That is true.
G 48 is basically G 05 less the nitrite and a bit less silicate.

Nitrite is absorbed in the blood, and hemoglobin (the oxygen-carrying component of blood) is converted to methemoglobin in the presence of various chemicals, of which nitrite is one, and a high enough level results in methemoglobinemia. Methemoglobin does not carry oxygen efficiently. This results in a reduced oxygen supply to vital tissues such as the brain. Infants are particularly susceptible since methemoglobin in infant blood cannot change back to hemoglobin, which normally occurs in adults. Severe methemoglobinemia can result in brain damage and death.
