11 Cancer Causing Foods To Kick Out Of Your Menu

Cancer has become a

popular hyperbole, and one that some people use as rhetorical fodder to excuse their own dietary and lifestyle failures, particularly as they pertain to cancer risk. But the truth of the matter is that many common food items have, indeed, been scientifically shown to increase cancer risk, and some of them substantially. Here are 10 of the most unhealthy, cancer-causing foods that you should never eat again.

Alcohol Alcohol consumption

is one that is always in debate with its health effects. However, it is clear that continually consuming over the serving size (one drink per day for women and 2 drinks per day for men) can increase your risk of cancer in the following parts/organs of the body:

- Mouth

- Esophagus - Bowel - Liver Breast cancer

Keep your drinking to a minimum in order to avoid any dangerous side effects.

Canned Tomatoes In general it is recommended to avoid canned produce for its high

sodium content and canned fruits for their high sugar content. What makes the canned tomatoes more dangerous than other canned produce?

• The acidity in tomatoes can break down the lining of the can it comes in. These cans are typically lined with bisphenol-a (BPA), a chemical also used to make plastics. BPA has been linked to cancer, as well as a few other health issues.

• To limit exposure to this chemical it is best to make sure the products are BPA free, or preserve your own tomatoes in glass jars.

Processed Meat Ever wonder why processed meat products look so appealing and

enticing? It is because of the following:

• Processed meats contain too many chemical preservatives.

• Most processed meats contain sodium nitrite, which according to nutritionist Mike Adams, author of Grocery Warning Manual, is a carcinogenic precursor.

Aspartame, one of the most common artificial sweeteners, causes a range of illnesses. This includes:

Refined White Flours Refined flour is a common ingredient

in processed foods, but its excess carbohydrate content is a serious cause for concern. A study published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Mile Markers, and Prevention found certain things:

• Regular consumption of refined carbohydrates was linked to a 220 percent increase in breast cancer among women.

• High-glycemic foods in general have also been shown to rapidly raise blood sugar levels in the body, which directly feeds cancer cell growth and spread.

Chips Though most of us love to have

chips, this might be one food that you should not consider having too much. This is because of several reasons:

• Chips are not only loaded

with fats, trans-fats, calorie, but also preservatives, artificial flavoring, sodium and chemicals. These factors contribute to the growth of cancerous cells.

• Chips have artificial flavors, numerous preservatives, and colors as well, which is something else your body doesn’t need.

• Potato chips are fried in high temperatures to make them crispy but this also causes them to make a material called acrylamide, a known carcinogen that is also found in cigarettes.

GMO’s

In a study done by Dr. Pusztai at the Rowett Institute in Scotland, rats were fed GMO foods, especially potatoes. ALL rats showed certain results in just the first 10 days of the project. :

• Damaged immune systems • Pre-cancerous cell growths • Smaller brains and livers • American consumers believe that

the FDA has approved these GMO foods and this is simply not the case.

Artificial Sweeteners

Most people use artificial sweeteners for 2 reasons:

• To lose weight • They are diabetic and must avoid sugar The main problem in all this is that there are numerous studies that

show people who consume artificial sweeteners on a regular basis, such as in sodas, or coffee sweeteners, actually gain weight. It also does little or nothing to help those with diabetes.

Apples, Grapes And Other Fruits

Many people think they are eating healthy when they buy apples, grapes, or strawberries from the store. But unless these fruits are organic or verified to be pesticide-free, they could be a major cancer risk. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that up to 98 percent of all conventional produce, and particularly the type found on its “dirty” fruits list, is contaminated with cancer-causing pesticides.

Soft Drinks Soft drinks, soda, pop… no matter what you call it, it’s still detrimental to

your health! Why?

• Soda is packed full of calories, sugar and artificial ingredients • Has ZERO nutritional benefit. • One can of soda contains about ten packets of sugar and most popular

diet and sugared sodas are nearly as corrosive to dental enamel as battery acid.

Think the occasional soda won’t hurt? Studies have shown that only drinking two sodas per week nearly doubles the risk of pancreatic cancer. There are plenty of alternatives out there, so next time you’re craving something sweet, think about what you’re putting into your body. Your health is an investment, never forget that!
