There is a saying that we are what we eat. Nowadays, about 1.5 million people develop cancer each year, so we have to be aware of the foods that cause cancer. Here are 18 top cancer-causing daily foods.
1. Microwave Popcorn
Microwave popcorn bags have perfluorooctanoic acid, a toxin linked to infertility in women and increases the risk of kidney, bladder, liver, pancreas, and testicular cancers. Most popcorns use soybean oil, which can result in stomach problems and skin rashes.
2. Farmed Salmon
Farmed Salmon live on artificial foods and can be filled with chemicals, antibiotics, pesticides, and other known carcinogens.
3. Soda Pop
Sodas, full of sugar, are a primary reason for nationwide obesity and can end in inflammation, insulin resistance, and gastroesophageal reflux disease.
4. Processed Meats
Processed Meats, including sausages, hot dogs, and bacon, harm your health with numerous chemicals and preservatives in them.
5. Canned Foods
Most cans contain a chemical known as bisphenol-A, or BPA, which influences gene working. So most canned foods are said to make people vulnerable to cancer.
6. Refined Sugars
Back in 1931, German Otto Warburg, the Nobel laureate in medicine, first discovered that tumors and cancers both use sugars to feed themselves to proliferate.
7. Potato Chips
Potato chips are high in weight gaining elements, and their excessive trans-fats and sodium can cause high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
8. Hydrogenated Oils
Hydrogenated oils are frequently deodorized and colored to look appealing. They contain high levels of Omega-6 fatty acids, which can cause heart disease and various cancers, especially skin cancer.
9. Pickled and Smoked Foods
Smoked foods contain considerable amounts of tar which is a known carcinogen. Meanwhile pickled foods, cured by nitrates and also colored, are associated with higher rates of colorectal and stomach cancer.
10. Highly Processed White Flours
Refining grains destroys its natural nutrients and gives it a very high glycemic rate, which can quickly raise the blood sugar level and insulin levels.
11. GMO's
A study by the Rowett Institute found that rats, fed GMO foods, ALL showed damage immune systems, pre-cancerous cell growths, plus smaller brains and livers.
12. Artificial Sweeteners
Mounting evidence has proven that the chemicals that make up artificial sweeteners break down in the body as a deadly toxin called DKP, which can cause cancer, particularly brain tumors.
13. Alcohol
A moderate consumption of alcohol can be healthy, but excessive drinking is the primary cause of heart failure, stroke, sudden death, female breast cancers and more.
14. Diet Anything
Diet foods are all chemically processed and generally contain aspartame, which causes many diseases such as cancers, birth defects, and heart problems.
15. Red Meat
Studies have found that eating red meat every day, even in a small amount, increases a man's risk of dying from cancer by 22 percent and a woman's by 20 percent.
16. Non-organic Fruits
Non-organic fruits are contaminated with some very dangerous pesticides such as organophosphates and atrazine that cause severe problems in humans, especially in our reproductive capabilities.
17. High Fat Foods
Fat is limitedly linked to cancer, but eating high-fat foods can cause other health problems, primarily obesity, which increases the risk of bowel, pancreatic, breast and kidney cancer.
18. Donuts
These sweet treats contain trans-fats, processed sugar, and white flour, all of which are cancer causing foods we have mentioned before. So keep away from them and stay healthy.
