Everybody is aware of the global statement that everything causes cancer nowadays. The way that things are going, we might me asked to stop breathing, since it might also be related to cancer. However, to be honest, a lot of the food we consume these days is not beneficial, but it can really cause cancer.
\
These foods are the following:
- Genetically Modified Foods
It is proved that all genetically modified foods cause cancer. Instead using this type of food, replace it with natural, organic food.
- Processed Meats
Sausages, bacon, hot dogs, lunch meat and any other kind of processed meat are full of chemical preservatives to make them seem fresh. They mostly contain sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite, which are related to cancer, especially colon cancer.
- Microwave Popcorns
Bags in which these popcorns are popped are known to be lined with various chemicals, also linked to infertility. Besides to infertility, these chemicals are linked to cancer as well, especially lung, liver, testes and pancreas cancer. You should strictly avoid them.
- Pop sodas
Pop sodas contain colors, sugar and food chemicals in great quantities, which release acid into the body. This is known to cause cancer. That is why you should drink them as less as you can.\
- The “diet” brands of drinks and sodas
They are very unhealthy. They contain aspartame and artificial sweeteners, things that are known to be cancer related, but also related to birth defects.
- Hydrogenated oils
Their aim is preserving the processed food and prolong their life span on the shelves in the stores. When ingested, these oils change the structure of the membranes of the cells in the body, and in a negative way.
- Conventional fruits
The most of the fruits we find in the stores are not organic, whether they be apples, grapes and almost all kinds of fruits. They are also all treated with pesticide, which also cause cancer.
- Refined white flours and sugars
Refined sugars are known to cause cancer, as well as hyperglycemia. The refined flour contains too much carbohydrates and this is one of the reasons it is linked to breast cancer and growth of the cancer cells.
- There is no vitamin D in farmed salmon
This food is on the list of foods causing cancer because it is over contaminated with antibiotics, pesticide, retardants, carcinogens, PCBs and other harmful substances.
- Refined sugar
It increases the levels of the blood insulin immediately and provides energy for the cancer cells. Sweeteners rich in fructose, like high fructose corn syrup for instance, are a rich source of energy for proliferation and metabolism of cancer cells. Products that increase the risk of cancer and you should avoid are: pies, cookies, cakes, juices, sauces, cereals etc. One of the reasons that the cancer cases’ number in the world is increasing is the intake of these foods, especially in great amounts.
