Top 10 Cancer Causing Foods to Cut Your Cancer Risk in Half
TOP 10 CANCER CAUSING FOODS TO CUT YOUR CANCER RISK IN HALF
Several of the most common and aggressive cancers (see pic) have to do with your gastrointestinal system, making it a major area of your daily life that dramatically affects your prevention – and survival – of cancer. The food and drinks you consume, is critical to your overall wellbeing.
1. Genetically Modified Foods (GMOs): The rapidly growing industry of genetically modified crops are infiltrating our food supply at an alarming rate. Look for GMO-free labels whenever possible or buy organic.
2. Microwave Popcorn: Chemicals in the bag and the butter are a major topic of cancer debates around the world. Make your own popcorn the old-fashioned way.
3. Canned Goods: Most cans and are lined with a product called bisphenol-A (BPA), which has been shown to genetically alter the brain cells. Help protect your DNA by sticking to fresh or frozen vegetables.
4. Flame-Grilled Red Meat: While grilled food can taste delicious, preparing meats in this way – especially processed meats like hot dogs – releases a carcinogen called heterocyclic aromatic amines.
5. Refined Sugar: The biggest cancer-causing food (by far) is high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and other refined sugars. Refined sugars (and foods made with them) feed the growth of cancer cells.
6. Salted, Pickled, and Smoked Foods: These contain preservatives, such as nitrates, which are intended to prolong shelf life. Eventually, such toxins cause damage at the cellular level and lead to diseases like cancer.
7. Soda and Carbonated Beverages: Sodas are a major cancer-causing food. With high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), dyes and chemicals, they are very bad for every aspect of your health with zero nutritional value.
8. White Flour: When flour is refined, all nutritional value is removed. Then it’s bleached with chlorine gas to make it more appealing to consumers. Try whole-wheat or organic flour for a better option.
9. Farmed Fish: Farming operations mean the fish are treated with antibiotics, pesticides, and other carcinogenic chemicals to try and control the bacterial, viral, and parasitic outbreaks that occur.
10. Hydrogenated Oils: Vegetable oils are chemically extracted from their source and chemically treated to change the smell and taste. Unhealthy omega-6 fats alter the structure of our cell membranes. Go for olive oil.
