Granted, everyone is weary and wary of the global assertion that everything causes cancer now. As it is, in a short while, we may be asked to stop drawing in breath, as it may also be cancer-related! Truth be told, however, a lot of food we ingest these days do not help us, actually, as they are cancer inducing. They are:
1.Genetically Modified Foods
All Genetically Modified Foods have been proven to cause cancer. In light of this, organic and locally grown foods are recommended.
2.Processed Meats
Lunch meats, hot dogs, sausages, bacon and all other Processed Meats contain chemical preservatives that make them appear fresh. They contain sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite that are linked to the causes of cancer, especially colon cancer.
4.Microwaved Popcorns
The bags in which corns are popped are lined with chemicals, which have been linked to infertility. These chemicals have also been fingered as the causes of cancer in the lung, testes, liver and pancreas. One word: RUN!
4.Pop Sodas
The sugar, coloring and food chemicals in Pop sodasrelease acid into the body which causes cancer. Give the sodas a wide berth, people.
5.The ‘DIET’ BRANDS OF DRINKS AND SODAS
These are just not healthy. The artificial sweeteners, aspartame, used in these products do not only cause cancer, but is also responsible for birth defects.
6.HYDROGENATED OILS
They are used to preserve processed food and increase their shelf life span. When ingested, they restructure the body cell membranes, for the worse.
7.CONVENTIONAL FRUITS
Fruits like grapes, apples and all other fruits found in big departmental shops are mostly not organic. Be not deceived, because most have been subjected to pesticides that result in cancerous growths.
8.REFINED WHITE FLOURS AND SUGARS
Refined sugars, for instance, is hyperglycemia-inducing and causes cancer cell growth.Carbohydrates are in surplus supply in refined flours and is linked to breast cancer and the spread of cancerous cells.
9.There is no vitamin D in FARMED SALMON
It is listed under cancer-causing foods, as the flame retardants, carcinogens, antibiotics, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) and pesticides used on them does nothing but contaminate them.
10.REFINED SUGAR
Readily increases the blood insulin level and also is a source of energy for cancer cells. Fructose-rich sweeteners, for example, high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) prove to be a rich source of energy for metabolism and proliferation of cancer cells. Cakes, juices, pies, cookies, sodas, cereals, sauces contain these sugars and increase the risk for cancer. Due to high consumption of these foods the cancer rates are rising fast worldwide.
