The 10 most carcinogenic foods

The statement "everything causes cancer" has become a popular hyperbole, which some people use as rhetorical fodder to excuse their own dietary and lifestyle failures. But the truth is that indeed, many ordinary food products have been scientifically proven to increase the risk of cancer. Here are the 10 most unhealthy carcinogenic foods you should never eat again or very rarely:

1 / Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs): Unfortunately, GMOs are present in food production, more specifically in most food derivatives based on corn, soy, rice and rapeseed. However, you can avoid them by checking that there is a GMO-free label, and by consuming foods that are naturally produced without biotechnology. Note that the European Union sets the threshold for GMOs that a European food product can contain at 0,9% without having to indicate it on the label.

2 / Processed meats: Processed meats, including cold cuts, bacon, sausages and hot dogs, contain chemical preservatives that make them look fresh and appetizing, but which can also cause cancer. Sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate have been linked to significantly increase the risk of colon cancer and other forms of cancer, so be sure to choose only products without nitrate.

3 / Popcorn in the microwave: At first glance it seems to be practical, but these bags of popcorn in the microwave are filled with chemicals that cause not only infertility, but also cancer liver, testis and pancreas. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Recognizes Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) in Popcorn Bag Liners in the Microwave as "Probably" Carcinogenic, and Several Independent Studies have Linked the Chemical at the origin of tumors. Instead, cook your popcorn yourself using the old pan method. It will cost you less and you will avoid getting intoxicated. (http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/QAA400701/M ... hreat.html).

4 / Soft drinks: Soft drinks are known for their ability to refresh and restore energy. But although they have these benefits, they are not necessarily beneficial for health. Like processed meats, soft drinks have been shown to cause cancer. Loaded with sugar, food chemicals, and colorings, they acidify the body and nourish cancer cells.http://www.naturalnews.com/031383_caram ... _cola.html).

5 / Diet drinks and foods: Worse than carbonated drinks, drinks and diet foods are at increased risk of certain forms of cancer. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EASA), more than 20 different research studies have found that aspartame, one of the most common artificial sweeteners, causes a range of illnesses, including birth defects and Cancer. Sucralose (Splenda), saccharin and other artificial sweeteners have also been linked to the development of cancer. (http://www.dailymail.co.uk).

6 / Refined white flour: A common ingredient in processed foods, but its excess carbohydrate content is a serious concern. A study published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, had found that regular consumption of refined carbohydrates has been linked to a 220 percent increase in breast cancer in women.

7 / Refined sugars: Refined sugars tend to rapidly increase insulin levels and nourish the growth of cancer cells.http://www.naturalnews.com/038071_cance ... weets.html).

8 / Conventional foods: Many people think that they eat healthy when they buy apples, grapes, strawberries in grocery stores. But unless these fruits are organic or verified to be pesticide-free, they could be a major risk for cancer. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has found that up to 98 percent of all conventional products are contaminated with carcinogenic pesticides.

9 / Farmed salmon: Farmed salmon is another highly carcinogenic food, according to Dr David Carpenter, director of the Institute for Health and the Environment at the University of Albany. Farmed salmon are not only lacking in vitamin D, but they are often contaminated with carcinogenic chemicals, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), pesticides and antibiotics, according to his assessment.http://www.albany.edu/ihe/salmonstudy/pressrelease.html)

10 / Hydrogenated oils: They are commonly used to preserve processed foods and keep them stable for storage. But hydrogenated oils change the structure and flexibility of cell membranes in the body, which can lead to a large number of illnesses like cancer. Some manufacturers are phasing out the use of hydrogenated oils and replacing them with other safer alternatives, but trans fats are still widely used in processed foods.

Wink: Even if these revelations can seem frightening, be without fear (or almost) because there is always a trick to get out of it. Do not be completely categorical in your choices, but rather INFORMED!
