14 Cancer-Causing Foods You Should Never Put In Your Mouth Again
On the website of the American Institute for Cancer it is said that most of the cancers can be prevented. 60-70% of cancers are preventable just by changing the diet and the lifestyle in general. This article gives you information about all the changes you can make in your diet that will lead you to a better health and lower risks of cancers.
BPA lined cans – it is an ingredient that the hard plastics and the resins contain. It is used for coating metal tins. Many laboratory studies have proven that BPA is connected to infertility, diabetes, obesity and cancer. Many dental composites and plastic products contain this bisphenol-A (BPA), so you should be careful, especially when buying canned products, and look for those with label “BPA free”.
Cured and Smoked Foods – the most famous preservatives of food are nitrates and nitrites. They add color to meat and keep it and other foods safe from spoiling. In the process of cooking they turn into N-nitroso compounds, as nitrosamines and nitrosamides are. These are known to increase the risk of cancer.
Farmed Fish – farmed fish has more chemical pollutants than wild fish, the Food and Water Watch says. One of these chemicals is PCB, famous carcinogen. Because of the overcrowding, this type of fish is more prone to illnesses, so this often means they are given antibiotics. Their liability to sea lice means that they are also given pesticides.
GMOs – genetically modified organisms (GMO) are becoming a part of our diet very rapidly and this is upsetting. They need to be avoided as much as possible. You can at least try and buy food labeled “GMO free”.
Grilled Meat – PAH (polycyclic aromatic Hydrocarbons) are a result of a kind of combustion, like coal or wood burning. An extra issue is the fact that very often some fat drips into the fire and creates flare up and smoke, causing the PAHs to affix to the processed meat and by eating this meat you increase your risk of cancer.
Hydrogenated Oils – hydrogenated oils are the trans-fats made by man. Their chemical structure is changed in order to prevent the product from going rancid and prolong their shelf life. According to Harvard School of Public Health, trans fats encourage over-activity of the immune system and inflammation, and are connected to heart disease, diabetes, stroke and other chronic diseases. They also contain many chemicals for covering the odor and changing the oil taste.
Microwave Popcorn – the bags of microwave popcorn are lined with Perfluoralkyls, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) to avoid oil soaking through the packaging. These chemicals leach into the popcorn when you heat them and appeared to be blood contaminants when you ingest them. PFOA is connected to tumors in animal organs like pancreas, liver, testicles and mammary glands in rats, and also increases the number of cases of prostate cancer in workers in the PFOA plants.
Non Organic Fruits & Vegetables – most of the crops are grown with herbicides, pesticides and most of the used seeds are genetically modified, which makes them very dangerous for you and your health.
Processed foods – cured meat is usually high in preservatives like nitrates and nitrites that, if taken in high amounts, represent risk of stomach and other cancers. Also, processed foods usually contain white flour, oils, sugars, colors, flavorings and some similar ingredients, all of then unhealthy and risky.
Refined Sugars – sugar is proved to be connected to many issues like high levels of blood fats, increased risk of heart disease, high level of blood triglycerides obesity, arthritis, immune suppression etc. also, cancer cells are known to be fed on sugars.
Soda/sports drinks – there are no benefits from drinking soda or sports drinks whatsoever. The bad sides on the other hand are numerous. They discharge the vitamins and minerals from your body. They’re full of sugar, dyes, fructose corn syrup, brominated vegetable oil which is a flame retardant, aspartame etc.
Soy protein isolates – 90-95% of the soybeans grown in the USA, from which soy protein isolate is produced, are genetically modified to withstand herbicides. In other words, they are “roundup ready”. The American Dietetic Association claims that soy protein isolates contain anti-nutrients that obstacle the body’s ability to digest food and absorb and utilize nutrients via the blood stream. The industrial manufacturing process of soy involves acid washing in aluminum tanks, and aluminum is known to be really toxic for the kidneys and the nervous system.
Sugar – the main food for cancer cells is sugar, taken in the form of sugar, or as a product that later on will be transformed to sugar: pastas, grains, breads, carbs, and fruits. When fighting cancer, one should eliminate sugars, but when trying to stay healthy, one can include fruit in one’s diet.
White flour – those grains which are grown commercially are full of chemicals: the seed is usually treated with fungicides, the plant later on with pesticides; the bins in which the harvested grains are stored are treated with insecticides. All of them are toxic. The next processes include high temperature, high speed rollers, chlorine oxide (as a whitener and an aging agent). The final product has no nutrients, only toxins.
