7 CANCER CAUSING FOODS YOU SHOULD STOP EATING

Spread the love

Here is a list of
foods that you should stop eating immediately. They have been found to
contribute to cancer, and otherwise wreak havoc on your health. We’ve provided
alternatives so that you can still eat these foods, but in a healthy way.
MICROWAVE POPCORN
If you enjoy
finishing off a day by curling up and watching a movie with a bag of freshly
nuked popcorn, it may be time to upgrade your night by going with a healthier
popcorn option.
It’s easy enough to
enjoy the taste of popcorn without the cancer risk by popping your own at home
in ghee or coconut oil. This is actually a healthy snack as long as you’re
using organic popcorn kernels. Avoid buying it at the movie theaters because
the buttering agent they use is highly questionable, and could also be another
cancer-former.
Cancer-Causing
Agent :Perfluorooctanoic acid is created during the microwave process from
substances found on the inside of the bags.
BEEF JERKY
Touted as a healthy
go-anywhere protein-packed snack, most commercially produced beef jerky
contains nitrites that have been proven to contribute to cancer. Nitrites are
found in other foods, but beef jerky has much more of them per ounce than many
other foods. When you want the convenience of beef jerky without the cancer
risk you can make your own at home using organic, grass-fed ground beef rolled
out thin using a rolling pin, and baked in the oven for hours at the lowest
temperature.
Cancer-Causing
Agent: Nitrites in beef jerky have been linked to cancer, and they are added to
give the jerky its color and also to preserve it and keep it fresh for months
as it sits on store shelves.

CANNED FOODS
There’s a big
debate over whether there’s enough BPAs in canned foods to cause cancer, and
whether or not they’re transferred to the food the cans contain. Each side of
the debate can produce studies that prove their case, so it’s hard to know
which way to lean.
One way to sidestep
the debate is to simply eat fresh or frozen food, or buy food in cans that
specifically state that they are BPA-free. When there’s a controversy this big
you can bet that it’s between advocates that rallying for consumer protection
and Big Food that wants to maintain the status quo and their profit margins.
Cancer-Causing
Agent: Bisphenol-A (BPA) is the cancer-causing culprit here.
GMO FOODS
The arms race is on
when it comes to spraying crops with herbicides and pesticides, and these days
many seeds have these toxic chemicals built right into them. This means that
conventional produce is going to have these chemicals in it as an inherent
substance, one that you can’t simply rinse off before eating.
Look for foods that
are 100% organic, or contain the “Non-GMO Project Verified” seal on it to be
sure that the food you’re getting is free of GMOs. Why get involved in the
debate over the harmful effects of GMOs when you can simply avoid them and not
worry about it anymore?
Cancer-Causing
Agent: Herbicides and pesticides that have been shown to cause cancer, among
other diseases, are in GMO food from conventional produce to packaged goods.
COLAS
Before you enjoy
that refreshing cola you may want to stop to consider what’s in it. In order to
give it the distinctive brown color that shoppers have come to expect, cola
manufacturers have been adding in a dye that contains a chemical that’s been
found to cause cancer.
There’s also High
Fructose Corn Syrup which will help feed any cancer cells you currently have.
It’s best not to wait around for the food industry to find a replacement for
this dye, now that consumers are on to them. Avoid drinking cola and as an
added you should see a drop in your weight thanks to no more High Fructose Corn
Syrup and spikes to your blood sugar levels.
Cancer-Causing
Agent: 4-MI (4-methylimidazole) is what gives cola its classic caramel color,
and is also directly linked to cancer in thousands of individual cases.
DIET FOODS
The sad part about
buying diet foods is that they often don’t help you lose weight, and could
additionally be contributing to the likelihood of cancer. Obesity increases the
chance of getting cancer, so it almost seems like you’re caught between a rock
and a hard place when it comes to losing weight in a healthy way.
Many diet foods use
artificial sweeteners to provide you the taste you’re looking for without
having an effect on the number of sugar grams and calories. These artificial
sweeteners are chemicals that have been created in a lab and have a toxic
effect on the body.
Cancer-Causing
Agent: Aspartame. the most widely used artificial sweetener, has been linked to
cancer for years, despite the FDA and other groups citing clinical trials that
say there isn’t enough clear evidence to pull the toxin from the food supply.
FRIED SNACKS
Walk down any snack
aisle in any grocery store and you’ll be bombarded by an array of snacks, each
one packaged to look absolutely delicious, and each contributing to the
formation of cancer.
The problem occurs
during the frying process, and since these are pre-packaged snacks consumers
often lose sight of the fact that they’ve been deep fried, much like french
fries. The deep frying process that browns the snack and makes it crisp is the
same process that forms cancer-causing substances that stay with the food.
Cancer-Causing
Agent: Glycidamide created by the metabolizing of Acrylamide, a substance
produced from frying foods at high temperatures, is theorized as the
cancer-causer for many snacks sold in stores today.
