2. 11 Cancer Causing Foods To Kick Out Of Your Menu
Cancer has become a
popular hyperbole, and one
that some people use as
rhetorical fodder to excuse
their own dietary and
lifestyle failures,
particularly as they pertain
to cancer risk. But the
truth of the matter is that
many common food items
have, indeed, been
scientifically shown to
increase cancer risk, and
some of them
substantially. Here are 10
of the most unhealthy,
cancer-causing foods that
you should never eat
again.

3. Alcohol
Alcohol consumption
is one that is always
in debate with its
health effects.
However, it is clear
that continually
consuming over the
serving size (one
drink per day for
women and 2 drinks
per day for men) can
increase your risk of
cancer in the
following
parts/organs of the
body:
- Mouth
- Esophagus
- Bowel
- Liver Breast cancer
Keep your drinking to
a minimum in order
to avoid any
dangerous side
effects.

4. Canned Tomatoes
In general it is recommended to avoid canned produce for its high
sodium content and canned fruits for their high sugar content. What
makes the canned tomatoes more dangerous than other canned
produce?
• The acidity in tomatoes can break down the lining of the can it
comes in. These cans are typically lined with bisphenol-a (BPA), a
chemical also used to make plastics. BPA has been linked to cancer,
as well as a few other health issues.
• To limit exposure to this chemical it is best to make sure the
products are BPA free, or preserve your own tomatoes in glass jars.

5. Processed Meat
Ever wonder why processed meat products look so appealing and
enticing? It is because of the following:
• Processed meats contain too many chemical preservatives.
• Most processed meats contain sodium nitrite, which according to
nutritionist Mike Adams, author of Grocery Warning Manual, is a
carcinogenic precursor.

6. Diet Soda
Aspartame, one of the most
common artificial
sweeteners, causes a range
of illnesses. This includes:
• Birth defects
• Cancer
This has been found out by
the European Food Safety
Authority (EFSA) when they
conducted 20 separate
research studies.

7. Refined White Flours
Refined flour is a common ingredient
in processed foods, but its excess
carbohydrate content is a serious
cause for concern. A study published
in the journal Cancer Epidemiology,
Mile Markers, and Prevention found
certain things:
• Regular consumption of refined
carbohydrates was linked to a 220
percent increase in breast cancer
among women.
• High-glycemic foods in general
have also been shown to rapidly
raise blood sugar levels in the body,
which directly feeds cancer cell
growth and spread.

8. Chips
Though most of us love to have
chips, this might be one food
that you should not consider
having too much. This is
because of several reasons:
• Chips are not only loaded
with fats, trans-fats, calorie, but
also preservatives, artificial
flavoring, sodium and chemicals.
These factors contribute to the
growth of cancerous cells.
• Chips have artificial flavors,
numerous preservatives, and
colors as well, which is
something else your body
doesn’t need.
• Potato chips are fried in high
temperatures to make them
crispy but this also causes them
to make a material called
acrylamide, a known carcinogen
that is also found in cigarettes.

9. GMO’s
In a study done by Dr. Pusztai at the
Rowett Institute in Scotland, rats
were fed GMO foods, especially
potatoes. ALL rats showed certain
results in just the first 10 days of the
project. :
• Damaged immune systems
• Pre-cancerous cell growths
• Smaller brains and livers
• American consumers believe that
the FDA has approved these GMO
foods and this is simply not the case.

10. Artificial Sweeteners
Most people use artificial sweeteners for 2 reasons:
• To lose weight
• They are diabetic and must avoid sugar
The main problem in all this is that there are numerous studies that
show people who consume artificial sweeteners on a regular basis,
such as in sodas, or coffee sweeteners, actually gain weight. It also
does little or nothing to help those with diabetes.

11. Apples, Grapes And Other Fruits
Many people think they are
eating healthy when they
buy apples, grapes, or
strawberries from the store.
But unless these fruits are
organic or verified to be
pesticide-free, they could be
a major cancer risk. The
Environmental Working
Group (EWG) found that up
to 98 percent of all
conventional produce, and
particularly the type found
on its “dirty” fruits list, is
contaminated with cancer-
causing pesticides.

12. Soft Drinks
Soft drinks, soda, pop… no matter what you call it, it’s still detrimental to
your health! Why?
• Soda is packed full of calories, sugar and artificial ingredients
• Has ZERO nutritional benefit.
• One can of soda contains about ten packets of sugar and most popular
diet and sugared sodas are nearly as corrosive to dental enamel as
battery acid.

13. Think the occasional soda won’t hurt? Studies have shown that
only drinking two sodas per week nearly doubles the risk of
pancreatic cancer. There are plenty of alternatives out there, so
next time you’re craving something sweet, think about what you’re
putting into your body. Your health is an investment, never forget
that!
