When your parents were young,
no one was concerned about
foods that cause cancer. The
research was very young at the
time, but there were also far
less processed foods on the
market. People ate healthier and
more pure foods, because that
was what was available to
them.
Today, it seems like doctors link
everything to causing cancer –
it’s hard to determine what to
really stay away from. While you
think you may be doing the
right thing for your health by
drinking diet sodas or low-
calorie popcorn, you’re actually
eating some of the worst
cancer-causing foods out there!
Below are 16 of the biggest
carcinogen culprits that you
probably eat every day. While
you may be thinking “Everything
causes cancer, so why bother
changing my diet,” these 16
common food items have been
scientifically shown to
significantly increase the risk of
cancers.
#1 Microwave Popcorn
Sure it’s easy to pop a bag of
popcorn in the microwave when
you want a quick and tasty
snack, but is it really worth
risking yourself for liver,
testicular and pancreatic cancer?
The microwave popcorn bags
you have in your cabinet are
lined with carcinogenic
chemicals AND so is a chemical
in the popcorn itself, which
creates the artificial butter
flavor. If you can’t give up your
favorite movie-time snack, it’s
time to switch to the old-
fashioned stove top or a kernel
popping machine like you see at
movie theaters.
#2 Non Organic Produce
You’re not alone in thinking ALL
fruits and vegetables are good
for you, but there are actually
many dangerous pesticides
sprayed on non-organic fruits
that are linked to cancer. One
example is Altrazine, a weed-
killer used at many U.S. farms,
but banned in Europe for
causing severe problems in
humans, such as infertility.
Another problem with non-
organic farmed produce is the
use of toxic fertilizers and
hormones used to make fruits
and veggies bigger. In case you
were wondering, the worst
offenders are apples, followed
by oranges, strawberries and
grapes. ALWAYS wash fruits and
veggies to be safe, but know
that this doesn’t remove all
pesticides.
#3 Canned Tomatoes
I know what you’re thinking…
You’ve likely heard how the
nutrient Lycopene in tomatoes
lowers cancer risks, but that
benefit is completely cancelled
out when the lining of canned
tomatoes contain chemicals that
disrupt hormonal activity in the
body. Since tomatoes are so
acidic, the chemical BPA actually
leeches from the lining into the
tomatoes. This toxic chemical
has been linked to different
cancers, heart disease and
reproductive problems. Next
time you feel like making a nice
red sauce, go with a glass jar or
stew the tomatoes yourself.
#4 Processed Meat
If you’re a carnivore, it may be
hard to give up tasty deli
sandwiches or cured meats to
go with your wine and cheese,
but the benefits definitely
outweigh the cancerous risk.
Processed meats are created
with excessive salt and
chemicals that damage our
health. A study over 13 years
showed that 1 out of 17 people
died who ate 160 grams of
processed meats. That’s 44
percent risk of cancer, as
opposed to people who ate 20
grams or less. These meats are
so packed with preservatives to
look fresh, but they are well-
known carcinogens, including
the same things found in
cigarette smoke.
#5 Farm Raised Salmon
Sure fish, especially salmon, is
known as one of the healthiest
foods out there, but
unfortunately more than 60%
of salmon in the U.S. is farm-
raised… and could be deadly.
Farm-raised fish are fed
unnatural diets and
contaminated with chemicals,
antibiotics, pesticides and other
known carcinogens found in
materials like asbestos. Farmed
salmon is also fattier than fresh
salmon, which means it soaks
up more toxins. Next time you
want a healthy omega-3 packed,
treat yourself to fresh Alaskan
salmon instead.
#6 Potato Chips
They may be cheap, easy and
delicious, but these crispy,
addicting snacks can also be
deadly. These fatty foods don’t
only cause weight gain because
of their high trans-fat content,
they also have excessive sodium
levels, which cause high blood
pressure and artificial flavors,
preservatives and colors.
Another risk is the presence of
acrymalide, a known carcinogen
found in cigarettes. Try not to
feed these quick snacks to
yourself or your kids and choose
pretzels, air-popped popcorn or
baked apple chips instead.
#7 Hydrogenated Oils
Hydrogenated oils are vegetable
oils, which cannot be naturally
extracted like olive oil, soy or
canola oil, they must be
chemically removed. They are
commonly used in many foods
in your pantry to preserve and
keep their shelf life, yet they are
also linked to cancer, birth
defects, heart disease and many
other fatalities. NEVER cook with
hydrogenated oils and check
your labels for healthy oils like
olive, soy and canola instead.
#8 Salty, Pickled And Smoked
Foods
They may be delicious, but many
salty, pickled and smoked foods
are processed with the
preservative nitrate, which
changes in our bodies to N-
nitroso composites, which are
associate with high cancer-
developing risks. Smoked foods
like meat or nuts absorb the
smoke, which contains the same
tar found in cigarettes.
Colorectal and stomach cancer
are linked to salty, pickled and
smoked foods. Do you have a
taste for these cravable foods
now?!
#9 Processed White Flour
Oprah famously lost a lot of
weight by cutting out anything
white, especially the big culprit
– white flour. You may have
heard it’s bad for you, but you
probably don’t realize that
chemically-bleaching flour with
chlorine gas kills all of its
healthy nutrients. Chlorine gas
can be deadly when inhaled, so
why would we want it in our
dinner? White flour also
contains a high glycemic rate,
which raises blood sugar and
insulin levels and can directly
cause diabetes. Cancerous
tumors feed on sugar in the
bloodstream, so by avoiding
refined grains like processed
white flour, you can avoid or
starve deadly tumors.
#10 - GMO's
You may have heard the term
GMO, but you’re not alone in not
fully understanding the dangers
of genetically modified
organisms. Why would anyone
want to eat something that
sounds like that, right?! WRONG!
After GMO’s were introduced in
1996, Americans with 3 or more
chronic illnesses jumped from 7
to 13% in just 9 years. Allergies
skyrocketed and so did Autism
in children, reproductive and
digestion problems. GM
vegetables fed to rats caused
development of horrifying
tumors. One of the biggest
culprits was GM bovine growth
hormone found in milk. Stay
away from these silent killers
and choose certified organic,
non-GMO verified and locally-
grown foods that are produced
without biotechnology. You’ll be
thankful you did later on in life.
#11 - Refined sugars
Cancer cells LOVE refined sugars,
which spike insulin levels and
and promote cancer growth.
High-fructose corn syrup is
considered the worst offender
and it’s found in any sweet you
can think of. It’s been known for
a long time that cancer cells
feed off of sugar, so with so
many people addicted to sugary
treats, it’s no wonder why
cancer rates have skyrocketed.
#12 - Artificial sweeteners
While many people choose
artificial sweeteners to lose
weight, they are actually doing
way worse damage to the body.
People who consume artificial
sweeteners in soda, coffee or
diet-candy actually end up
gaining weight and it does
nothing to help those with
diabetes. Aspartame found in
artificial sweeteners has been
known to cause convulsions,
cataracts and gastro paresis.
Also, artificial sweeteners do
nothing to inhibit the body’s
ability to monitor its daily
calorie consumption, making us
crave sweets even more.
Another deadly toxin called DKP
forms in the body from these
fake sweets that produces
cancer-causing chemicals,
especially brain tumors. To sum
it up, there is pretty much NEVER
a good reason to ingest artificial
sweeteners.
#13 - ANYTHING
You may be thinking you’re
doing the right thing when
choosing a food with a “diet” or
“low-fat” label, but you’re
actually doing way more harm
than good. Chemical artificial
sweetener aspartame, again, is
the big culprit, causing cancer,
birth defects and heart
problems. Think about it –
anything “diet” is chemically
processed and not REAL food.
These foods also contain
additives like ones found in
cocaine to make you feel good,
but also be addicting. Be smart
and eat nature’s delicious,
natural foods – organic only, of
course!
#14 - Alcohol
Alcohol use is the second
leading cause of cancer, right
behind tobacco use. While a
moderate or low consumption
of alcohol can be healthy and
lead to a reduced risk of heart
disease, excessive drinking is
known to cause heart failure,
stroke, and sudden death.
Excessive alcohol use is the
biggest cause of mouth,
esophagus, liver, colon, mouth,
rectum and breast cancers.
Don’t worry! You don’t need to
give up your glass of wine with
dinner, but, for your health’s
sake, stick to one.
#15 - Red meat
If you love a delicious steak now
and then, don’t worry! Red meat
is actually a good thing in your
diet in small doses, but only if
it’s grass-fed beef, which can
actually help fight certain
cancers. However, people who
eat meat like hamburgers every
day have a greater risk in
developing deadly cancers,
upping their risk to 22% in men
and 20% in women. Red meat is
particularly good at causing
colon cancer. So, enjoy your
steak dinner now and then, but
don’t do it every night of the
week and when you do crave
red meat, stick to grass-fed,
organic beef.
#16 - Soft drinks
Soft drinks, soda, pop… no
matter what you call it, it’s still
detrimental to your health! Soda
is packed full of calories, sugar
and artificial ingredients, and
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. 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!
