The Top Most Cancer-Causing Foods

The truth is that many common food items have been scientifically shown to enhance the  risk of cancer, and some of them are very significant. The following list depicts the top  most unhealthy foods that causes cancer that you should never eat again:

Top cancer causing foods

 * Hydrogenated oils

Hydrogenated oils are commonly used in the  preservation of processed foods and keep them shelf-stable. But unfortunately , hydrogenated oils distort the  flexibility of cell membranes throughout the body, which can result to a host of debilitating diseases such as cancer. Some producers of oil  are phasing out the production and  use of hydrogenated oils and replacing them with palm oil and other safer subtituite, but trans fats are still widely used in processed foods.

* Processed meats

 Processed meat products  include  lunch meats, bacon, sausage, and hot dogs  and majority of these processed meat contain  preservatives chemical that make them appear  appealing and fresh .  Sodium nitrate & sodium nitrite have been linked to enhance  the risk of colon and other forms of cancer, so you are advised to choose only uncured meat products made without nitrates, and preferably from grass-fed sources.

*  Genetically-modified organisms (GMOs)

It should be noted that  there is have no legitimate place  of GMO's in any cancer-free diet, especially now that both GMOs and the chemicals used to grow them have been depict  to cause rapid  growth of tumor. But GMOs are everywhere, including in most food derivatives made from  canola , soyabeans and conventional corn. However, you can avoid them by sticking with

 locally-grown foods that are produced naturally without biotechnology , certified non GMO verified and certified organic.

*  Microwave popcorn

 The  bags of microwave popcorn are lined with chemicals that are linked to cause  liver, testicular, and pancreatic , liver , testicular  cancers and also infertility.  Perfluorooctanoic acid  [ PFOA ] in microwave popcorn bag linings has been recognized by the United State Environmental Protection Agency [ EPA ]  as “likely” carcinogenic, and several independent studies have linked the chemical to causative factor of  tumors. Similarly, the use of  ''Diacetyl chemical ''  in the popcorn itself is linked to causing both lung cancer  and  damage .

* Soda pop

 Soda pop has been shown to cause cancer as well. Loaded with colouring , food chemicals and  sugar,  soda pop  feed  the body with more acid  and literally feeds cancer cells. Popular soda pop chemicals like caramel color and its derivative **4-methylimidazole** (4-MI) have also specifically been linked to cause cancer.

* ‘Diet’ foods , Beverages

   Diet” soda pop and various other diet beverages and foods also cause cancer.  According to a  recent scientific review issued by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) of over twenty [ 20 ] independent  research studies found that **Aspartame**, one of the most common artificial sweeteners, causes a range of illnesses including cancer &  birth defects .Saccharin ,  Sucralose (Splenda) and  other numerous artificial sweeteners have also been linked as a causative factor  of  cancer.

*  Refined ‘white’ flours

Refined flour is a common  processed foods ingredient , but its excessive content of  carbohydrate  is a serious cause for concern. A study published revealed that regular consumption of refined carbohydrates was linked to a two hundred and twenty  percent [ 220 % ]  increase in breast cancer among women.This publication was made in the Cancer Epidemiology, Mile maker and prevention  journal. Also ,  High-glycemic foods in general have  been shown to rapidly increase the  blood sugar levels in the body, which directly feeds cancer cell growth and spread.

*  Refined sugars

Refined sugars  tend to rapidly spike the levels of  insulin  and feed the growth of cancer cells. For example Fructose-rich sweeteners like high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) are particularly offensive, as the  cells of cancer have been shown to quickly and easily metabolize them in order to develop. And since cereals , sauces , juices, sodas , pies, cakes ,pies ,sodas cookies, cakes, pies  and many other popular, mostly processed food , food items are loaded with HFCS and other refined sugars, this helps explain why the  rates of cancer are on the rise these days.

* Conventional Grapes ,  Apples  and other ‘dirty’ fruits

Alot of  people  usually think they are eating healthy whenever  they buy and eat  strawberries grapes and apples from the store. They could be a major cancer risk unless these fruits are organic or are verified to free from pesticide. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that up to Ninety eight [  98 % ] of all conventional produce, and particularly the type found on its “dirty” fruits list, is contaminated with  pesticides that causes cancer.

*  Farmed salmon

According to Dr. David Carpenter, [  Director of the Institute for Health and the Environment at the University of Albany ] ,

Farmed salmon is another high-risk  food that causes Cancer. According to David Carpenter's  assessment, farmed salmon not only lacks vitamin D, but it is often contaminated with antibiotics , pesticides , flame retardants , carcinogenic chemicals and  Polychlorinated Biphenyls [ PCBs ], flame retardants, pesticides, and antibiotics.
