The major cancer causing foods that you should not eat again

There are many common foods that have been scientifically shown to increase cancer risk and some of them substantially. But are aware of those foods? The below are the cancer-causing foods that you should never eat again.

      Processed meats: 

      

      Most processed meats including lunch meats, sausage, bacon and hot dogs contain chemical preservatives that make them appear fresh and appealing but that can also cause cancer. The sodium nitrate has been linked to significantly increasing the risk of colon and other forms of cancers. Hence, be sure to choose only uncured meat products made without nitrates and preferably from grass-fed sources.

      Microwave popcorn: 

     

     They might be convenient but those bags of microwave popcorn are lined with chemicals that are linked to causing not only infertility but also liver, pancreatic cancer and testicular. The diacetyl chemical used in the popcorn itself is linked to causing both lung damage and cancer.

        Soda pop

        Like processed meats, soda pop has been shown to cause cancer as well. Loaded with sugar, colorings and chemicals, soda pop acidifies the body and literally feeds cancer cells. Common soda pop chemicals like caramel colour and its derivative 4-methylimidazole have also specifically been linked to causing cancer.

      Diet foods and beverages

      Conventional sugar-sweetened soda pop and various other diet beverages and foods are very dangerous in causing cancer.  A separate research studies found that aspartame, one of the most common artificial sweeteners, causes a range of illness including birth defects and cancer. Sucralose (Splenda), saccharin and various other artificial sweeteners have also been linked to causing cancer.

        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 that 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.

        Hydrogenated Oils

        They are commonly used to preserve processed foods and keep them shelf-stable. But hydrogenated oils alter the structure and flexibility of cell membranes throughout the body which can lead to a host of debilitating diseases such as cancer.
