There are some foods that people who are at high risk for developing cancer should definitely avoid. Generally, says natural health researcher Mike Adams, they should avoid foods that contain ingredients known to cause
cancer, such as refined sugars and grains , hydrogenated oils, and nitrates.
But which foods are the absolute worst?
The top five cancer-causing foods are:
1. Hot dogs
Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention
Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month.
If you can"t live without hot dogs, buy those made without
sodium nitrate.
2. Processed meats and bacon
Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon,
and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease.
The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.
3. Doughnuts
Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made
with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried
at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst
food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.
4. French fries
Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and
then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer-
causing acrylamides which occur during the frying process. They
should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams .
5. Chips, crackers, and cookies
All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones
whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small
amounts of trans-fats.
