Top 10 Cancer Causing Foods to Cut Your Cancer Risk in Partial
People who adopt the right health and wellness habits can
reduce their risk of ever getting cancer by over fifty percent. That's a pretty
staggering statistic.Obviously, eating the right foods and getting enough
exercise is not a guarantee that people will remain cancer-free throughout
their entire lives, despite the importance of having such a healthy routine.
The health of your digestive system and the proper balance of your gut's microbiome (the beneficial bacteria living within your gut) directly effects your immune system and the overall health of your body. When your intestinal tract isn't performing well, it can become a breeding ground for disease and deadly cancers.
This is why it is important to try to reduce the risk of certain types of cancers through consuming the right foods, making the best nutritional choices, and reading food labels in order to double-check for risky ingredients. Many of the most common and deadly types of cancers relate to the gastrointestinal system. It isn't surprising that people can modify their risk of getting these sorts of cancers with their food choices.
1.Genetically Modified Foods (GMOs):
The rapidly growing
industry of genetically
modified crops are infiltrating our food supply at an alarming rate.
More than 90% of our corn and soy are now genetically modified. This fairly new
practice is the source of many debates. Experts agree that adequate testing was
not done before GMO foods were added to the ingredient listing of thousands of
products. In other words, no one – including the growers and manufacturers of
GMO foods – knows the long-term effect they will have on human health. Look for
GMO-free labels whenever possible or buy organic (which always means a
product is not genetically modified).
2. Hydrogenated Oils:
People have probably heard about the risk of hydrogenated
oils by now, and it's difficult to understate just how unhealthy they really
are.
The body uses fats in the repair of cellular membranes, so
the dietary fat that people can consume will shape cellular membranes.
Hydrogenated oils are unnatural and can change the shape of
cellular membranes entirely as a result. Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of
abnormal cells, and hydrogenated oils almost create abnormal cells by design.
Avoid it.
3. Refined Sugar:
The biggest cancer causing food (by far)
is high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and other refined sugars. Even brown sugar
is highly refined white sugar with some of the removed molasses added back in
for flavor and color. Refined sugars (and foods made with them) are the source
of major insulin spikes and feed the growth of cancer cells. Since the majority
of the sugar supply in the U.S. is made using genetically modified (GMO) sugar
beets, a healthier option is organic honey, coconut sugar, or maple sugar. Now
that oncologists are using diabetes medication to fight cancer cells, there’s
no doubt (finally) that those mutated cancer cells
love sugar.
4. Farmed Fish:
People are told to eat more fish all the time these days for
the omega-3 fatty acids. As a result, it might seem frustrating to be told that
farmed fish is not really any healthier than red meat if people take into
account the entire cost and benefit analysis.
When so many fish are placed into such a small space,
controlling the spread of disease outbreaks becomes crucial. However, farmers
will do this in a way that involves toxic chemicals, endangering human
consumers. The mercury content
of salmon only makes things worse. In general, limit
exposure to farmed fish.
5. White Flour:
When flour is refined, all nutritional value is removed.
Then it’s bleached with chlorine gas to make it more appealing to consumers.
The glycemic index for white flour is very high – meaning it spikes your
insulin levels without providing nutritional fuel. Carbohydrates are converted
to sugars by your body, so excessive products that contain white flour can lead
to increased insulin resistance. Simple sugars (like refined carbohydrates) are
the preferred fuel source for cancer.
6. Salted, Pickled, and Smoked Foods:
These products typically contain preservatives, such as
nitrates, which are intended to prolong shelf life. The additives used in
processed foods can accumulate in your body over time. Eventually, such toxins
cause damage at the cellular level and lead to diseases like cancer. When
smoked foods are cooked at high temperatures, the nitrates are converted to the
much more dangerous nitrites. (Note: By pickled foods we don’t mean the
fermented foods you make at home.)
7. Red Meat:
People can still eat red meat sometimes. However, even
eating small amounts of red meat every day is a huge problem from the
perspective of cancer development. Factory farmed red meat is particularly bad,
since disease outbreaks among cows are controlled through carcinogenic chemicals.
You want to avoid this at all costs.
8. Soda:
People know that soda is no health food by now. Between the
chemical dyes and high-fructose corn syrup, soda is one of the worst food
products for human health.
9. Alcohol :
People can safely drink a single glass of wine per day.
However, people who drink much more than that are automatically going to raise
their risk of cancer, as studies have shown. Alcohol actually ranks just
behind tobacco as a substance highly correlated with the development of cancer.
It's critical to drink in moderation.
10. Artificial Sweeteners :
People who think that they'll be able to avoid all of the
problems associated with soda by switching to diet soda are entirely
wrong. Artificial sweeteners, particularly aspartame, are extremely dangerous
and carcinogenic. Aspartame itself might be metabolized as the toxin DKP. Most
diet foods are problematic for this reason.
