As per experts, the main cause behind the spike in cases of cancer is our daily lifestyle and food habits. From packaged food to adulterated fresh produce, they altogether create a disbalance in the body and leads to various health issues. In this video, we will about food items that directly expose you to cancer and should be avoided.
1. Microwave popcorn.
Do you know that the microwave bag in which you prepare popcorn is lined with a product called PFOA, which is proven to be the reason behind cancer of pancreas, kidney, liver and bladder. When you cook corn in the bag, PFOA coats the corns along with the artificial trans fat present in butter.
2. Potato chips.
They are rich in salt and saturated fat, which is not good for human body. They are also rich in acrylamide, a carcinogenic chemical that occurs in food that are cooked at a high temperature and increases the risk of cancer. This chemical is also found in cigarettes, which makes it dangerous too.
3. Smoked and processed meat.
Smoked and processed meat use a lot of nitrates and nitrites, which are linked to cancer. They are also rich in high fat content, which is considered bad for your heart and digestive system too. According to Cancer Council, to reduce the risk of cancer, one should not eat more than 1 serving of lean red meat per day or 2 serving 3-4 times per week. Red meat includes beef, lamb and pork.
4. Soda.
We all know that soda is bad for health and it becomes a killer when consumed in excess amount. It has excess amount of sugar that multiples cancer cells and increases the risk. It also has no redeeming nutritional value and puts you at greater risk due to presence of artificial chemicals and colorings that are added.
5. Canned food.
When it comes to canned food, cans are dangerous for you. It has been proven that they are lined with dangerous chemical BPA, which is a known hormone disrupter that is directly linked to cancer. This BPA slowly leeches into the food and becomes the key reason for cancer.
6. Pickled Food.
While some experts find pickling a healthy process, health experts consider is another form of toxicating the food. It has been found that pickling increases nitrates, salt, and artificial coloring content in food and is directly linked to digestive tract cancer that affects stomach and colon. If you love pickle a lot, it is suggested to prepare them at home to stay safe.
