1. Bisphenol A (BPA), is used in the lining of cans and many plastic food containers, is detrimental for your health.
2. Smoked Foods. Nitrates and nitrites are carcinogens that are added to smoked meats to prevent spoilage. When cooked, these compounds turn into nitrosamines and nitrosamides, both of which encourage cancer growth.
3. Farmed fish are fed an unnatural diet filled with pesticides to prevent infections from spreading.
4. Grilled Foods
Heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are two other carcinogens found in grilled meats.
5. Hydrogenated Oils increase your risk of breast cancer. The trans fats found in these oils are linked to heart disease, obesity, and many more health problems.
6. Microwave Popcorn is loaded with tons of chemicals. The bags are lined with cancer-causing chemicals called Perfluoroalkyls, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). PFOA is known to cause tumors in animals and increase the risk of prostate cancer.
7. Anything Not Organic. Pesticides and herbicides are doused all over produce to protect the food from bugs. However, these chemicals are dangerous carcinogens.
8. Refined Sugar. Cancer cells require sugar to grow. Avoid refined sugars and any cancer cells will starve.
9. Sugary Drinks. Massive amounts of refined sugars are found in sodas and sports drinks, they’re also filled with dyes and other chemicals that rob your body of its nutrients.
10. Soy Protein Isolate. The American Dietetic Association has warned consumers that soy protein isolates delays the body from absorbing nutrients, which creates the perfect environment for cancer cells to grow without a fight from your immune system.
11. Refined Grains. You should eat foods the way they come from nature. On top of removing all of the nutrients from whole grains, fungicides, pesticides, and insecticides are all used generously during the production process to prevent spoilage, and all of it winds up in your body when you consume it. Not to mention, in order to preserve its pristine white color, chlorine gas is mixed into the flour.
12. Any Processed Foods like smoked meats and sugars. Avoid anything that comes ready-to-eat unless it has been plucked from the ground. Man-made foods are full of preservatives and unnatural chemicals that the body doesn’t know how to process.
