Top Five Cancer Causing Foods



Many of us love eating french fries but what they don't realized is that they are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries. I think the best alternative is to chop up some tomatoes and make your own potato fries, its healthier.
Pocessed meats and bacon are high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer. I am a little bit guilty about this because I buy hamburger at a fast food chain once in a while but I think not consuming too much of it is an excemption lol..
Because HOTDOGS 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. This is why I seldom offer hotdogs to my kids.

Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer. But hey, what can I say, I was born with a sweet tongue so I can resist not to eat donut. The best thing to do is to moderate its consumption.

Chips, crackers and cookies 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. Everyone love eating chips right especially when you are watching televesion but there is a good alternative to this, again chopped up potatoes and make your own potato chips.. Its better!
