How much have you researched about cancer causing foods? Did you know the American Cancer Society now reports the You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.? Those staggering numbers indicate a growing epidemic in the U.S., but it isn’t time to throw in the towel. In their You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now., The American Association for Cancer Research stated that:
“it is estimated that more than 50 percent of the 585,720 cancer deaths expected to occur in the United States in 2014 will be related to preventable causes.”
With over half of cancers being avoidable, it seems that we need to take a closer look at what we are subjecting out bodies to that might be at the root of the cancer epidemic. We’ve already discussed how to reduce your ****** cancer risk by doing an armpit cleanse, but one of the greatest exposures to cancer is in what we eat. Cancer causing foods are likely in your everyday diet and you didn’t even realize it. We recommend you You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

You can avoid hydrogenated oil but instead choosing coconut, palm, or olive oil. Organic butter is a better option as well.
2. French Fries/Potato Chips
We know that these foods aren’t good for us, but did you realize that they’re considered cancer causing foods? These fast food staples are fried in hydrogenated vegetable oil and then heavily salted. We’ve already discussed the dangers of hydrogenated oils, but the high salt content is also concerning. It increases the risk of high blood pressure as well as other health problems. In addition, foods heated above a certain temperature have high levels of acrylamide. According to the National Cancer Institute, You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

Potatoes are also part of the Environmental Working Group’s “Dirty Dozen”, meaning they have some of the heaviest pesticide residue of all the fruits and vegetables.

Opt for the wild version instead to get the benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids that salmon provides, without contaminants.
7. Refined Sugar/Soda
Refined sugar is a danger because not only is it typically GMO because it’s genetically modified sugar beets, but it rapidly spikes insulin levels.

9. Refined White Flour
Bleached food doesn’t sound like a good thing, because it isn’t. Traces of the chemicals remain in the food.

Not enough independent studies have been done to prove safety or danger, but independent testing has You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.
