Cancer is the uncontrolled division of cells in the body. Cell growth and cell death inside the human body is an extremely regulated and specifically controlled process. Any disturbance in this balance results in mutations. These mutated cells proliferate without the body’s need for more cells of their type. This results in the formation of tumor cells. These tumor cells prove to be fatal for the body because they can spread to other places as well. Cancer has many causes. It can be hereditary as well as acquired throughout a person’s life. There are certain food items, too that cause mutation in the cells. Here is a list of 15 foods that are cancerous and should be avoided:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#15 Genetically Modified Foods (GMOs)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the\nalarmingly growing rate of population, the food demands have surpassed the food\nsupply greatly. To augment the food supply, biotechnologists have started to\nintroduce genetically modified foods. At this\ntime, a lot of our daily nutrition comes from these agents. However, scientists\nall around the world believe that we were hasty in introducing these agents\ninto our regular diets and that proper testing had not yet been done. These\nfood items are believed to be non-nutritious as well as cancerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#14 Canned Goods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Canned items are processed because they need to be preserved over a long time. Canned goods are often also not organic. Furthermore, the lining of the cans that these foods come in is made of Bisphenol-A. This compound is carcinogenic and has been proved to cause cancer in lab testing. Therefore, to protect yourself, stick to fresh and organic products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#13 Farmed Salmon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fish are\nsupposed to be one of the healthiest meats available, and that is true to the\ncase. However, most of the times, the fish that is coming into the market has\nbeen raised at a farm. Farm raised fishes are extremely toxic because they are\ngiven a diet which is not in accordance with the normal healthy produce that\nfishes eat. Farmed fishes are fatter than normal fishes too that is why they\nabsorb more toxins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#12 Microwave Popcorn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Microwave\npopcorn is one of the top concerns of the people who are studying lung cancer.\nFrom the packaging to the flavoring to the kernels themselves, the entire\npacket of microwave popcorn is a health freak’s worst nightmare. The kernels\nused are probably GMO. Furthermore, the lining of the packet produces carcinogenic fumes that get absorbed by the kernels themselves. The flavoring of butter is artificial, and that produces electrolyte spikes in the body as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#11 White Flour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

White flour\nis treated, and the wheat is stripped of its nutritional values completely.\nFurthermore, it is treated with chlorine to make the grains look more appealing\nto the consumers. The white flour thus produced, is nothing short of toxic\nbecause it has no nutrition at all. It also spikes your insulin levels, and\nprolonged use of white flour can cause insulin resistance and thus diabetes.\nFurthermore, the refined carbohydrates also cause cellular mutations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#10 Frozen Pizza<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This food\nitem is extremely famous especially amongst the students. It is ready in\nminutes. Just pop it in the oven and wait until the cheese melts and the dough\nturns golden brown. The thing is, everything on the frozen pizza \u2013 from the\ndough to the toppings, is processed. Therefore, it has no nutritional value. Furthermore,\nthese foods are treated so that they can last for a long time, therefore are\none of the major causes of mutation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#9 Canned Tomatoes and Tomato Sauce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These items\nalso contain a lining of Bisphenol-A. The compound is not only carcinogenic but\nalso causes mutations in the brain cells and can cause brain hemorrhage as\nwell. Furthermore, the canned tomatoes are mostly GMOs, are therefore extremely\ntoxic, and cause mutations. To avoid this, it is better to stick to fresh farm tomatoes and to make your sauce at home rather than getting canned sauces from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#8 Artificial Sweeteners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Diabetic\npatients use artificial sweeteners throughout the world. Furthermore, they have\nbeen duped as an agent that can cause weight loss; however, the use of such\nagents not only increases the weight but also causes other adverse effects as\nwell. The artificial sweeteners like aspartame are known carcinogens and cause\ncancer. Furthermore, they have a deleterious effect on the reproductive system\nas well as on the skin and hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#7 Deli Meats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These are\nprocessed meats. They have extremely high sodium content which not only\nincreases the blood pressure but also disturbs the electrolyte balance of the\nbody. Furthermore,\nit disturbs the filtration process of the kidney and causes renal cancer. Renal\ncancer is the cancer of the kidney, and prolonged treatment is required. There\nare well-known carcinogens that are packed into deli meats along with a lot of\npreservatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#6 Grilled Red Meat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Grilling\nmeat is a famous method to cook meat because the meat stays succulent. However,\nstudies have shown that grilling meat produces a certain carcinogenic toxin.\nThis carcinogen is called heterocyclic aromatic amines. This is\nspecially released in abundance during grilling sausages. Furthermore, the\nmolecular structure of the meat is disturbed when grilled. It is better to bake\nor cook on a stove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#5 Potato Chips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although\nthese treats are used abundantly by adults and children worldwide, potato chips\nshould be avoided. They are harmful in many respects. They not only harm oral\nhealth but also cause obesity as they are made of processed potatoes.\nFurthermore, the oil used in the making of these chips is hydrogenated and is\ntherefore carcinogenic and produces tumors in the human body. Instead of potato\nchips, choose a healthier snack to satisfy your cravings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#4 Pickles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pickles\nalso contain high sodium content and are preserved foods. All of the pickled\nfoods release a carcinogenic compound. This carcinogenic compound arises from\nnitrates which are put into the pickles to prolong and improve their shelf life\nand to keep them from spoiling. When these foods are kept for some time, or\ngrilled \u2013 these nitrates convert into more poisonous nitrites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#3 Refined Sugars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Refined\nwhite sugars are cancer’s preferred proliferating ground. These sugars are\ntreated so that all of their nutritional values are removed. Furthermore, their\nnutrition and natural sweetness are ruined by the use of bleaching agents when\nsugar is discolored, and molasses are removed. The refined sugar also produces\ncarcinogens and causes cancer because it has a high concentration of\nfructose-derived corn syrup which is carcinogenic and is extremely harmful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#2 Alcohol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alcohol has\nmany derogatory effects on the human body. It damages oral health as well as\nliver functioning. It causes cancers that range from oral cancer to liver\ncancer. The carcinogens present in alcohol and the carcinogens present in\ncigarettes have many common ones. Alcohol goes into our bloodstream and can\ncause damage throughout the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1 \u201cDiet\u201d Everything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Diet\nconscious people all around the world order things with the label of\n“diet.” Everything in diet products is processed, and their\nnutritional content is diminished. Furthermore, there are GMOs present in the\ndiet food especially in the diet coke and soft drinks. Everything nutritious is\nwashed out of the food, and they are loaded with preservatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
