Never eat these foods if you want to protect yourself from cancer.
Unfortunately, no means have yet been found that would guarantee one hundred percent protection against cancer and maximum prevention of this disease — but there are already known factors that are guaranteed to increase the risk of its development. And, unfortunately, in many cases such a "trigger" turns out to be products that we regularly eat ourselves and give to our loved ones. We found out which foods oncologists never eat — and we suggest that you, too, banish them from your kitchen and from your plates forever!
Processed meat
Not so long ago, specialists of the World Health Organization officially classified sausages, sausages and other processed meat products as carcinogens. As emphasized in a report recently published by the WHO, just 50 grams of processed meat every day increases the risk of bowel cancer by 18%. Moreover, these products become harmful primarily because of substances that extend the shelf life of meat and which, entering the body, make it more vulnerable to dangerous diseases.
Popcorn
Popcorn cooked in a microwave oven can be the most dangerous for your health: the fact is that when cooking it, synthetic oils are often used, the vapors of which contain the dangerous compound diazite, which increases the risk of lung cancer. It is diazite that gives popcorn its seductive aroma — and, unfortunately, makes this product very dangerous.
Salmon
Salmon grown on special farms is, of course, more affordable than "wild" - but also much more dangerous for our health. On average, "farmed" salmon contains 16 times more polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) — toxic substances that increase the risk of developing dangerous tumors. Salmon is a very healthy fish, but before you buy it, ask about its origin!
Meat on coals
The high temperature required to cook steaks, barbecue, or other grilling dishes produces aromatic heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons—carcinogens that put your health at risk. However, this does not mean that you need to give up barbecue forever - but at least do not eat those parts of it that have darkened during the cooking process.
Artificial sweeteners
Strictly speaking, any sugar substitutes and sweeteners should be thrown away right now, and in the future, you should carefully monitor that this cabbage does not cross the threshold of your house again. They break our metabolism, increase the risk of heart attack, finally, some of them are really carcinogenic. However, there is another problem: excessive use of ordinary sugar can also lead to accelerated reproduction of cancer cells. Therefore, you should learn to eat less sweets.
Alcohol
Cancer of the brain, larynx, esophagus, liver, breast and colon — do you know what these manifestations of a terrible disease have in common? Their development can be provoked by the regular use of alcohol - proven by research, unfortunately. If you are not ready to completely give up alcohol, it may be worth reducing the amount or frequency of drinking - for the sake of your own health.
Trans fats
Trans fats are created when manufacturers convert liquid oils into solid fats through hydrogenation. This is done in order to increase the shelf life of the product and stabilize its taste, and is widely used in the production of such products as margarine, crackers, cereals, candies, bakery products, cookies, granola, chips, snacks, salad dressings, fats. And if you value your life and health, you should say a firm "no" to any products that contain trans fats.
