5 Foods That Cause Cancer You Probably Eat All the Time.

Going to the supermarket has become a difficult thing to do; as you always need to be informed which new chemicals may be a hazard to your health. However, some people still choose to buy whatever package they like the most. This is the main reason why we have decided to educate you on cancer causing foods today.

1 – Microwave Popcorn:

Of course, it’s really easy to put a bag of popcorn in the microwave, wait a few minutes – and your snack is prepared. However, the next time you are about to even buy a bag of microwave popcorn, you should think twice about it. First thing you should know is that the bag itself contains a chemical known as perfluorooctanoic acid, which is listed as a popular carcinogen chemical (it is also found in Teflon). The contents of the bag are no better, as they contain a preservative called propyl gallate, which is a chemical known to cause skin rashes and stomach problems.


2 – Canned Tomatoes:

he main problem with canned tomatoes (much like with most canned foods) is that the lining of these cans contains a chemical known as Bisphenol A (BPA). This cancerous chemical was also the subject of a large study published in May of last year, in which it was concluded that BPA affects the genes inside of brains of rats. Canned tomatoes are especially dangerous for your health as tomatoes’ high acidity causes BPA to enter the contents of these vegetables. Be aware that some companies don’t even label that their product contains BPA.

3 – Highly Processed White Flours:

If you have ever been on a diet, you have most likely read or have been told to avoid white flour. However, you should avoid this ingredient at all times! The main thing you should know is that when grains are being refined, they lose all of their natural nutrients. Nowadays, white flour is especially dangerous as it is literally bleached with a chemical known as chlorine gas. Be aware, this chemical can be lethal in large quantities! Apart from it being cancerous, white flour will also raise your blood sugar and insulin levels.


4- Artificial Sweeteners:

Unfortunately, many people choose to consume artificial sweeteners, either because they want to lose weight or because they mustn’t consume sugar because of diabetes. However, a lot of studies have shown that these sweeteners will actually worsen your health. First of all, artificial sweeteners will make your body crave more and more sweets. Secondly, the chemicals that are found in these sweeteners can cause cancer and brain tumors when consumed by some individuals. We all know how hard it is to avoid sweet foods, but sometimes you should take a second to realize how serious this matter is.


5 – Alcohol:

Although most people choose to ignore this fact, you should know that alcohol is the second leading cause of cancer. The thing is that moderate drinking isn’t that bad for you, but most people (especially young people), drink excessively. When you drink a lot, cancer won’t be your only problem, as you might also experience various heart and liver problems.
