My sister, at the age of 35 died of Germ Cell Cancer... She had no hope to survive unless there was a miraculous healing..which can happen.. Nope, 6 months after diagnosis, died.
At the age of 23, several years prior, I was diagnosis with Thyroid Cancer... I am now 60...and Healthy! Why? Lifestyle choices...
The below list is something to pay attention to...it is important for you and the people you love...
As per Natural News..... The truth is that many common food items have been scientifically shown to increase cancer risk, and some of them substantially. Here are 10 of the most unhealthy, cancer-causing foods that you should never eat again:
1) Genetically-modified organisms (GMOs)
It goes without saying that GMOs have no
legitimate place in any cancer-free diet, especially now that both GMOs
and the chemicals used to grow them have been shown to cause rapid
tumor growth. But GMOs are everywhere, including in most food
derivatives made from conventional corn, soybeans, and canola. However,
you can avoid them by sticking with certified organic, certified non-GMO
verified, and locally-grown foods that are produced naturally without
biotechnology.
2) Processed meats
Most processed meat products, including
lunch meats, bacon, sausage, and hot dogs, contain chemical
preservatives that make them appear fresh and appealing, but that can
also cause cancer. Both sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate have been
linked to significantly increasing the risk of colon and other forms of
cancer, so be sure to choose only uncured meat products made without
nitrates, and preferably from grass-fed sources.
3) Microwave popcorn
They might be convenient, but those bags
of microwave popcorn are lined with chemicals that are linked to
causing not only infertility but also liver, testicular, and pancreatic
cancers. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognizes the
perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in microwave popcorn bag linings as
“likely” carcinogenic, and several independent studies have linked the
chemical to causing tumors. Similarly, the diacetyl chemical used in the
popcorn itself is linked to causing both lung damage and cancer.
4) Soda pop
Like processed meats, soda pop has been
shown to cause cancer as well. Loaded with sugar, food chemicals, and
colorings, soda pop acidifies the body and literally feeds cancer cells.
Common soda pop chemicals like caramel color and its derivative
4-methylimidazole (4-MI) have also specifically been linked to causing
cancer.
5) ‘Diet’ foods, beverages
Even worse than conventional
sugar-sweetened soda pop, though, is “diet” soda pop and various other
diet beverages and foods. A recent scientific review issued by the
European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) of more than 20 separate research
studies found that aspartame, one of the most common artificial
sweeteners, causes a range of illnesses including birth defects and
cancer. Sucralose (Splenda), saccharin and various other artificial
sweeteners have also been linked to causing cancer.
Refined flour is a common ingredient in
processed foods, but its excess carbohydrate content is a serious cause
for concern. A study published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Mile
Markers, and Prevention found that regular consumption of refined
carbohydrates was linked to a 220 percent increase in breast cancer
among women. High-glycemic foods in general have also been shown to
rapidly raise blood sugar levels in the body, which directly feeds
cancer cell growth and spread.
7) Refined sugars
The same goes for refined sugars, which
tend to rapidly spike insulin levels and feed the growth of cancer
cells. Fructose-rich sweeteners like high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) are
particularly offensive, as cancer cells have been shown to quickly and
easily metabolize them in order to proliferate. And since cookies,
cakes, pies, sodas, juices, sauces, cereals, and many other popular,
mostly processed, food items are loaded with HFCS and other refined
sugars, this helps explain why cancer rates are on the rise these days.
8) Conventional apples, grapes, and other ‘dirty’ fruits
Many people think they are eating
healthy when they buy apples, grapes, or strawberries from the store.
But unless these fruits are organic or verified to be pesticide-free,
they could be a major cancer risk. The Environmental Working Group (EWG)
found that up to 98 percent of all conventional produce, and
particularly the type found on its “dirty” fruits list, is contaminated
with cancer-causing pesticides.
9) Farmed salmon
Farmed salmon is another high-risk
cancer food, according to Dr. David Carpenter, Director of the Institute
for Health and the Environment at the University of Albany. According
to his assessment, farmed salmon not only lacks vitamin D, but it is
often contaminated with carcinogenic chemicals, PCBs (polychlorinated
biphenyls), flame retardants, pesticides, and antibiotics.
10) Hydrogenated oils
They are commonly used to preserve
processed foods and keep them shelf-stable. But hydrogenated oils alter
the structure and flexibility of cell membranes throughout the body,
which can lead to a host of debilitating diseases such as cancer. Some
manufacturers are phasing out the use of hydrogenated oils and replacing
them with palm oil and other safer alternatives, but trans fats are
still widely used in processed foods.
