The top five cancer-causing foods












1. Hot Dogs
Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.










2. Processed Meats & Bacon

Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.












3.Doughnuts
Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.


4.French fries
Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process.










5. Chips, crackers, and cookies

All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.

Hi,
I've been visiting your blog lately. Your blog certainly provides some interesting health information.

I wanted to share some information with you on apples.Apples, for ages, have known to be a healthy for our body.But a new research by German researchers Dr. Dieter Schrenk, M.D. and his colleagues has demonstrated that components in both apple pectin and apple juice actually enhance biological mechanisms that have anticarcinogenic effects in the colon.

Our company represents Washington Apple Commission in India. We do not sell or import these apples. Our mandate is only to make consumers aware of the nutrition benefits of apples.
We'd like to send you the information along with some Washington apples for you to enjoy.We would appreciate your feedback on the same.
