6 Cancer Causing Foods You Probably Eat Every Day. by optional1(f): 12:45am On Jun 14, 2016
Almost 1.5 million people have been reported to be diagnosed with cancer in 2015. Most people become aware of the health diet and care about what kinds of food we should eat or avoid. Here we compile 6 food that you eat every day may cause cancer.
1. Canned Tomatoes
Canned foods are lined with the chemical substance called bisphenol-A, or BPA, which has been proved to affect the genes work inside the brain of rats by NAS. Tomatoes are exceptionally high in acidity, which is the cause of absorbing BPA from the lining of the can into tomatoes themselves. Be safe and cook fresh if you like tomatoes.

2. Farmed Salmon
Although fish is a possible healthy food, farmed salmon is one you should avoid. These fish live in very crowded conditions which result in having 30 times the number of sea lice than wild salmon. To look reddish pink, they are even fed chemicals. Also, they contain less omega-3 but high levels of PCB’s, mercury, and cancer-causing dioxins. Try to avoid it and choose canned ones or make sure you are buying wild fish.



3. Processed Meats
When making processed meats like sausages, hot dogs, bacon, excessive salts and chemicals that are used that are harmful to your health. They contain a lot of chemicals including sodium nitrates, which make them look appealing and fresh but are well-known carcinogens



4. Microwave Popcorn
You may not regard it as dangerous, but it does. The microwave popcorn bags are lined with a chemical called perfluorooctanoic acid ( PFOA). Exposure to PFOA will increase your risk kidney, bladder, liver, pancreas and testicular cancers. When making popcorn, manufacturers use soybean oil (a GMO product) and various preservatives like propyl gallate, a chemical that may cause stomach problems and skin rashes.


5. Potato Chips
Potato chips are high in both fat and calories which cause obesity and even high blood pressure. It has been studied that eating just 1 ounce of potato chips per day caused an average 2-pound weight gain. To make it taste great, manufacturers add numerous preservatives. What's more, the high process temperature causes to make a carcinogen called acrylamide.

6. Hydrogenated oils
Hydrogenated oils are vegetable oils that that must be chemically removed from their source and frequently deodorized as well as colored to look appealing. All vegetable oils are high in Omega–6 fatty acids which may cause heart disease and various cancers, especially skin cancer. Try to get Omega 3 every day to keep a good balance by intaking grass fed meats, also fatty fish
