Diets and Cancer - How Food Companies Poison Our Bodies With Toxins
By Nat Williams
Cancers don't come out of nowhere. Cancers develop if you follow an unhealthy diet full of cancer causing food over an extended period of time. Certain food contains a lot of cancer promoting substances called carcinogens. In this article, we will discover the 3 common types of carcinogens most people are exposed to on a daily basis, what types of food we should and should not eat to prevent cancer.
Acrylamide and Food: What It Means For You
Acrylamide has been used in industrial processes like the manufacturing of food packaging, creation of plastic and treatment of contaminated water for a long time. Unknown to most of us, scientists recently discoverd that acrylamide can be created during high temperature cooking methods like frying, microwaving, baking and roasting. Even though acrylamide has been confirmed to cause cancer in animals, scientists have not found compelling evidence that is causes cancer in humans even though it is harmful to our bodies. French fries top the charts of food that contain the greatest levels of acrylamide, followed by certain brands of potato chips, breakfast cereals, cookies, brewed coffee and toast bread according to the US FDA/CFSAN 2006 Exposure Assessment for Acrylamide.
Sodium Nitrate: Why It Is Bad For Your Health
Sodium nitrate is a standard preservative of processed meat. It is used to preserve the reddish color of meat to make it look more appetizing to eat at the neglection of your health. Sodium nitrate on it's own is pretty harmless but it changes into a carcinogenic substance called nitrosamine during the digestion process, thus promoting the development of cancer cells. Sodium nitrate can be found in processed meat like bologna, hot dogs, pepperoni, ham, lunch meat and bacon.
Trans Fat 101: What Is It And Why It Is Unhealthy
Trans fat or trans-fatty acids (TFAs) are the most unhealthy kind of fat you can consume. The problem with trans fat is because it was transformed from it's vegetable oil form to a semi-solid state through the use of hydrogen. Vegetable oil companies do this to save money, to improve flavor stability and to extend the shelf life of their products. Due to it's processed nature, it is considered unnatural in our bodies and it is very tough to digest, therefore it easily clogs our arteries if we don't exercise often. What's worse, trans fat promotes the development of bad cholesterol and reduces the levels of good cholesterol, increasing your risk of heart disease. Trans fat is generally found in pastries, commercially deep-fried food, partially hydrogenated oils, hydrogenated oils and food with vegetable shortening.
Foods and Cancer: What To Eat And What To Avoid
If we eliminate or severely restrict our of the 3 carcinogens above and other toxins like alcohol, salt, cigarettes and sugar, we should be able to avoid cancer and a whole lot of other major diseases. However, it is not easy for people to choose to have a healthy body over the enjoyment of good food. The choice is up to you to decide which is more important to you. At the minimum, consume as much organic vegetables, fruit and meat as you can. Having a diet made of antioxidants, nutrients and fiber from raw vegetables and fruit should help you steer clear from cancer. A simple rule you can follow is to simply eat the things nature created for us to eat and avoid anything manufactured by man.
