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 and 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 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 acrylamides
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.
