Every day there is more and more new evidence that a particular product can cause cancer,
but soon the information is refuted.
Oncologists share reliable facts about what kind of food should still be excluded from your diet
so as not to increase the risk of developing the disease.
Processed meat
Processed meat products are as dangerous as smoking or asbestos
when it comes to the likelihood of developing cancer.
Oncologists do not recommend eating sausage, bacon, sausages or ham,
because these products increase the likelihood of a tumor in the intestines.
By eating just fifty grams of processed meat a day, which is two pieces of ham,
you can increase your risk of bowel cancer by eighteen percent.
The problem is not only in the meat itself, but also in the methods of its preparation -
in smoking, the use of salt, preservatives.
Salt nitrites combine with certain amino acids in meat and cause danger to the body.
That is why it is worth abandoning smoked products.
Remember that smoked fish is not as harmful as smoked meat.
It can be included in your diet a little more often and not be afraid
of the occurrence of a cancerous tumor.

Microwave popcorn
In popcorn for cooking in the microwave a lot of artificial oil,
the vapors of which contain toxic substances that can cause lung cancer.
In addition to the harmful diacetyl contained in oil, in popcorn, namely in the package
in which it is necessary to cook it, there is perfluorooctanoic acid, which has a carcinogenic effect.
Give up this product so as not to put your health at risk.
It is much better to cook popcorn in a frying pan and add oil or other ingredients yourself.
Salmon from the farm
Farm-raised salmon is more affordable than wild fish, yet the farm product is high in carcinogenic substances.
For example, farmed salmon has sixteen times more polychlorinated biphenyl
than wild salmon, and four times more than beef, and many seafood.
Choose quality fish and bake it with heart-healthy olive oil.
Salmon has a lot of useful omega-3 fatty acids, the use of this fish even helps to control body weight.
Just do not forget that the fish should always be wild - then you are not in danger.
Charred meat
Excessively high temperature, used in the roasting process, causes the formation of carcinogenic substances in the meat.
Some experts recommend not eating meat at all, basing the diet on vegetable protein and fish, because even in unprocessed form, this product is dangerous.
Nevertheless, in small quantities, meat is still permissible - the main thing is not to fry it on the grill until dark stripes are formed in order to minimize the amount of dangerous substances.
In this case, the danger to your body will not be so serious.
Artificial sweeteners
Oncologists recommend completely abandoning artificial sweeteners because they are a potential source of cancer risk.
Be careful when choosing an alternative to sugar – you can use stevia, a plant-based sweetener, but not chemical substitutes.
The latter are potentially toxic, for a detailed study of their harm requires additional time.
It is not known what will be established about them over the next ten years
however, it is better to take care of yourself now and not use such substances.
Excessive amounts of alcohol
Doctors recommend abstaining from alcohol altogether, because the link between alcohol and cancer risk is quite strong.
Alcohol causes cancer of the brain, esophagus, liver, breast, intestines.
Numerous studies have shown a link between alcohol consumption and the risk of developing many other types of tumors.
If you do not plan to completely eliminate alcohol from your life, try to simply reduce its amount.
This will allow you to reduce the danger somewhat. In addition, consider what you drink.
Red wine can even be useful, but sweet alcoholic cocktails are completely inappropriate in the diet.
Trans fats
Trans fats are formed in production when liquid oil is converted into solid fat.
These substances extend the shelf life and provide the product with a stable taste.
Trans fats are present in a wide variety of foods, including margarine, crackers, breakfast cereals, candy, pastries, cookies, cereal bars, chips, salad dressings and many other products.
Try to give up such food and never eat trans fats.
These substances are directly related to the rapidly growing number of people suffering from obesity.
Many countries are gradually beginning to ban the use of trans fats in production,
however, they are still found in a wide variety of products, so read the labels carefully.
Bagels
Such pastries can be quite tasty, however, it is a source of carbohydrates that cause a rapid increase in blood sugar.
Eating foods with a high glycemic index can potentially cause an increased risk of lung cancer.
These products include white wheat bread, bagels, cornflakes and airy rice.
Choose foods with a low glycemic index, such as brown rice, whole grain bread, and oatmeal.
