Good Lifestyle

We have been hailed since our childhood: having a healthy and balanced diet is essential! And rightly, because some products in our daily diet are dangerous for our health.

Apparently harmless and generally adored by most, excessive consumption of these 9 types of food promotes the risk of developing certain cancers: liver, stomach, prostate cancers, or even pharynx ... the risks are considerable, regardless of your gender, age or physical condition.

We help you see more clearly with this top 9 most carcinogenic foods.

Sodas

Who has never drank Coca-Cola, Orangina, Fanta or Ice Tea? Very few people probably. Favorite teens drinks, sodas are full of sugar, dyes and chemicals. A winning combo to increase insulin level in your body and promote the appearance of pancreatic cancer. You will never find better than water to quench your thirst while preserving your health!

Salt

Excessive salt consumption can cause problems with water retention and high blood pressure. But that does not stop there: according to studies, too salty a diet promotes the development of certain cancers, especially those affecting the digestive tract such as stomach cancer or that of the pancreas.

The alcohol

Advertisements are true: alcohol is to be consumed in moderation. And it's not just a story of danger on the road. Indeed, when we consume alcohol, our body transforms it into acetaldehyde, a molecule that increases the risks of developing cancer, including liver cirrhosis or pharynx cancer. Alcohol is also very aggressive with our mucous membranes and generates localized tumors.

Fried fries

Ban the food from your diet from frying. Chips, nuggets, fries, spring rolls ... They all increase the risk of developing different cancers, including stomach and kidney. The cause ? The carbohydrates contained in starchy foods release a carcinogenic compound at the very moment when they are immersed in oil to be fried.

Transformed meats

The transformed meats such as cold meats and sausages are full of nitrite and sodium nitrate, both known to promote the risks of developing colon cancer. More and more manufacturers are removed from their recipes and mention it on their packaging, so be careful.

The popcorn

As surprising as it may seem, popcorn is also dangerous for your health. It is not its composition that is incriminated but that of its packaging. This is at least the case for popcorn to heat in the microwave. Indeed, the lining of the packaging contains perfluorooctanoic acid, a chemical recognized as carcinogen by several organisms.

Barbecue -based meats

We usually wait for summer to make the first barbecue of the year! And yet, high temperature meat in contact with flames is the perfect equation to give birth to carcinogenic substances that can potentially give birth to prostate, colon, breast and pancreas cancers.

Red meat

Excessive consumption of red meat, namely beef, horse and lamb, can increase the risk of developing colon and rectum cancers due to the large amount of saturated animal fats. It is recommended to eat red meat only twice a week.

Hydrogenated oils

Hydrogenated oils are present in the composition of most processed products, to better keep them. Only, these hydrogenated oils can cause many cancers. More and more manufacturers are replacing them with other less damaging alternatives, but vigilance remains in order.
