CANCER is a disease that can affect anyone, from children, adults to the elderly. Cancer is also a health problem that is suffered by many humans today. Everyone has cancer cells in their bodies that are not detected by standard tests until they have multiplied and are numerous. These cancer cells can be suppressed in low levels and even die so that they do not develop into disease by our immune system. So good immunity is fundamental to be able to fight these cancer cells.
Basically, the exact cause of cancer is unknown. Other influencing factors include environmental exposure such as radiation and ultraviolet rays, prolonged exposure to certain chemicals, viral infections, lifestyle and diet, obesity and genetic influences.
Most of us may unconsciously eat certain foods that cancer cells like, so that they are more at risk of developing cancer. Indirectly, this means that a food creates a condition that affects metabolism so that it triggers the growth of cancer cells. But, also the response arising from food will be different for each individual. Here are foods that have the potential to cause cancer in our bodies:
• Farm-raised salmon, salmon grown in specialty farms is usually a food full of chemicals, antibiotics, pesticides and carcinogens that have a higher risk of triggering cancer compared to wild caught salmon.
• Processed meats, such as ham, turkey, meat, sausages, hot dogs, nuggets, etc. are loaded with chemical preservatives to keep them fresh. This preservative can cause cancer in the human body. Such as sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite in processed meat which can increase colon cancer.
• Cooking oil, if used repeatedly or hydrogenated will change the structure of the cell membrane and contain trans fats which are harmful to the body. If consumed in the human body it can cause cancer. Excess consumption of fatty and oily foods can suppress the immune system and aggravate cancer metastasis.
• Soft drinks are also one of the causes of cancer, because they are loaded with sugar, artificial sweeteners, food chemicals, and dyes, all of which can acidify the body and promote the growth of cancer cells.
• Fruit and vegetables with pesticides.
• Red meat, WHO says that excessive consumption of red meat will trigger free radicals that cause the growth of cancer cells in the body, especially colon cancer (colorectal).
• Refined flour, flour is a food ingredient that is widely processed into various forms of food that we consume daily such as bread, noodles, etc. Many chemicals are used in its purification. In a study published in the Journal of Cancer Epidemiology said "regular consumption of refined carbohydrates causes a 220% greater risk of breast cancer in women."
• Artificial sweeteners, widely used in various processed and instant foods or drinks to replace sugar. Aspartame, a chemical in sweeteners, can cause seizures in some people. These chemicals when broken down in the body turn into deadly toxins that cause tumors.
There are still many food drinks that have the potential to cause cancer such as french fries, potato chips, canned tomato sauce, canned sardines, popcorn, alcohol, etc. So from now on to be wise in choosing and consuming food in reasonable amounts, because health is a valuable asset in this life.
Wow, Sadly I've been so used to many of the food items you listed here, although I've been having plans to improve my diet but this post just had an impact on my decision. I'm making the change and switching to healthier and more nutritious foods right now. Thank you so much for sharing. This was very educative.♥️
Sometimes we dont know about the foods that consume. I think if it is within reasonable limits it will not have a significant effect. Thank you very much for your opinion. Have your nice weekend 😊
Great article witch... we made the food poisonous...our practices...here hot gravies are parcelled in plastic covers... one of the most reason for that disease in our country...apart from the told foods by you, the government is trying to avoid it...but unfortunately, the small hotels are concerned about the tiny profit and doing the same thing... I know how horrible is that disease... Respect witch.🤗
