10 C.a.n.c.e.r-Linked Foods You Should Never Put in Your Mouth Again

This article discusses changes you can make to your daily dietary habits that will not only enhance your health but will also provide you with knowledge of some potentially carcinogenic foods to avoid as part of your can:cer prevention efforts.

1. BPA Lined Cans

The ingredient found in hard plastics and resins is used to cover metal cans. Unless a canned item is labeled as BPA-free, it is likely to contain bisphenol-A (BPA). BPA can also be found in several plastics and dental composites.

2. Cured and Smoked Foods

Nitrates and nitrites work as preservatives, preventing food from deteriorating and adding color to meats. When cooked, nitrites and nitrates are converted into byproducts known as N-nitroso compounds, which include nitrosamines and nitrosamides.

N-nitroso compounds are linked to an increased risk of can:cer. Avoid processed meats such as bacon, sausages, hot dogs, pepperoni, prosciutto, beef jerky, and salami.

3. Farmed Fish

According to Food and Water Watch, farmed fish have higher amounts of chemical contaminants than wild fish, including PCBs, which are proven carcinogens.
