Continuing from Part 1, here are more foods you may want to limit or avoid to reduce your cancer risk.
4. Microwave Popcorn
Bag linings often contain PFOA and PFOS. When heated, these chemicals “leach into the popcorn” and have been linked to tumors and increased prostate cancer risks.
5. Hydrogenated Oils and Refined Sugar
Trans fats in hydrogenated oils can “promote immune system over-activity and inflammation,” raising the risk of heart disease and cancer. Cancer cells also feed on sugar, and high intake increases risks for obesity and immune suppression.
6. Non-Organic Produce & Sugary Drinks
Pesticides on non-organic fruits and vegetables are tied to cancer. Sodas and sports drinks contain sugar, dyes, and chemicals like aspartame, which is linked to cancer in some studies.
