You've been eating cancer causing foods unknowingly



Processed Meat

Meat that has been preserved by curing, smoking, salting, or containing chemical preservatives, increase the risk of cancer in the colon. Most of these meats are manufactured using an ingredient called sodium nitrite, a carcinogen that makes packaged meats bright red in color to make them look fresh. Another study found that eating processed meats also increases one’s risk of cancer in the pancreas. The World Cancer Research Fund recommends that consumers avoid eating all types of processed meats such as sausage, bacon, hot dogs, packaged ham, sandwich meat, salami, pepperoni, and all red meats used in frozen foods and other prepared meals.

Microwave Pop corn

Bags of microwave popcorn contain carcinogenic chemicals called perfluorooctanoic acid or PFOA, which can cause infertility and cancer of the liver, testes, and pancreas. Microwaving causes these chemicals vaporize and mix with your popcorn. So it’s best to make popcorn by using the old-fashioned method.


Potato Chips

Aside from trans fats, potato chips and other junk foods contain carbohydrates, salt, preservatives, and artificial flavors and colors. Cooking in high temperatures causes the formation of carcinogens like acrylamide, which is linked to many cases of cancer among Americans. Although there are potato chips with reduced trans fats, they may also contain acrylamide.

Soda Drinks

Soft drinks are loaded with sugar, artificial ingredients, and calories, with no nutritional benefits. One can of soda contains sugar with the equivalent of ten packets.
Consuming sugared sodas results in increasing tooth sensitivity and cavities in spite of good oral hygiene. Besides, it can also cause obesity and studies show people who drink soft drinks twice a week double their risk of developing pancreatic cancer.
Farmed Fish
Farmed salmon contains less vitamin D than wild salmon, and they are also higher in various contaminants, such as antibiotics, PCBs, pesticides, flame retardants, and carcinogens. In addition, farmed fish were also found with high-level antibiotics. Only by eating these fish every 5 months can you be safe from increased cancer risks.
 Contaminated Fruits
Apples have been found to be highly contaminated with pesticides. Other contaminated produce includes potatoes, grapes, strawberries, cilantro, and oranges, with 90% of samples found positive for pesticides. These chemicals are not only toxic but also increase your risk of some cancers. Studies also suggest that a mother’s exposure to pesticides increases the risk of lower I.Q. and ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) in their children.
Canned Foods
Cans used for food products like tomatoes are lined with a chemical called bisphenol-A (BPA), which acts like estrogen and disturbs your normal hormonal function. Studies demonstrate links between BPA and intestinal damage, heart disease, infertility, and some reproductive issues. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) reports that BPA exposure in the United States is widespread. Canned tomatoes are particularly dangerous among all canned foods since the high acidity in tomatoes can cause BPA to leach into them.

Diet foods and Beverages
These food and drinks are worse than ones with conventional sweeteners. They contain aspartame, sucralose, saccharin and other common artificial sweeteners, which can cause various illnesses, including cancer and birth defects.
Refined Floor
Foods that are high in sugar content such as processed foods made with refined flour have been found to increase the risk of breast cancer, especially when they are consumed regularly. These foods have a high-glycemic index, which raises blood sugar levels and promotes rapid cancer cell growth and its spread.

Refined Sugars
Foods made of refined sugars such as cakes, cookies, pies, soda, juice, and cereals, also cause spikes in insulin levels and encourage rapid growth of malignant cells. Artificial sweeteners like high-fructose corn syrup are most offensive, since cancer cells easily metabolize these sugars to proliferate.

Hydrogenated Oils
These oils are often used to preserve and stabilize processed foods. However, they also affect cell membranes, which can lead to diseases like cancer. Because of this, some manufacturers avoid using hydrogenated oils by replacing them with safer alternatives such as palm oil. However, processed foods are also laden with trans fat, which is also dangerous to health.

Should ampirts be shaved?

Why Would A Man Want To Shave His Armpit Hair? Armpit Hair And Sweat.  There is  circumstantial  and somewhat  vague  evidence suggesting that shaving your armpit hair reduces sweating.

The Longest Tongue Ever

Meet The Girl With A Lizard-Like Tongue, Twice Longer Than Average Tongue Chanel Tapper, a student from California, USA, has the world’s longest tongue, measuring 9.75 cm (3.8 in), from tip to top lip. Her lizard-like tongue is twice as long as the average, as long as the world’s largest cockroach, as wide as your palm, the same volume as a quarter pounder hamburger and around the same length as an iPhone. She shared a few details of her life in an interview with Guinness World Records. More photos after the cut... What do you do for a living? What’s a typical day for you in your hometown?

Sex positions to try and those not to try during pregnancy

Sexual Positions During the First Trimester It's perfectly normal (and understandable!) if first-trimester fatigue and   morning sickness   have you feeling less than sexy. But if you are in the mood, first-trimester sex has its advantages: Most women are naturally well-lubed, have no big belly to work around, and may be extra-enthusiastic, thanks to the surge in pregnancy hormones that make your lady parts engorged and extra-sensitive. Sex positions to try:   "Anything goes during the first trimester," So go ahead -- scissor, get acrobatic, play with sex toys, or explore the entire Kama Sutra! If you're tired, the missionary position is a beautiful thing -- just lie back and enjoy the ride. Spooning can also be a great lazy-day option. Sex positions to avoid:   Good news -- there are no no-nos! And if you're worried that having sex during pregnancy will bring on a   miscarriage, rest assured. "When you look at the data on miscarriage, or   ear...
