16 Cancer Causing Foods You Should Never Eat continued:

9. Farmed Salmon

If you enjoy eating salmon for the taste, or you eat it for the omega 3s, choose the canned kind. Farm-raised salmon are overcrowded in order to raise enormous numbers of fish, and that leads to health issues. For one, their color is not what it should be, so they’re fed chemicals to ensure their meat is the reddish-pink hue you’re used to seeing. They’re also treated with antibiotics and pesticides that are well-known carcinogens. Check the label when you’re fishing for salmon in your supermarket. Over 60% of the salmon consumed in the U.S. is from a fish farm.

10. Canned Tomatoes

In some countries, the lining in the cans of tomatoes contains a chemical known as bisphenol-A, or BPA. It is toxic, and it lines other canned foods as well. Tomatoes, however, due to their acidity, cause the BPA to leech from the lining of the can and enter the actual tomatoes. Not good. BPA in cans has been linked to several health issues including heart disease, diabetes and cancer. The danger is multiplied when tomatoes are in the can. Glass jars may not solve the problem because the metal lid often has BPA. The safest choice might be to buy fresh, organic tomatoes. Or ask the manager in your market if your canned and jarred tomatoes have BPA.

11. Hydrogenated Oil

Hydrogenated oil is liquid oil that was chemically processed to turn solid. Partially hydrogenated oil, also called trans fat, has become known as the worst fat you can put into your body. Typically, hydrogenated oils are used to preserve processed foods to increase their shelf life. . .by a lot. These oils, when ingested, can alter the structure and integrity of human cell membranes. This can lead to several health issues, one of which is cancer. A study showed that the risk of breast cancer almost doubled among women carrying around high levels of trans fats. Foods to be wary of include baked goods, snack foods, deep-fried foods and some margarines.

12. White Flour

For flour to become white, it has to be refined (which strips it of all nutritional benefits) and then bleached, typically using chlorine gas. If you eat white bread, for example, you are eating bread that is devoid of nutritional benefit, even if nutrients were put back in, called “enriching.” Thus, you’re not getting any disease-protective properties you would get from other foods. Also, white flour is high on the glycemic index which means your blood sugar and insulin levels spike after eating it. There is evidence that the process that ensues may have cancer-promoting effects. There was a study stating that refined carbohydrates were linked to a 220% increase in breast cancer among women. Whole wheat bread might be the better choice for women. . . and for men.

13. Alcohol

It should not be a surprise that drinking too much alcohol can lead to liver poisoning or liver cancer. The International Agency for Research into Cancer (IARC; part of the World Health Organization) has listed alcohol as carcinogen since 1988. And scientists have found that some cancers are more common in heavier drinkers. Mouth, throat, breast and bowels are susceptible to developing cancer as a result of drinking too much alcohol. The type didn’t matter. The quantity consumed over time did matter.

14. Pickles

There’s good news, and there’s not-so good news. Pickles, which are cucumbers that underwent the pickling process of fermenting in salt, vinegar and seasoning, contain probiotics. That’s good news. However, they also contain a high amount of sodium, and pickles that are highly salty have been linked to stomach cancer. A team of doctors in Turkey discovered that gastric cancer patients ate a lot more pickles than cancer-free patients. In general, one large standard pickle is more than enough each day.

15. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)

One study (that was later retracted for unknown reasons by the journal that published it) showed a link between genetically modified corn and cancer. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are living organisms that have had their genetic material artificially manipulated to deliver a benefit. They are becoming more prevalent in markets around the country, and although the health effects of these modified foods on humans have not been conclusively determined, strong sentiment is that they are very harmful over time.

16. Artificial Sweeteners

In the 70s, saccharin studies on rats showed that high doses of the sweetener caused cancer—in rats. It was later proven that the cancer was specific to rats because of their biological make-up, and high doses of saccharin led to bladder stones and bladder cancer. Aspartame is another popular artificial sweetener. In the 90s, a report linked an increase in brain tumors to the powder. However, according the the Cancer Council NSW’s website, upon further investigation, this link was found to be no link at all, just coincidental. Then, in 2005, a study showed that rats that ingested aspartame developed lymphoma and leukemia. However, the rats ingested the equivalent of between eight and 2, 083 cans of diet soda a day! But the damage was done and the public accepted the notion that artificial sweeteners lead to cancer, even though expert agencies in the U.S. (like the National Cancer Institute and the Mayo Clinic) and elsewhere say it’s safe for use.

I am delight to know that CHOCOLATE was not on the list of Cancer Causing Foods

I may well start eating it again

After reading that list there is not much left for me to enjoy eating

[Piling]

I think that the best way to not have cancer is to die by starvation.

Duck are very clever and funny. I had one, when I was a kid.

I think that the best way to not have cancer is to die by starvation.

No certainly not. The best way to avoid cancer is to have a healthy digestive system, which no one can have with a diet of meat, dairy products, oxidated food like fried food and smoking and drinking.

I was think of going back to eating chocolate again

Is chocolate harmful to the digestive system?

I guess that Londoner will recommend you to eat fermented cabbage instead of your dear cadbury

I guess that Londoner will recommend you to eat fermented cabbage instead of your dear cadbury

Instead of posting a photo of his grandchild - perhaps he should post one of himself to prove that his fermented cabbage diet works

Come on Londoner show us a photo of you with your girlfriend 40 years younger then I might even try you fermented cabbage diet

Yes, unfortunately. It is a processed food with many other harmful ingredients like milk, sugar.....etc.
A processed food speeds up biological ageing and weakens digestive and immune system. One can neutralise the harms of the processed fruits, vegetables and chocolates some how by consuming the same amounts and a bit more of fresh fruits and vegetables. But you can not neutralise the harms of meat, dairy products, drinking and smoking, no matter how much greens you eat.

Reverse ageing is not possible, that is my view with reasons. But some highly qualified people with years of experience on human body claim reverse ageing is possible. This is I have seen on the cover page of their books. But I think it is just for the sake of advertising the book.

In the picture you see me with my grand daughter on her fifth birthday. In the picture above she is 8 months old. I have been applying about 80% of my own diet, R120Y diet for over two years when I was around 67. I don't think I become look younger but I believe biologically I have become younger or a lot healthier. I have a strong stamina, overcome hypertension and third stage kidney chronic disease. I have not become ill for over two years. Before every year at least I got flu and chest infection at least twice a year and I would have recovered with the use of medication with the help of anti biotics. Last year because I didn't get chest infection for over a year, on purpose I exposed myself to cold so that I would become ill with flu and cold. I got it but it was not very painful. it was coming and going. gradually disappeared. It was for the first time in my life I recovered from flu and cold without antibiotics.

I have another explanation concerning your good health : because the food you eat is less tasty, you eat less. At the contrary, as junk food is terribly addictive, when you ate it you ate more than your real nutritional needs.

If we read vegans, pro paleo diet, anti-gluten eaters, free sugar adepts, etc. : ALL of them say the SAME thing : since they started this diet, they are in good health and rid of their own diseases, etc.

But these people are following many different (often antagonistic) food rules, logically though only one single diet should make people good. But a restrictive diet leads to less various food, and monotony incites to moderation. The only real efficient way to feel better could be eating less calories.

Or a 2nd explanation : placebo effect. I am pretty sure it works a lot. If someone eats a hamburger and believes it is bad for one's health, then it will be bad (easy to cheat brain). At the contrary if you eat something with the faith of its magic power, then it will improve your condition.

Both explanations can work together, but concerning vegan diet, if you don't supplement yourself in B12 vitamin after many years you could have trouble.

After many years of careful research I have finally discovered why I am fat

I EAT TOO MUCH

Actually I eat a lot because mu food is very tasty. Go to the site reach120years.uk and read my recipes numbered from 36 to 42. Placedo effect is not enough unless supported by some thing very relevant, in my case it is my diet. If you eat a diet of meat and dairy products the probability is very high that you will become unhealthy regardless of your faith to be healthy. I only apply my diet about 80% +. I eat fish, which has vitamin b12 and I culture vitamin B12 in my R120Y kimchi. Recently because of my age, my GP did my blood and urine test. Both tests indicated I was in a good state of health without any mineral deficiency. So my meals are completely nutritious.

If you eat fish it is ok, then, only 100% pure vegans lack of B12. Your diet is like old traditional Japanese fishers, sort of Okinawa diet.

But in the same video it shows that Vegetarian Adventists' diet is even better, though they eat dairy products :

http://www.nutrition411.com/articles/se ... ist-diet-0

So what to think ? perhaps that beside nutrition, way of life (no stress / spirituality / faith in what we eat) is the best rule.

Another example was the famous Mediterranean diet : vegetables, fish, dairy, vegetable oil, so not much different than the Adventists' … except they drink wine.

http://www.nutrition411.com/content/med ... ood-health

But I think that if we check the daily menus of these 3 populations, we could find that they eat less than 2000 calories / days. 3 have a virtu in common : sobriety. That could be the secret : leaving a meal without feeling 'full' at 100% (the famous 80% of Okinawa).
