Foods That Promote Cancer

There are numerous studies of genetically modified foods that indicate possible health problems.

Various research studies suggest that certain foods can potentially promote cancer if consumed regularly. We eat some of them very often without being aware of the possible dangers. What are cancer-causing foods ?

In this article, you will learn more about cancer-promoting foods that should be avoided as much as possible, especially if there is a family history and as a preventive measure .

Cancer-promoting foods: Genetically modified foods

There are numerous studies of genetically modified foods that indicate potential health problems. For example, GM foods have been linked to health problems such as infertility and allergies.

The effects will become more apparent over the next few years, but by then it may already be too late for many. In the search for profitable forms of production, quality is unfortunately of secondary importance.

The best-known GM products include soy and corn. These are used in numerous foods, here are just two examples: Corn sugar or corn syrup, for example, is contained in many sweets, meat cattle are mostly fed on genetically modified soy.

That is why it is recommended  to consume organic products,  regardless of whether they are foods made with soy or corn, meat, milk or eggs. You should always pay attention to the packaging description.

Cancer-promoting foods: white sugar

Although white sugar was initially traded as a delicacy, various studies have shown that it acts like poison in the body. Some studies show that white sugar nourishes cancer cells, removes calcium from the organism and acidifies it.

However, it does not provide any beneficial substances. Tumors always develop in an over-acidic environment,  which is promoted, for example, by poor nutrition, stress, bad habits and an excess of pollutants.

In addition, white sugar contributes to the multiplication of parasites and also leads to increased  pancreatic problems and cardiovascular diseases.

All those foods that contain white sugar should be avoided as much as possible:  drinks, pastries, cereals, chocolate, sweets, etc.

The following sweeteners are suitable as an alternative.

• Stevia
• Bee honey
• Sugar cane honey
• Panela (sugar cane molasses)
• Agave syrup
• Cereal molasses

Refined carbohydrates

Most of the time, you remove valuable fiber from grains  – which is essential for the correct digestion of food,  leaving you with refined carbohydrates that are not very healthy. It is used to produce the following foods:

• pasta
• loaf
• Pastries
• Cookies
• dough

Regular (mostly daily) consumption of these foods  can cause colon and breast cancer in the long term. Other effects can include being overweight, over-acidic, poor digestion or constipation.

Whole grain products, on the other hand, promote bowel activity and make you feel full, which is  why they are also ideal for maintaining weight or losing weight.

Final tips

After looking at the three major food groups that may have cancer-promoting effects if consumed regularly, we would like to conclude with a few general tips:

• Choose organic foods whenever possible.  Even the so-called natural (not guaranteed) foods usually contain cheap, poor quality ingredients that may be cancerous. In particular, soy, corn and foods made with them should be avoided.
• Avoid white sugar and sugary foods. It is best to use natural sweeteners.
• Choose whole grain products that  also contain valuable fiber. It is also recommended to increase the water consumption outside of meals, especially at the beginning of a change in diet, constipation, headaches and other complaints can occur until the organism adapts. Any complaints will soon pass and general health will improve rapidly.
