Caution: Carcenogenic Food

The top five cancer-causing foods are:

1. Hot dogs

Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.

2. Processed meats and bacon

Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart! disease . The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.

3. Doughnuts

Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.

4. French fries

Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams .

5. Chips, crackers, and cookies

All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.

Are you kidding me? I love all the foods mentioned above! Lays chips, donuts, french fries, luncheon meat and especially hotdogs! Cancer-causing? Hmm, I think it's just a spoof. Must be mom, her simple meal in the past consists of fried eggs, baked beans, steamed luncheon and hotdogs with rice. Occasionally there would be salted black fish and otah with rice and soup. Oh boy, all these while I thought it was alright to eat such "simple" foods since canned food is so cheap. No wonder my body seems to be degrading faster than it should. It must be the built up of all these canned food stored in my bones over the last few years!

.. And I thought I was low maintenance if I could live on eggs, baked beans, luncheon meat, hotdogs and rice for the rest of my life. Oh well, detox time!
