These 6 Foods Can Increase Your Risk of Cancer - Joel

One of the most feared diseases by many people is cancer. Not only can it increase the risk of premature death, sufferers will experience extraordinary suffering considering that this disease eats away at parts of the body. 

In addition, the treatment process for this disease also tends to be very difficult and may not be able to cure it completely. For this reason, we should try our best to prevent its arrival.

Various types of foods to avoid to prevent cancer

One way we can do to prevent cancer is to implement the right diet. Health experts say that there are several types of food that can actually increase the risk of getting this disease so we should avoid them.

The following are these foods.

Carbonated drinks

Carbonated drinks tend to be popular with the Indonesian people. This is because they taste good and refreshing, especially when served cold. The problem is that carbonated drinks are among the drinks that are least good for health.

The sugar content in carbonated drinks is very high. Moreover, coupled with the fact that the type of sugar in this drink is corn syrup which is high in fructose. This sugar is very concentrated and tends to be difficult for the body to digest.

If we consume it often, the digestive organs, especially the liver, will work very hard to process it. Coupled with exposure to artificial coloring in this drink, the risk of triggering cancer in the digestive organs will increase.

Foods with white flour

Foods made from white flour such as pasta, bread, and various cakes can be easily found every day. The problem is that behind the pleasure of these foods, there is an increased risk of cancer if we consume them too often. This is caused by the processing of white flour which uses several chemicals that have the potential to increase the risk of cancer.

In addition, there are quite a lot of foods with high white flour content that are high in sugar, a content that can trigger inflammation in the body if consumed too much.

Potato chips

Potato chips, especially those that have been packaged with various interesting flavors, can also increase the risk of cancer if consumed often. This is due to the high content of trans fat, preservatives, and salt in them.

In addition, the process of processing potatoes at high temperatures can also trigger the appearance of acrylamide content. One of the ingredients that is carcinogenic or can cause cancer.

Margarine

Margarine that we often use as an ingredient for making cakes can also increase the risk of cancer. This is caused by the processing process that uses oil at high temperatures which can eventually trigger the emergence of chemicals such as lycidol and 3-MCPdare which are carcinogenic or can cause cancer.

Microwaved popcorn

Microwaved popcorn does taste good, but health experts say this food already contains the chemical PFOA which is a carcinogenic ingredient. In addition, we can also find other chemicals such as diacetyl in this popcorn. This ingredient can also trigger cancer.

Red meat

Although high in nutrients, we should limit our consumption of red meat because it can trigger various health problems such as cancer, obesity, and others if consumed frequently. In fact, if we tend to like to eat grilled meat, the risk of pancreatic cancer can increase by up to 60 percent!
