The culprits above make these foods top cancer causing foods.
Alcohol: Limit intake to 2 drinks a day for men and 1 drink a day for women, reports the American Cancer Society. A drink is 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of liquor.
Grilled and Pan Fried Meats: You can reduce the formation of harmful chemicals by:
Avoiding direct exposure of meat to an open flame or a hot metal surface
Pre-cooking meat in a microwave oven to reduce the high heat time needed to finish cooking
Turning meat over frequently on a high heat source
Removing charred portions of meat
Refraining from using gravy made from meat dripping
Donuts and Potato Chips: Deep fried foods that have a high glycemic load carry a double whammy. Replace them with baked, whole grain, or protein snacks.
Soft Drinks: Replace with water or sparkling water mixed with a little 100% fruit juice (no added sugar).
Margarine: Replace with olive oil.
Farmed Fish: limit your intake to no more that once a month and eat wild caught fish when possible (canned is fine).
Begin now to reduce or replace these foods with foods that help protect against cancer (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and cold-water fish).
