some Cancer Causing Foods You Probably Eat Every Day.. part 1

It’s probably not something you think about every day, whether or not the foods you are eating
could contain carcinogens, but with almost 1.5 million people diagnosed with some type of cancer
just last year, perhaps it’s time to look at what is in our foods that could be causing such a huge
number of new cancer patients. Here is a list of
the top 10 foods that you most likely consume
every day that may contain carcinogens or be
suspected of causing cancer.
1. Microwave Popcorn
Those little bags of popcorn are so convenient to

just stick in the microwave, you wouldn’t think for
a minute that they could be dangerous to your
health, but they are. First, let’s talk about the bag
itself. It’s lined with a chemical called
perfluorooctanoic acid ( PFOA). This is a toxin
you can find in Teflon also. After being heated,
this toxic chemical is known to cause infertility
and cancer in lab animals. The EPA lists this
chemical as a known carcinogen.
Now, let’s talk about the contents. Although every
manufacturer uses slightly different ingredients,
most of them use soybean oil (a GMO product)
as well as various preservatives such as propyl
gallate, a chemical that is causes stomach
problems and skin rashes. Now they don’t
actually say they are using GMO corn kernels, but
that’s because the government says they don’t
have to. Even if they don’t use GMO corn, you
can bet they aren’t using organic corn!
Also, applied to the popcorn itself, is a chemical
called diacetyl. Use of this chemical caused
Conagra Foods to remove it from their brand of
popcorn, ACT, because it was causing lung
diseases in the workers at their factory
