Chips

For potato chips to be crispy, they need to be deep-fried in temperatures above 248 degrees Fahrenheit. This causes them to create a substance called acrylamide, which is a well-known carcinogen found in cigarettes.

According to a 2008 study published in the International Journal of Cancer, dietary acrylamide can put you at a higher risk of ovarian, prostate, and breast cancers. They can even create chaos for your digestive tract. Potato chips are also high in fats and calories.

You can try baked apple or banana chips which are a much healthier option than regular potato chips.

While it can be disheartening knowing that some of your favorite foods could be cancer causing, we suggest slowly substituting if you think going cold-turkey is too extreme for you.

  1. Use of anti-oxidants works well. Free radicals are the enemy. Standard vitamins do help. The newer immunity supplements NAC, Lycopene, pomergranate are breakthrough stuff.

  2. I have spent several minutes looking for the info in the tagline hook – never found it after first mention of processed food. WHY MAKE IT SO HARD TO FIND IT? Is this designed to help the interested reader or to advertise of sites. I will not be sharing your site with friends and family and I will “attempt” to unsubscribe.

  3. My question is this: why do we know certain things cause cancer, yet we continue to use them instead of banning them like they do in other countries?? Manufacturers should be held accountable for not changing the way they process foods.

    Ty for. INFO MY FATHER IS A WHITE SUGAR WHITE BREAD FANATIC I BUY MY OWN WHOLE WHEAT BREAK EAT CHOCOLATE AND HAVE HONEY ON HAND

  5. Clickbait. Could not get to the article on seven cancer causing foods. I did not subscribe to this.

  6. This article must come from California. They seem to think that everything causes Cancer. If we live our lives paranoid about the big C then we will not live our lives to the fullest. Doctors cannot say who gets it or who doesn’t. As they say a lot, if your family has a history of it, you have a possibility of it but not a guarantee.
    Smokers have lived over 100 years old so who can say who will get it.
    By this article we need to all become Vegans and to heck with the meats and other normal foods most americans eat.

    Basically we should avoid all foods, however the new trend is is when cooking red meat,
    the rarest it should be is medium! Also, alittle bit of sugar is good for you because it is the only
    nutrient that feeedss your central nervous system.
