Red Meat
A brand new study confirms the belief that red meat increases cancer risks. In an article from the San Diego Union Tribune detailing the study, a sugar molecule, called Neu5Gc, becomes part of your own cells when it’s consumed. Your body then attacks it, resulting in inflammation and a higher cancer risk. Medscape reveals previous studies also show an increase in breast cancer among women who consumed more red meat. i.e. beef, lamb and mutton, pork, veal, venison, & goat.
French Fries/Potato Chips
Acrylamide is a chemical used mainly in certain industrial processes, such as in making paper, dyes, and plastics. For potatoes, frying causes the highest acrylamide formation. Both french fries and potato chips were found to have higher levels of this chemical that studies have shown increase the risk of cancer. Potatoes are also part of the Environmental Working Group’s “Dirty Dozen” meaning they have some of the most pesticide residue of all the fruits and vegetables.
