    The top five cancer-causing foods are:

    1.. Hot Dogs

    Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention
    Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a
    month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without
    sodium nitrate.

    2. Processed meats and Bacon

    Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon,
    and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The
    saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.

    3. Doughnuts

    Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made
    with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at
    high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams ( The health ranger), may be the worst food
    you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.

    4. French fries

    Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and
    then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer-
    causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They
    should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams .

    5. Chips, crackers, and cookies

    All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones
    whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain
    small amounts of trans-fats.

    soo sad that even french fries r cancer-causing. i simply love them. anyway it is high time we all change our diets to olden style diets.
    our ancestors did not have wide range of food choices as we do now.they ate simple home made foods , hence where healthy. also they did lot of physical work and thereby they were more health....most of them did not have obesity problems, not many had sugar problems, ...of all these days many girls r having irregular menses.....which is mainly due to lack of physical activity and poor diet . .....i really wonder how our forthcoming generations would be.
