Foods to avoid to prevent cancer

The Dhaka Times Desk The World Health Organization estimates that around 9.6 million people died worldwide in 2018 due to cancer. This painful disease is seen as the second leading cause of death worldwide.

Experts believe that the sudden increase in cancer incidence can only be due to our lifestyle and diet.

The trend of consuming packaged food, adulterated food seems to be increasing day by day. And it has now become the root cause of cancer. In addition, there are certain foods that can cause cancer in the long run. Therefore, experts believe that cancer can be avoided if the matter is known in the beginning and those foods can be stopped.

Find out today which foods can cause cancer:

Packaged goods

Packaged food has become an everyday food these days. So you must stay away from any packaged food. Packaged foods usually contain synthetic or plastic ingredients. The bottled drinks available in the market also contain a harmful chemical called formaldehyde, which can cause various cancers including prostate cancer and breast cancer.

If you keep packaged food in the fridge or bring it home, its quality and taste will quickly deteriorate. The synthetic chemicals used in food packets are very harmful to the body. Such ingredients have lasting effects for the body.

white flour

White flour can also cause cancer. In most cases, refined flour is also added with coloring chemicals in some cases. On the other hand, flour also increases blood sugar levels. Chlorine gas is used to bleach flour. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, chlorine gas is completely unsuitable for the human body. Cancer cells or tumors can cause various complications including growth.

Red meat

According to experts, eating too much red meat increases the risk of pancreatic cancer, colon cancer or colorectal cancer. You should avoid eating red meat every day to reduce the risk of cancer. The World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research have revealed that people whose diets typically include an excess of red meat have an increased risk of pancreatic, stomach, lung, esophageal, breast, and endometrial cancers.

vegetable oil

We prefer to use vegetable oil in almost every aspect of cooking. Be it vegetables or any healthy food. But unfortunately, it's not good for you at all. It is extracted by a chemical process, which is also very harmful.

Soybean oil, sunflower oil and corn oil are very suitable for cooking at low temperatures, but unsuitable for cooking at high temperatures. Palm oil, mustard oil, almond oil are not at all useful for those who do less physical activity.

Low fat products

Also, beware of products labeled 'low-fat'. This is because artificial sweeteners can also cause cancer.

Recently, many people have turned to diet, zero calorie and low-calorie artificial sugar instead of sugar due to the fear of obesity. Although calorie-free artificial sugar can help you lose or maintain weight, it also contributes to cancer. So you should avoid eating these foods.
