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"
Why do they publish such rubish when there is no facts around the claim? Its either "could" or "possibly" or "maybe" cause this or that. I might as well live in a plastic bubble my whole life on Mars!
Mars will give you cancer.
Maybe work causes cancer! I feel nauseous I think I need to talk to HR0 -
Haha this thread is not what I was expecting - I'm happy

Well since slides 1-4 have already been consumed today, I guess I need to updated my will :-)
They love to scare people with the big C. I'm going to start a blog called, "websites that lists foods that cause cancer cause cancer" LOL. Eat good food, exercise, and live life.0 -
Had my daily diet Pepsi for the day (for the last 25 years) and still waiting................

Jones Salt and Vinegar chips have 4 grams of trans fat per serving. Unfortunately, they are the best tasting chips ever and local to Ohio.
Wow. I had no idea. I haven't really eaten them lately, but assumed the trans fats were gone. wow. Thanks.0 -
The leading cause of cancer is life lol0

I feel like it may fit in this category to explain that there's no such thing as "dying of natural causes."
You pretty much have to die of something. Usually when people die of "natural causes" it means their heart said "screw it, I'm done."0 -
I just heard today that an 8 year old cured cancer.
We're all saved.0 -

do you mean "old age", not "natural causes"? cause heart attack/cancer is a natural cause.0 -

Organic is a billion dollar industry.0

I try to avoid most of these things. I think there's some merit to them not being great for you - especially nitrates and smoking meats. I actively attempt to avoid GMOs and hormones. I'm not perfect, but I feel good about reducing my intake of all items on this list (except Alcohol - you can't make me give up the *maybe* 10 glasses of wine I have a year!!)
Why do you avoid GMO's? They are completely safe to eat. I actually go out of my way to avoid organic food.0 -
We eat healthy, we exercise, we die anyways. That is the facts of life.
Enjoying a ice cream cone as we speak/type, lol.

Well I guess I am royally screwed as I sit here eating smoked farmed salmon & genoa salami on white flour crackers made from GMO wheat with a side of pickles and olives, all washed down with some vodka & diet coke!0

Completely safe because the FDA said it is?
Sorry but when food is resistant to pests and pesticides it makes me wonder what they're putting in it to make it that way. I'll stick to my heirloom variety plants from my own garden thanks.
And no, GMO is NOT the same as hybrid.

I wonder if they're going to ever figure out that electricity causes cancer, and then we'll go back to the dark ages. I'm going to go get my tinfoil hat, who's going to join me?
In all seriousness, I question the validity of most experiments, especially if they are on lab animals (which I don't really like at all tbh). Humans will react differently to things than animals because while very similar, our systems are still different.
When someone's profile picture has bars on it does that mean they're banned from posting? Because I just noticed that someone up above has bars on their pic.
Sorry for randomness here, I'm having an ADHD moment due to lack of sleep and the fact that I just got off of a 70 hour work week :-P0 -

I eat only a few of these, and those rarely. I have low alcohol intake, I love cured meats, but eat them rarely; I can my own tomatoes in glass, or buy POMI, which are store bought tomatoes in boxes instead of cans so no BPA; I make my own popcorn on the stove old school; I rarely ever eat white flour; I think my biggest culprits are conventional fruit/veggies - I just can't afford organic right now, and my garden is still small - but growing!!! Red meat - I do eat mostly grassfed; but we have beef probably once a week, or once every other week.
I have a really sensitive system and when I eat 'crap' I feel awful. I've had to learn to eat extremely healthy because my body doesn't give me much of a choice.0 -
oh and I agree with everyone on here - it would seem most everything causes cancer:) So you have to decide what's worth it to you, and what's not. Smoked meats.... I'll get cancer for smoked trout and duck any day of the week 0
