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.0 -

Uh-oh, I better alert my 95 year old mother to stop eating everything that's kept her alive for 95 years. "Hey, Mom, guess what. . . "0

But are they cancer causing for HUMANS? The article (if you could even call it that) doesn't say if it's for humans or for rats.
FYI, did you know clay (the soil) and chamomile tea are also carcinogens?0 -
I work part time in a grocery store and one of the baggers is constantly going on about organic foods and aspartame causing cancer and whatever random article he read that said such and such food will cause you to grow extra toes. Not only is bad for business it's also incredibly annoying. When he starts throwing statistics out I can't help but just laugh. The poor thing.0

Just posted on my page as to why I buy "good" food and pack it everyday for myself!
LOL, better make sure you aren't packing it in some of those cancer causing plastics.
I wonder how I've made it this long.0 -
Totally agree with you. Everything has its good and bad side. Just eat moderate, not excessive. Balance, Balance and Balance.:-)BobbiTracey wrote: »Does that mean I have cancer????
That's fantastic haha!
Pretty much EVERYTHING these days supposedly gives you cancer or some kind of other illness. If I spent every day worrying about what could kill me I'd have a very sorry existence! Live life to the full and enjoy the things you love!

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!!)

I'm not trolling, either. I think everyone should do their research and decide what's right for them0 -
Haha, and these are the type of folks who drink carrot juice to prevent cancer too.....carrots have nitrates in them, the same nitrates they say to avoid by not eating processed meats.

This is what I was going to say.0 -
The only one in there that I will actually give them is alcohol – although their description makes no sense and is a giant contradiction.0

That was my thought too. And regular potato chips don't have artifical flavorings, preservatives (other than salt), and colors. Flavored chips may, but not potato chips.
Potato chips typically have 3 ingredients.0 -
Pickled foods? I've always read that pickled foods are good for your gut. A healthy gut = healthy immune system.0
-
Well, that list doesn't leave much.0

The last "it gives you cancer" thing I actually read was drinking water from the hose outside.
Whoever wrote that article has never lived through a SE Texas summer, and afterwards I quit reading these stupid things.

Just cooking a food can add carcinogens. Some of this stuff is a little alarmist.0

Drinking from a hose during a SE TX summer is SO dangerous! You could scald your lips and tongue doing that!0 -
Actually the microwave popcorn -- specifically the buttered kind -- and the BPA's in canned food is true.
The pickled one is laughable as fermented foods are great for feeding your gut bacteria.0 -
Did you know that 100% of people who drink water die!0

It's like the "Lotto". Suggestive selling makes money for the organization. It's about the dollas.sandman1000 wrote: »"It’s probably not something you think about every day, whether or not the foods you are eating could contain carcinogens, but with almost 1.5 million people diagnosed with some type of cancer just last year, perhaps it’s time to look at what is in our foods that could be causing such a huge number of new cancer patients. 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!

Real "research" would be peer reviewed. Unfortunately, lots of information isn't. Many "studies" are biased and cherry pick certain facts to make whatever agenda they aim for more legit.ValentineNicole wrote: »I try to avoid most of these things.

People used to die young from horrible diseases like septic shock, diabetes, catastrophic blood loss, dysentery, pneumonia, and organ failure.
Now we die old from cancer and heart disease. It's not a dietary issue; it's a longevity side-effect.0 -
Jeez! Everything supposedly causes Cancer these days, or so they claim often. Whenever a new product comes out, "Beware! It causes Cancer!". They said that about microwave ovens and cell phones before. Silly silly!0
-
I read that oxygen now gives you cancer. I guess we're all done for.0
-
Probably the air we breathe and the water we drink as well.
And this is only tongue in cheek. It could be all of the above causing cancer in some people. And, where is the $$$$ in curing cancer. No incentive for big pharm, hospitals, clinics, research grants continuing.
P.S. my husband is one of the 1.5 million diagnosed in the past year.0 -
Lets add a few, breathing air, walking thru automatic doors, cell phone use, prescribed medications........the list goes on!0
