    The only one in there that I will actually give them is alcohol – although their description makes no sense and is a giant contradiction.

    Do potato chips actually have trans fats anymore?

    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.

    Pickled foods? I've always read that pickled foods are good for your gut. A healthy gut = healthy immune system.

    As far as I know, everything causes cancer, so I tend not to get worked up about these kinds of things.

    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.

    Drinking from a hose during a SE TX summer is SO dangerous! You could scald your lips and tongue doing that!

    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.

    "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!
    It's like the "Lotto". Suggestive selling makes money for the organization. It's about the dollas.

    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 them
    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.
