10 Makanan Penyebab Utama Kanser

Semakin hari semakin banyak kes yang kita dengar pasal penyebab kanser. Apatah lagi tanpa kita sedari mungkin makanan kegemaran kita juga adalah penyebab utama berlakunya kanser. Jom tengok 10 jenis makanan utama yang sangat tidak sihat dan boleh menyumbangkan kepada penyakit kanser.

1. GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms)
Makanan ubahsuai genetik ini memang sudah diperkatakan berulangkali akan potensi nya untuk mengakibatkan penyakit. Apatah lagi dalam keadaan sekarang, hampir kebanyakan makanan seperti soya, dan jagung juga dipercayai hampir 98% adalah terdiri daripada hasil GMO. Sebagai alternatif, jika anda pengguna tegar bahan-bahan tadi, boleh lah beralih kepada tanaman asli, organik dan yang diperakui akan hasilnya.

2. Daging Proses
Kebanyakan daging proses sama ada daging dalam tin, sosej atau hot dog, mengandungi bahan pengawet untuk membantu mengekalkan rupa segar daging tersebut. Tetapi dalam masa yang sama juga boleh menyebabkan kanser! Sebagai alternatif, pastikan daging pilihan anda jenis yang tidak dirawat menggunakan nitrat ataupun datang segar dari ladang.

3. Microwave Popcorn
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) telah mengenalpasti bahawa asid perfluorooctanoik (PFOA) yang terkandung dalam beg popcorn tersebut mengandungi bahan karsinogen yang boleh menyebabkan kanser. Selain itu bahan kimia yang terkandung dalam popcorn itu sendiri juga boleh mengakibatkan kerosakan paru-paru dan juga kanser.

4. Pop Soda
Seperti daging yang diproses, pop soda juga dikatakan boleh menyebabkan kanser. Padat dengan gula, bahan kimia dan pewarna, pop soda boleh mengasidkan dan secara tak langsung membuka laluan untuk sel kanser. 

5. Makanan/Minuman "Diet"
Satu kajian saintifik yang dilakukan oleh European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) mendapati bahawa terdapat lebih daripada 20 kajian yang berasingan telah mengesahkan bahawa aspartame, pemanis tiruan boleh mengakibatkan penyakit seperti kecacatan kelahiran dan juga kanser. Sacharin, Suklarose (Splenda) dan pemanis tiruan yang lain juga dikatakan boleh menyebabkan kanser.

6. Tepung Putih Halus
Satu kajian yang dikeluarkan dalam Jurnal Cancer Epidemiology, Mile Markers and Prevention mendapati bahawa penggunaan berterusan karbohidrat halus boleh meningkatkan sehingga 220% potensi kepada kanser payudara dalam kalangan wanita. 

7. Gula Halus
Gula halus juga dikatakan menjadi penyumbang kepada peningkatan bahan karsinogen dalam badan. Pengambilan gula halus secara tak langsung dapat meningkatkan penghasilan insulin dalam badan sekaligus boleh menjadi penjana kepada pertumbuhan sel kanser.

8. Buah-Buahan Bukan Organik
Pengambilan buah-buahan yang tidak organik juga mendedahkan seseorang kepada risiko kanser. Ini kerana buah-buahan tersebut telah dicemari oleh baja dan racun serangga yang berlebihan, sehingga memindahkan kandungan toksin yang banyak ke dalam tubuh si pemakan. 

9. Salmon Yang Diternak
Menurut Dr David Carpenter, Pengarah Institute for Health and Environment di University Albany, ikan salmon yang diternak bukan sahaja kekurangan Vitamin D, tetapi juga tercemar dengan bahan karsinogen, PCB (polychlorinated biphenyls), racun serangga dan juga antibiotik.

10. Minyak Hydrogenated
Selalunya minyak ini digunakan sebagai bahan pengawet bagi membuatkan makanan tahan lebih lama. Namun kehadiran minyak ini sebenarnya mengubah struktur sel membran dalam badan, sekaligus membuka peluang kepada pelbagai jenis penyakit untuk singgah termasuklah penyakit kanser.

Microwave popcorn. They might be convenient, but those bags of microwave popcorn are lined with chemicals that are linked to causing not only infertility but also liver, testicular, and pancreatic cancers. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognizes the perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in microwave popcorn bag linings as “likely” carcinogenic, and several independent studies have linked the chemical to causing tumors. Similarly, the diacetyl chemical used in the popcorn itself is linked to causing both lung damage and cancer.
4) Soda pop. Like processed meats, soda pop has been shown to cause cancer as well. Loaded with sugar, food chemicals, and colorings, soda pop acidifies the body and literally feeds cancer cells. Common soda pop chemicals like caramel color and its derivative 4-methylimidazole (4-MI) have also specifically been linked to causing cancer.
5) ‘Diet’ foods, beverages. Even worse than conventional sugar-sweetened soda pop, though, is “diet” soda pop and various other diet beverages and foods. A recent scientific review issued by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) of more than 20 separate research studies found that aspartame, one of the most common artificial sweeteners, causes a range of illnesses including birth defects and cancer. Sucralose (Splenda), saccharin and various other artificial sweeteners have also been linked to causing cancer.
6) Refined ‘white’ flours. Refined flour is a common ingredient in processed foods, but its excess carbohydrate content is a serious cause for concern. A study published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Mile Markers, and Prevention found that regular consumption of refined carbohydrates was linked to a 220 percent increase in breast cancer among women. High-glycemic foods in general have also been shown to rapidly raise blood sugar levels in the body, which directly feeds cancer cell growth and spread.
7) Refined sugars. The same goes for refined sugars, which tend to rapidly spike insulin levels and feed the growth of cancer cells. Fructose-rich sweeteners like high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) are particularly offensive, as cancer cells have been shown to quickly and easily metabolize them in order to proliferate. And since cookies, cakes, pies, sodas, juices, sauces, cereals, and many other popular, mostly processed, food items are loaded with HFCS and other refined sugars, this helps explain why cancer rates are on the rise these days.
8) Conventional apples, grapes, and other ‘dirty’ fruits. Many people think they are eating healthy when they buy apples, grapes, or strawberries from the store. But unless these fruits are organic or verified to be pesticide-free, they could be a major cancer risk. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that up to 98 percent of all conventional produce, and particularly the type found on its “dirty” fruits list, is contaminated with cancer-causing pesticides.
9) Farmed salmon. Farmed salmon is another high-risk cancer food, according to Dr. David Carpenter, Director of the Institute for Health and the Environment at the University of Albany. According to his assessment, farmed salmon not only lacks vitamin D, but it is often contaminated with carcinogenic chemicals, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), flame retardants, pesticides, and antibiotics.
10) Hydrogenated oils. They are commonly used to preserve processed foods and keep them shelf-stable. But hydrogenated oils alter the structure and flexibility of cell membranes throughout the body, which can lead to a host of debilitating diseases such as cancer. Some manufacturers are phasing out the use of hydrogenated oils and replacing them with palm oil and other safer alternatives, but trans fats are still widely used in processed foods. - See more at: http://www.riseearth.com/2013/05/the-10-most-cancer-causing-foods.html#sthash.YqraOGno.dpuf

1) Genetically-modified organisms (GMOs). It goes without saying that GMOs have no legitimate place in any cancer-free diet, especially now that both GMOs and the chemicals used to grow them have been shown to cause rapid tumor growth. But GMOs are everywhere, including in most food derivatives made from conventional corn, soybeans, and canola. However, you can avoid them by sticking with certified organic, certified non-GMO verified, and locally-grown foods that are produced naturally without biotechnology.
2) Processed meats. Most processed meat products, including lunch meats, bacon, sausage, and hot dogs, contain chemical preservatives that make them appear fresh and appealing, but that can also cause cancer. Both sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate have been linked to significantly increasing the risk of colon and other forms of cancer, so be sure to choose only uncured meat products made without nitrates, and preferably from grass-fed sources.
3) Microwave popcorn. They might be convenient, but those bags of microwave popcorn are lined with chemicals that are linked to causing not only infertility but also liver, testicular, and pancreatic cancers.
