A high intake of meat, especially well cooked meat, has been associated with increased risk of cancers. The problem is that barbecuing meat on a grill has produced carcinogenic effects. The char marks are actually chemical reactions that can be dangerous to consume. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Pickles are a fermented food. Fermented\nfoods have grown quite popular lately because they have digestive benefits and\nbreak down certain bacteria\u2019s. However, studies have found higher rates of\ncancer among populations that consume the most fermented foods, including\npickles.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The process used to preserve meats like sausage, bacon, ham, and salami leads to the formation of nitrites. Researchers have found nitrites increase the risk of colon and other cancers. Eat less meat that has been preserved through smoking, salting or curing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Grilled seafood should be avoided, because like grilled meat, the effect of the saturation in the fish on the grill surface can produce a carcinogenic effect. However, if it is baked in an oven or cooked on a stove top, fish is actually fantastic for you and has been linked to cancer prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Diet soda has aspartame. Some of the\nconcerns about cancer stem from the results of studies in rats published by a\ngroup of Italian researchers, which suggested aspartame might increase the risk\nof some blood-related cancers. Try to avoid sodas with aspartame as much as\npossible to reduce your risk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
