You might read this headline and think, yeah, everything causes cancer, but the truth is that many foods DO cause cancer, as well as other types of disease. Many of the foods that we are accustomed to eating today are completely unnatural — so unnatural that our grandparents would not recognize them. Mother Nature never intended for us to eat some of the following foods, and others are so badly contaminated or foreign that our bodies do not know how to metabolize them or to process them. Thus, they end up doing strange things to our bodies.
Want to know some of the worst, cancer causing foods that you should not only just avoid, but never eat again? Keep reading for the top ten worst offenders.
10. Factory-Farmed Salmon
The Institute for Health and the Environment at the University of Albany states that not only is farmed salmon a poor source of vitamin D, found in wild salmon, but that it is also contaminated by flame retardants, antibiotics, pesticides, PCB’s, and other carcinogenic chemicals. This is mainly due to overcrowded conditions and the extremely poor diet that these fish receive. This causes them to need huge amounts of antibiotics, which get passed on to you via their meat. Although it costs more, the health benefits of wild caught salmon are well worth it.
Wild salmon has healthy amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and other important vitamins and minerals. Although salmon might have some mercury contamination, if it’s eaten in reasonable amounts each week, this risk is minimal compared to the dangers in factory salmon. If you usually order salmon when eating out, ask if it is wild caught Alaskan sockeye salmon. If your waiter doesn’t know, it would be better to order something else to avoid eating contaminated factory-farmed salmon.

Until this country starts to seriously ban GMOs and many of the chemicals used to produce our foods unnaturally, the cost of safe and GMO free foods will continue to rise and move further away from what is considered affordable to many of this country’s folks. $1.50 per lemon, $1.75 per avocado? Rediculous

My lemons are up to $2.00 & avacados $3.00. Anyway, our soil we grow all our food in, is not only contaminated but so nutritionally deficient, those lemons and all our foods, aren’t as healthy as we think. Sad!
