3. Processed Meats
By processed meats we are referring to foods such as hot dogs, sausage, bacon, hot links, lunch meat, and any other type of processed meat, such as spam or chicken nuggets. These processed foods all contain chemical preservatives which make them appear “fresher” and more appealing, but these chemicals are well-known to cause cancer. Almost all processed meats contain sodium nitrite and/or sodium nitrates, which have been linked to a significant increase in the rates of certain types of cancer, including colon cancer, stomach cancer, and more.
Choose only uncured meats such as pure ham slices or chicken breast, not formed meats that are simply pieces glued together. Meat should preferably from organic, grass-fed, free range animals. Factory-farmed meats also contain cancer-causing substances including ammonia (used to disinfect the meat) and bleach. They also contain growth hormones and antibiotics that may not cause cancer, but will definitely give you health problems you don’t want or need. It’s true that free range meats cost more, but good health truly is priceless.

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!
