The American Institute for Cancer Research reports that about one-third of the most common cancers in the U.S. could be prevented through a healthy diet. To lower your risk, it’s wise to limit certain foods:

1. Processed Meats: Linked to cancer and cardiovascular disease. Limiting intake could prevent premature deaths.
2. BPA-Lined Cans: BPA, used in plastics and can linings, is associated with cancer and other health issues.
3. Cured and Smoked Foods: Contain nitrites and nitrates, which can form cancer-causing compounds when
cooked.
4. Microwave Popcorn: The bag lining, containing PFOA, is linked to various cancers.
5. GMOs: Some genetically modified foods, treated with herbicides, may increase cancer risk.
6. Sugar: High sugar diets are linked to an increased risk of certain cancers.
7. Hydrogenated Oils: These are linked to a doubled risk of breast cancer.
8. Sodas: High in sugar and artificial ingredients, linked to increased cancer risk.
