The top five cancer-causing foods are:

1. Hot dogs
Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer
Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more
than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without
hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.

2. Processed meats and bacon
Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot
dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk
of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also
contributes to cancer.


3. Doughnuts
Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First,
they are made with white flour, sugar, and
hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures.
Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can
possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.


4. French fries
Like doughnuts, French fries are made with
hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures.
They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which
occur during the frying process. They should be called
cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams .

5. Chips, crackers, and cookies
All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even
the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats
generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.
