So glad I know this now! 😮

The American Institute for Cancer highlights that 60-70% of cancers can be prevented with diet and lifestyle changes. Here are some foods to avoid that may increase cancer risk:

1. **BPA-lined cans:** Found in plastic and metal products, BPA is linked to cancer and other health issues.
2. **Cured and smoked foods:** Nitrates and nitrites in processed meats can form cancer-causing compounds when cooked.
3. **Farmed fish:** Contain higher levels of chemical pollutants like PCBs, a carcinogen.
4. **Grilled meat:** PAHs produced during grilling can increase cancer risk.
5. **Hydrogenated oils (trans fats):** Linked to chronic diseases and immune system problems.
6. **Microwave popcorn:** Bags may release harmful chemicals linked to tumors.
7. **Non-organic produce:** Pesticides used in conventional farming may increase cancer risk.
8. **Processed foods:** Often high in preservatives, unhealthy fats, and additives.
9. **Refined sugars:** Contribute to various health problems, including feeding cancer cells.
10. **Soda/Sports drinks:** High in sugars, dyes, and chemicals linked to cancer risk.

Making simple dietary changes can significantly reduce your cancer risk.
