How can?!


I did some extra little research of my own over the net after reading some email. And here's where I landed.

The Top Five Cancer-Causing Foods


Now, do carry on with the reading if you care enough to know.

Here are the five worst offenders:
  • Hot dogs: The Cancer Prevention Coalition recommends that children should not eat more than 12 hot dogs per month because of the risk of cancer. If you must have your hot dog fix, look for those without sodium nitrite listed among the ingredients.
  • Processed meats and bacon: These meats almost always contain the same sodium nitrite found in hot dogs. You can find some without nitrites, but you'll have to look for them in natural grocers or health food stores. Bacon is also high in saturated fat, which contributes to the risk of cancers, including breast cancer. Limiting your consumption of processed meats and saturated fats also benefits the heart.
  • Doughnuts: Doughnuts contain hydrogenated oils, white flour, sugar, and acrylamides. Essentially, they're one of the worst cancer foods you can possibly eat. Reader's Digest calls doughnuts "disastrous" as a breakfast food, and many experts agree it's probably one of the worst ways to start the day.
  • French fries: Fries are made with hydrogenated oil and fried at high temperatures. Some chains even add sugar to their fry recipe to make them even more irresistible. Not only do they clog your arteries with saturated fat and trans fat, they also contain acrylamides. They should be called "cancer fries," not French fries.
  • Chips / crackers / cookies: These generally contain white flour and sugar as well as trans fats, but it's not enough to simply look for these ingredients on the label; you have to actually "decode" the ingredients list that food manufacturers use to deceive consumers. They do this by hiding ingredients such as hiding MSG in yeast extract, or by fiddling with serving sizes so they can claim the food is trans fat free, even when it contains trans fats (the new Girl Scout cookies use this trick).
More here.

Like no way, man. My favorite is in the top five. This means the worst for me - I'll have to cut down on my doughnut intake. Mind you, I dropped by the bakery again earlier today intending to buy my "d". For the better, I'll just have to tame the cravings if I don't wish to speed my way to the grave.

This is no good. I can deal with the first two quite well. But the 3rd (especially), plus the other two, will be more like an ordeal for me.

AIYAA~~~

Tears of blood are gushing out my eye sockets now.
