18 Different Foods That Cause Cancer

11. Hydrogenated Oils

You’d think that vegetable oils would be good for you, but sometimes nature throws you curve balls. All hydrogenated oils are vegetable oils. They are not extracted naturally like butter, olive oil, or coconut oil — they need to be chemically removed from the source. Hydrogenated oils are made more appealing to customers and are usually deodorized and colorized to look tastier. They are used to preserve processed foods, more often than not. Another reason to avoid that ham. These oils contain high levels of fatty acids that may cause heart disease and increase the risk of skin cancer.
