18 Different Foods That Cause Cancer

18. Frankenfoods

We’ve heard the term “Frankenfoods” bandied about in the past two decades or so, and it is usually connoting genetically modified organisms, or GMOs — with the portmanteau name derived from an iconic monster who just wanted a friend. However, we need to remember that anything artificial is not really food, and that includes diet foods and diet drinks. They may have abnormally high levels of aspartame, refined sugar, high sodium levels, or even food coloring to appear more appetizing. Low fat and low calories do not automatically make food healthy. Look for fresh foods and whole ingredients so that you can really appreciate what you are putting into your body and minimize the risks of getting sick.
