We all know Cancer is a disease which we still don't know the root cause of but what our doctors do know is that there are certain eatables and drinks which cause cancer. While most people believe that it is smoking and alcohol that could lead to cancer, it is not entirely true. Did you know that some unhealthy foods too can be major sources of Cancer? Some very popular, comfort foods that you are addicted to also cancer. Here is a list of what you need to avoid.
Microwave Popcorn
This is a major comfort food which is a staple for many households. All you have to do is put the packet in the microwave for a fewminutes and its ready. But, from the chemical bag to the ingredients in it, everything makes this food item a sourceof lung cancer. This has been a major topic for debates off late. From the corn kernels to the butter and oil used, every ingredient of this food is said to be good enough to affect you with cancer. What we suggest is that you get organic popcorn and cook it in another utensil. It will be tasty and healthy.

Brown sugar is basicallya refined form of white sugar with molasses for colour and flavour. These foods feed to cancer cells too and can be held responsiblefor promoting their growth. Opt for organic honey, maple sugar or coconut sugar.
Fried Snacks
When we go to a departmental store, we are often lured towards the snacks section where all the beautifullydisplayed chips and fried snacks are displayed. They are yummy but, maam they are cancer causing as well. It all begins at the manufacturing process itself. When these foods are fried, the cancer-causing elements stay with the food.
