3. Microwave popcorn

They might be convenient, but those bags of microwave popcorn are lined with chemicals that are linked to causing not only infertility but also liver, testicular, and pancreatic cancers.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognizes the perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in microwave popcorn bag linings as “likely” carcinogenic, and several independent studies have linked the chemical to causing tumors.

Similarly, the diacetyl chemical used in the popcorn itself is linked to causing both lung damage and cancer (https://www.drweil.com/drw/u/QAA400701/Microwave-Popcorn-Threat.html).

4. Soda pop

Like processed meats, soda pop has been shown to cause cancer as well.

Loaded with sugar, food chemicals, and colorings, soda pop acidifies the body and literally feeds cancer cells.

Common soda pop chemicals like caramel color and its derivative 4-methylimidazole (4-MI) have also specifically been linked to causing cancer.

5. ‘Diet’ foods, beverages

Even worse than conventional sugar-sweetened soda pop, though, is “diet” soda pop and various other diet beverages and foods.

A recent scientific review issued by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) of more than 20 separate research studies found that aspartame, one of the most common artificial sweeteners, causes a range of illnesses including birth defects and cancer.

Sucralose (Splenda), saccharin and various other artificial sweeteners have also been linked to causing cancer (https://www.dailymail.co.uk).
