The Top Five Cancer-Causing Foods

1. Hot Dogs
Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without Sodium Nitrate.

2. Processed Meats
Also high in the same Sodium Nitrate found in Hot Dogs, bacon and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in baacon also contributes to cancer.

3. Doughnuts
Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.

4. French Fries
Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer-causing acrylamides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French Fries.

5. Chips, Crackers, and Cookies
All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amount of trans-fats.
