The 4 Foods To Avoid For Cancer Prevention

When it comes to eating the right and wrong foods to lessen your chances of getting cancer here are the 4 foods to avoid for cancer prevention. According to the Daily Mail news website, these are the must to avoid, even though they are most probably our commonly consumed foods.

Bid your classic fry-ups and charcuterie boards goodbye if you want to minimise your cancer risk, experts say. 

Sausages, bacon, salami, chorizo, ham, hot dogs are all examples of processed meats, are one of the foods known to increase cancer risk. 

Processed meat is any animal flesh that has been treated to increase its shelf life or taste better. This is often done by adding chemical preservatives such as nitrates.

The meat could also be processed through curing, smoking or salting. 

Look for alternatives like tinned seafood such as sardines, mackerel and oysters, they're smoked but much better for you.

We all know junk food isn't good for us.

So, it should come as little surprise that sugary sweets and treats are on the list of foods cancer experts suggest you avoid.  

Mr Lambert said: 'We advise that people eat less overly processed, high in saturated fat, sugar and salt food. This includes food like cakes, biscuits, pastries, crisps, sugar-sweetened drinks, and fast food like pizza and burgers.'

'These types of food have no fiber and contain virtually no essential nutrients, they should only be eaten occasionally and in small amounts,' he added. 

If you still need to get a fix of fried seafood, just make it an occasional treat and the same goes for sugary sweets.

Saying 'last call' to booze can cut your chances of developing seven types of cancer.

'When it comes to alcohol, there are no health benefits to drinking,' he said. 

This flies in the face of research that says red wine is good for us, so limit your consumption and be on the safe side.

Just like processed meat, cancer-conscious we may want to steer clear of steak, burgers and lamb chops.

That's because experts warn red meat is also on the list of foods experts say could cause cancer. 

That includes all kids of fresh, minced and frozen pork, beef and lamb.  

Multiple studies have established a link between eating red meat and some types of cancer.

However, experts say exactly how this happens, and indeed the precise level of the increased cancer risk, remain unclear

If you're a big red meat eater find ways to limit your consumption to once a week or so. Eating red meat daily is not a great idea, besides, you will appreciate that occaisional burger or steak a lot more if it's something to look forward to.

Some of my favorites are the type of foods that most people wouldn’t put anywhere near their mouths. I am talking everything from tinned fish of all types to my choice of candy.

For me sardines and canned smoked oysters are a delicious treat that I have regularly. In fact, if you look in pantry you will see all types of canned fish. I love anchovies and believe they are a must on a proper Caesar salad and should be welcomed on a pizza.
