5 bad foods that are the cause of most cancers

2-  Sausage



3- Alcohol

Alcohol is actually a type of sugar, so it's also on the list of foods that can increase your risk of cancer. "Alcohol is an established risk factor for mouth, pharynx, esophageal, liver, colorectal, breast and pancreatic cancer," Schenk says.

Exactly how alcohol increases risk is not clearly understood, but "it's possibly related to DNA damage" incurred by the cells after exposure to alcohol, Schenk says.

"In addition, it could be an indirect contributor because calories from alcohol contribute to weight gain." Alcoholic beverages contribute a lot of excess calories that offer no nutritional benefits, so "it's one of those added foods that we need to be limiting," she says.



4- Processed and Packaged Foods

Akhtar says certain processed foods can also raise your risk of developing cancer. "Things like microwaved popcorn have compounds that are linked with cancer." The environmental organization Environmental Working Group raised the alarm about a chemical called PFOA that was used to coat the inside of popcorn bags as a likely carcinogen, prompting the FDA to ban its use in food packaging in 2006.
