Do you know the top 10 Carcinogenic Substances?

I'm certain that most everyone would name smoking as the number one source of cancer-causing substances.  I'm not so certain as to how many of us would know how potentially damaging many of the foods we routinely eat are.  Here's a list you might find interesting as the top ten carcinogenic substances:

1.  Any charred food--whether it be burnt popcorn, burnt toast or cooking with    charcoal.
2.  Red meat, in general, but especially over-cooked meat...it's the fat that's the problem.
3.  Refined sugar...substitute coconut palm sugar, stevia, honey or agave.
4.  Lots of salt and hot, spicy foods...moderation is the key.
5.  Soda...besides the obvious high sugar or high artificial sugar content, sodas have been proven to leach minerals...primarily calcium.
6.  Trans fats, aka hydrogenated fats.  These are found in all fried and processed foods.
7.  Artificial sweeteners, particularly aspartame (see April 11 blog).
8.  Excessive alcohol intake.
9.  Acrylamides...chemicals that are produced in foods cooked at very high temperatures.  They are also found in plastics, grouts, water treatment products and cosmetics.  If one is exposed to these products at the work place over a period of time, they cause nerve damage, too.
10. Farm-raised fish...they contain high amounts of PCB's.

So, if one loves to eat fast foods, you are getting charred meat or meat cooked at high temperatures, hydrogenated fats, lots of salt and sugar or artificial sweeteners...a recipe for disaster. 

Oh, now we're exporting this, "recipe for death," to other countries, such as China and India.  If we are patient, we can just kill off the population of other countries whose governments we don't like.
