More and more people are diagnosed with cancer every year. If we took better care of ourselves, fewer of us would suffer from it. Start with improving your eating habits – avoid products that harm you:

1. Microwave Popcorn

Popcorn is loved and consumed by people of various ages. It is quite easy and very convenient to prepare microwave popcorn. However, this is one of the foods to avoid if you want to stay healthy. The problem is that the bags that popcorn is sold in are lined with PFOA or, in other words, perfluorooctanoic acid. The same chemical is found in Teflon. It has been proved that PFOA leads to female infertility and greatly increases the risk of various cancers, such as pancreas, liver, bladder and kidney. Besides, many brands of microwave popcorn cause lung cancer due to diacetyl.

2. Alcohol

Alcohol should be consumed in moderation. It’s even better to exclude it from your life forever. Most of us enjoy a good drink sometimes, but we do not always realize that we overdose it. Alcohol causes too many problems and leads to several kinds of cancers, obesity and diabetes. It has been recently estimated that women who consumed a drink per day had a 30 per cent increase in breast cancer. After tobacco alcohol takes the second major cause of cancer. It is also the main cause of rectum, mouth, colon, liver, esophagus and mouth cancers.
