DIRTY DOZEN CANCEROUS FOODS

PREFACE
This book is intended for common public who will be
awakened by following simple steps to research before
following blindly to advertisement placed in TV, News media
and sometimes even supported by medical entities by not
opposing to food industry as they could and also sometimes
institutions which are supposed to help, instead help
industries either knowingly or unknowingly.
I hope that you will do research before blindly following not
only your food habits, TV, News but also sometimes to
medical caretakers including hospitals.









DIRTY DOZEN CANCEROUS FOODS
CHALLENGES AND STATISTICS
Story starts with all of us at tender age first fed by artificial
milk like Similac or Soya milk soon after birth. There is
tendency for many mothers to start feeding breast milk and I
hope this will catch on like fire. In self driven consumerism
where definition of being a women or men are dissipating
very fast by choice not by birth, It is perplexing to know if this
is part of open mind where sex and money rules or
prevalence of growing LGBT community is natures way of
preventing unintended pregnancies and birth.
According to a study in the current issue[5] of the Journal of
Patient Safety states that each year preventable medical
error are responsible for 210,000 and 440,000 death[22] in
hospital in USA. This makes medical errors the third-leading
cause of death in America [23], behind heart disease, which is
the first And cancer[6], which is second.
Prescription drug abuse causes the largest percentage of
deaths from drug overdosing. Of the 22,400 drug overdose
deaths in the US in 2005, opioid painkillers were the most
commonly found drug, accounting for 38.2% of these deaths.
There are challenging problem of regulation by FDA due to
staffing issues, under or over regulation and risk involving of
potentially getting way to problem associated with Vioxx and
Avandia like drugs approval or risk of overprice of drugs for
consumers if FDA overregulate. A big hurdle for FDA is
politics as happens for all government agencies all over world
DIRTY DOZEN CANCEROUS FOODS
that led to use the word like voluntary removal of many
harmful artificial food colors even after knowing potential
risk
[9]
. On April 10, 2008, the Food Standards Agency called
for a voluntary removal of the colors (but not sodium
benzoate) by 2009.
[7]
In addition, it recommended that there
should be action to phase them out in food and drink in the
European Union (EU) over a specified period.
[8]

Although it is easy to blame government, industries,
politicians but we must not forget that we as people are
responsible for electing leaders, senator, politicians, who are
responsible for all rules and regulation. We must not forget
that voting rate is dismal when it comes to vote. We must
not forget that we as person are responsible to do thorough
research before buying any product and we all are
responsible for our fate. Heard about KARMA? Yes.
It is equally challenging for medical communities to survive
when their overhead expense is on rise with dwindling and
decreasing payment for service rendered. Many people do
know that medical insurance is increasing every year but that
are blindfolded when it comes to many new technologies
used in healthcare are modern, safer and expensive. It is so
easy to see people are so impatient not to wait for simple
viral fever or simple cough illnesses to resolve in few days
and seek Doctors help, thus using more services than really
needed. And insurance industry had to start more copay and
deductibles to counter that. Not only that people do bad
choice to become obese by eating healthy products like ice
cream, cake, sodas, too much milk, filling their grocery basket
DIRTY DOZEN CANCEROUS FOODS
with full of bad products and not eating salads and fruits and
not doing exercise to lose weight.
Although medical providers needs to be extremely careful
not to harm patient if they cannot benefit as per Oath but
many times medical lawsuit are a reason for doing
unnecessary tests, referrals to specialist, procedures that is
also major cause of medical insurance to go up. Many
cancers, Diabetes Mellitus type 2, Heart disease are related
to things we put in stomach or nicotine use and they are
easily preventable but who care as it is pleasurable at
present time. One cannot do blame game as this is not
solution as we as Americans must know better.
Many times people ask for unnecessary referral to specialist
and when they go to specialist, they ask for complete cure
which is not possible many times if a person does not do
what he or she is supposed to do, be a proactive for its own
health and stop babysitting. Nonetheless I have seen few
medical specialists, to do unnecessary procedures for
possible monitory gain which sometimes are again due to
pressure from patient itself.
Therefore I felt a need to help all of us combined to
understand and help each other instead playing blame game.
Some of recommendations I am giving are not quote
unquote FDA approved so please talk to your medical
provider. This book is not intended to diagnose or treat
DIRTY DOZEN CANCEROUS FOODS
medical diseases but knowledge to help do correct for you
and all of us.

DIRTY FOODS TO STAY AWAY
Genetically-modified organisms (GMOs)
Stay away from corn, soybean because more than 89% of
Soybean and corn in USA are GMO, which does not have
enough research and considered controversial. Europe bans
GMO to animals that are used as meat or milk.
Processed meats

DIRTY DOZEN CANCEROUS FOODS
Most processed meat products, including lunch meats,
bacon, sausage, and hot dogs, contain chemical preservatives
that make them appear fresh and appealing, but that can
also cause cancer. Both sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate
have been linked to significantly increasing the risk of colon
and other forms of cancer, so be sure to choose only uncured
meat products made without nitrates, and preferably from
grass-fed sources. You must know that in USA, meat products
are protected by radiation.
Microwave popcorn
They might be convenient, but those bags of microwave
popcorn are lined with chemicals that are linked to causing
not only infertility but also liver, testicular, and pancreatic
cancers. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
recognizes the perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in microwave
popcorn bag linings as likely carcinogenic, and several
independent studies have linked the chemical to causing
tumors. Similarly, the diacetyl chemical used in the popcorn
itself is linked to causing both lung damage and cancer. It is
known as Popcorn Lung.
Soda pop
Like processed meats, soda pop has been shown to cause
cancer as well. Loaded with sugar, food chemicals, and
colorings, soda pop acidifies the body and literally feeds
cancer cells. Common soda pop chemicals like caramel color
DIRTY DOZEN CANCEROUS FOODS
and its derivative 4-methylimidazole (4-MI) have also
specifically been linked to causing cancer.
A study out of Arizona State University that was published in
the Journal of Applied Nutrition determined that Aspartame
causes brain damage by leaving traces of Methanol in the
blood(14). Another study published in the U.S. National
Library of Medicine determined that long term consumption
of Aspartame leads to an imbalance in the antioxidant/pro-
oxidant status in the brain(15). A study published by
Washington University Medical School outlines a possible
connection between aspartame and brain tumors(16)
The brain isnt the only thing in question when it comes to
aspartame. A recent study linked aspartame to Lymphoma
and Leukemia(17)(18). The study was published at the
beginning of December in 2012, conducted by the
Department of Medicine at Bringham Womens Hospital and
Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA. The study was a
follow up after a 22 year period of data collection including
frequent dietary and health check ups of the study group and
was published in the The American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition.
A study published in the Clinical Journal of the American
Society of Nephrology determined that sugar sweetened
soda increases the odds for kidney function decline(19).
3,318 women participated in the study for a number of years
as they consumed diet soda that contained artificial
sweeteners, most notably aspartame. Two or more diet
DIRTY DOZEN CANCEROUS FOODS
drinks a day led to a double risk in fast-paced kidney decline.
The study was conducted by scientists from Brigham and
Womens Hospital in Boston.
Aspartame clearly has the potential to be harmful to human
health after examining multiple studies, it seems safe to say
that aspartame is indeed hazardous to human health
[20] [21]
.
Diet foods, beverages
Even worse than conventional sugar-sweetened soda pop,
though, is diet soda pop and various other diet beverages
and foods. A recent scientific review issued by the European
Food Safety Authority (EFSA) of more than 20 separate
research studies found that aspartame, one of the most
common artificial sweeteners, causes a range of illnesses
including birth defects and cancer. Sucralose (Splenda),
saccharin and various other artificial sweeteners have also
been linked to causing cancer.
Refined white flours
Refined flour is as per journal Cancer Epidemiology, Mile
Markers, and Prevention was linked to a 220 percent
increase in breast cancer among women.
7) Refined sugars-USE JAGGERY INSTEAD. NO WHITE SUGAR
AT ALL.
Fructose-rich sweeteners like high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS)
are particularly offensive, as cancer cells have been shown to
DIRTY DOZEN CANCEROUS FOODS
quickly and easily metabolize them in order to proliferate.
And since cookies, cakes, pies, sodas, juices, sauces, cereals,
and many other popular, mostly processed, food items are
loaded with HFCS and other refined sugars, this helps explain
why cancer rates are on the rise these days.
8) Many non organic fruits could harbor cancer-causing
pesticides. So if you can not avoid peel off skin of apple etc.
9) Farmed salmon
Farmed salmon is another high-risk cancer food, according to
Dr. David Carpenter, Director of the Institute for Health and
the Environment at the University of Albany. It is often
contaminated with carcinogenic chemicals, PCBs
(polychlorinated biphenyls), flame retardants, pesticides, and
antibiotics.
10) Hydrogenated oils-DO NOT USE GENETIC MODIFIED OILS
LIKE CANOLA OIL AND USE OLIVE OIL, MUSTARD OIL
INSTEAD. I am against CORN,SOYA oil because og their origin
from GMO seeds. INDIAN GHEE IS GOOD TO EAT 1
TEASPOONFUL/DAY.
1. BHA (Butylated Hydroxyanisole) and BHT (Butylated
Hydroxytoluene)
DIRTY DOZEN CANCEROUS FOODS

Many chips, sausages and cereals contain butylated
hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytoluene in their
ingredient lists. The waxy substances act as preservatives,
keeping foods from becoming rancid. While BHA and BHT
have been generally recognized as safe by the U.S. FDA,
they remain controversial. Both substances may have some
disease-fighting properties, but theyve also been shown to
raise cancer risks in animal tests, according to the U.S.
National Toxicology Program. Both BHA and BHT are banned
from foods in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan and
throughout Europe.
2. Azodicarbonamide

DIRTY DOZEN CANCEROUS FOODS
In the U.S., its also used to enhance texture of soft white
breads, including hamburger buns at McDonalds and Burger
King. Azodicarbonamide is banned in Australia, the U.K. and
European countries. Whats more, if you add
azodicarbonamide to food in Singapore, you could face up to
15 years in prison and a nearly $500,000 fine. Why? Because
it can interfere with respiratory health, causing allergic
reactions and asthma in some people. To maintain easy
breathing, be sure to choose baked goods that do not list
azodicarbonamide as an ingredient.
3. Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone and Recombinant
Bovine Somatropin

To increase milk production in cows, many U.S. dairy farmers
have turned to recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH)
and recombinant bovine somatropin (rBST). The use of these
DIRTY DOZEN CANCEROUS FOODS
synthetic hormones is not permitted in the European Union,
Canada, and some other countries, due to human and animal
health risks. According to the American Cancer Society, cows
treated with rBGH tend to develop more udder infections
(mastitis). These cows are given more antibiotics than cows
not given rBGH, and this increased use of antibiotics might
lead to more antibiotic-resistant bacteria which could pose a
health concern for people. To dodge these controversial
chemicals try buying milk labeled rBGH/rBST-free or organic
milk.
