Quiz: Which Food is a Top-Rated Cancer Causer?

By

Take the Food Quiz:

  1. What may you be eating that's classified in the same cancer-causing category as asbestos, arsenic and cigarettes?
  2. What foods being served in all of mainstream America are ranked in the highest of five possible categories of cancer-causing substances?
  3. What popular foods has the American Institute of Cancer Research warned us that we should totally avoid?
  4.  What one serving of food can raise your risk of colon cancer by 18% (and who stops at just ONE)?
  5.  What foods being served at many cancer fundraisers are ironically the same foods that cause cancer?

The answers are found here, my friends, and I pray that you'll take this message to heart.  No food is worth the risk of hearing "I'm sorry, you have cancer."

“Don’t become so well adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking.  Instead, fix your attention on God.  You’ll be changed from the inside out.”  (Romans 12:2a, MSG)

 

Hot dogs, pepperoni, bacon, sausage, jerky – really worth cancer?

By

Did you see the headlines last week scrolling across the bottom of the news channels or being posted on line?  The World Health Organization (WHO) reported in The Lancet that processed meats are "carcinogenic to humans" and ranked them in the top cancer risk category (the same category as asbestos, tobacco and arsenic).  Processed meats include hot dogs, bacon, ham, sausages, corned beef, jerky, canned meats.....anything that's been salted, cured, fermented or smoked.   Red meats such as beef, veal, lamb and pork were rated "2a - Probably causes cancer."

The American Institute for Cancer Research supports this research and hopes it will spread the message "that what we eat plays a role in cancer risk."

Those of us who follow a whole foods, plant-based diet have been talking about this for years.  Hot dogs, bacon, and meat lovers pizza - with sausage and pepperoni -  are constantly advertised on TV.   And having recently attended a German Festival, believe me when I say that sausage is alive and well.

Will this report finally get people's attention?  Or will the news be ignored while processed meats are even served at cancer fundraisers?  I'm praying for the former.
