8 Foods You Shouldn't Give to Children

There is no doubt that one of the most important things we need to monitor regarding our children is their nutrition – after all, today we know very well how much the things we put in our mouths significantly affect our health, and this is even more true for our children, who need a regular supply of essential nutrients to develop properly. However, there are quite a few very common foods that we simply don’t realize how harmful they are to our children in a clear and immediate way. There are also many foods that we know are not necessarily healthy, but we don’t suspect the damage they can cause to children in the long term, and therefore, from time to time, we let them eat these foods. To help you understand which foods you should actually get your children to stop eating, or at the very least reduce their consumption as much as possible, we’ve prepared a list of 8 such foods that you should definitely know about. 

1. Children's Yogurts 

Various children's yogurts, offered in colorful packaging with cartoon characters that appeal to little ones – are very popular food products, and most of us also believe they have certain benefits for our children. But the truth is, that’s not entirely accurate – a significant portion of these products contain sugars, food colorings, and other ingredients that, even if present in small amounts that may not necessarily harm adults, can trigger allergies in your young children or, at the very least, cause hyperactive and disruptive behavior, according to a study conducted at the University of Southampton in the UK.

 

 

 

Therefore, instead of industrial children's yogurts that may harm them, prefer serving your children plain white yogurts without added sugar. To adapt them to your children's taste and encourage them to eat them, you can sweeten them by adding a little honey (only if your children are over one year old!) or chopped fruits.

2. Rice Puff Snacks  

Various snacks and breakfast cereals made from rice puffs are certainly common and widespread in the food market, and many children love eating them. So you might be surprised to hear this, but according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), consuming these products may expose your children to high levels of inorganic arsenic – a dangerous compound that is not healthy for humans at all. Since we often give our children cereals and snacks based on rice puffs, their rice consumption is three times higher than that of adults, which can, of course, have a harmful impact on their development and learning abilities. 

 

 

Therefore, to prevent potential harm, it’s recommended to prepare the healthy snacks and breakfast cereals you give your children at home (you can do this together with them) using healthy ingredients that don’t contain arsenic. 

3. Processed Meat Products 

Admittedly, the presence of processed meat products on this list shouldn’t surprise most of you, who likely know that these industrial products have long been considered unhealthy and not nutritious in any way. However, many parents, in moments of weakness or when they don’t have time to prepare a proper meal, give their children such food products, like hamburgers, hot dogs, nuggets, and the like. If you do this to some extent, you should know that according to a study conducted by the American Cancer Society, consuming 50 grams of processed meat per day increases the risk of developing colorectal cancer by 18% – so the harm to your children may not always be immediate, but it can be significant in their adulthood. 

 

The best solution for this issue is to let your children consume fish dishes – even industrial ones, as their impact is still less harmful than that of processed meat products. Of course, the most recommended way to address this is to prepare delicious and nutritious fish dishes for your children yourself.

4. Industrial Ice Creams 

 On hot summer days, many bring home industrial ice creams in family-sized packages from the supermarket, which kids love to devour as much as they want (or until they’re told to stop and the package is taken away). What many of you probably don’t know is that many of these products contain substances called "emulsifiers," which a 2015 study showed interfere with the normal functioning of friendly gut bacteria, leading to obesity – a particularly dangerous phenomenon for children. 

 

Therefore, instead of the industrial ice creams you buy at the supermarket, the recommendation here is to turn the preparation of this sweet treat into a homemade activity you can do with your children. 

5. Potato Chips 

Potato chips, sold in various packages, sizes, and colors, are undoubtedly a salty delight for every child (and quite a few adults), but it’s clear they are not a healthy choice for your children in any way. Although they are made from potatoes – a vegetable with some health benefits – they are also rich in less healthy ingredients and packed with fats, calories, salt, and other things children should avoid, as they are even more harmful to them than to adults. From increased blood pressure that could be fatal later in life, to obesity and kidney stones – you have every reason to limit or completely eliminate your children’s consumption of these industrial snacks. 

 

As with most cases we’ve presented here – if your children love potato chips, the solution isn’t to deny them completely but to know how to prepare them at home in the right way, giving them the benefits of the snack while sparing them its negative effects.

6. Diet Carbonated Drinks  

Many of us are already aware of the dangers of excessive sugar consumption, and to avoid it while still enjoying our favorite carbonated drinks, we switch to their diet versions, which have gained significant popularity in recent years, and we also let our children drink them to reduce their sugar intake. But the truth is that the artificial sweeteners found in large quantities in these diet carbonated drinks don’t have significant advantages over sugar, and they may even cause more harm to you and your children. For example, a study published in 2018 found that aspartame – a common artificial sweetener in industrial diet drinks – restricts essential enzymes in the body that prevent obesity and diabetes, so their consumption by children who drink these beverages without restriction can cause physical harm. 

 

All you need to do to solve this problem while still providing your children with sweet drinks is to let them drink as much freshly squeezed, natural fruit juice as possible.

7. Microwave Popcorn Snacks 

Popcorn in a paper bag, ready in 2-3 minutes after heating in the microwave, is a convenient solution for many of us who want to provide our children with a tasty, salty snack for the hours they’re glued to the TV. But despite the convenience and ease for us as parents, you should know that some of these products’ paper bags contain various harmful chemicals. For example, some paper bags contain perfluorinated compounds, a substance that, when exposed to high heat, can cause the bag to release substances into the food that may harm children’s development and are even linked to the development of certain types of cancer in the future. 

 

Therefore, despite it being a bit more effort, revert to the traditional method of preparing popcorn – by heating corn kernels in a pot with a little olive oil. It takes only 5-7 minutes, it’s just as delicious or even more so, and it will harm your children much less than the microwave version of the snack.

8. Instant Noodles  

Another type of food you should prevent your children from eating, as it won’t benefit them in any way, is instant noodles – the kind where you “pour hot water, stir, and eat.” These products often contain more sodium than the recommended daily intake for a child; furthermore, the noodles in these products are made from white flour and lack fiber or any other nutritional value – so while these meals may fill your children, they certainly won’t nourish them or provide the essential nutrients they so desperately need. 

 

Instead of these instant noodles, which children usually eat for lunch or dinner, it’s recommended to prepare a large batch of whole-wheat pasta for the week in advance, so they can consume it whenever they need a carbohydrate boost. If your children struggle to adapt to the texture of whole-wheat pasta, try mixing regular white flour pasta with whole-wheat pasta at first until they get used to it.

This is only for your information, kindly take the advice of your doctor for medicines, exercises and so on.

Stay Away From These 11 Deadly Foods That Could Cause Cancer

You may know that optimal health starts in the kitchen, and but did you know that diet is at the heart of many cancers?

In fact, up to 70% of cancers are thought to be preventable through diet. The other 30% has to do with genetics and environmental factors that you can’t control.
Still, those are solid odds to encourage better eating! Stick with us for all the foods you would do best to avoid in order to minimize your chances of ever developing cancer.

At the end, we’ll show you an easy way to determine what stuff is actually good to eat.

11. Canned Products
Canned food tends to contain really high levels of salt and/or sugar, but that’s not the main reason it is bad for you. It’s actually the cans that contain the food.

They are often lined with the dangerous chemical BPA, which is a known hormone disrupter that has also been linked to cancer. BPA will leech into whatever food comes in contact with it, especially things that are naturally acidic, such as tomatoes.

Eat your produce fresh or frozen instead, or only buy canned products that are labeled as BPA-free.

10. Soda Pop
We are not telling you anything you don’t already know when we say that soda is bad for you. Sugar is necessary in small amounts, but is also cancer cells’ favorite food, and sodas contain enough to choke a horse.

It also has no redeeming nutritional value and puts you at greater risk of cancer due to the artificial chemicals and colorings that are added. If it’s a caffeine energy boost you need, a much healthier option is lightly sweetened tea or coffee, both of which have anti-cancer properties.

To get the bubbles in soda without the negative health consequences, buy carbonated water and add a touch of citrus juice for flavor.

9. Potato Chips
Chips aren’t healthy because they contain a lot of salt and saturated fat which is overwhelming to your body’s digestive system.

The reason they increase your cancer risk is something called acrylamide, a carcinogenic chemical that occurs anytime food is cooked to a high temperature.

Frying potatoes produces a lot of it, but it’s also the reason why health experts advise against charring your meat during cooking. Acrylamide is also found in cigarettes and is part of the reason they are so deadly.

8. Smoked And Processed Meats
Red meat in general should be limited due to its high fat content, but any meat that has been processed is best avoided almost entirely. That won’t be easy because a lot of tasty products are on the list, including bacon, lunch meat, sausage, jerky, and smoked barbeque.

A lot of these foods are preserved using nitrates and nitrites, which are linked to cancer. And even though smoking is an age-old technique for preserving food, it causes meat to take on tar in the process. It’s bad in cigarettes and just as dangerous in food.

7. Farmed Salmon
You may be wondering what is left that you can eat, especially in terms of protein, but rest assured that fish can still be a very healthy choice. Naturally lean, it contains high levels of the healthy omega-3 fatty acids that your body really needs.

Unfortunately, farmed salmon live an overcrowded, high stress life and are fed an unnatural diet full of antibiotics and cancer-causing chemicals. As a result, their meat is high in PCBs, dioxins, and mercury – all dangerous stuff for humans to consume.

However, wild sockeye salmon is a whole different story, and a great meal choice if you can find it at the grocery store.

6. Microwave Popcorn

Much like canned foods, the problem with microwave popcorn is the way it is stored. Most microwave bags are lined with a product called PFOA, which has been linked to the occurrence of pancreas, kidney, liver, bladder, and testicular cancer.

When you pop the corn in the microwave, PFOA coats the finished product right along with the artificial trans fat “butter”. Popcorn itself can be a healthy snack, however, if you use an air popper and then toss it with a little bit of garlic-infused olive oil or a flavorful dried herb mix.

5. White Flour

Whole grains are very healthy, but the processing that creates refined white flour completely strips away the value. White flour is also given its color by a blast of chlorine gas, not something you want to be eating.

Besides being nutritionally void, white flour has an extremely high glycemic index, which means that it breaks down into sugar in the body, spiking blood glucose and insulin levels along with it. This state in the body is thought to feed cancer cells. Try to stick to baked goods that use whole grain flours.

4. High Fructose Corn Syrup

High fructose corn syrup is dangerous because, even though it comes from natural corn, the sweetness is highly concentrated. Foods that contain it are likely to put your blood sugar through the roof and create the perfect environment for cancer cells to thrive.

It is not thought to cause cancer directly, but it’s dangerous to create conditions in your body that are ideal for cancer to grow. Avoiding packaged foods and cooking at home is the best way to avoid high fructose corn syrup all together.

3. Alcohol

Excess alcohol consumption is bad for you for lots of reasons. Drinking to excess makes your liver and kidneys work extra hard, not to mention triggers a whole host of bad decisions from your stupefied brain.

Studies also indicate that consuming too much alcohol puts you at greater risk for cancer of the mouth, esophagus, liver, colon, and rectum. How much is too much? In general, one drink per day for women and two for men is considered safe, but there’s no real health benefit to drinking at all. Red wine does contain some heart healthy resveratrol, but so do red grapes.

2. Pickled Foods

Pickling is another form of processing that adds nitrates or nitrites, salt, and artificial coloring to food. In much the same way that too much alcohol can cause cancer in the parts of the body it touches directly, pickled foods are linked to cancer of the digestive track, especially the stomach and colon.

If you really love pickles, take the time to make them at home so that you can control the level of salt and avoid artificial pickling solutions.

1. Hydrogenated Oils

You might think that oil from vegetables ought to be healthy, but this is another case where processing of natural products makes them dangerous. Oil cannot be extracted from whole vegetables naturally, so they undergo a chemical extraction process.

Then, the oil is colored and the natural scent is removed to make the finished product look appealing. This chemical process is what makes the oil hydrogenated.

It is found in many processed foods, added for texture and to preserve them, but hydrogenated oils affect the cells’ structure and flexibility, upping the chance for cancer to develop.

Conclusion
Can you sense the common thread in these cancer-causing foods? Yep, they are all highly processed from their natural form into something more convenient or aesthetically pleasing.

Unfortunately, the processing almost always strips the whole food of its nutrients and adds a level of seasoning with sugar and salt that can be quite harmful to human bodies.

The easiest way to cancer-proof your diet is to focus on buying whole foods at the store and cooking at home, so that you control the processing. When you leave the packaged stuff behind, you can be sure that you know exactly what’s going into your body.

21 Healthy Foods That You Should Never Eat

Did you know that there are at least 21 health foods that you should not eat? When we surveyed the list, we were amazed at some of the findings.

Before we address the foods to avoid, let’s look at some alternative choices. A great place to start is with your plate. The more colorful your food, the healthier they are.

Colorful Foods You Should Be Eating

There is a reason why colorful vegetables are good for you. Red vegetables and fruits have many health benefits including soaking up free radicals and reducing certain cancers.

Orange foods protect you from the sun and your greens contain chlorophyll and are loaded with anti-oxidants.

17 Cancer Causing Foods You Have to Stop Eating

You are likely aware that eating junk food is a major risk factor for cancer. But did you know that some so-called health foods are actually carcinogens in disguise?

Or that certain ingredients found in virtually all packaged foods present a serious health risk?
By being an informed consumer, we can help influence for good the types of products that end up on our grocery shelves, and enjoy better health to boot.

Read on to discover 17 very common foods known to increase cancer risk, along with some healthier alternatives.

1. Soda
Not only is soda jampacked with sugar – cancer’s fuel of choice – but it often also contains caramel color. This artificial coloring has the carcinogenic chemical 4-MEI as a byproduct. Laboratory tests show that 4-MEI shows up in sodas with caramel color.
Alternatives – Water is always best, but if you really crave the sweet, bubbly hit of soda, choose a natural brand without caramel color.

2. Grilled red meat
While a nice char on that steak may taste good, the high temperatures used for its cooking produce cancer-causing hydrocarbons. And excessive consumption of red meat in general is thought to up your cancer risk..
Alternatives – Eat red meat sparingly, cook it carefully, and choose organic, grass fed beef if possible.

3. Microwave popcorn
There’s a triple whammy here – the butter flavoring used in many microwave popcorn brands releases diacetyl, a known toxin, when cooked. Next, the perfluorooctanoic acid that lines the bags themselves is carcinogenic. And finally, popcorn producers are not required to report whether or not their kernels are GMO.
Alternatives – Buy organic kernels and pop them in an air popper or on your stove.

4.Canned foods
Canned foods are dangerous because the cans are lined with the chemical BPA, a known hormone disrupter. Canned tomatoes are especially problematic because their acidity causes the BPA to leach into the food. Tomatoes in general are very healthy; it’s the packaging that’s the problem here.
Alternatives – Eat fresh or frozen produce.


5. Hydrogenated oils
Vegetable oils are not extracted from their source naturally, but instead must undergo a chemical process. Later, even more chemicals are added to achieve the desired look and consistency of the product, resulting in an extremely high level of unhealthy omega-6 fats.
Alternatives – Choose olive, soy, or canola oil instead; these oils are naturally extracted.

6.Farmed salmon
Though wild-caught salmon is one of the healthiest proteins you can eat, the farmed version is fed an unnatural diet full of chemicals, pesticides, and antibiotics. They are also fattier than wild-caught, and therefore store more of the bad stuff in their bodies.
Alternatives – Eat wild-caught salmon or augment your diet with a purified fish oil supplement.

7. Artificial sweeteners
Most artificial sweeteners are produced by a chemical process, and there isn’t enough data to really deem them safe. Some studies suggest that artificial sweeteners cause the toxin DKP to build up in the body and potentially cause brain tumors.
Alternatives – If you must use sweetener, choose plant-based Stevia. Certain recipes can also substitute applesauce for sweetener.

8. Refined white flour
The refining process strips away all nutritional value from the original wheat. Even worse, the flour is then bleached with chlorine gas to achieve that appealing white color. White flour is a carbohydrate that breaks down into simple sugar, cancer’s preferred fuel.
Alternatives – Choose unbleached, whole wheat flour for your cooking, and read labels carefully to determine how much of the white stuff is in packaged products.

9. Non-organic fruits and vegetables
The fruits and veggies themselves are extremely healthy, but the pesticides sprayed on them are anything but. Altrazine, for example, is a weed-killer that has been banned in Europe for causing severe problems in humans, but is still commonly used in the U.S.
Alternatives – Buy organic as much as you can, and carefully wash all produce before eating.

10. Processed meat
This includes things like bacon, hot dogs, sausage, and deli meats. The processing often adds huge amounts of salt as well as dangerous chemicals, especially nitrate and nitrite. The additives are intended to make the food look nicer and last longer, but carry a steep risk to your health.
Alternatives – Eat mostly fresh, organic meats and look for other products with minimal processing and no preservatives.

11. Potato chips
Potato chips are offenders for several reasons. One, they are fried in trans fats, and two, they are loaded with salt. Many varieties also have preservatives and artificial coloring.
Alternatives – Pretzels, air popped popcorn, dried apple or banana chips.

12. GMO Foods
There is fierce debate about the safety of GMO foods. Huge food producers like GMO products because they have been modified to better resist pests, be easier to transport, and last longer. However, very little safety testing was done before the foods hit shelves, and we have no idea of their long-term health effects.
Alternatives – Organic produce and meats; packaged foods with a Non-GMO label.

13. Alcohol
Studies by the National Cancer Institute have shown a link between alcohol consumption and cancers of the head and neck, esophagus, liver, breast, and colon.
Alternatives – If you are not ready to quit entirely, keep your alcohol consumption in the low risk category – no more than 3 drinks in a sitting for women and 4 drinks in a sitting for men, with no more than 7 drinks total per week for women and 14 total per week for men.

14. Refined sugars
The worst offender in this category is high fructose corn syrup, and it’s in a ton of processed foods and drinks. For example, you’ll find 15 teaspoons of the stuff in one 20 oz soda! As we know, cancer loves to feed on sugar.
Alternatives – Always scan the ingredients list when buying packaged food; the sugar content will surprise you. Satisfy your sweet tooth with whole fruit rather than candy.

15. Margarine

Margarine was supposed to be a healthier alternative to butter, but as it turns out, margarine is made from hydrogenated vegetable oils and is full of trans fats. Recent studies have suggested that trans fats are way more dangerous than the saturated fats found in butter.
Alternatives – Still go easy on the butter, but choose it over margarine. Olive oil flavored with herbs is also a nice topping for bread or veggies.

16. Diet foods
This one’s a real kick in the teeth – you think you’re making a smart choice by purchasing “diet” foods, but in reality these products are often jammed with extra sugar or artificial sweeteners to replace any fat that’s removed. They may also contain various chemicals designed to get you hooked and coming back for more.
Alternatives – Eat fresh, whole foods rather than packaged diet meals.

17.French fries
French fries taste so good, but being fried in trans fats and then heavily salted makes them a real cancer risk. Foods heated to such a high temperature also produce acrylamide, a known carcinogen found in cigarette smoke.
Alternatives – Check out some recipes for baked fries; using flavorful spices and olive oil produces a very tasty and much healthier side dish.

CONCLUSION
It’s easy to be overwhelmed by information on the good and the bad in food choices.
But luckily it can all be boiled down into some simple guidelines. Simply shifting your mealtime balance towards whole foods (away from packaged products) and skipping the sodas will make a huge difference in cancer risk.
