6 Foods That Can Take Years Away From Your Life



by Katherine Crawford


Never has nutrition been so confusing for the average person. There are tons of new diets being released every year and tons of new supplements.

The problem here is that a lot of what is being recommended has been shown to decrease quality of life within peer reviewed research.

Thus, here are 6 nutritional elements that will decrease your life span:

1. Deli meat: Even if it's low fat, this stuff is really unhealthy for you. You see, when deli meat is processed it usually has preservatives added to it. And these preservatives have been shown to increase colon cancer risk. So stay away from meat that is processed even if it's low fat.

2. Overcooked meat or protein sources: Any time you burn a food item to the point of blackness, you increase cancer risk. So never overcook your protein or any other food item. Always strive to cook with moderate levels of heat.

3. Fish oil: Although fish oil is one of the healthiest things you can eat, in excess it becomes very unhealthy. In fact, too much fish oil here will increase your risk of heart oxidation. Moreover, it can increase bruising and bleeding times.

4. Frying and cooking fumes: A study from China showed that households who cooked with a lot of fumes had higher lung cancer rates. You see, fumes from food cooking and burning are horrible for your respiratory system.

5. Fiber: In supplemental form, fiber has been shown to increase rates of colon cancer. Although we don't know the exact mechanism here, it may be due to a lack of anti oxidants present in supplemental fiber. So always get your fiber from vegetables.

6. Fake sugar: Fake sugar or artificial sweeteners have been shown to produce unfavorable results within the human body. You see, fake sugar can become mutagenic when consumed in high doses. And nobody knows if long term consumption is safe.

Unfortunately, in this day and age it's virtually impossible to avoid toxins. However, you can take vital steps to reduce the toxic load on your body!
