Packed with healthy chemicals like flavonoids and theobromine, this little bean is a disease-killing bullet. The only problem? Cacao on its own is bitter, chalky, nasty stuff. Enter milk, sugar, and butter—good for your taste buds, not always good for your health. Besides adding calories, these can dilute the benefits of cacao. So snack smart: Stick to healthy chocolate with at least 70 percent cacao (or cocoa, which is cacao in its roasted, ground form).

These substances are found in many other foods but beef jerky has much more of them per ounce than many other foods. Therefore, you should make your own beef jerky using grass-fed ground beef rolled out thin using a rolling pin, and baked in the oven for hours at the lowest temperature.

Cancer-Causing Agent: Nitrites found in beef jerky are associated with cancer development, and they are added to give the jerky its color and also to keep it fresh for months.

Therefore, you should opt for fresh or frozen food, or buy canned food which is BPA-free. Cancer-Causing Agent: Bisphenol-A . GMO Foods GMO treated food contains herbicides and pesticides which have been shown to cause cancer and lead to development of many other diseases.

Cancer-Causing Agent: herbicides and pesticides. Cola Cola contains High Fructose Corn Syrup which gives the soda its brown color.

However, FDA claims that there is no sufficient evidence to support this theory. Fried Snacks Fried snacks are absolutely delicious, but carcinogenic as well. These snacks have previously been deep fried, just like French fries, in order to make it crispy .
