Imagine that your daily plate contains products that, in the long term, harm your health. Without knowing it, we consume foods that, according to some studies, could promote the development of cancer. Preservatives, pesticides, improper cooking… How can we make the right choices? Let’s discover together the foods to limit and the healthier alternatives.
Not so harmless packaging: beware of cans and plastics
It is often forgotten, but our food is not only impacted by its composition , but also by its packaging . Bisphenol A (BPA), present in most cans and plastic containers, is suspected of disrupting the hormonal system and increasing the risk of cancer. To reduce its exposure, choose canned goods labeled “BPA-free” or opt for glass alternatives.
Processed meats: a well-hidden danger
Crispy bacon, sausage, hot dogs… These products are often appreciated for their taste, but they present a worrying risk. Nitrites and nitrates, used to preserve and color these meats, can transform into carcinogenic compounds when cooked at high temperatures. The World Health Organization (WHO) also classifies processed meats among the proven carcinogens . It is preferable to opt for fresh meats and to use natural spices for preservation.
