Top five holiday foods that promote cancer, diabetes, heart disease and premature death

#1) Artificially colored Christmas cookies

If it's artificially colored, it's bad for you. And when it comes to holiday cookies, cakes, muffins and other treats, Americans have been brainwashed into thinking that Christmas time somehow means all their foods should be inundated with synthetic RED and GREEN dyes.

How do you make a batch of Christmas cookies? You take a regular batch of cookies and you dump a bunch of green food coloring in it. Then you put red sprinkles on top, feed 'em to the kids and watch them all climb the walls while their parents scramble to find their ADHD medication.

#2) Anything made with vegetable shortening

Aside from the fact that vegetable shortening is loaded with trans fats -- recently declared "unsafe for human consumption" by the FDA -- it's also a source of cadmium, a toxic heavy metal with a half life of nearly 30 years in the human body.

Beyond that, nearly all vegetable shortening is made from genetically modified soy, meaning that when you buy foods with vegetable shortening, you are financially rewarding Monsanto.

Virtually all store-bought cookies, pie crusts and other holiday treats are made with vegetable shortening. Check food labels for anything made with "partially-hydrogenated soybean oil" or "vegetable shortening."

#3) Processed meats made with cancer-causing sodium nitrite

Beware of holiday processed meats -- especially the ones that require no refrigeration. Did you ever wonder how they last so long in their plastic packaging without rotting? It's because they're blended with sodium nitrite, a cancer-causing chemical that kills bacteria.

Sodium nitrite increases the risk of leukemia, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, brain tumors and more. It's found in nearly all holiday season processed meats, including "gift" sausages and other packaged meats.

If you are crazy enough to actually eat some of these meats, make sure you take plenty of vitamin C with it, because vitamin C helps block the formation of cancer-causing nitrosamines from eating sodium nitrite.

#4) Eggnog drinks made with refined sugars

Watch out for holiday eggnog drinks. They will often combine high-fat dairy liquids with liquid sugars. Some don't even contain eggs, and others are made with high-fructose corn syrup (read the labels to avoid).

Interestingly, the healthiest part about eggnog is the spices. Nutmeg and cinnamon, two spices commonly used in traditional eggnog recipes, are both used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and they both have genuine nutritional value. Unfortunately, most commercial eggnog sold today uses artificial flavors instead of real spices.

If you want to drink eggnog this holiday season, make it yourself! (And don't forget the rum...!)

#5) Stuffing

Check out the ingredients on many commercially-available stuffing products, and you'll find monosodium glutamate.

Yep, many stuffing products are stuffed with MSG, a neurological poison that causes neural cell death. If you stuff your face with stuffing, you're also stuffing your head with an excitotoxin, and that's not good at all, especially considering all the other brain-killing substances people tend to abuse from now through New Year's Eve.

Read labels to make sure you don't buy or consume stuffing made with MSG. Keep your brain cells alive while you got 'em!

Additional warning on Alcohol + Tylenol

There's a lot of drinking that goes on during the holidays, and most people don't realize the extreme danger caused by combining alcohol with Tylenol. It's astonishing that Tylenol is even sold over-the-counter, given how toxic it is to the liver. Taking Tylenol while drinking alcohol can actually cause permanent liver damage and even death.

In general, i think it is anything with excess sugars (which is anything that calls for adding sugar at all) and unhealthy fats, or too much of even healthy fats that will do it for one. And then additives for shelf life or other properties surrounding the food industry. You know, the things that they do to food that they probably shouldn't and that are still bought?

Very interesting!!!!!!!

Hmmmm now i'm HUNGRY again...
lol
MErry Christmas Jeannie !

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!

If I believed everything that was said to cause cancer. then everything would cause cancer. I bet eating cancer causes cancer. I bet in the morning they will say that breathing causes cancer and then half an hour after that they will say that holding your breath causes cancer.

So just eat and do what ever you want. No matter what you're going to get cancer. lol

On a deeper level
Cancer is also about stress and anger and negative karma ..... and also lack of fibre ....
So best eat high fibre foods prunes etc and lots water and try to be a great human
Cancer is in all humans so best live your life in a positive balanced fashion.

Not long ago I watched a stand up comedian who talked about stress causing cancer. What causes stress? Being told that everything causes cancer. lol

There is no getting cancer, everyone who is alive already has it. It is just when it grows uncontollaby or migrates from one location to another that it is considered active and a problem. It is sort of like those scavenger ants. If they just chilled and took up a single corner, som part of a tree trunk, and lived there sustainably, they wouldn't be a major pest at all, just an unpleasant location to lean for a rest! But it is that they ravage pne site of all it's normal life functioning and move onto the next that makes them a real issue. If cancer is mitigated by being universally common, then the real threat lies in it's over active expansion and consumption, and what drives industrial nations more and more is what makes good fuel for cancer, namely fats and sugars combined. It is not a particular product of food item, it is a general mode of consumption that leads to this disease, and premature aging too.
