Smart and stupid cancer foods

Posted on Oct 18th 2006 8:00AM by Martha Edwards

This ediets article outlines the 5 best foods to fight and prevent cancer, as well as the 5 worst foods. The best foods are all ones that I've heard before and have incorporated into my diet.

The worst foods kind of surprised me though. While I knew that bad fats would make the list, I didn't think that alcohol and sugary soda would be considered harmful enough to rank in the top 5. I was also surprised by the other two entries: meat wrapped in cellophane and burnt meat. The former has dangerous preservatives and as for the latter, apparently charred meat fat has carcinogenic properties.

The moral of the story: Don't overdo your meat!
