The same goes for the diet sodas, which are expected to be a healthier option but are actually disrupting our metabolism and increasing the hunger. Dr. London, who has almost 400,000 followers on his TikTok account, refers to soft drinks as to “liquid death.” Except for high amounts of sugar, these drinks contain artificial dyes and preservatives linked to cancer in animal studies.
A better options would be water with fresh fruit slices or smoothies made of whole fruits.
3. Plastic Containers and Bottles with BP
When offering drinks in plastic containers and bottles, there is a chance of Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical often found in these products, to enter the food or drink we consume. Acting as an endocrine disruptor, BPA can mimic the hormone estrogen. This can increase the risk of cancers such as breast and prostate cancer.
Even when a plastic product is marked “BPA-free,” it contains BPS (Bisphenol S), which is as dangerous.
Use glass, stainless steel, or food-safe silicone containers instead and never microwave plastic.
4. Heavily Fried or Charred Foods
Heavily fried or charred foods can produce harmful chemicals like acrylamide and HCAs, which are linked to cancer risk.
Healthier cooking methods include steaming or baking.
5. Talc-Based Baby Powder or Products with Formaldehyde
Many baby powders that use talc have been linked to cancer risks due to possible asbestos contamination. Other baby care products such as wet wipes and shampoos also contain formaldehyde-releasing chemicals, which are considered cancerous.
When choosing what’s best for your child, opt for talc-free and formaldehyde-free products from brands that use natural ingredients.
These small but meaningful choices may reduce the risks of your child being affected with cancer later in life. While growing up, children are more sensitive to toxins and chemicals than adults, so why not do what’s best for them and their health.
