25 Cancer Causing Foods You Probably Eat Every Day

12.BBQ brisket

Burnt ends have become a barbecue classic, but there are many carcinogens associated with them. Red meat cooked to a crisp and coated in sweet BBQ sauce? It's best to braise your brisket and enjoy it in small amounts to avoid the health hazards here.

13.Bacon

Bacon is one of the worst offenders of nitrates. It also contains a non-negligible amount of saturated fat and salt, and some brands contain quite a bit of sugar. Beyond that, many of us like our bacon to be crispy, and bacon is certainly a pretty carcinogenic option.

14.Deli ham

Deli meat is usually cured with nitrates. Nitrates produce carcinogenic compounds called nitrosamines. Braise a pork at home and slice it thinly for sandwiches.
