1. Smoked and Cured Meats
Cured and preserved meats are extremely harmful. They are maintained by nitrates and nitrites, which are cancer-causing compounds in the body.
Other chemicals, notably sodium, contribute to high blood pressure and migraines. And that’s not even mentioning the artery-clogging grease. Meats such as sausage and hot dogs can contain up to 50% fat by weight, according to federal regulations.
