>2. Processed meats and bacon
>Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other

>Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with

>at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acrylamides which
>occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not
>French fries, said Adams .

>5. Chips, crackers, and cookies
>All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels
>claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of
