Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
If we actually paid attention to every single "news" item that warned us about cancer-causing foods, we'd probably only be able to drink water. Heck, someone somewhere at some point will probably determine that water causes cancer, too. I wouldn't be surprised.
Still, it's good to know that a common chemical used to flavor processed foods is linked to stomach, liver, and kidney cancers. The chemical is called methyleugenol and is found in common foods like candy, cookies, bubblegum, pumpkin pie, puddings, ice cream, apple butter, chutney, anise biscotti, French toast, ketchup, nutmeg and gingerbread. Although the chemical hasn't been officially found to cause cancer is humans (tests were done on laboratory rats), tests that were done from 1994 to 1998 on humans showed that 98 percent of participating adults had traces of methyleugenol in their blood.
