- Hot Dogs- Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made withoutsodium nitrate.

- Processed meats and Bacon Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.

- Doughnuts Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.

- Right up there with smoking is the cancer risk that is associated with excessive drinking. We don't mean only those who go on those weekend drinking binges every weekend or alcoholics, we mean anything more than one drink per day for women and two per day for men. The more alcohol you consume over time, the higher your risk is of developing an alcohol related cancer. The American Cancer Society says that excessive alcohol consumption can increase your risk of liver cancer, mouth cancer, bowel cancer, breast cancer, and throat cancer.
