35-Year-Old Man’s Sore Throat Turned into Cancer — Doctor Urges: Remove These 2 Items From Your Fridge Now
He meant processed meats and sugary beverages — two common staples found in most households… and two dietary habits that may have quietly fueled Minh’s illness.
🔍 The Two Dangerous Items Doctors Want You to Remove
1. Processed Meats
(Bacon, ham, sausages, hot dogs, deli meats)
🔍 Why They’re Risky:
Contain nitrates and nitrites — preservatives that prevent spoilage and enhance color.
In the body, these can convert into N-nitroso compounds, which are known carcinogens.
When cooked at high heat (grilled, fried), they form heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) — both linked to cancer.
