Eating hot dogs and the risk of cancer – maybe they need a warning label

 If you're eating a hot dog a day, you might be biting off more than you are willing to swallow when it comes to your health

Studies show the noble wieners cause cancer

Labor Day is the last day of summer vacation, but it is also a time when American families celebrate outdoor BBQ with hot dogs.

When I started doing my research in food to regain my health, I also learned that the long coveted wieners are not good for us. It is hard believe, and a lot of people can not give up this easy and fast food on the grill.

Several different studies show that hot dogs can cause cancer.

The dangers of processed meats, especially hot dogs are real and significant.
Eating a hot dog every day can increase your risk of colorectal cancer (colon and rectum) by 21 percent. It’s as bad for you as smoking.

Hot dogs come in all sorts of mixtures: beef, chicken, turkey, pork, low fat, and organic dogs. Usually other names or claims are used to make us believe that what we are buying is a nutritious food.

Eating one hotdog a day increases your risk of cancer.

So if your answered “No” to our simple question, “Are hot dogs good for your health? You get an “A” for the day, because you’re absolutely correct.

Additionally, you might want to note that processed red meat is linked to an increased risk of prostate cancer with every 10 grams (0.33 oz) you consume. Eating cured and smoked meat can increase a child’s risk for leukemia. A study in Australia found that women’s risk for ovarian cancer increased as a result of eating processed meats.

Additives like nitrites and nitrates are linked to all different kinds of cancers.

These additives are used in processing meats to make hot dogs to enhance the color and taste. They also kill bacteria and prevent botulism.

Botulism: is a toxin that enters the body by ingesting it from foods, which leads to paralysis of muscles.

Food for thought: Now if you buy "nitrite or nitrate free" hot dogs or other processed meats read the label and look for "celery powder or celery juice". These are also used to preserve the product, but they both have good doses of nitrates. If these additives are NOT on the label, then they are safe to eat.

There are plenty of other nutritious foods you can fix in a hurry and still keep the atmosphere of an outdoor BBQ. It will also give you a peace of mind know you’re eating healthier, too.
