All foods give you cancer?

If you follow the news it seems that all foods give you cancer and that the incidents of cancer are rapidly growing.

But if we are eating the same foods as we previously did, how come the risk of cancer is now rapidly growing?

Implicated by some campaigners are: Processed meats, tinned foods, fried food, "overcooked" food, eggs, dairy, sugar, artificial sweeteners and alcohol. 

But! Researchers for Cancer Research UK have completely refuted these claims. And casts doubts on certain superfoods as being helpful in warding off cancer.

"Eating eggs does not cause cancer."

"Eating canned or tinned food does not affect cancer risk."

"Eating soy products does not affect cancer risk, including breast cancer."

Obviously eating a healthy diet is important, but many of the claims by some campaigners should be taken with a healthy pinch of salt. And don't get me started on salt! However, seeing as you asked...
