Summary:
Modern science has developed a way for us to now begin to understand what foods and ingredients in processed foods can cause cancer, these are known as carcinogens. There are a few major offenders: hot dogs, doughnuts, French fries, cookies/ crackers/ chips, and processed meat/ bacon. These foods are known to have hydrogenated oils (helps to preserve food, and simultaneously add trans fat to it), acrylamides (what forms when starchy food is subjected to very high temperatures), or sodium nitrate (used to make meat look fresh, and doesn't have to be put on the ingredients list) which all have been found to cause cancer.
By looking more closely at the ingredients in our food as well as making attempts to regularly get vigorous exercise and stay hydrated, we can potentially prevent cancer. According to the World Health Organization, we can prevent up to 70 percent of cancers with these diet and lifestyle changes.

Connection:
This connects to both our cells unit and matter & energy unit. Our matter and energy unit discussed fatty acids having to due with the macromolecule lipid. One of the points in the cell unit was about cancer and how cells mutate and divide more than they should. Chemotherapy and radiation can treat cancer, but this article proves that we can make attempts to prevent it.
