Acrylamide in Grains Causes Cancer
Natural Cellular Defense destroys 100% of cancer cells in the human body.
How do cancer cells form? One way is through carcinogens in the foods we eat.
Some of the most carcinogenic foods on Earth are cooked grains.
Cooked grains (bread, pasta, wheat, breakfast cereals, rice, etc...) creates a chemical called acrylamide.
Acrylamide is classified as a "probable" cancer-causing chemical with no safe dose.
If you eat cooked & processed grains, you need Natural Cellular Defense.
How can you safely prepare grains?
The correct way to prepare grains is to first soak them for 8 hours or more. This removes the "enzyme inhibitors" and some "anti-nutrient" chemicals that prevent other nutrients from being absorbed in the body.
After the grains are soaked, you may now sprout them for a couple days. You may ferment them such as sourdough bread is traditionally fermented.

"More on Cancer Chemical in Cooked Food"
By Robert Uhlig
A worldwide alert was issued after scientists announced that much of the food we eat contains a chemical known to cause cancer, damage the nervous system and affect fertility.
The Food Standards Agency said that its scientists had confirmed recent Swedish findings that "significant levels" of acrylamide occurs in fried, baked and processed foods ranging from biscuits, bread and crisps to chips and possibly meat.
The finding has the potential to change the way certain types of food are viewed, in much the same way that studies in the 1960s changed perception of the health risks of smoking.
Acrylamide causes gene mutations leading to a range of cancers in rats, including breast cancer, uterine cancer and tambours in the adrenal glands and the internal lining of the scrotum.
Among the products tested in the British study - some of which had levels of acrylamide 1,280 times higher than international safety limits - were chipped and fried supermarket potatoes, Walkers crisps, crackers, Kellogg's Rice Crispies and Pringles crisps.
The results have so alarmed health experts that they have called international meetings to discuss what should be done.
The British and Swedish findings were presented yesterday to the Scientific Committee on Food that advises the European Commission on food safety.
World Health Organization experts will discuss the research at a special meeting in Geneva next month. It is expected to recommend further studies.
According to the findings, acrylamide forms naturally in food when it is fried or baked. The scientists believe it also occurs in roasted, grilled and barbecued food.
As a genotoxic carcinogen, acrylamide is classified as a "probable" cancer-causing chemical with no safe dose.
Diane Benford, a toxicologist at the FSA, said: "We cannot define a safe level. We have to assume that at any level of exposure there may be some risk, albeit very small."
With 30 to 40 per cent of cancers caused by diet, Dr Benford said that it was too early to say whether acrylamide was one of the major causes of cancer.
Dr Benford said: "We are not advising any changes of diet or cooking procedures because we do not know enough yet."
Steve Wearne, head of contaminants at the FSA, said: "It's about any food that's cooked this way. It appears that any of these cooking processes in food production can lead to acrylamide forming. It's not clear what the factors are that lead to acrylamide formation; it may be due to the type of cooking, temperature, or chemical composition of the food, or other factors."
