According to medical experts, cancer is a complex set of diseases, which might be a result of various factors, such as: genetics, specific infections, poor lifestyle habits, like poor diet, physical inactivity, tobacco, and alcohol use and environmental exposure to various types of chemicals and radiation.

These factors have been scientifically proven to raise the risk of cancer.

The World Cancer Research Fund estimated that around 20% of the total American cancer patients are linked to weight gain, poor diet, physical inactivity, and excess consumption of alcohol.

Fortunately, cancer can be prevented, and the risk of this disease is reduced by:

• Regular exercise
• Maintaining a healthy body weight
• Avoidance of smoking
• A diet rich in organic vegetables and fruits

The following 8 foods are extremely harmful and can increase the cancer risk:

Refined and Artificial Sugary Foods

The excessive consumption of foods rich in refined sugar and artificial fructose sweeteners, such as high-fructose corn syrup causes the development of numerous health problems.

These foods increase insulin levels and boost cancer cell growth. The American Society for Clinical Nutrition journal published a study in 2006 which showed that the participants who consumed higher amounts of sugar-sweetened foods had an increased risk of pancreatic cancer.

Therefore, make sure you replace these foods with healthy and natural alternatives like stevia, raw honey, maple syrup, blackstrap molasses, or jaggery.

White Flour

Numerous processed foods these days are high in refined white flour, which is rich in carbohydrates, which negatively affect health, raise the blood sugar levels and raise the cancer risk.

Studies have shown that women who consumed excessive amounts of carbohydrates had an increased risk of breast cancer. Therefore, substitute refined white flour with healthier alternatives like whole- wheat, almond, quinoa,  or barley flour.

Smoked and Pickled Foods

The regular consumption of pickled and smoked foods endangers health, as the smoking process of smoked meats leaves numerous toxic ingredients in the meat, while pickled foods are high in nitrates which are transformed into N-nitroso, an ingredient which raises the cancer risk.

Plus, these foods are abundant in preservatives which ensure a longer shelf life and lead to cellular damage and cancer development. Hence, we recommend avoiding them completely.

Red and Processed Meat

Processed meats like ham, sausages, and bacon, are rich in harmful preservatives and salt.  Researchers have found that the excess intake of processed meat might lead to colorectal cancer.

The excessive intake of red meat raises the chances of developing prostate and colorectal cancer as well. Therefore, make sure you consume grass-fed meat only.

Farmed Salmon

Farmed and wild salmon are two types with huge differences, as the latter offers numerous health benefits, while the first poses serious health risks.

The consumption of farmed salmon might, in fact, cause cancer.

Researchers have found that farmed salmon contain significantly higher levels of harmful chemicals and cancer-promoting ingredients, like mercury, dioxins, toxaphene, flame retardants, and polychlorinated biphenyls.

Hydrogenated Oils

Hydrogenated oils are converted into poisons when processed and manufactured. These oils are actually chemically extracted from vegetables in order to preserve and prolong the shelf life of processed foods.

Yet, they are high in trans fats and omega–6 fatty acids.

The small amount of these acids might be beneficial for health, but the higher amounts negatively affect the membrane’s structure and flexibility of cells, thus raising the risk of numerous cancer types, including skin cancer.

Trans fats, on the other hand, increase the risk of breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer. Therefore, you should use extra virgin coconut or olive oil instead.

Potato Chips

Potato chips are produced at extremely high temperatures, which causes the creation of acrylamide, a popular carcinogen.

According to a study published by the National Cancer Institute, this ingredient raises the risk of developing ovarian, breast, prostate, and digestive tract cancer.

Potato chips are also rich in calories and fats which raise the blood pressure and cholesterol levels and lead to obesity.

Potato chips are also rich in artificial flavors and preservatives, so make sure you avoid them and replace them with homemade ones prepared in olive oil.

Moreover, you should definitely try baked banana or apple chips as well.

Microwave Popcorn

Microwave popcorn bags contain an extremely toxic chemical known as perfluorooctanoic acid, which has been found to raise the risk of kidney and bladder cancer and cause impaired fertility in women.

These products are also rich in numerous GMO products and preservatives, such as propyl gallate.

When Lorne Michaels created Saturday Night Live in 1975, there was no way he could have imagined the profound effect the show would have on millions of people in the next 50 years. In its five decades on the air, SNL has made us laugh, made us cry, and sometimes made us do a double take. Some of comedy’s best have graced the stage at 30 Rockefeller Plaza and made us laugh until it hurt. NBC celebrated Lorne and his iconic show on February 16. Many familiar faces came back to perform and say thank you on the SNL50 special, including Adam Sandler. Fans love Adam for his songs and last night’s was a true masterpiece.

Adam Sandler Remembered All The Best During His ‘SNL50’ Performance

It’s easy to see why they chose Adam for the task. No one can string lyrics together quite like him. There’s not a person in America who doesn’t love The Thanksgiving Song, and whether we’re Jewish or not, we can probably sing The Chanukah Song. On SNL50, Adam Sandler shared his ode to Lorne and the rest of the men and women who made SNL great. From Eddie Murphy to Billy Crystal, Jan Hooks, and Rachel Dratch, Adam took us down a musical memory lane. He even choked up, remembering his friends Chris Farley and Norm McDonald. Even though Lorne fired him from SNL in 1995, he didn’t appear to harbor any ill will toward the show or the creator who helped launch his career.

Fans loved Adam Sandler on SNL50.

A fan wrote on YouTube, “Probably the most heart-felt part of the whole evening.”

This person agreed, “Leave it to Sandler to make us all cry. What a touching tribute.”

Another fan summed it up nicely. “Adam Sandler has a rare gift – he makes us laugh, then breaks our hearts at the same time. His tribute was more than a song; it was a love letter to legends and a reminder of the magic they brought to the world through Saturday Night Live. I’m filled with grief and gratitude watching this… thank you all for 50 great years of SNL… and thank you Lorne for thinking it all up… TB.”

Adam Lambert has given some incredible performances with Queen, but when he teamed up with Helene Fischer, they brought it to another level! The pair sang a duet with Queen on the band’s 1986 hit “Who Wants to Live Forever.” Lambert opened the power ballad with a delicate and touching vocal over a string part, before Fischer hit the stage and matched him note for note.

The band dropped in next, and Lambert brought the power up to the next level with a soaring vocal near the top of his range. Guitarist Brian May then played an emotional solo over a Roger Taylor drum groove. We know The readers will like what happened at the song closer, when Lambert and Fischer sang the big chorus together over the iconic guitar hook. It’s a big ask to sing Freddie Mercury’s vocals, but you couldn’t ask for a better tribute than what these two singers delivered.

Queen and Lambert dropped in to give the performance at The Helene Fischer Show in 2020. The video proved to be quite popular on her YouTube channel, where it drew 3.2 million views. Fans loved the show and showed their appreciation with comments such as “Helene and Adam what a beautiful tribute to Queen and Freddie Mercury” and “His voice, OMG! It reaches the stratosphere and then some. Adam Lambert truly has an otherworldly voice.”

Lambert has given many epic performances with Queen since he began performing with the band in 2012. The English rockers certainly made the right decision by giving the former American Idol star the call. Another great performance from Lambert and Queen is when they rocked “Don’t Stop Me Now” at Buckingham Palace for the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.

Queen released “Who Wants to Live Forever” as the sixth single from their 12th studio album, A Kind of Magic. Guitarist Brian May wrote the tune, and the band produced it alongside David Richards. The readers might be interested to know that the song was written for the soundtrack of the Sean Connery film Highlander, which has since become a cult classic. “Who Wants to Live Forever” has also become a classic for Queen fans, as Rolling Stone readers voted it the fifth-best Queen song in 2014. Curiously, the vocals on the film version differ from the album version of “Who Wants to Live Forever.” This is because Mercury provides all the main vocals for the film version, while May sings the first verse on the album version, as well as several other lead lines.

He eventually went on to take up his current role at a schoolhouse a few blocks down the road from his home, in Vigo County.

Speaking to Parade hours before an equally impressive performance of Michael Bolton’s “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You” that saw him advance to the semis, Goodall revealed how he came to audition in the first place.

He also addressed recent comparisons he’s received to Scottish singer Susan Boyle, who famously rose to stardom following her own unlikely performance on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009.

“I’ve been a janitor for 23 years,” Goodall began by saying, after first being congratulated for receiving a hard-earned, Heidi Klum-bestowed Gold Buzzer for his performance almost two months before.

“I’ve sung to the kids for years,,, 2022 was the first time [a] teacher said, ‘Do you want to sing [on America’s Got Talent] this year?

“I was like, ‘Yeah,’” the US’s new favorite cleaner further recalled, before revealing he flamed out of the competition during the show’s fourth season in 2009.

Citing his background as an “’80s kid music-wise”, he propositioned ‘Don’t Stop Believin’.

“They’re like, ‘Heck, yeah’, he remembered – with the rest now well-recorded history.

Of his subsequent spell-binding performance that’s since received several million views on YouTube, he said he was startled when he saw a familiar face in the audience.

“So, I sang it and there was a teaching assistant out in the audience,” he revealed. “She filmed it. That was a Thursday afternoon.”

“Friday morning,’ he said, “I’m scrubbing the floor in the 1st grade, and they approached me.

She reportedly told him, “Hey, we filmed you and put you on TikTok and it’s got 100,000 views.”

“I was like, ‘Is that good?’” Goodall recalled.

“She said, “Uh-huh, yeah.”

By the end of the weekend, it was well over a million, he said.

Recollecting as his then-scheduled second appearance loomed large, the custodian continued to express surprise over the outsized reaction that first set rapidly received.

‘By the time it reached 3 million, Journey and Steve Perry commented,’ he said, referring to the legendary arena rock band’s reclusive frontman.

“Steve Perry, who’s a recluse and doesn’t say much at all, put me on all of his social media,” Goodall gushed.

“His fans were commenting… If it was OK with Steve, then it was OK with them.”

He went on to reveal how it was a TikTok clip of him singing that got the attention of showrunners earlier this year, after which the show’s senior producer personally reached out him.

“[They] said, “Hey, are you interested in being on the show?” Goodall recalled.

“Four months later, I got plane tickets on my phone and I’m flying by the seat of my pants.

“I never had been on a plane, never been west of Missouri — and I wasn’t ever expecting to, either and I was OK with that,’ the school janitor admitted.

“I’ve been all over the East Coast because I can drive there, but taking three or four days to drive out to California, it just wasn’t on my radar. So, that’s basically what happened.”

He then touched on being gifted a brand-new car by current country star Walker Hayes, one of many won over by his May 28 performance.

After seeing the video, Hayes’ manager reportedly reached out and invited Goodall to one of his concerts,

“So, the wheels were turning, I didn’t know anything about this,” the custodian continued, revealing his car ‘[is] not horrible but [also] not the greatest thing in the world.

‘I had no clue and the Saturday before [my girlfriend] Angie [and I] left [to Los Angeles for the audition]… Walker pulled up in a brand new 2024.

He called the experience during his send-off from Terre Haute, his hometown, “surreal” – not only because of the run-in with the famous singer, but the fact the car was a Buick Encore.

“So, to me, it’s kind of fitting,’ he said in reference to his recent second chance. “I don’t know if they planned it that way.”

Along for the ride this time, he said, is his girlfriend Angie – a victory in itself.

“It’s easier with her being here with me but I’m just taking it as I can,” he said of his continued stay in LA with his longtime girlfriend as the competition persist.

“I’m just concentrating on the show, not concentrating on me, and we’ll see what happens.”

“If I don’t make it into the next round,” he said, “I’ve already won.

“How many people in my area can say that they’ve done the things that Angie and I just did,” the grateful school staffer asserted, as he continues to receive offers for paid gigs and rub shoulders with celebrities.

He went on to air some of his plans for the $1million grand prize in the event he secures two more wins, before being asked about his students’ response to his newfound success.

The Parade reporter interviewing Goodall first pointed to how the janitor back in June said his dream was to get a Double-Wide Mobile Home and move to Florida with his girlfriend and their two dogs.

The interviewer went on to ask whether the desire would see the family travel across the country similar to how now-63-year-old Boyle appeared at concerts all over the world after her viral performances.

“So, while you’re living in your double wide, would you still want to go around and perform?” the journalist asked, after comparing Goodall’s ability to that of Boyle’s

Goodall, in turn, responded: “Speaking to that, a lot of British people have been doing the comparison.

“If you dig a little deeper into Susan, she’s still in her same house. She redid her house but she’s still in the same house and, yes, she’s made quite a big name for herself and she’s worth money, but she still has stayed true to herself.

“I’m along those lines,” the janitor declared. “My Angie wants a little bit better than a double wide, so we’ll see how that works out.”

Ever-modest, he went on to express hopes for future performances.

“There’s absolutely no way I can top what I’ve already done. All I can do is go in there and give the best performance I can and that’s what I intend to do.”

Even without the sought-after Gold Buzzer, he would receive enough votes to advance to the semi-finals alongside country-rock band Ashes & Arrows and dog act Roni Sagi & Rhythm that same day

Nicole Kidman once admitted that she had a crush on Jimmy Fallon before she married Keith Urban—and Keith and Jimmy have never let her live it down.

The Oscar-winning actress bashfully talked about her former crush while visiting The Tonight Show in 2015. The two were talking about the last time they had seen each other, which happened when they met at Jimmy’s apartment. Nicole had asked a mutual friend to set them up, and she thought it was a date “hang.”

However, Jimmy Fallon had no idea they were on a date. He thought they were getting together to talk about Bewitched, which she was about to start filming at the time. And when she told him she had “liked” him all those years back, his jaw dropped to the floor.

“Wait, WHAT?” he asked during the interview before literally falling out of his chair. “What are you talking about? Did I date Nicole Kidman?”

During that tapping Jimmy Fallon started the line “I dated Nicole Kidman,” and he’s carried it with him ever since.

Keith Urban Planned A Prank On His Unsuspecting Wife

While talking to Deadline Hollywood recently, Jimmy Fallon remembered that now-viral interview and said the “date” with Nicole Kidman has turned into an ongoing joke that her now-husband Keith Urban has happily joined.

“What’s been fun is running into Keith Urban at all these parties and stuff, who’s a really good sport,” he laughed. “I went up to him at the Met Gala and I go, ‘Hey, I think we might have dated once?’ and he was laughing.”

Keith even came up with a prank to pull on his wife during one time. Jimmy was scared Nicole would get mad, but as one would expect, he went along with it anyway.

“[Keith] goes, ‘Nicole’s talking to someone across the table. Why don’t you go and just hold her hand? She’ll think it’s me, and then I’ll go around the table and wave at her,’” Jimmy shared. “I go, ‘I don’t want to get slapped, oh my gosh.’”

“So I went in, I sat next to Nicole, and I grabbed her hand, and she held it like it was Keith’s probably,” he continued. “She was kind of rubbing it, and she’s having this conversation. Then he went across the table and he’s like, ‘Hi, Nic.’ And she’s like, ‘What — Jimmy! What are you doing!’ I was like, ‘It was his idea! It was his idea!’”

Jimmy Fallon, Nicole Kidman, and Keith Urban ended up forming a fun friendship because of the crush revelation that extends past simple quips at red-carpet gatherings. Jimmy even invited the couple back to his show to laugh about the awkward date.

While chatting, Jimmy asked if Keith would ever invite him to his house in Tennessee, and Keith said, of course.

“I feel quite safe because you have no problem ignoring my wife,” he said.

Viral sensation Susan Boyle sings ‘A Million Dreams’ alongside Michael Ball during the Britain’s Got Talent finale. And the stunning duet left everyone in awe!

Susan Boyle first appeared as a contestant on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009. When she stepped onstage, some people looked down on her outward appearance. But Susan easily changed their mind with her opera performance of ‘I Dreamed A Dream.’

A clip Kidman posted on Instagram shows Urban telling the crowd that “we’ve got some birthdays in the house, we have teachers in the house, we’ve got wives in the house.” He then brought out Kidman, who checked off two of those three boxes.

Kidman gestured at her bare feet, prompting Urban to add “barefooted wives, by the way.”

“That’s a good look,” Urban added. “That’s a sunshine hippie.”

“Sunshine hippie” references a line in Urban’s 2016 song “Worry ‘Bout Nothin’.” Watch the clip:

Fans were equally enthralled by Kidman’s birthday outfit.

“Paris in the morning wearing Balmain, barefoot in jeans Vegas at night,” wrote one commenter. “That’s what I call a birthday!!”

Chances are this happened on Wednesday (June 21), which was the day after Kidman’s birthday, since that night coincided with one of Urban’s residency dates at Zappos Theater.

Urban took to Instagram on Kidman’s birthday, posting a photo of her spotting an owl while on a hike in the woods. The photo was clearly taken by Urban, with Kidman acutely unaware of the picture while she looks at the owl. He shared a sweet caption alongside the snap.

“To my gorgeous, sexy, adventurous, curious, nature loving, owl spotting, artist, wife: happy birthday baby!!!!!!” he wrote.

It’s been a celebratory month for Urban and Kidman. First came Father’s Day on June 18. Kidman shared a photo that day of her spouse and one of their children racing on recreational vehicles.

“Happy Father’s Day to the coolest dad there is!” she wrote in the post. “You are so loved by all of us! Your girls.”

The couple shares two children: 13-year-old Sunday Rose and 11-year-old Faith Margaret.

Their 17th wedding anniversary followed on Sunday (June 25). Urban’s been celebrating holy matrimony during his Las Vegas sets by incorporating wedding footage into the stage presentation for “Without You.”

“I wanted to do it in a very organic way and find the right song,” he told People. “It was really more about choosing to do that song, ‘Without You,’ and how that felt like the right time for that.”
