I realize that we shouldn't believe everything we read on the internet, but when multiply sources are all saying the same thing it's hard to think there isn't some truth to it. I'm specifically talking about 5 foods that are linked to cancer due to petroleum. If you are like me, you are wondering how in the world petroleum is even in our foods. We teach our kids to stay away from petroleum, yet most foods that have petroleum are geared towards kids due to artificial coloring.

  1. Cheetos
  2. Fruit Snacks
  3. Teddy Grahams
  4. Pop-tarts
  5. M & M's

Will you be removing these items from you kids diets?
