Why is The Fact That Everything Causes Cancer Being Ignored

Why Is the Fact That Everything Causes Cancer Being Ignored When someone attempts to broach the subject about the causes of cancer, it is often met with the dismissive response of �but everything causes cancer,� and they are correct. Nearly everything does cause cancer anymore, yet avoidance and prevention are possible. 1. Chemicals in Food In recent months it has been widely reported that the pesticide RoundUp or glyphosate is an enemy to public health and can have long lasting, devastating effects, not only to human health but also the environment. Many people are clueless to the fact that many soy products are contaminated with it and it can cause endocrine disruption and cancer? Genetically modified soybeans are grown in great abundance and the result is a cost efficient, plentiful soybean oil. The soybean oil is put into just about every processed food product you can think of. It often contains the very pesticide it is genetically modified to be resistant to. When doctors are prescribing anti-depressants, they reference a �chemical imbalance� as the cause of depression. However an endocrine disruption, a hormonal imbalance from chemicals, can also cause �chemical depression,� so avoiding them can be a critical decision in ensuring emotional and metal health. Also the small amounts of glyphosate found in soy products interact with a phytoestrogen in soybeans, creating a reaction that has a more potent endocrine disrupting effect. A 2013 paper published in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology says: �Glyphosate-based herbicides are widely used for soybean cultivation, and our results also found that there was an additive estrogenic effect between glyphosate and genistein, a phytoestrogen in soybeans. However, these additive effects of glyphosate contamination in soybeans need further animal study.� B. Artificial Coffee Creamers The artificial creamer picture above is sold under the brand �Ambiance.� This artificial creamer contains these chemicals. �Corn syrup solids� are in the same group as the unhealthy high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated soybean oil is one of those health damaging soy products. Dipotassium phosphate is a common additive to coffee creamer that is linked to health problems written about in academic papers. 2. Body Care Products A. Aluminum in Deodorant Breast, skin cancer, Alzheimer�s, endocrine disruption, and other health problems are strongly linked to the use of �body care� products. For example, aluminum compounds in antiperspirant/deodorant are linked to Alzheimer�s. Endocrine disruptors are even ending up in water supplies. The way body care products can cause health problems is well summarized in a 2009 paper titled, �Underarm antiperspirants/deodorants and breast cancer�: �An extensive number of cosmetic products are applied topically on and around the human breast on a daily basis, often multiple times a day, including not only underarm anti-perspirant/deodorant products but also body lotions, body sprays, moisturising creams, breast firming/enhancing creams and suncare products. These products are not rinsed off but left on the skin, allowing for continuous dermal exposure, absorption and deposition into underlying tissues, which may be further increased by abrasions in the skin created by shaving [2,3,5�7]. The extent to which chemicals absorbed by this route escape metabolism remains unknown, but they would certainly escape the systemic metabolism to which orally derived chemicals would be subjected [5�7].� An article by Dr. Edward Group offers an alternative to toxic deodorants: �Aluminum-free deodorants should consist of essential oils and all natural ingredients. Aluminum free alone may not be enough as some aluminum-free deodorants are still high risk, according to the Environmental Working Group, and can contain chemicals like triclosan and propylene glycol. Triclosan is perhaps a more fierce endocrine disruptor than propylene glycol, so try to avoid it. This article contains a recipe for making your own deodorant using natural ingredients like baking soda and coconut oil.� B. Chemical sunscreen can cause endocrine disruption and cancer You may know that sunscreen is actually causing skin cancer and hormone disruption. Oxybenzone is a main ingredient in many sunscreens. There are alternatives. Two different types of sunscreen are well summarized by Wellness Mama: �There are two ways that a sunscreen can protect the skin from sun damage: with a mineral barrier or a chemical one. Mineral sunscreens typically include ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which create a physical barrier to protect the skin from the sun. Chemical sunscreens use one or more chemicals including oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate and octinoxate.� In one case, a woman who blogged about the value of body care products and sunscreen actually ended up with skin cancer. An ABC headline reads: �Woman �Shocked� to Develop Skin Cancer Despite Sunscreen Vigilance.� From that article: �Annie Tomlin is an expert beauty editor who is known for telling her millions of readers about the importance of sunscreen, so when a red patch appeared on her hairline and wouldn�t go away, she knew something wasn�t right. �As it grew and grew I thought, �this isn�t normal,�� she said. A biopsy revealed that Tomlin had basal cell carcinoma. It�s the most common kind of skin cancer. Tomlin said she was �shocked� by the diagnosis in November. �I�m religious about sun protection. I wore it every day as a kid,� she said.� C. Baby Powder (talcum) Big Pharma giant Johnson & Johnson�s baby powder has been proven to cause cancer. Johnson & Johnson knowingly sold it for years to unwitting consumers and are now being sued by over a thousand women who were diagnosed with cancer. Well summarized by James Corbett: �Oh, really, this is getting to be too much! What do you want me to say? That there are now more than 1200 women suing J&J for covering up the talcum/cancer connection? That one of the jurors that awarded the $72 million told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that �They [J&J] tried to cover up and influence the boards that regulate cosmetics�? That J&J have spent over $5 billion in legal fines and penalties over the last three years, including a $2.2 billion penalty for illegally marketing an anti-psychotic to children and the elderly, a $2.5 billion penalty for selling faulty artificial hips and $120 million in compensation to women who suffered organ damage and constant pain from the company�s horrific, internally eroding vaginal mesh inserts? OK, there. I said it. What�s not to like about this company and its business prospects? Nothing, that�s what! Just look at this: Last week Johnson & Johnson�s pharmaceutical arm, Janssen Biotech, agreed to license a potential prostate cancer treatment from Tesaro for $50 million. The bold move will insure that J&J remains at the forefront of biopharmaceutical research and development. I�ll admit it. The internal J&J memo that proves that Johnson & Johnson knew of the baby powder / cancer linkage in 1992 looks bad. It does. And the fact that the same memo also recommends targeting black and Hispanic women (including an �adult Hispanic media program� and an �adult black print effort�) looks bad. It does. But look at the numbers. Look at them!� 3. Cancer Causing, Health Damaging Drugs A. Diethylstilbestrol (DES) Over the last century, bad drugs have led to deformed children, cancer, birth defects, and more. One was called Diethylstilbestrol, or DES: pregnant mothers were encouraged to take it, and infants exposed to it in utero were born with many kinds of health problems. From Wikipedia: �Human exposure to DES occurred through diverse sources, such as dietary ingestion from supplemented cattle feed and medical treatment for certain conditions, including breast and prostate cancers. From about 1940 to 1971, DES was given to pregnant women in the mistaken belief it would reduce the risk of pregnancy complications and losses. In 1971, DES was shown to cause clear cell carcinoma, a rare vaginal tumor in girls and women who had been exposed to this drug in utero. The United States Food and Drug Administration subsequently withdrew DES from use in pregnant women. Follow-up studies have indicated that DES also has the potential to cause a variety of significant adverse medical complications during the lifetimes of those exposed.� DES Action.org is a great resource for learning about this. B. Thalidomide Another horrendously drug of the past was Thalidomide, one of the most obscene stories of a bad drug possibly ever witnessed. Pregnant mothers were encouraged to take Thalidomide in the post WWII era. It was found to cause extremely severe deformities and numerous other health problems. Watch the video below to learn more about the history of Thalidomide. Incredibly despite of the evidence that clearly demonstrates how devastating this drug truly is, Thalidomide is still sometimes prescribed to treat leprosy and cancer. C. MiraLAX In today�s age, bad drugs have less of an immediate, noticeable effect: they often take time for the damage to become noticeable, which makes it very difficult to pin down chemicals as the definitive cause of an illness. Take MiraLAX for example. According to an article from the Mind Unleashed titled �Laxative Given to Toddlers Linked to Neuropsychiatric Events: MiraLAX Exposed by Parents�: �MiraLAX is an over the counter laxative that has been central in pharmaceutical practice for a few decades. It is a petroleum product: polyethylene glycol. A similar chemical is used in anti-freeze, ethylene glycol. Small amounts of highly toxic ethylene glycol are found in MiraLAX as well. Originally intended for adults, today toddlers and young children are given it freely. Doctors �literally give it like water,� as described by Dr. Scott W. Cohen, a pediatrician in Beverly Hills, California. Parents are currently raising awareness of it�s danger: this has been a long time coming. It is associated with altering emotions toward �darkness,� paranoia and anxiety, anger, and many other symptoms. The FDA quietly acknowledged it�s danger as early as 2011, as you can see here.� D. Vaccines during pregnancy Currently mothers are still being poisoned during pregnancy by vaccines. Mothers are encouraged to get flu shots, which are not good for the baby, if you understand what is in the vaccine. People are trying to quantify if vaccines during pregnancy are linked to miscarriage, stillbirth, and other problems.
