Cancer Connection - Toxins
Toxins are undoubtedly the greatest threat to our health.
The presence of almost countless dangerous, poisonous substances in our air, water and food is probably the most harmful factor to the health of people in the world.. It is estimated that the average person in the developed world will come in contact with over 70,000 chemicals during his/her their lifetime, of which 20,00 are known carcinogens (cancer causing substances). The July 13, 2000 New England Journal of Medicine stated, "Environmental factors constitute 80 to 90% of cancer risk."
Acids, dioxins, PCBs, pesticides and many more dangerous substances, (many of them banned by governments) enter our bodies from, for example, incineration of trash, chlorination of the water supply, the spraying of crops.
Toxic food
Another major source of toxic exposure is the food we eat. Herbicides, pesticides and fungicides are sprayed on our foods, while they are growing and after harvesting, to prevent spoilage and improve marketability. For example, when eating a peach, the chances are that you will encounter up to five pesticides. Fungicides are sprayed on coffee beans so that they bring top dollar in the market. Approximately 90% of the drugs given to animals have not been approved by the government.
Cosmetics
One additional source of significant exogenous pollution is products used for personal grooming and our clothing. Talc has been added to the list of known carcinogens, while women who use talc and deodorizing powders have a 2.8 increased risk of developing ovarian tumors. Coal tar, used in antidandruff shampoos has "overwhelming evidence of carcinogenicity." According to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, almost 1,000 of the chemicals available for use in cosmetics have been found by the government to be toxic.
Household items
Household cleaning agents, plastics (especially those that come into contact with our food and skin), paints, glues used in flooring, insecticides and simple medicines or drugs all add to the toxic load we bear. Care must be used to avoid these wherever possible.
Professor Samuel Epstein, M.D., professor of occupational and environmental medicine at the University of Illinois has shown that since 1950, overall cancer incidence has increased by 44 percent, breast cancer, and colon cancer in males, by 60 percent, and prostate and kidney cancers by 100 percent. Cancer of the testicles has increased by 300 percent since 1938; and melanoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma and cancers of the brain and liver are all climbing rapidly.
It becomes quite apparent that Dr. Epstein was correct and is probably conservative in his appraisal of how bad the situation is. The role of toxins in causing ill health is unquestioned. We need to minimize our exposure to these health robbers.
