Beware of these carcinogens in your daily life

Cancer has lately become one the most prevalent diseases. And you could be making really healthy life style choices; but have you checked these carcinogens in your daily life? Although the exact cause of cancer is not known, the below mentioned substances are known to be associated with certain types of cancers.

  • Sodas

    How often have you stopped your kids from having a cola? But what you haven’t thought of protecting yourself from are the carcinogens in the drink. Yes! Your favourite cola has unsafe levels of chemicals used to give them their colour, which in turn are carcinogenic. So next time you stop your kids from guzzling a cola, put your glass down too!

  • Your daily bowl of breakfast cereals

    Every morning you push the snooze button on the alarm for that extra 10-minute sleep. You make up the lost time by skipping a wholesome breakfast and settling for a bowl of healthy cereals. But your cereal is not as healthy as you are told. The acrylamide content that forms in cereals during the manufacturing process leads to tumor development.

  • Room fresheners

    They smell so nice. . What could be wrong with them? Some of them even promise to cover up strong stenches like rotting garbage, right under your nose. That’s exactly what’s wrong with them. The formaldehyde or napthelene content, which give the nice fragrance, are known carcinogens.

  • Cigarettes / Tobacco

    The whole world is waging a war against cigarette smoking and tobacco use. It’s not just the smokers who are at risk from smoking. Second hand smoke or passive smoking is equally bad for you and is a known carcinogen. So next time you find yourself in the company of smokers, ask them to put that stub out.

  • Your daily soap and cream

    Most daily care products like shampoos; soaps and creams have SLS or parabens. Both have been known to cause cancers. Parabens have been connected to breast cancer and researches are on to find their full effect. So the next time you go shopping, turn to the natural Ayurvedic options instead of your usual chemical laden product.

  • Microwave popcorn

    Snuggling up for your favourite film with a bowl of microwave popcorn? Think again. Laden with preservatives and flavours microwave popcorns have carcinogens in them right from the bag to the kernels. Sometimes the labels don’t mention the ingredients due to lack of sanctions to use them, so best to skip over the product altogether.
