the 11 worst cancerous products we use
0:02
Daily Number One cigarettes cigarettes
0:05
are a well-known cause of cancer and
0:07
smoking is also linked to a number of
0:09
other health problems but what about
0:11
ecigarettes there's not a lot of
0:13
long-term research on these products yet
0:15
but there are some concerns about the
0:17
chemicals they contain and while people
0:18
may be less likely to get lung cancer
0:20
from vaping than from traditional
0:21
smoking cigarettes the risks of other
0:23
cancers is still a concern carcinogens
0:25
and cigarettes include form Malahide
0:27
carbon monoxide and arsenic but
0:30
ecigarettes also contain some of these
0:31
substances tanning beds the US Food and
0:34
Drug Administration has classified
0:36
tanning beds as a class one carcinogen
0:38
which means they're known to cause
0:39
cancer in humans grilled Meats grilled
0:42
meats are a good source of protein
0:44
however they're also a source of hcas
0:47
and pah's these chemicals form when you
0:49
cook meat over an open flame they're
0:51
associated with an increased risk of
0:53
colorl pancreatic lung and breast
0:56
cancers this one is less clear than
0:58
cigarettes and tanning beds however do
1:00
your best to limit the number of times
1:02
you consume grilled Meats per week birth
1:05
control pills this one is a bit
1:06
complicated as researchers have found
1:08
that oral birth control decreases your
1:10
risk of certain cancers while raising
1:12
your risk of others for instance it can
1:14
prevent ovarian and endometrial cancers
1:17
in addition the pill contains a
1:18
synthetic version of estrogen which has
1:21
been found to decrease your risk of
1:22
chactl cancer however oral birth control
1:25
also raises your risk of breast and
1:27
cervical cancers it is important that
1:29
you speak with with your healthcare
1:30
provider about oral birth control and
1:32
whether or not it is right for you if
1:34
you have a family history of breast or
1:36
cervical cancer then maybe you should
1:38
look for other options alcohol alcohol
1:41
is a known carcinogen it can damage your
1:43
DNA and increase your risk of developing
1:45
certain cancers in fact according to the
1:47
American Cancer Society drinking alcohol
1:50
increases your risk of developing throat
1:52
liver breast and colon cancer your risks
1:54
increase the more you drink salt cured
1:58
meat fish and pickled foods salt cured
2:02
fish and meat are high in nitrates the
2:04
nitrates and meat are converted to
2:06
nitrosamines studies suggest that people
2:08
who ate a lot of salt cured meat and
2:10
fish had an increased risk of developing
2:12
stomach cancer other research also found
2:14
that eating pickled vegetables was
2:16
linked to increased stomach cancer risk
2:18
processed Meats processed meats are
2:20
meats that have been preserved by
2:21
smoking curing salting and adding
2:23
preservatives like sodium nitrate these
2:25
meats include ham bacon and sausages
2:28
which are formed when meat is preserved
2:30
with sodium nitrate or other food
2:32
additives processed foods processed
2:35
foods are foods that have been modified
2:36
either by adding ingredients or removing
2:38
some of their natural components they
2:40
are often high in sugar fat and salt
2:43
examples of processed foods include
2:45
cookies cakes candy and ice cream there
2:47
seems to be a link between people who
2:49
eat more processed foods and cancer
2:51
however researchers aren't quite sure of
2:53
the cause yet Plastics many Plastics are
2:56
made from BPA BPA is a chemical that
2:58
mimics estrogen in a body and has been
3:00
linked to various health issues
3:02
including cancer it's also used in epoxy
3:04
resins that cope metal cans for food
3:06
storage if you eat can Foods it's
3:08
important to look for products with
3:09
labels that say BPA free or BPA free can
3:13
liners also never reheat foods that are
3:15
stored in plastic always place them in a
3:18
non-plastic dish before
3:20
reheating eating too much sugar can
3:22
actively damage your cells and lead to
3:24
cancer in addition excess sugar can
3:27
essentially feed tumor cells and help
3:28
cancer grow and spread more rapidly
3:30
sugar also causes inflammation which is
3:32
linked to many chronic health conditions
3:34
including cancer to limit your sugar
3:36

3:38

juice acry acry is a carcinogen that is
3:46
formed when starchy foods are cooked at
3:48
high temperatures such as frying or
3:49
baking Studies have shown that acryline
3:52
can cause tumors in the large intestine
3:54
of mice and rats as well as DNA damage
3:56
to human cells however it's not clear
3:59
whether this chemical also causes cancer
