When doctors detect cancer in the body, it’s often too late.
Cancer grows and accumulates over time without you knowing. It can come from anything: food, clothes, and the like.
To help you prevent the deadly disease before it’s too late, know what are the biggest causes of cancer today. You are even using some right now!
We listed down 10. Here they are:
1. Whole milk
While milk provides the body with calcium and other minerals, but too much of it may lead to cancer.
According to a study by Dr. Mettlin, cancer patients drink whole milk more frequently than people who don’t have cancer, and consuming whole milk (including fats) increased your risk of having tumors in your oral cavity, stomach, rectum, lung, or breast.
2. CT scans
Many health blogs would recommend a Computed Tomography (CT) scan or “full body” scan annually for your health.
Cancer Research UK disagrees. They say CT scan uses 500 times more radiation than a normal X-ray, which can make a completely healthy person be at risk of cancer. The organization recommends that you undergo CT scans only when it’s absolutely necessary.
3. Deodorants and antiperspirants
Your favorite deodorants and antiperspirants may contain aluminum, which can cause breast cancer, Alzheimer’s, bone disorders and kidney problems, according to Dr. Edward Group.
Make sure to check the ingredients first, or use homemade or organic deodorants instead.

4. Make-up and cosmetics
Cosmetic products are staple in every woman’s (or man’s) handbag, but they are equally notorious for having cancerous ingredients.
Watch out for these chemicals before buying your make-up: parabens, phthalates, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) / Sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), propylene glycol, and toluene.
These toxic substances will enter the body through the skin, and create a “fertile ground” for cancer cells.
5. GMO soybeans and corn
Vegans, vegetarians, and health buffs promote eating soy-based dishes instead of meat. One of their reasons is it’s healthier, but there’s one problem: when you take in genetically-modified soybean or soy milk, formaldehyde, a known carcinogen, builds up and destroys your body over time.
Be careful in buying your favorite dairy products. If you can, buy organic milk and soy instead.
6. Artificial sweeteners
Stevia or stevioside, a new sweetening product, is 250 to 300 times sweeter than sugar, but it’s not approved by Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) in the United States.
It is sold as “dietary supplement” but watch out! It can lead to cancer and gene mutations.
7. Tap water
The water coming from your faucet may have disease-causing bacteria, heavy metals, gasoline solvents, and industrial waste. You increase your risk of cancer every time you drink unfiltered water.
If you can afford it, buy filtered water for 30 to P50 per five gallons. For parents with 0 to 2-year olds, go for distilled water.

8. Prescription drugs
Be vigilant when buying and taking prescription drugs. Some of them, says Drug Watch US, cause cancer and heart attacks.
Take only the medicines recommended by your trusted doctor.
9. Artificial food coloring and preservatives
The use of food coloring in ready-made meals has been a subject of debates for many years. Many questioned its value, saying it’s only for appearance’s sake.
Frequently eating foods using artificial dyes has strong links to cancer, ADHD, and other diseases.
So think twice before you give your children a rainbow cupcake as baon or snack. Give them more fruits and vegetables instead.
10. Commercial soaps, shampoo, pastes and creams.
Taking a bath daily is essential to good health and hygiene. Be careful, however, of the soaps, shampoo, and toothpaste that you use.
Like make-up, many of them contains cancerous ingredients that we’ve talked about earlier, such as paraben, artificial colors, and phthalates—a fancy word for plastics.
If you can afford it, buy natural and organic products.
Remember whatever you put on your skin gets absorbed by your body, so be extra careful when buying food and household products for you and your family’s sake.
