for each case of occurrence of cancer is a carcinogen.This is a factor that causes malignant process.
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that in 2012 Russia ranked fifth in the world in the number of patients who died of cancer.In terms of per 100 000 population, our country turned sad championship - 122.5.Over the past ten years, the incidence has increased by 25%.
Causes tumors
should not think that the carcinogen - it is only for a harmful substance.The physical factors that may cause cancer are radiation, ultraviolet and electromagnetic radiation, sometimes - long mechanical action and even noise.
predisposition to some types of tumors can be inherited, that is inherent in genetics.
most common cause being a virus, bad environment, bad conditions of production and living conditions, improper preparation, storage and use of certain foods.
There are also psychological reasons, for example, the state of stress caused by personal problems or social upheavals, particularly in combination with certain character traits.
Weak protection
Normally the human body is quite able to deal with the threat of cancer.Changes that carcinogens cause at the cellular level, are constant.After all, we do not live in ideal conditions.But as long as the immune system to cope, a person protected.
mechanism is triggered, allowing time to identify and remove damaged cells.Exposure to carcinogens
lasting in time, can lead to a weakening of protection.At some point there is a failure of immunity and malignant growth can become uncontrollable.As
studying carcinogens
Chemical carcinogenesis theory confirmed experimentally proved that there is a direct link between the occurrence of tumors and the dose, duration of exposure, as well as the composition and activity of certain substances.
create a directory, expand the range of natural and synthetic compounds that carry the threat of malignant tumors in animals and humans.
Many laboratories in the world are working on the establishment of the mechanism of malignant tumors, depending on what substances are carcinogens, and in what dose effect in experimental animals.
For experimental use of cancer cell cultures, as well as specially bred line of laboratory mice, rats and larger animals up to the apes.
changes occurring in tissues and cells following the introduction of the studied substance was examined by the most modern methods.
Where the danger comes
Why do so many patients?Virtually no one family in Russia has not spared this misfortune.Ill old and young, men and women, suffer the little children.
Even if you do not talk about stress at work, overwork, lack of confidence in the future, resentment and other emotions, debilitating, and stop only at the "real" causes of cancer, can be described very much.
On manufacture carcinogen - is:
- benzene, benzopyrene;
- asbestos;
- arsenic, nickel, mercury, lead, cadmium, chromium;
- coal tar, carbon black;
- creosote, petroleum oils and many other agents.
work in the mines, coke, footwear, furniture, rubber and various other hazardous industries leads to a significant cancer risk.
in life danger is:
- natural radon in basements and lower floors of the buildings;
- exhaust gases;
- industrial emissions and boiler;
- many construction and decoration materials;
- furniture made of polymers;
- household chemicals, solvents;
- tobacco smoke (especially passive smoking), chewing tobacco.
And it is also far from a complete list of possible causes of ill of someone dear to you people.
Surprisingly, but many drugs are on the list of carcinogens.
dangerous food
Where are carcinogens in the products?How poor diet affects the increase in cancer risk?
It is necessary to pay attention to the proper storage of food.Aflatoxin produced by mold fungi in cereals, flour, nuts when stored in damp conditions, is a potent carcinogen.
is extremely dangerous to use expired, rancid, overcooked, repeatedly heated fats.It is because of them and then the body will build cell membranes, synthesize hormones.Biomolecules, built of spoiled "bricks", becoming a source of distorted information in violation of the proper functioning of all systems.
substances formed in fried meat, can cause various types of cancer, including prostate cancer.
Excessive consumption is not only animal fat, but margarine, refined oils worsen lipid metabolism.In combination with various toxic effects it can cause cancers, including hormone dependent.Omega-6 Predominance of Omega-3 fatty acids in the diet may also act as a carcinogen.
Abuse refined carbohydrates violates the sensitivity of cells to insulin, which leads to premature aging, the deposition of fat and decreased immunity.
habit of paying attention to the composition and terms of storage of purchased food as well as the use of green, red, orange fruits and vegetables, seafood, unrefined oils, fresh nuts help maintain health.
When honey is poison
Honey is considered to be medicinal products.It is used for colds, loss of strength, exhaustion, tuberculosis and many other diseases.High-quality honey collected in ecologically clean areas, it is definitely healing.
But only as long as it is not heated above 50 degrees Celsius, while the honey - a carcinogen, because it increases the amount of hydroxymethylfurfural.
This material is formed by heating sugars in an acid medium, is also available in cognac, soft drinks, sweets, zhzhenkoy stained, burnt bread.Honey imported from southern countries or stored for long periods, also contains an increased amount of osimetilfurfurola.Russian standards of its content in the products of stricter than in the EU.
If one or two times a year, pamper yourself Honey or as much time to bake meat in honey marinade, probably nothing bad will happen.But if this happens every week, then your risk is certainly increased.
should therefore be a larger share of critics treat recipes from culinary shows and glossy magazines, assessing not only the beauty and taste of the dishes presented, but also their potential harm.
most important conclusion
carcinogen - a substance that accumulate in the body, it acts at the cellular level and changes the way the division of somatic cells.Their reproduction ceases to be a controlled process - this is the essence of malignant diseases.
tumor grows and is powered by the body, killing him.
Quitting smoking, nutrition, physical activity, cheerful mood - is quite capable individual.Improvement of the environment, compliance with measures of protection in hazardous industries, the timely treatment to the doctor will save lives.
