What causes cancer? Food, products that increase your cancer risk - by Hilary Brueck

Cancer is the second-most-common cause of death in the United States, after heart disease.

All cancer is a result of damage or genetic mutations in our DNA. The debilitating class of diseases spreads through a body like an invading army as toxic cells grow relentlessly into unruly tumors.

Some cases of cancer are out of our control, determined by genetic defects and predispositions passed down from one generation to the next, or spurred by genetic changes we undergo through our lifetime.

But we also know that breathing in certain substances, eating specific things, and even using some kinds of plastics ups the risk of developing some deadly cancers.

Click on link below for some known carcinogens — cancer-causers — and a few more things that scientists are zeroing in on as prime suspects.
