Common things that we use on a regular basis contain carcinogens that are known to be the leading cause for cancer in human beings. Here are a few things to keep in mind.
1. Avoid BPA: BPA or Bisphenol A is a compound that is found in plastics. It is known to mimic the body’s endocrine system and cause negative issues. Avoid plastic bottles, or look for ones that say ‘BPA Free’ on them.
2. Restrict soy intake: Soy contains phytoestrogens that mimic oestrogen in women (and men). Keep in mind that soy has amazing health benefits as well. Reduce your intake, if necessary.
3. Keep away from artificial sweeteners: This is a sore point with some people, who argue that there is no evidence to prove that sweeteners cause cancer. However, sweeteners have substances such as aspartame, sucralose and saccharin that are considered as carcinogens by some.
