The document discusses the causes and prevention of cancer, emphasizing the minimal role of synthetic chemicals in cancer causation compared to lifestyle factors such as smoking, diet, and infections. It argues that most cancers are preventable through lifestyle changes like increased fruit and vegetable consumption, reduced smoking, and physical activity. The authors critique the misinterpretation of animal cancer tests at high doses, which exaggerates risks associated with low-level exposure to synthetic chemicals. They highlight that natural chemicals also pose risks but are generally well-managed by human defense mechanisms. Overall, the document advocates for a balanced understanding of cancer risks and effective resource allocation for public health.

Chemicals in the environment Benzene, asbestos, vinyl chloride, radon, arsenic, and trichloroethylene are examples of toxic substances that can increase the risk of cancer when people are exposed to them.
Occupational and household exposures, such as radon and asbestos, have been linked to certain cancers. Some cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, may increase risk of developing a different type of cancer later in life.
Aging. The most important risk factor for cancer is growing older. Family history. Most cancers develop because of genetic mutations. Smoking. Tobacco use is the most preventable cause of death. Alcohol. Sunlight and ionizing radiation. Organic and inorganic chemicals. Viruses and Bacteria. Hormone therapy.
Environmental pollution by chemicals in drinking water, air, food and in the workplace may contribute to cancer. The harmful health effects of chemicals depend on the dose, strength of the chemical compound, the length of exposure and the general health of the individual.
Polluted air, radiation, tobacco smoke, and processed foods can lead to DNA damage, interfering with the bodys natural ability to repair itself. Over time, these genetic changes can increase the risk of cancer development.

Genetic and environmental factors shape human development through complex interactions. Genes provide the blueprint, while the environment influences how that blueprint is expressed. This interplay affects physical, cognitive, and behavioral traits throughout life.
Some chemicals in the environment are toxic substances that can produce cancer in humans and animals. Most chemicals act by causing the initiation step in the cancer process (altering the DNA), but they also can act as promoters.
Acquired Mutations (9095%) the high majority of cancers come from mutations of cells accumulated over time due to lifestyle and environmental factors.
Polluted air, radiation, tobacco smoke, and processed foods can lead to DNA damage, interfering with the bodys natural ability to repair itself. Over time, these genetic changes can increase the risk of cancer development. The authors emphasize that nearly everyone is exposed to cancer risk factors daily.
Choosing a cancer-smart lifestyle could prevent at least one in three cases. Over 13,000 cancer deaths a year are due to smoking, sun exposure, poor diet, alcohol, inadequate exercise or being overweight. However, lifestyle changes reduce your risk.
