CANCER in everything you do!

Recently an acquaintance of mine narrated how his friend died of cancer. He narrated that the friend took a large dose of pepper in a local food my people called 'Dan wake'. The person allegedly fainted, and that led the way to his eventual diagnosis of cancer. This could be a coincidence, but a lot of our loved ones die for some good reasons unknown. And this is very disturbing, because most times, we provide items or foods that leads to our sickness.

Some time a go, a friend of mine told me to stop taking tea in plastic cups . He defended that he's read somewhere that such plastic cups emit cancer-causing agents and that sometimes you could even see bubbles coming up when ever you put boiled water in those cups.

I didn't get to see those bubbles, but somehow I stopped using plastic cups (it is the most usual and convenient thing to use in my place. We have been using plastic cups in my house since we were kids. Most women use those big ones after child birth;women in my place would agree to this)

Just toady I came across an article on a website- secretnutritions.com, that strongly advised wearing plastic sandals or shoes could cause cancer. It said that some researchers in Germany "tested 10 pairs of the best brands of shoes made of plastic. Those that were tested contained about 60% aromatic polycyclic hydrocarbons  (PHAs)." It went further to say that "PHAs are exceptionally harmful substances that by causing cell mutation prompt to some genuine types of cancer." Especially "when entering in the body by inhaling in it or penetrating through  the skin pores." And the damning thing was that I went to Wikipedia.org and it truly said "PAHs have been linked to skin, lung, bladder, liver, and stomach cancers..."

More shocking is the reality that the interior of our cars are made from some of these plastics that emits cancer causing agents especially when left out in the heat of the Sun.

You would come face to face with cancer-causing agents everywhere you go, especially preservatives. In fact, "many of the problems our society is facing today, including the high number of obese children,  child diabetes and rising cancer rates, can be traced back to these artificial preservatives ". Most skin care products like lipsticks and lip gloss, hand and body lotions, acne medicated creams. So also food beverages and baby diapers . "Sadly, it's also in cosmetic products and many pharmaceutical products" said stopkillingmykids.com.

What is a more shocking revelation is the cumulative effect of radiation from cell phones into our body tissues. Experts say a huge dose of radiation could extend into greater levels of frontal and temporal lobes, eyes and cheek, and into brainstem of a 6 year old after a 6 minutes phone call. And for adults, a phone kept in the thigh pocket could mean great exposure to reproductive organs and bone marrow. Dr Debra Davis said ( watch her on YouTube-"the truth about mobile phone and wireless radiation") one, two or even three phone calls would not kill but consistent usage could impact on biological organs.

Now whether it is real or hyped, the Cancer scare is a billion dollar industry. For us in Nigeria, we could explore the production of a phone pouch, a case with a material that could stop radiation from getting through to our bodies. This is a free idea for entrepreneurs to latch on and make money. For sure, organic foods and cosmetics are beginning to take over our shelves. This is also a big money maker for entrepreneurs.

Be smart, stay safe.
