Causes of breast cancer
Breast cancer is more common in women but not unknown in men. Everyone can make sure to avoid these causes of breast cancer
|
1. Oestrogen and Progesterone
These can be found in oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy and especially in dairy. Dairy is naturally filled with these breast cancer promoting hormones and is one of the leading causes of breast cancer.
|
|
2. Growth hormones and IGF
Milk is the fluid for growth so it’s filled with these hormones. So is all dairy. And growth hormones may also be given to animals in our food chain that are slaughtered for meat.
|
|
3. Chemicals
Many chemicals are carcinogens. Chemicals are found in packaged foods and non-organic foods, in personal care products – medicines, toothpaste, soaps, shampoos, hair dyes, lotions, perfumes, cosmetics, deodorants, hand-sanitizers etc. can all be a source of chemicals entering our body. Chemicals in home care products – air fresheners, mosquito repellents, incense, detergents, fabric softeners, surface cleaners; may enter our body through inhalation or touch. And then there are the chemicals in our polluted air and environment.
|
|
4. Plastics
Bottled water, packaged foods, plastic containers all allow the chemicals in the plastic to leach into the foods.
|
|
5. Excess Fat
Excess fat on our body attracts cancer. It also blocks arteries reducing vital oxygen making the environment more suitable for cancer cells than normal cells.
|
|
6. Acidity
Cancer cells thrive in an acidic environment. Tea, coffee, colas, smoking, alcohol, sugar, vinegar, packaged foods all lend to an acid environment in our body. So do protein powders and high protein foods.
|
|
7. Excess Protein
Protein is the food for growth and cancer is a growth. There is a connection. The milk protein, casein is a known carcinogen.
|
|
8. Radiation
Too many X Rays and other forms of radiation cause cancer.
|
|
9. Emotions
It is well know that resentment and anger promote cancers. So do other negative emotions. Our moods are controlled by hormones and chemicals. Animals, too, have the same emotional messengers, which mean that when we consume animals we also are consuming their stress hormones. Note the relaxation that you feel once you stop consuming animal products.
