Main Producers of World Cancer Epidemic

Abstract

There is a growing amount of the research data confirming the cancer risk associated with cooking starchy foods at high temperatures. In a word, acrylamide is a chemical used in lots of industrial processes, including water purification, or to separation of DNA molecules in experiments. Animal studies clearly show that acrylamide causes all sorts of cancers. There's no reason to think that it wouldn't produce cancer similarly in humans too. Acrylamide might be responsible for a long lasting and not enough known World Epidemic of Cancer. A growing number of studies are finding evidence that pesticides used in home gardening and agriculture are also associated with increased cancer risk. Glyphosate-based herbicides are leading products of the current pesticide market, and this trend has further strengthened outside Europe with the spread of glyphosate-tolerant GM crops. Some compounds find their way into the food supply through agricultural use, animal farming, or food processing, even if their use is not directly intended for human consumption. Concern about the possible effects of food additives on health, including cancer, is one reason that many people are now interested in organic foods.
