Everyone should know more about carcinogen as we are exposed to it in our daily lives frequently. So what is carcinogen? Why does it matter to me? What should I do to avoid it?

A carcinogen is a substance that is directly involved in causing cancer. Simple, right? Should be easy to avoid…but no, they are in all of our daily lives and very difficult to avoid. Simple examples of carcinogens are asbestos, household chemicals, and tobacco smoke. So you lets say you live in a asbestos free house, don’t use household chemicals and smoke free. Why does it matter to you? Here are somethings you might not know that contain carcinogens…

Simple Consumer Products: toothpaste, shampoo, detergent, soap, deodorant, and many more.

Everyone uses these products everyday. These products do not contain high levels of carcinogens, but still contain cancer causing chemicals inside.How to avoid: Its hard to find and a little pricy, but use all natural products you can find at health conscious stores like Trader Joe’s and Wholefoods.

Household Cleaning Products: Certain cleaning sprays, disinfectant, etc.

Not everyone uses these products on a daily basis, but many household cleaning products contain Dioxins, which are toxic compounds that are environmental pollutants.How to avoid: Stick to all purpose, all natural products. More and more organic cleaners are being introduced into the market today.

Food: Barbecuing meat, milk, certain snacks.

Charring meat, whole milk and certain packaged snacks contain carcinogens.How to avoid: microwave meat before barbecuing to reduce time to grill. Milk and packaged snacks should be consumed only if its all natural.

Obviously, you can’t avoid all carcinogens in your daily life. However, by choosing the right products to use and consume will greatly reduce the amount of carcinogen that you’ll be exposed to. It may cost a little more in price, but you can’t put a price on your health.
