There’s no simple answer, but we know that common environmental toxins play a large role in cancer’s development.
Believe it or not, everyday items in your home contribute to your health. Household items can affect your ability to stay healthy and fight off serious diseases like cancer. Even your toothpaste makes a difference.
Eliminate These Top 5 Cancer Causes From Your Home
Check out this list of the top five toxins to eliminate immediately so we all can become cancer-fighting machines. Of course – in addition to these tips – men everywhere need to make sure they are exercising, eating healthy and strengthening mindset on a daily basis.
- Food Additives. Stay away from foods containing food additives, dyes, colorings, flavorings, stabilizers, fake fats, artificial sugars and preservatives. The average person ingests 140 to 150 pounds of additives a year.
- Medications. The nearly four billion prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines and vaccines are themselves chemical toxins. Additionally, phthalates, heavy metals and commercial preservatives are used to both coat the drugs and preserve the materials.
- Plastics. Food wrapped in plastic, plastic take-out food containers and water sold in plastic bottles expose you to very high levels of phthalates and other chemicals. Plastics damage hormone receptors, cause fatigue, harm brain chemistry, accumulate in organs and lead to illness. They’ve been specifically linked to cancers of the prostate, lung and thyroid.
- Water. Monitor the quality of the water you drink, bathe in and use to clean and prepare foods. Tap water is full of chlorine, heavy metals, contaminants, and other toxins. Chlorine is a big red flag. If it is strong enough to kill all bacteria and other dangerous compounds in our water, do you really think it’s a good idea to pass it through our systems?
- Personal Care Products. These toxins are hiding in plain sight on the shelves and in the drawers of your bathroom. The list of toxic substances includes sunscreens, soaps, shampoos, detergents and—as previously mentioned—toothpastes. Sodium lauryl sulfate is a common degreaser used in practically every soap, shampoo and toothpaste on the market today. The compound has been used in studies to induce mutation in bacteria and irritate skin. It has also shown to enter the heart, liver, lungs and brain from skin contact and has been proven to maintain residual levels once inside these organs.
Switch to organic and plant-based products to avoid the long-term toxic buildup caused by these dangerous chemicals. Prolonged toxicity is known to foster the development of cancer.

New York Times bestseller Dr. Ben Lerner has launched his book “The Cancer Killers“. While the medical field often points to the genetic tendency to develop cancer, Dr. Lerner’s research indicates that it’s actually lifestyle that triggers the issues. He reveals that cancer cannot survive inside a body that is healthy, and there are direct and definable steps you can take to treat the body and mind, therefore eliminating chances of cancer immediately. Dr. Lerner is the co-founder of Maximized Living, Maximized Living Health Centers, and the Maximized Living Foundation. He is the author of nine books and has spent multiple weeks on the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today best-sellers lists.

Ok according to this article tap water is no good, and bottled water is bad because it is stored in plastic bottles. Where does the author suggest most people obtain their drinking water? Not everyone has an artesion spring in the back yard or lives in the mountains next to a burbling snow-fed stream.
“Tap water is full of chlorine, heavy metals, contaminants, and other toxins”
I don’t think this is true of the UK, except for the chlorine bit, which you can obviate by pouring water into a jug and leaving it on the side or in the refridgerator to stand for a few hours or overnight which allows the chlorine to evaporate off.
You can get the very best quality water from a relatively cheap water filter plumbed in to your cold water feed in your kitchen . Don’t get a reverse osmosis water (RO) filter though. RO water has no minerals and is acidic.
Cancer cells thrive in an acidic environment, it goes without saying our diet has got a lot to do with our body chemistry. Obviously there are many external toxins that when absorbed can cause us to develop cancer, and of course hereditary factors. I have had kidney cancer twice now, I have suffered from GERD for many years, I have a very acidic stomach. Since having cancer the second time, I have changed to a diet in the hope that it may help me avoid it the third time. I stay away from using harsh chemicals in my home, but obviously we have no idea what we are breathing in. I am fortunate that I live in France, they don’t put fluoride in the water at least.
Acidic conditions in the body can be relieved. Get informed about KANGEN WATER . I had been diagnosed with endometrial cancer, had surgery, chemo, radiation and even then a few cells had migrated to a muscle (Erectus muscle) and hid thru all the chemo etc. Good thing my son, who is into Homepathic medicine, had gotten me to drink water filtered thru a special machine that splits out the acidic water components leaving the alkali elements. Cancer cannot live in an alkali environmenet and it thrives in acidic one. Find a listing of foods that are mainly acidic and/or alkali. Even healthy foods like citrus foods are acidic. They can be avoided completely for a while so your body can get into alkali mode, or they can then be slowly included into things like salads. This water was used for many years in Japan after the atomic bomb was dropped leaving radiation sickness and damage to genetic components in the body. Water is different depending on the areas in the world and the environments. Taking out acidic components helps the water still be “alive” with the necessary components to be healthy water. Become informed about this water and the machine that connects to your incoming water source in your home and used daily for more things besides just drinking water. This has helped me so much in that when I took chemo & radiation treatments, my mouth did not break out, I did not have vomiting or diarreah or other discomforts from side effects . My oncologists were surprised that I did not have nausea or any other problems. I credit it to the Kangen water and avoiding certain foods at home and in the hospital. This could possible help you if you are willing to follow the instructions on diet also. I have finished all my treatments now and am feeling better.
and again. how many.especially in these days of austerity can afford these machines?
Hi there – can I please ask what treatment you received for kidney cancer?
Sad to say cancer is a good illustration of our lack of understanding of our bodies.
Perhaps in a 1000 years time we may understand all there is to know.
What a load of rubbish gets talked about on this subject. The only correct information is the analysis of the risks of Radon exposure. The rest is just conjecture with no scientific grounding.
Years ago when we went out for a drive down the Motorway etc we used to have to stop to wash the crushed flies and bugs off the windowscreen, today you can drive anywhere and not get one on the windowscreen so where have they all gone, what are they putting on our crops, the vegetables that we eat are absorbing these chemicals, and washing them is no good. I blame the supermarkets and I believe they use chlorine to wash the veg in such high amounts that is causing problems as well.
When we talk about cancer we always focus on artificial things such as additives, processed foods. packaging , personal care products and even the water we drink. tobacco smoke But nobody ever consider that the air we breath which is often polluted with carcinogenic materials that results from photochemical smog and even natural radioactivity..
We don’t even remember that we often reside in houses made of stones and concrete which are producers of radioactive noble gas radon from the natural decay of infintisimal amounts of radioactive elements uranium and thorium present in those construction materials..Take note aside from tobacco smoke the the second cause of lung cancer is radon inhalation which is difficult to avoid…if you live and reside in such homes made from stone materials..
Rubbish, human race would be extinct by now, if going by your hypothesis, that decay of bricks and other building materials in our homes causes cancer. I think, bros should do a proper homework on these sensitive issues before going public.
Radon gas – what it is, the health risks, measurement and action levels
Radon gas is produced during the radioactive decay of radium which comes from uranium. It is also referred to as Radon-222 and is often described as the daughter of the radioactive decay of radium.
It occurs naturally through the presence of uranium in most rocks, soils, bricks and concrete.
Radon gas itself does not present too serious a radiological hazard when breathed in and immediately exhaled. The problem lies with the decay products – the radon daughters – which behave like solids and can attach themselves to dust and moisture in the atmosphere. These solids can take up residence in lungs and airways and emit alpha particles which are known to cause cell damage.
We all breathe in radon to some extent and it accounts for half of the radiation dosage each of us receives. It is not possible to see, hear, smell or taste radon gas.
Outdoors, radon disperses harmlessly into the air, but once it finds its way indoors, through gaps and cracks in floors and walls, it may build up to potentially harmful levels.
The amount of gas released varies greatly depending on where you live and is more likely to be found in areas where the geology features concentrations of granite and limestone.
How radon gets into buildings
Generally radon rises up through cracks in the earth and simply disperses into the atmosphere. Warm air inside a house draws the gas in through flooring and any gaps or cracks in the building structure. Underground radon can collect in caves and mines. High concentrations of radon can also accumulate in confined spaces such as basements.
Health risks
Health data from nine European countries confirms that domestic exposure to radon increases the risk of lung cancer. In the UK between 1000 and 2000 deaths each year are estimated to be caused by exposure to radon. Results based on a European wide epidemiological study showed that the risk from radon is approximately 25 times higher for cigarette smokers than for non-smokers
Why are we allowed to sell this shit in America?
So much nonsense, where does one begin?
Plant-based does not equal safe. Switching over your toothpastes, sunscreen, deodorant or whatever to plant-based alternatives guarantees zilch. Depending on how well-tested they are, they could be more dangerous.
“Chlorine is a big red flag. If it is strong enough to kill all bacteria and other dangerous compounds in our water, do you really think it’s a good idea to pass it through our systems?”
Good example of scare tactics that have little to do with logic. Just because something can kill bacteria it shouldn’t be in our body? Seriously? What about our own white blood cells? What about the very strong acid inside our stomach? Of course Chlorine is toxic. It’s a matter of how much you have in your water, that’s all. Your water supplier should monitor your water and check chlorine levels (as well as other stuff btw). There are defined safety levels which should not be crossed, and that’s about it. Any substantiated actual STUDIES that show any correlation between drinking water and cancer btw? or just a general scare, for kicks?
Some true, some not true… organophthalates are contained in PVC not PET, PET is what our food and beverage containers are made from. Though, some food wraps or films do contain PVC derivatives.
Consumer Reports has been following the phthalates issue closely, with laboratory testing-
