Carcinogens are around us every day. Taking them with food, however, they become an internal factor. Thus they become a component influencing the energy of physiological functions and structural elements in human organs and tissues.

The food that modern man eats every day, in addition to energy material, also contains components of non-food origin. They are generally called foreign substances or xenobiotics. Their group includes radionuclides, poisonous chemicals, nitrates and nitrites, mycotoxins, various types of biological microorganisms and viruses and others.

Another factor playing a role is carcinogens. They have the ability in some cases on their own, but in most after a certain treatment to modify a cell and turn it into malignant. Scientists claim that only 50 g of smoked sausage can contain as many carcinogens as a pack of cigarettes.

In the process of eating, we take in different types of carcinogens, without even suspecting that they are harmful. In the first place are nitrates, nitrites and nitro compounds, which appear as a result of modern agronomic measures, the use of mineral fertilizers in vegetables and other plant products. They contain many nitrates, which are transformed into carcinogenic nitro compounds.

Processes such as the treatment of products with smoke, canning, salting and baking accelerate the formation of carcinogenic nitro compounds in them. Freezing is used to slow down the process, and boiling water is used to dissolve the nitrates.

When meat is treated with smoke, many carcinogens also accumulate on it. Foods affected by molds are full of mycotoxins. They can cause cancer of the liver, intestines and colon. If you notice mold, discard the product immediately.

Dioxins accumulate in environmental products. They are chlorine-containing hazardous substances and are waste from the production of chemical and oil refineries, transformer oils, pesticides and herbicides, in the incineration of waste, especially plastic bottles, plastic bags, packaging and in the chlorination of drinking water. Such are lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, cobalt, nickel, which enter the body most often from the polluted environment.

Genetically modified products are the scourge of modern man. The harms of them are still being studied, and the only one proven is the most terrible - their consumption leads to the appearance of cancer.
