why do seemingly random things “give you cancer”?

497 views

Every time I see someone touch oil or breathe in fumes or dust( or other dirty things), I always see “hes gonna get cancer” in comments. I always kind of just accepted it as truth, but do they actually give you cancer? like how can breathing in some dust make your cells divide weirdly and give you cancer?

Pretty simply, the human body evolved to eat and drink natural substances, or at least naturally derived food, like an egg. Substitutes and artificial food and beverages are human made, and much of the time made of varying chemicals and substances deemed to be safe to eat. But, what is deemed “safe to eat” isn’t always so. Take aspartame, an artificial sugar substitute. The World Health Organization is putting this on a list of probable human carcinogens meNing it causes cancer. Aspartame is found is many sugar free diet foods like Diet Coke. You can’t just remove the sugar without replacing it with something, and aspartame is one of those somethings. And it’s like this for many foods that are diet, fat free, or sugar free. Something was removed, so they came up with something to add that flavor back.

Of course the same applies to smoking too. That first drag you take and literally coughing your lungs up is your body telling you, “Don’t do that.” But as you can see from the rapidly declining IQ’s in this nation how well people listen to anything that’s not thier own mouth talking. Cigarettes are full of bad chemicals, and nicotine is actually a poision with addictive properties. Cigarettes are literally designed to get you addicted, keep you buying more and supporting thier incom stream, and give you health issues so they can milk you with medical bills. And pot really isn’t any better. There is an actual study that say’s it can cause stunted Braun development and cognitive growth issues in people with still developing brains, or basically anyone under the age of 25.
