Cancer - Are We a Do it Your Self Cancer Society? Part I
Most people will tell you that nearly all cancers are hereditary and that there is nothing we can do to prevent getting it if we have the genetic predisposition for getting cancer in the first place.
But is this really true? But as more data is gathered about cancers their causes and effects, scientists are now stating what some of us have already known for centuries.
The lifestyle, eating habits, and environmental influences are the cause of most cancers.
As it turns out many cancers are do-it-yourself diseases.
We increased our risk of developing this straight disease by credit exposure to certain lifestyle and environmental factors.
What we eat and what we drink where we live in where we were, and what we breathe may well determine whether we become a cancer statistic.
Even though medical science claims to continue to make strides towards super cancer drugs, early detection, and improved treatments, the fact of the matter is that the overall death rate for many cancers continues to increase at an alarming pace.
One in four American now dies of cancer.
The rise in cancer that we see in our society today could be easily reversed.
If we would simply take the proportions, and adopt preventative medicine, then 70 to 80% of cancers that devastates Americans could be prevented.
Most people will tell you that they would be willing to do just about anything to avoid getting cancer and died of cancer.
But this almost anything, it seems stops short of a lifestyle change.
An example of this is lung cancer.
Lung cancer kills more men and women in the United States than any other type of cancer.
Lung cancer claims over 128,000 people a year.
Even though the Surgeon General report on the dangers of smoking and its relations to lung cancer in 1964 , we have known about the dangers, but there are more people smoking now than back then.
As it turns out a lifestyle change has been rejected by most Americans, and we go on living, and eating, and engaging in the things that causes this deadly disease.
One in every four adult Americans still smoke.
Yet close to 90% of the cancers of the lung, lip, mouth, tongue, throat, esophagus could be prevented if people are simply stop using tobacco products.
In men the second and third most frequently occurring cancer are of the prostate and colon.
And for women it is a cancer of the breast and colon.
Most of these cancers are linked directly to two much that, and animal protein, in the diet.
Carcinogens that is cancer producing chemicals are a concern in modern diet, especially due to the fact that most of the food that we eat are highly processed, and contains additives, preservatives, flavor enhancers, pesticides, and other chemicals that we use in producing and packaging of our food.
Compared with diets around the 1900s, the average American now eats one third more fat, and one third less fiber.
In parts of the world where fat intake is little in fiber intake is high incidence of colon cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancers are negligible.
In contrast, countries such as the United States, Canada, New Zealand, where diets are low in fiber but high in fact, the rates for these kinds of cancers are way higher.
The best way to avoid most of the cancers in our society is drastic and radical lifestyle changes.
Changes in the way we eat, what we eat and and when we eat.
