You can reduce your risk for cancer by avoiding carcinogens. Here are some ways.
Step 1: Avoid foam packaging
Avoid foam food packaging, which contains styrene that can be transferred to food inside. Animal studies have shown a link to cancer.
Tip
Styrene was found in the urine samples of 87 percent of people tested in a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study.
Step 2: Avoid tetrachloroethylene
Avoid taking your clothes to dry cleaners that use tetrachloroethylene as a cleaning compound. The agent has been found to cause liver cancer and leukemia in rats. Alternative dry cleaning compounds include silicone- and hydrocarbon-based solvents.
Step 3: Limit titanium dioxide
Limit your exposure to titanium dioxide, which is found in cosmetics, paints, paper, and plastics. Animal studies have confirmed the compound's carcinogenicity.
Tip
The jury is still out on whether titanium dioxide nanoparticles found in cosmetics can be absorbed by the skin, and if they are absorbed, what their effects would be.
Step 4: Stay away from diesel exhaust
Avoid diesel exhaust. These fumes have been linked to cancer in animal studies. Since diesel fumes are practically everywhere, your best bet for avoiding them is probably to move to an unpopulated tropical island.
Step 5: Reduce aromatic hydrocarbons
Reduce your exposure to aromatic hydrocarbons by limiting your consumption of smoked, barbecued, or burnt foods.
Step 6: Eat organic foods
Consider eating more organic foods. Organic foods contain lower concentrations of problematic food additives. Now you can enjoy a long, healthy life!
Did You Know?
Approximately 100 new food and color additive petitions are submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration annually. Additives cannot be approved if they are found to cause cancer in humans or animals.

Food in WESTERN COUNTRIES are all carcinogenic. You guys eat bacon and sausages and processed food everyday. That's life expectancy is lower than us and cancer rate higher than us.
I have to move to a tropical island just to prevent cancer D:
unfortunately its not illegal to test things on animals how do you think they found out that things work and dont kill humans they are not allowed to preform human trials until they test on animals its sad but when we are using all of these chemicals they have to test them b4 they provide them to the public solution just use natural things completly organic
Nice video, thanks for the information.
this wasnt a very good example to expain.
Animal studies, animal studies, animal studies … more like ANIMAL CRUELTY! Don't you know it's illegal to test things on animals?
Moving to an unpopulated island I think I could do. But what do I do when I get a appendicitis?!?
I'm assuming smoking wasn't mentioned because it's a given.
Fuck this shit, EVERYTHING IS A CARCINOGEN!
basically live in a bio hazard bubble suit
@rhiana1995 We're all living, eating and breathing. Usually, things that affect animals also affect people. So this does prove something, even though most of us can't avoid a lifestyle full of carcinogens. Sucks for us.
Step 1: Stop Living.
another reason to make me paranoid THANKS HOWCAST!
notice how they say "animal studies show" In other words, tested on animals, not humans. This proves nothings. x
@johnrivierok ive been doin it for awile and it helps prevent all diseases!!!. so use glass and stainles steel with all ur foods!!!
'Bye dear, bye kids! I'm moving to an unpopulated island for the rest of my life, and you will never see me again!'
'But why, honey?'
'Howcast told me to, baby. Howcast…'
This is UNDOABLE!!
yeah, like im going to move to a unpopulated island.
wtf howcast
… now no one will do it hahahahahaha
