Your moms carcinogens are in pesticides?!?!?!?!?!
Carcinogens are the substances which cause cells to grow abnormally and cause an overgrowth.

Organic foods are non-GMO. They are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides. They do not contain additives or preservatives that are non-organic and may be carcinogens or otherwise unhealthy. Since pesticides are not used, organically grown food does not cause the harm to the environment and soil that foods produced using synthetic pesticides possibly do.
A carcinogen is anything that causes cancer in humans or animals. Carcinogens can be chemical or physical agents or radiation. Chemical carcinogens include molecular substances that are found in a variety of different compounds, such as cigarette smoke and some pesticides; physical carcinogens are particles of soft or hard material that are not soluble in water. They exist as a solid compound. Ionizing radiation is an example of a radioactive carcinogen, as is found in UV light and medical x-rays
Not as big an issue nowadays as it used to be. Most the ones that are/were known carcinogens have gone away or more eco freindly/environmentally friendly alternatives are being used instead.
While TruGreen markets itself as environmentally friendly, many of the chemicals it uses are known carcinogens. The uses of chemical pesticides is never truly environmentally friendly.
Since carcinogens are cancer-causing agents, any release of carcinogens will increase, not decrease, cancer risk. Avoiding and reducing carcinogens will decrease the risk of cancer.
Carcinogens, by definition, create cancers, which often lead to death.
UV light, radiation, tobacco Mobile phones (cellphones), caffeine and Vitamin K. Talcum powder, fluorescent lighting and electric fields. (Check them out on the IARC website!)
A carcinogen affects the body in an adverse way. Carcinogens cause the cells in the body to multiply too fast causing organs to be unable to function normally. Carcinogens are what causes cancer in the human body.
