What can cause cancer?

Answer 1

I read a report a while back.

It stated that Peanut butter is cancerous. This was based on animal testing where rats or mice were given a diet of.... only peanut butter...

There are many things we eat on a daily basis that are thought to be healthy in small amounts, but if overdoing it, we get a terrible effect from it instead.

I read a Japanese research paper regarding cigarettes a couple of years back too.

This paper stated that One cigarette a day would strengthen our immunesystem rather than cause harm.

Not 100% sure what to trust all the time but that cigarettes is a main cause of cancer can not be denied.

Other causes not given that much thought includes (but does not limit to these):

• Radon Gas from under ground. This gas can build up inside houses that are well insulated.
• Radiation from various rocks. (localized phenomena, some times largish areas should be avoided.)
• Various oils and lubricants.
• Electricity and radiation thereof. (Children in kindergartens with electric floor heating have been reported of a higher rate of leukemia than children in kindergartens with water heated floors.)
• Living in close proximity to high voltage cables. (Reports are both supportive and non supportive of this. Other factors might have been ruled out in positive reports.)
• Various diseases can cause tissue degredation and ultimately the body creates cancerous cells when trying to repair damage because the DNA in affected cells are somewhat damaged beyond repair. Most virus have the ability to affect cells in a bad way, tampering with cells DNA and make the cells produce copies of the virus rather than make perfect copies of the cells.
