The countless everyday things that can cause cancer that people don't realize

Many people don't understand the causes of cancer. They think that the way to eliminate cancer is to kill cancer cells. All these people think of cancer is to fight it like retards.

The real cause of cancer is the unnatural interference of the cells' reproduction. When cells don't reproduce properly, they mutate into abnormal cells that become cancerous. Everyone has in their body a very small amount of such abnormal mutated cells that did not copy properly.

The everyday things that can increase such cancerous cells in the bodies are things that interfere with the normal cell reproduction. Such factors range from the chemicals in skin and beauty products, the toxic pesticide and herbicide chemicals in food, the chemicals in meat, the electromagnetic radiation from cellphones and internet usage etc etc.

Many people especially women use lots of beauty products, which is why they have such a high number of breast cancer rate. People should cut down the number of chemical-filled products they buy from stores and not get caught up by beauty advertisements that only encourage people to keep on using those chemical-filled products like there's no tomorrow.

The ways to prevent cancer is to:

cut down the usage of such artificial ingredients in skin care products, 

eat more pesticide-free organic foods, 

use a wired earpiece for talking on phones, 

drink distilled water, 

wear slippers at home so that one's feet would not get into contact with the residue from floor detergent on the floor, 

swim only in clean water rather than the chlorine-rich swimming pool, 

prevent spraying perfume on the skin, 

use chemical-free sunblock, 

wear gloves when using kitchen cleaning spray,

eat less processed preserved foods,

take natural antibiotics such as colloidal silver rather than artificial medicine,

take lemon juice for sore throat rather than strepsils or cough syrup,

rinse and don't wash the dishes and pots with detergent if possible,

reduce using hair products with chemicals but use coconut oil instead,

use natural dyes for colouring the hair,

reduce using eye drops but use water instead,

avoid using lots of make up,

rinse the mouth with salt water and lemon juice instead of using mouth wash,

use colloidal silver lotion for pimples rather than overdose on pimple cream,

use cheap shampoo that contain natural ingredients,

use coconut oil for moisturiser rather than chemical-filled moisturisers,

use kid's toothpaste rather than adult toothpaste,

try not to wash the clothes so often that would only expose the skin to lots of chemicals from detergent,

try not to use chlorine to whiten the clothes,

coat hands with coconut oil to prevent chemicals from things like receipts from entering the skin,

use home made shaving cream instead of store bought ones,

use negative ion devices to prevent cancer,

eat less microwaved food,

use BPA-free plastic bottles and use more glass containers to store food,

reduce grilling and baking of food,

take frequent breaks to recover from one's exposure to chemicals and radiation by staying home and resting.

Explaining the real health threats from GMOs

GMO OMG is the documentary to watch in 2014 about the health effects of GMOs. Rats fed with GMOs in studies have been found with giant-sized tumours. A 2-year lifespan of a rat is equal to a lifetime period for humans. By the end of the first year, the rats were found to have those tumors.

GMOs that are altered to withstand Monsanto's Round Up herbicide have the greatest levels of herbicides/pesticides, conventional have moderate and organic have the least contamination.

Glyphosate induces human breast cancer cells growth via estrogen receptors
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0278691513003633

"Glyphosate is an active ingredient of the most widely used herbicide and it is believed to be less toxic than other pesticides. However, several recent studies showed its potential adverse health effects to humans as it may be an endocrine disruptor. This study focuses on the effects of pure glyphosate on estrogen receptors (ERs) mediated transcriptional activity and their expressions."

"These results indicated that low and environmentally relevant concentrations of glyphosate possessed estrogenic activity."

Bioaccumulation – “Progressive increase in the amount of a substance in an organism or part of an organism which occurs because the rate of intake exceeds the organism’s ability to remove the substance from the body.”

How Eating Meat Can Indeed Be as Bad as Smoking Cigarettes

I saw many people disagreeing with an article from The Guardian on how eating animal protein can be as bad as smoking cigarettes. I wasn't surprised that the people who disagree with the article are currently eating meat and want to continue eating it.

Their response to the article—
http://www.todayonline.com/voices/report-protein-rich-diet-was-misleading
http://robbwolf.com/2014/03/04/meat-bad-cigarettes/
http://www.zoeharcombe.com/2014/03/animal-protein-as-bad-as-smoking/

The National Health Service in UK(NHS) misread the study and did not realize the article was referring to a meat protein diet—
http://www.nhs.uk/news/2014/03March/Pages/high-protein-diet-may-be-harmful-for-middle-aged.aspx


The following is my response to all of them—

Cooked meat contains heterocyclic amines(HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs).

Chemicals in Meat Cooked at High Temperatures and Cancer Risk
http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk/cooked-meats

"-Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are chemicals formed when muscle meat, including beef, pork, fish, and poultry, is cooked using high-temperature methods, such as pan frying or grilling directly over an open flame.

-The formation of HCAs and PAHs is influenced by the type of meat, the cooking time, the cooking temperature, and the cooking method."

There is a strong correlation of Denmark's high grilled red meat consumption with its no.1 ranking for cancer rate in the world.

I wrote something about red meat consumption and its correlation to cancer a while ago.

http://thethinktankguideforsmarterliving.blogspot.sg/2014/02/getting-full-dirt-on-denmark-happiest.html

Grilled red meat shops are popular in Denmark and Denmark has the highest number of meat-cooking grills per capita. This high consumption of red meat correlates with Denmark having the top spot for the rate of cancer for all countries in the world, which seems too high of a direct correlation even if their free medical system allows more people to be detected from the life-threatening disease. The exercise the Danes get from cycling don't seem to be able to offset the effects of the toxins that come from eating cooked meat.

(Even a Danish Professor from the Department of Public Health at a Danish University has advised on the cutting down of red meat)

Addressing the Misconception that Cancer is Caused by Consuming Acidic Foods

There is the popular misconception that cancer is caused or promoted with acidic foods but this is untrue. If cancer is really caused by mere acidic environments then everybody's stomach would have become cancerous. Cancer is more likely caused by the consumption of toxin-containing foods that can promote the mutation of cells that would lead to cancer.

The acidity or alkalinity of the foods consumed into the body are not able to affect the body's acidity except the urine.


Here are the main points I want to make in this article—

1) Cancerous cells are not caused by acidity or alkalinity of the foods consumed but more likely due to the toxins contained in them that cause cells to mutate and turn cancerous.
2) It is not possible to change the blood's pH level to become more overly-alkaline or overly-acidic from diet. The pH level in the stomach(based on digestion acid and food) does not affect the pH level in the rest of the body such as the blood.
3) One should manage the pH level of the stomach with diet for optimal digestion and overall health.


Acidity of the Stomach and Acidity of the Body/Blood

People need to distinguish the difference between the acidity that is present in the stomach and the acidity that is present in the body/blood. The stomach has to be very acidic to function optimally to digest food. However, if the blood's pH becomes too overly-acidic(or overly-alkaline) for some reason then serious consequences will occur due to the disruption of the pH level. But the body is already well-equipped to automatically manage the blood's pH level to prevent it from becoming too acidic or too alkaline. Therefore, people don't have to worry too excessively about the blood turning acidic by overly consuming alkaline-causing foods and drinking things like alkaline/mineral water, which could more likely hinder the stomach's proper digestion of foods.


Healthy and Cancerous Cells Both Require Acidic Environment to Function

The body(area outside of the stomach) is slightly acidic and its healthy cells require an acidic environment to survive. Cancer cells also create a more acidic environment themselves. Both healthy and cancerous cells are not able to survive in an alkaline environment. To eliminate cancer is therefore not by attempting to change the body's pH to be overly-alkaline which is impossible anyway, but to refrain from consuming toxin-containing foods.


Stomach's Acidity

Even though cancer is not caused by food acidity, it would be wise to manage the pH level of the stomach for proper digestion and well-being. If the stomach becomes too acidic due to the consumption of overly acidic-causing foods, it could lead to stomach discomfort. If it is too alkaline such as due to the consumption of alkaline/mineral water then digestion cannot occur optimally. This is why a stomach that cannot digest food properly would do better by consuming vinegar or acidic fruits. And a stomach that is too acidic would do well with consuming alkaline-causing foods such as fruits and vegetables that are alkaline.


Lemons are Alkaline-Causing, Oranges are Acidic-Causing

Lemons has overall more negative ions compared to positive ions so this makes lemons to have an alkalizing effect, and they are very efficient to neutralize an overly-acidic stomach. Other citrus fruits such as oranges and grapefruit have more positive ions compared to negative ions so those are acidic.


To reiterate the main points—

1) Cancerous cells are not caused by acidity or alkalinity of the foods consumed but more likely due to the toxins contained in them that causes cells to mutate and turn cancerous.
2) It is not possible to make the blood's pH level to become more alkaline or acidic from diet. The pH level in the stomach(based on digestion acid and food) does not affect the pH level in the rest of the body such as the blood.
3) One should manage the pH level of the stomach with diet for optimal digestion and overall health.

Getting The Full Dirt on Denmark, The 'Happiest Nation' in the World

Denmark was mentioned to be the "Happiest Nation" in an international survey while also having the highest taxes in the world. As I examined the Danish culture closely, I managed to understand the true nature of their kind of "Happiness".

The Happiest (and Saddest) Countries
http://www.livescience.com/39489-the-happiest-countries.html


Very Flawed and Subjective Global Happiness Survey

The international survey to gauge people's level of "happiness" was actually very flawed, because firstly, the interpretation of the Happiness emotion is very subjective and people from the different countries interviewed might not be referring to the same emotional state when the survey was conducted. My definition of Happiness is based on freedom/liberation. Secondly, it is not the same group of people who are measuring Happiness across different countries therefore there is no real comparison and measurement of the same thing. Therefore, the global Happiness survey is pretty much asking people of different nationalities what they feel of something that is only found in their own country.


Oprah in Denmark

From a TV segment where Oprah visited Denmark, the Danes mentioned their source of Happiness as coming from many areas. They value group gatherings, contentment, a sense of financial and social security as the main factors of their Happiness. Oprah interviews one of the Danish women and asks whether Denmark practices socialism and she said no.

High Pollution-Contributing Rate From Meat-Eating

Denmark is among one of the heaviest consumers of meat in the world ranked at 9th and 11th places in different reports. The meat industry is one of the heaviest production of pollution, green house gases and suffering to animals. Although cycling is one of the main modes of travel for the Danes, I don't think it can offset much of their contributed pollution that comes from animal farming. It seems that cold cut meats are very convenient and matches very well with their staple of dark rye bread, but such a convenience comes with a huge expense at the planet's ecosystem.

Highest Household Debt in the World

Denmark has the highest household debt in the world, no doubt their high taxes and 25% goods and service tax being some of the main contributors. While their high tax rate has enabled Denmark to have the supposed smallest rich-poor gap in the world, I perceive the small gap to represent the bridge between those in financial debt and those who are not.

Does Denmark Practice Socialism?

I have heard some Danes commenting that Denmark is a socialist society but I am quite confused by all their different descriptions and how it doesn't fit in with the definitions mentioned elsewhere. I do not think that all Danes practice socialism, but the kind of welfare state management does make it a good foundation for socialism, collectivism and communism to occur, whether or not their government and some of its citizens officially declare to be supporters of such practices. Denmark does have a Socialist People's Party in the Government.

Denmark Described to Be Horrible

A Social Anthropologist on Denmark
http://www.partapuoli.com/Texts/A_horrible_place.htm


How a Welfare State Such as Denmark Can Fail For Some Citizens

To survive well in Denmark, one has to take good advantage of the free education and free medical care to later on earn a good salary. If one doesn't take advantage of the free education in Denmark to study up to the university level, one could end up with a comparatively low-paying job and end up in financial debt and social welfare as one starts a family, which could then lead to the consumption of anti-depressants, alcohol abuse and suicide.

Some Danes have claimed that Denmark has the smallest gap in social disparity. However, this small gap only seem to apply on the financial aspect. For other areas like mental health, physical health and Happiness, there seems to be a very large gap between 2 distinct groups of Danish people — a gap that seems to be the largest in the world.

Margaret Thatcher on Socialism
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okHGCz6xxiw


Since not everyone in society has high-enough intelligence to complete a university degree, there would always be people who would not be able to gain high education and end up with a much lower-paying job compared to the rest of the population. Therefore, the welfare method practiced by Denmark is not a foolproof solution to reduce social disparity in the areas of income, mental health and happiness.

Money is Not All That Matters

High taxes in Denmark seems to create a widening in the people who feel happy/contented and those who feel miserable. Perhaps, it is true that financial security from having money does not necessarily lead to happiness(or emotional well-being) but mainly support a sense of financial security and contentment.

If Denmark doesn't get its act together, it could decline very soon due to rising rates of cancer, alcohol deaths and debt. Denmark has a very similar population size compared to Singapore, yet Singapore doesn't have the kind of health and debt problems that the Danes face. Perhaps the tropical weather in Singapore made most of the difference.


What Kind of Happiness in Denmark?

Positive Psychology groups Happiness into 4 major types: Hedonic(pleasure), Chaironic(spiritual), Eudamonic(purpose, greater good) and Prudential(flow in life)Happiness. It seems that the Happiness found in Denmark comes mainly from the Hedonic type that comes from feeling safe, and eating and drinking in the company of others, something the Danish refer to as "hygge". I don't think their cold gloomy weather would contribute much to prudential happiness but can serve to restrict it.

But Denmark does have some amount of good artistic expression seen in their modern architecture and music. Even though Danish society can serve to induce depression, cancer and suicide like all other nations in the world, I think there can still be some exceptional Danes that could thrive even in Danish society by overcoming the restriction and feel truly Happy by achieving liberation and freedom.

The Art of Danish Hygge
http://www.visitdenmark.com/en-us/denmark/culture/art-danish-hygge

Happiness can be created responsibly as well as through apathy and indifference. I think if the Danes start to become more responsible to their health and seriously restrict the consumption of grilled red meat and alcohol, their rates for cancer, anti-depressant usage, suicide and alcohol death would greatly decrease.

Every country in the world has its own good and bad aspects. Denmark's ranking to be the happiest nation in the world might seem to be an exaggeration and over-generalization.
