What is cancer? Well, it’s not one disease but about 200 different diseases like leukemia, lung cancer, skin cancer and many more. The truth about cancer starts with what causes cancer. 80% of cancer is caused by environmental factors like indoor air pollution, water pollution, outdoor air pollution, consumption of carcinogenic chemicals in your food, water, tobacco smoke, alcohol, and occupational hazards like exposure to cancer-causing chemicals. It can feel like everywhere you go there’s a carcinogen, but that doesn’t mean you’ll get cancer. Concentration, duration, and your genes all play a role in how much your DNA has been damaged.
