5- Cosmetics
[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_1″]
Cosmetics are regarded as temporary and incidental products, and their safety tests are mostly for allergic reactions, such as pain, change in skin color, and burning sensations.
Although it seems that any cosmetic ingredients will be gone after washing them off, certain sunscreen chemicals such as benzophenone-3 can still appear in urine many days after use.
This means that these chemicals are both absorbed and stored in the human body.
Other everyday cosmetics, as well as hair dyes, consist of many carcinogens, such as 1,4-dioxane, toluene, benzene, and formaldehyde.
The fragrances used in these products are especially doubtful since we don’t know what are they made of, because manufacturers never share their formula.

4- Burnt Food

The visual appeal and smoky flavor of burnt food, such as grilled fish, meat, and chicken, can actually improve your risk of pancreatic, colon, and stomach cancers.
Browning protein goodies causes their amino acids to convert into HCA (heterocyclic amines), many of which are carcinogenic due to their damaging effect on DNA.
HCA can also be produced when you cook protein foods on increased heat.
Grilling holds more cancer risk than other cooking techniques because the burning fat emits smoke which gets absorbed by the food. This smoke eventually produces polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, most of them are carcinogens.

3- Granite

Granite is widely used as countertops, or for wall cladding and flooring. It makes cleaning stainless and easy in comparison with marble.
However, this hardwearing stone can release radon, a radioactive gas which can promote cancer risk.
Granites can be found in different colors from different places around the world, their radioactivity can also vary.
The most dangerous thing about radon is its high density as well as the fact that it’s impossible to detect using human sense since it had no color or odor.
Radon is a leading cause of lung cancer and can only be detected through clinical tests.
You should make sure to avoid the risk of exposure by cutting down granite use and allowing proper ventilation where it’s used.
