According to reports, the head of the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization stated that by 2030, the number of global cancer patients will double compared to the year 2000, and new cancer cases will be concentrated in developing countries. To this end, the World Health Organization has proposed 15 cancer prevention guidelines:
1. Do not eat moldy grains or their products. When peanuts, soybeans, rice, flour, vegetable oil, etc., become moldy, they can produce aflatoxin, which is a potent carcinogen. [China Food]
2. Eat less smoked or pickled foods, such as smoked meat, cured meat, cured fish, pickled sauerkraut, pickled vegetables, etc., because these foods can produce a carcinogen—nitrosamines.
3. Do not drink alcohol, especially strong liquor. Because the production of alcohol generates various carcinogens, and alcohol can directly stimulate the oral, lingual, esophageal, gastric, and intestinal mucosa, which may lead to cancer.
4. Do not smoke. Inhaling cigarette smoke into the trachea and lungs is 50,000 times more harmful than air pollution, and cigarette smoke contains multiple carcinogens.
5. Do not or minimally contact the black smoke emitted from large chimneys, as the air polluted by it contains small amounts of carcinogens.
6. Do not eat vegetables, fruits, and other items contaminated with pesticides. Wash them thoroughly before eating.
7. Do not use washing powder to clean tableware, tea sets, or to wash food, as washing powder can promote the development of tumors.
8. Do not use toxic plastic wrap to package food or use toxic plastic products to hold food. Because polyvinyl chloride is a carcinogenic substance.
9. Do not overexpose yourself to the sun. The sun contains strong ultraviolet rays, and prolonged exposure can be carcinogenic to the skin.
10. Do not eat food that is too hot, too hard, burnt, or too salty, and do not drink water that is too hot. Because it can stimulate the gastric mucosal epithelial cells, destroy the protective function of the mucosal barrier, and create an opportunity for carcinogenesis.
11. Smoking and drinking at the same time will greatly increase the chance of getting cancer.
12. Eat more fresh vegetables, do not overeat, control meat intake, and maintain a healthy weight. This can reduce the incidence of cancer.
13. Do not often take drugs that may cause cancer, such as hormone drugs, large doses of vitamins, etc. These drugs can reduce a person's immune system, creating an opportunity for cancer to develop.
14. Women with cervical erosion should have regular check-ups and prompt treatment to prevent malignant transformation.
15. Adults or children with phimosis should have it surgically removed in a timely manner. After circumcision, it can prevent penile cancer.
