生活百科 如何避免接触致癌物

[视频文本]
You can reduce your risk for cancer by avoiding carcinogens. Here are some ways.

 

You Will Need

*Non-styrene food packaging
*Organic foods

Step 1: Avoid foam packaging 避免泡沫包装：食品包装含苯乙烯，会转移到食物里。
Avoid foam food packaging, which contains styrene that can be transferred to food inside. Animal studies have shown a link to cancer.

Styrene was found in the urine samples of 87 percent of people tested in a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study.

Step 2: Avoid tetrachloroethylene 避免四氯乙烯：衣服尽量不要送到干洗店去洗，因为他们会使用四氯乙烯作为洗涤剂。
Avoid taking your clothes to dry cleaners that use tetrachloroethylene as a cleaning compound. The agent has been found to cause liver cancer and leukemia in rats. Alternative dry cleaning compounds include silicone- and hydrocarbon-based solvents.

Step 3: Limit titanium dioxide 限制接触二氧化钛：化妆品、颜料、纸张和塑料中都含有二氧化钛。
Limit your exposure to titanium dioxide, which is found in cosmetics, paints, paper, and plastics. Animal studies have confirmed the compound’s carcinogenicity.

The jury is still out on whether titanium dioxide nanoparticles found in cosmetics can be absorbed by the skin, and if they are absorbed, what their effects would be.

Step 4: Stay away from diesel exhaust 远离机动车排除的尾气。
Avoid diesel exhaust. These fumes have been linked to cancer in animal studies. Since diesel fumes are practically everywhere, your best bet for avoiding them is probably to move to an unpopulated tropical island.

Step 5: Reduce aromatic hydrocarbons 减少芳烃：少吃烧烤食物。
Reduce your exposure to aromatic hydrocarbons by limiting your consumption of smoked, barbecued, or burnt foods.

Step 6: Eat organic foods 多吃有机食品
Consider eating more organic foods. Organic foods contain lower concentrations of problematic food additives. Now you can enjoy a long, healthy life!

Approximately 100 new food and color additive petitions are submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration annually. Additives cannot be approved if they are found to cause cancer in humans or animals.
