Real unrealities: myths that are still alive

Mouth rinser

In the late 70's, studies were conducted that showed that rinsers with ethanol could cause oral cancer. Doctors claimed that rinsers make oral tissues susceptible to carcinogens.

Is this true? Perhaps it's time to ban all mouthwashes? And the American Association of Dentists assured that the evidence is not backed up by valid arguments. And in this case it's time to consider the harmfulness of mouth rinsers with a high alcohol content. And what are they more dangerous than those with a lower alcohol content? All this is rather vague.

Mouthwashes are safe for human health. This hygiene remedy is necessary for your mouth. But use 10 times a day is also not worth it. Dentists recommend rinsing the mouth 2-3 times a day after a meal, and not swallowing the liquid. Smoking people are advised to use mouth fluid without alcohol.

Sweeteners

Many follow their shape, and know the price of food. For every pie you eat, you have to pay! In the early 50's, sparkling diet water appeared. At this time, studies have confirmed that this water causes cancer. And then it was forbidden to sell dietary water.

It was found out that in the laboratory rats a tumor and sweetener saccharin is caused. But it was not banned, and continued to produce products with its content.

The National Cancer Institute of the United States states that there is no evidence of participle saccharin and cyclamate in the development of cancer. True, cyclamate is still considered a prohibited carcinogen, but saccharin was excluded from the list of prohibited products.

Deodorants and antiperspirants

How many can you hear interesting "facts" about the dangers of deodorants? Some studies have shown that paraben and aluminum containing antiperspirants mimic the hormone estrogen. And in large quantities, it can cause the development of breast cancer.

But is it true? There is still no confirmation of this theory, therefore this statement is just speculation. In 2004, it was discovered that the samples of breast cancer tissues were found. Almost 99% of people expose themselves to the impact of the drums that receive it with products and cosmetics. And there is no evidence that they can harm your health.

Brassieres

In 1995, one of the popular books "Clothes that kills us" was published. And there it was argued that women who wear bras take themselves at great risk. After all, underwear promotes the development of breast cancer. Bras can accumulate toxins, and this causes breast cancer.

So can it be away with bras? In fact, this theory is not scientifically confirmed. But women who do not wear them have less dense mammary glands, and this reduces the risk of developing breast cancer.

What causes cancer?

Washing powder

If you assess the danger of a detergent and its effect on health, then from 5 balls you can safely put a solid three. The powder contains 1.4 dioxane. After getting rid of heavy spots, the powder leaves toxic substances on things. Dioxane causes liver cancer in rats. Studies are still ongoing.

This chemical can not be found on the powder labels. It is not a component of a detergent, it is an impurity. Doctors recommend buying environmentally friendly washing powder. If the label has a name such as "ETN", polyethylene glycol, polyoxyethylene, this may be an indication that the powder contains dioxane.

Bread, French fries, chips

There is such a wonderful substance as acrylamide. It is used for wastewater treatment, and it is found in chips, bread, tasty donuts and french fries. Foods rich in carbohydrates, when heat-treated, release asparagine an amino acid that reacts with sugar. This forms this substance - acrylamide.

When this substance is used, it can lead to a DNA mutation. Fans of potatoes are recommended to use for a couple of hours soak potatoes, and cook at lower temperatures.

Brown rice

This product can be considered the most dangerous. Not so long ago, studies confirmed that brown rice contains a large amount of toxic metal, even more than in white. This substance is arsenic. To avoid health problems, rice should be thoroughly washed before use until the water is completely clear. When cooking rice, increase the amount of water three times.

Electronic cigarettes

Many people try to get rid of this bad habit - smoking. To do this, came up with electronic cigarettes, they are very similar. Even with what can cause cancer. Nitrosamines were found in some brands of cigarettes. These are carcinogens that can cause swelling. Therefore, it is worth giving up any cigarettes.

Nemnuschayasya fabric

When we buy a new dress or shirt, it is worth checking the fabric. There is no strength, but the way it crumples. If the fabric after it crumpled, immediately straightened, then we can conclude that it was treated with formaldehyde. It is necessary to refrain from such things or carefully wash it. Formaldehyde can provoke cancerous tumors. A single wash can reduce formaldehyde emissions to 50%.
