 Breast cancer in women found to be an important risk factor

Every year millions of women around the world die of breast cancer.

It is the most common type of cancer in women and now an important factor that increases their risk has been revealed and it is the entry of dangerous chemicals into the body through food.

In a research published in the journal Frontiers in Toxicology, it was clarified that 189 chemicals or carcinogens that potentially cause breast cancer are mostly found in food contact materials (FCM), which are used in food packaging.

What is a food contact material?

Food Contact Materials (FCM) are substances and products that are used directly or indirectly during food production processing, packaging, storage and consumption.

Researchers have identified 40 chemicals present in food packaging as dangerous and potentially cancer-causing properties.

Apart from this, in the research, it was discovered that people are adding 76 cancer-causing chemicals to their body with their food.

It was reported in the research that there is a rapid increase in breast cancer in women under 40 years of age, while women of this age are also suffering from this disease and a large number of women die.
