THE PRIORITY CARCINOGENS AND HOW TO PREVENT THE ONCOLOGIC DESEASES

At first, we have to stress that number of deaths due to the oncologic deseases of all types is constantly increasing all over the world (see the number of death for 100 000 people in the table. The detailed analysis shows, that the key factors, influencing the number of deaths due to the oncologic deseases are: 1) the priority carcinogens, both organic (organochlorine pesticides, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and acryl amide) and inorganic (heavy metals), which because of the various reasons contaminate food and drinks; 2) smoking of tobacco (benz(a)pyrene) and electronic cigarettes (formaldehyde); 3) drinking too much alcohol (affecting brain, heart, lever and prostate); 4) in the countries, where many people live at the elevated level, the very high percentage of the oncologic deseases is due to the skin cancer (for example, in Armenia – one third of the whole number of deseases). To decrease the number of deaths due to the oncologic deseases we have to: 1) stop eating of meat, fish, poultry and vegetables, cooked by means of burning timber and coal because of saturation of these products with carcinogenic polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons; 2) limit the ways of appearance of heavy metals in our food; 3) stop cooking potato, coffee and grains, containing aspartic acid at the temperatures higher then 1200C due to decomposition of this acid into carcinogenic acryl amide at these temperatures; 4) stop smoking tobacco and electronic cigarettes because of carcinogenic benz(a)pyrene and formaldehyde; 5) stop drinking alcohol (more than 20 ml of ethanol per day); 6) limit irradiation of our skin with the strong sunshine.
