In this video, we’re going to talk about 8 causes of cancer that may surprise you.

Keep in mind that exposure to carcinogens typically has to be chronic to increase your risk of cancer.

Take a look at these 8 potential causes of cancer:

1. MSG - Glutamate converts to glutamine, which can feed cancer cells.

2. Chronic stress - Stress can cause cortisol resistance, inflammation, and white blood cell suppression, which can all potentially increase your risk of cancer.

3. Diabetes - Studies link diabetes to increased cancer risk.

4. Zinc oxide - This is found in sunscreen, and can cause excess free radicle damage.

5. Working night shifts - Research in 2007 concluded that working irregular night shifts is a possible carcinogen.

6. Grilled meat/fish - Grilling meat and fish can create carcinogenic compounds in your food. Certain herbs and spices can help offset the carcinogenic effects.

7. Breast implants - Chemicals from breast implants can leach out into your tissues, potentially increasing your risk of cancer.

8. Second-hand smoke - An estimated 40,000 people die each year from second-hand smoke.
