Cancer causing products you use everyday

I don't think that the media intended to scare the public, although the report can really be scary. Considering that the sources are legitimate and are based on clinical studies, the report should be taken as an informative precaution for everybody. I didn't mean that I believe it and it doesn't mean also that the report is wrong. In my case, it's not a matter of believing but the report but an open suggestion to be aware. The reason why I posted it here is for us to discuss it, perhaps after doing some sort of research since the matter is very technical in nature. Anyway, regardless of its scary content, it is still up to our own decision whether to be concern, be reminded of, or just take it not that so seriously. Thanks for reminding me not to believe everything that I read.

Thanks for that warm and endearing welcome! I agree with you that these days, we better check the labels of food packaging and if possible check these products on BFAD's website if these products pose risk for human consumption. Now these efforts of researching can be our tool for a healthier life and safe food consumption. Have a nice day also!

Ha ha! Yeah, you're absolutely correct...so beware with smokers in the public and smoke belchers on the road. Have a good day too and thanks for your warm welcome!

You're right! We cannot avoid all these products, but as much as possible, if there are healthier or more organic substitute or alternative, then we can choose them and take or consume them in moderation.

Yeah, as a Pinoy, who wouldn't love to wake up with fried rice, fried fish and coffee in the morning? Good for you that you're not a coffee addict ( I consider myself as one...but that was since yesterday...haha!) Today, I managed to lessen my coffee intake from regular of 10-12 cups, I just consumed 7 cups and with less sugar. Previously I would mix 1 and 1/4 teaspoon of white refined sugar, but I've decided to reduce to 3/4 teaspoon. Every time I scoop sugar, I just picture in mind those severe diabetic patients who got blind or were cut off with limbs(....ouch! That really hurts!) and then I would visualize myself as having a healthy and fit body with money not wasted to insulin. The visualization helps and I hope someday I'll learn to motivate myself to really learn consume sweets as properly and healthy suggested and not scare myself. By the way, I browsed the website of WHO and checked salted dried fish. WHO recommends to lessen sodium (which is in salt). So perhaps we can choose unsalted dried fishes. Here in Pangasinan, we have this unsalted danggit, unsalted in the sense that after catching these fishes, the fishermen will immediately remove intestines, gills and other internal abdominal parts, and then they will wash with fresh sea water and then dry them up without sprinkling table salt or iodized salt anymore. The salt from seawater will serve as the dried fish's salt when dried. The fishermen will sell it immediately after drying it for a day or two as the dried fish would be saltier in taste after several days as indicated with more brownish color. This type of dried fish is very tasty, the meat is still tender although it costs a little more expensive. regular sizes (that's half of a mature man's palm) would cost P180-P200 per 1/4 kilo.
