11 surprising things that increase can.cer risk

Acrylamide is a chemical that’s formed in starchy foods when you cook them at a higher temperature. Cooking starchy foods above 248 degrees F appears to cause the formation of acrylamide which has been linked with DNA damage and cancer in lab animals.
Acrylamide is listed as a “probable carcinogen” by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. However, eating foods with acrylamide hasn’t been directly associated with a higher risk of cancer in humans.
In addition to acrylamide, burned meat is also an issue. Avoid store-bought marinades with high levels of sugar and high-fructose corn syrup because they may triple the amount of HCAs which are toxic and carcinogenic compounds.
Sedentary lifestyle
In a 2014 analysis published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, a sedentary lifestyle was associated with a higher risk of endometrial, lung, and colon cancer.
The risk of cancer increased with every two-hour increase in the sitting period.
Night shifts
Around 15 percent of Americans work a night shift.
Unfortunately, working at night has been associated with a higher risk of cancer in some individuals. In a study with mice, MIT researchers concluded that night shifts mess up the natural circadian rhythm of the body.
They also found that two genes linked with the circadian rhythm also act as tumor suppressors.
The mice in the study that were exposed to abnormal lighting had quicker and more aggressive tumor growth.
