11 surprising things that increase can.cer risk

Viruses like HIV and Epstein-Barr have been linked to cancer in various studies. According to researchers, 95 percent of the population gets the EBV virus by adulthood.
Also known as mononucleosis or the kissing disease, most of the infections with this virus aren’t noticeable, even when they’re active in the body.
This virus may stay dormant or get triggered by exposure to pesticides or mold, injuries, exposure to heavy metals, mental trauma, nutritional deficiencies, etc.
In a study from 2016, researchers found that breast cells attached to the EBV and formed an aggressive cancer.
They concluded that EBV may elevate the risk of malignant breast tumors. People with HIV may have a higher risk of cervical cancer, non-Hodgkin’s, and Kaposi’s sarcoma.
Insufficient sunlight
Researchers from the Moores Cancer Center at the University of California in San Diego note that around 250,000 colorectal cancer cases and 350,000 breast cancer cases may be averted by elevating the levels of vitamin D3.
The team tested the link between vitamin D and cancer with satellite measurements of the sun and cloud cover. They took that information and also measured the blood serum levels of vitamin D3.
The conclusion was that there’s an inverse connection between the risk of colorectal and breast cancer and vitamin D. That is, the less vitamin D one has, the higher the risk of these types of cancer.
