The Link Between Pesticides And Cancer Risk?

Do you know that pesticides are linked to the increased risks of certain cancers, including breast cancer? This is based on recent studies. How can this happen? Most pesticides are petroleum based, they care called xenohormones. They have estrogen-like activities, which can take up the estrogen receptors in our body and cause hormone imbalance including estrogen dominance. Worse than that, the enzymes in our body do not recognize these foreign chemicals, so the pathways to break down these chemicals are altered. Because they are not properly broken down, they stay in our body much longer compared to other end products from the natural biochemical pathway in our body, which can be eliminated from our body more efficiently. The longer these foreign chemicals stay in our body, the more damage they cause to our body, including the cause of certain cancers.
