    Cancer was not used as a casual medical term in the 1990s, with only one in five individuals contracting cancer. Unfortunately, that number has increased in the last few years to one in three, with reports predicting that number will increase to one in two individuals contracting cancer by 2020 (Faguet, 2005). The rate by which this deadly disease has grown in the past seventy years is astonishing, but what are the causes behind this raging epidemic? The most immediate causes relate to diet, exercise, and the environment. Americans increased their sugar consumption from 12 pounds of refined sugar per person in the 1800s to 154 pounds per person in the 2000s (Cooper, 2013).…

    Although the list of environmental hazards is backed by generations of observations and research, the order of “preventability” is probably highly subjective. Different women have different SES, habits, physical conditions, mental status, living environment, partners (or lack thereof), and above all, knowledge of these teratogens. Consequently, what feels easy for one might be the most onerous for another; and what is carefully avoided by one might be entirely overlooked by another. The reason why I personally feel caffeine is the most preventable teratogen is because one could easily find decaffed drinks as alternatives.…

    A high chance for breast cancer can come with the use of birth control. A study in 1996 showed that women who did not use the birth control pill had a lower risk of getting breast cancer than those who used the pill (Oral Contraceptives, 2012). Another side effect of birth control is that it can cause a rise in the user 's blood pressure and that can cause other complications. One of the biggest perks to birth control is being able to have a planned pregnancy. Even women who have a placebo week in their birth control cycle have a 98 to 99 percent prevention of getting pregnant.…

    While most accept that cancer is a disease rooted in genetic change, there is little consensus among the scientific community regarding the contributions of extrinsic factors and sheer bad luck. Many contend that cancer is solely attributable to bad luck, but if cancer is a game of probability – a gamble – then there are ways to tip the odds. In particular, risk-heightening behaviors such as cigarette smoking, alcohol use, and consuming a diet rich in red meat significantly increase the chances of developing cancer. Tobacco contains more than 50 carcinogens and is often touted as the leading cause of cancer (NCI 2015) because its use heightens the risk of 14 cancer subtypes.…
