Cancer - Recommendation and Conclusions

updated by Maria Mergel (Aug 02, 2010)

While scientists have made great strides in understanding the causes of cancer and developing treatments, there will always be a risk for developing cancer. The likelihood of developing cancer is related to our individual sensitivity and our dose/response curve. As individuals, we can try to be aware of the risks of exposure to suspected carcinogens and take appropriate actions to reduce our exposure, but this can be difficult due to a lack of ingredient labeling. There must be better labeling of ingredients and easier access to information about chemicals that may be carcinogenic.
