Many factors are responsible for cancer but there are many things in our homes too which increase the risk of spreading cancer. Such things have become our daily need. Our homes are full of such things. But if you are cautious about health then remove these things from the house. Otherwise these things can be responsible for cancer.

household items that cause cancer

1. Non-stick utensils- Initially when non-stick utensils were introduced, it was claimed that they do not spread any disease. But now research has found that the coating on non-stick utensils contains perfluorooctanoic acid and other toxic substances which pose a risk of cancer. Therefore, use steel utensils instead of non-stick utensils.

2. Plastic bottles- Any kind of plastic contains bisphenol and phthalates compounds which are extremely harmful. It causes many diseases including cancer. Many researches have found that fine particles of plastic enter the body which cause harm in many ways. Therefore, do not use plastic bottles at home.

3. Aluminium foil- The aluminium foil used to store rotis contains a lot of aluminium. If you eat rotis or other things made from it for a long time, it can lead to breast cancer.

4. Plastic containers- There are hundreds of plastic containers in the kitchen which contain spices, sugar, tea leaves and many other things. But the BPA chemical present in plastic containers is a carcinogen. Therefore, use steel or silicone containers instead.

5. Refined oil- The oil we fry puris in at home is usually made of refined oil but it breaks down on high heat and releases harmful chemicals. These chemicals are carcinogenic. Therefore, use mustard oil, olive oil, coconut oil instead of refined oil.

6. Scented candles - Many people do not use scented candles to spread fragrance in the house. Burning them releases harmful chemicals like benzene, toluene etc. which are carcinogenic.

7. Plastic board - Some people cut onions and vegetables on plastic boards in the kitchen but this plastic board releases harmful chemicals which are carcinogenic. Therefore, use a wooden board instead.
