Below is a look at some of the other cancer-causing agents that
have been added to the IARC growing list over the years They
include a slew of industrial chemicals youve probably never
heard of as well as some ubiquitous and often unavoidable aspects
of modern life air pollution tobacco smoking alcohol and
X-rays
Group 1 - Carcinogenic
This is the group for which there is the most evidence of cancerrisk But being in this group doesnt mean that the risk associated
with each agent is the same ndash for example that the impact of
smoking is the same as eating some bacon There are about 120
agents listed
Arsenic and arsenic compounds
Asbestos
10 persistent myths about cancer that are false
How many more reasons do we need until we stop eating meat
Three charts that explain the link between cancer and processed
