According to the latest research report released by the World Health Organization and its affiliated Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), half of the new cancer cases in the world occurred in Asia, and most of them occurred in China. China also undertakes about half of the new cases of liver cancer in the world, especially the liver cancer developed from hepatitis B. The above conclusion comes from the Global Cancer Report (20 14 edition) recently released by the Cancer Institute under the World Health Organization. More than 250 scientists from more than 40 countries around the world participated in the preparation of the report. This study is mainly based on the data of global disease burden study in 20 12 years.
In addition, according to other statistics, China is a country with a high incidence of digestive tract malignant tumors, accounting for 42% of the world, and gastric cancer alone increases by 400,000 cases every year, ranking first in the world. Among the top six malignant tumors in China, gastrointestinal malignant tumors account for half of the country, among which gastric cancer, esophageal cancer and colon cancer rank second, fifth and sixth.
Then, why is the incidence of cancer high in China, which is related to our living environment, survival pressure and so on:
1, environmental pollution-air pollution, water pollution and serious soil pollution.
At the beginning of this year, Yang Gonghuan, former deputy director of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, released the conclusion that his team had conducted cancer research in the Huaihe River basin for eight years-the Huaihe River basin was seriously polluted by water, and the digestive tract tumors (mainly liver cancer, stomach cancer and esophageal cancer) of residents in Shenqiu, Yingdong, Fugou, Mengcheng, Yongqiao, Lingbi, Wenshang and Juye were seriously high. This is the first time that scholars from official institutions in China have formally and massively confirmed the "correlation" between environmental pollution and human health through scientific research. This study proves the real existence of "cancer villages" and the existence of high-incidence counties of cancer caused by environmental problems in China. This is just the price of GDP and blind development that ignores the environment!
2. Food is unsafe and toxic food is rampant.
Everyone may have heard the saying "disaster comes from the mouth, disease comes from the mouth". Many foods, such as meat, are easy to cause cancer when eaten too much, and are more likely to cause various diseases when they are toxic. China people, as the online joke says, eat dyed steamed bread and drink melamine milk in the morning, fry vegetables with excessive pesticides in gutter oil at noon, drink fruity health drinks with various seasonings, eat fish with water-injected meat and birth control pills for dinner, and cover them with black cotton at night ... Aflatoxin B 1 is a toxic compound produced by Aspergillus fungi. Mainly produced in corn, peanuts, rice, wheat and so on in warm and humid environment. Investigation in areas with high incidence of liver cancer, especially in southern areas where corn is the staple food, shows that the occurrence of liver cancer may be related to food pollution caused by aflatoxin B 1 ... How can we not get cancer?
3, drinking, smoking, etc.
In fact, as we all know, drinking and smoking are harmful to health. In fact, alcoholism is the biggest pathogenic factor of liver disease. Drinking alcohol will increase the risk of primary liver cancer, and studies have shown that excessive drinking is one of the ways to cause primary liver cancer. Drinking alcohol can lead to chronic liver diseases such as alcoholic fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis and alcoholic cirrhosis, and can enhance the role of hepatitis B virus in inducing primary liver cancer. Studies have shown that if the alcohol converted into alcohol every day exceeds 80g and lasts for more than 10 years, the risk of liver cancer will increase five times. People who drink 50~70 g a day for a long time belong to the high-risk group of liver cancer. Especially in recent years, liver cancer caused by alcoholism has blossomed everywhere. Among more than 400 patients with severe hepatitis admitted to Nanjing Second Hospital in 20 13 years, nearly13 were alcoholic hepatitis. In addition, nicotine and tar in smoking can stimulate the proliferation of liver cells, leading to a high incidence of cancer.
4. Life is very stressful.
Some people say that cancer is actually → fear+anger+getting angry. As long as you open the channels and collaterals in the human body (panic channel, evil channel and fire channel), cancer will naturally disappear. Although this statement may not be scientific, I have always believed that many human diseases are caused by bad mood. Huangdi Neijing clearly points out: "Anger hurts the liver, joy hurts the lungs, sadness hurts the spleen, and panic hurts the kidney. All diseases are born of qi. " Lei Gesi, a world-renowned provider of office solutions, released the latest survey results: the pressure of office workers in Chinese mainland in the past year ranked first in the world. According to a survey in The Lancet, a British medical journal, at present, 1 person in China suffers from mental disorder, among which the number of depression and anxiety closely related to psychological factors has risen sharply. Fourthly, China people lack exercise, especially white-collar workers are mostly in sub-health state, which is mostly caused by sitting in the office all day and not exercising around the computer. There is a saying in Chinese medicine: the general principle does not hurt, but the pain will not work. A person's body is like running water. Regular exercise means that "running water does not rot, and family members do not get sick", otherwise it is easy to get sick.
5. Lack of exercise.
Contemporary people lack exercise, especially white-collar workers are mostly in sub-health state, which is mostly caused by sitting in the office all day and not exercising in front of the computer. There is a saying in Chinese medicine: the general principle does not hurt, but the pain will not work. A person's body is like running water. Regular exercise means that "running water does not rot, and family members do not get sick", otherwise it is easy to get sick.
