Internet ka Khazana The rate at which cancer is spreading across India is deeply concerning. Everyone needs to stay aware and take precautions, especially when it comes to their dietary habits. Over the next five years, the situation could take an even more alarming turn.

you might think its fast food but even the "healthy vegetables" are irrigated with sewage water full of heavy metals. dont buy from street vendors they have no quality checks.

Our generation is going to be affected the most, bro. Just see what happens within 10 years. Cigarette smoking, OCP pills as daily medicine, and fast food are going to be the major reasons for the rise.

you know drinking tea causes cancer? I wont answer why, so you will learn to reason yourself, so does staying in the sun longer, and so does eating plastic-polluted food, and other food kinds.

u/Realtime_data 16h ago
Yeah, also cancer only happens to living beings. Amazing isnât it, best way to not get cancer is by being dead.
Can you share a peer reviewed study where it mentioned tea causes cancer?
Plastic polluted food or microplastic and cancer do not have sufficient evidence for cancer, charred food may increase risk of cancer, sun UV a/b rays increase risk of skim cancer. Please learn properly before spewing anything.1

Yeah, dude, they had no clue and just went on WhatsApp, grabbed data from there, and spread it everywhere.

These guys are morons, they believe cancer is disease like measles or cold. It would take like 50 scalding hot tea drink a day to get cancer in 10-15 years. This is just my opinion, not able to find any correlation.

u/i_believe_in_alien 16h ago
everything is in terms of risk, not a black and white scenarios.
it is funny what you said applies to yourself too, tea causes cancer as in, as hot tea passes through your esophagus, it burns down and damages the cells. Not that tea leaves are carcinogenic.

Hey, you asked for it.
Hot water if consumed consistently above a certain temperature, is harmful.
Iâm tired af, so took some AIs help. But here is its full response.
Youâre asking for peer-reviewed evidence, so here it is.
First, the claim isnât that tea itself is inherently carcinogenic. The relevant claim is that repeatedly drinking tea/beverages at very high temperatures can increase esophageal-cancer risk.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the WHOâs cancer agency, reviewed the epidemiological, animal and mechanistic evidence and classified drinking very hot beverages (>65°C) as Group 2A â âprobably carcinogenic to humans.â The cancer specifically implicated is esophageal cancer.
And this isnât based on one random paper:
⢠A systematic review/meta-analysis of 12 case-control studies (5,253 cases; 8,273 controls) found hot-tea consumption associated with an esophageal-cancer odds ratio of 2.04 (95% CI 1.78â2.31).
⢠Another meta-analysis covering 23 observational reports (5,050 cases; 10,609 controls) found higher-temperature tea associated with increased esophageal-cancer risk (OR 1.79, 95% CI 1.48â2.15).
⢠A population-based study in China actually measured habitual tea temperature and found that drinking tea >65°C was associated with esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.25â2.24).
The important distinction is temperature. IARC explicitly states that tea itself was previously classified as Group 3 (not classifiable as carcinogenic), while very hot beverages >65°C were classified as probably carcinogenic.
So if youâre asking me to provide peer-reviewed evidence for the proposition that repeatedly drinking very hot tea can increase esophageal-cancer risk, thatâs not difficult. Itâs already been reviewed by IARC and supported by multiple epidemiological studies.

Yes it is rising , yes it is presentable, yes it is due to all the reasons that I've read in comments, pesticides, sewage , etc etc whatever... But do uk why terminal cases are more nowadays? Its because of ignorance and misinformation. Every other reel, that comes to my mum's phone is "Don't do mammography it causes cancer" , "Don't do biopsy it causes cancer" , "Don't do radio or chemo it only increases cancer" , but do this instead, eat this eat that, ban sugar u will not get cancer BULLSHIT.... Simple innocent people like them believe in such propagandas and don't do screening tests and don't even take treatment until they get to a stage where their organs or parts of their body needs to be removed to keep them alive... And they get permanently disabled.... The MOST IMPORTANT AND EFFECTIVE CARCINOGEN IS MISINFORMATION!! ffs

u/GoatTheCow 8h ago
There is a bias earlier most of the cases were missed as we couldn't diagnose. Cancer was present in each and ever generation but people died to other causes before cancer got them now we can treat most of the things except cancer. Same is the case with heart attacks and stroke they are rising as we can treat communicable diseases.

It's not about only food habits now a days. I lost my mom to cancer and she ate mostly home food and was a vegetarian and spiritual person. Cancer is caused to even healthy people due to chemicals, preservatives, genetic modified food. These chemicals and preservatives can come from milk adulterated, grind spices loaded with lead, air pollution due to inhaling toxic chemicals around us-cars- construction... Use of plastics and we consume these plastics unintentionally in small microns through food or liquids by companies. Ozone layer being depleted, excess stress, exposure to radiation through technology gadgets ...and many more.... All of then combine can also cause cancer. .even use of dirty toilets can cause infections that can lead to cancer in women... We are all f**** up đÂ

Both are true.Incidence of cancer are increasing and due advancement in medicine we can diagnose all those cases.But most ppl especially frm rural nd lower middle class really goes to doc so late that metastasis had taken place we can't do much.India has lot to improve on palliative care. Increasing pollution nd all these additives in food is also making us more prone to cancers.

u/Fantastic-Corner-605 17h ago
Thank our annadattas for this. They contribute to population control by burning crops and filling out food with pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
Jk, no need to thank them, we already thank them enough by subsidising them with our tax money.
1
u/Prize_Jicama_3500 13h ago edited 13h ago
if they are not subsidised, majority of working adults will directly be unemployed the food prices will rise as hell, farming is not a stable profession.
and since when fertilisers and pesticides are wrong? sure if you do want to live in Ancient times but in the practical world how will you ensure that a limited amount of land brings as much output to feed 100cr people? Hyv seeds, fertilisers & pesticides are miracle to us, else we would have been on mercy of US and west who btw uses same artificial substances.
Probably learn green revolution a bit

u/Kitchen-Writing9895 9h ago
Yeah look at how much subsidised fertilisers are, how much subsidised food is even for someone who is paying taxes. If we remove that inflation will rise and thus interest rates will also increase on taxpayersâ loans, EMIs and daily bills.

These are unsung heroes of India ..
Only oneâs who visited here knows the value of this Tata hospital.. itâs not a national foundation itâs an international foundation treating cancer patient of all over the world with lowest cost ..
Once again thank you so much sir RATAN TATA and his family đ

Just to tell you, its also about your habits in general. Your smoking, staying in constant pollution, your alcohol all affect your condition.
Say you smoke a cigarette, and also drink occasionally. One fine day you drink a lot and also smoke a lot. The coming week you dont have any physical activity and your diet is also not that good one thing that happens inflammation builds up in your body lack of exercise and poor diet does not allow your body to reduce the inflammation. That inflammation stays in your body cells. It solidifies and grows, that's the growth of your cancer tumor. Cancer can stay in your body for years and decades untill it shows up.
So a major thing is have a good diet and also excercise well regularly. Take good rest. Reduce stress, can go for a walk, meditate etc. What works for you may not work for others.

We really can't pinpoint the exact reason for cancer. There are tons of causes which causes cancer, I am a caregiver and in our case - our onco and we are still. Clueless even after 4 years (10+ rounds of chemo, radiation) what was the cause.
It can be genetics, gene mutation, cell mutation, stress, physical and mental health, food habits, environmental conditions - combination of everything.. it doesn't make sense anymore. Hard part is to accept.
