Secondary causes of cancer the body every day, from foods and certain oils, because your Virtually every supposed cause of cancer mentioned today in body can't manufacture them on its own. There are two "parent" the health and nutritional media is a secondary cause. forms of EFAs that allow your body to make whatever it needs Secondary causes include things such as environment, chemical from them, i.e., various types of EFA "derivatives". Parent carcinogens, environmental and medical radiation, trans-fats, omega-6 is termed linoleic acid (LA), and parent omega-3 is food additives, the chemicals in tobacco smoke, viruses and termed alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). even genetic mutations. For tables of EFA-containing oils, shown with their There are innumerable secondary causes of cancer, and percentages of parent omega-6 to parent omega-3, as well as of minimising them and their harmful effects can be helpful in some EFA derivatives, see http://www.BrianPeskin/Nexus.com. reventing cancer.
