Veterans Affairs officials will research the link between kidney cancer and exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, at military bases, a move that could eventually provide presumptive benefits to thousands of veterans suffering from the illness.

Getting rid of these known or suspected carcinogens in our food supply is a huge opportunity for cancer prevention,” said Jane Muncke, co-author of the study.

Food sold in shrink wrap, on cardboard trays or in paper containers might contain any of nearly 200 chemicals linked to breast cancer, a new study warns. Commonly used food packaging materials contain 189 chemicals that can potentially cause breast cancer,

Nearly 200 chemicals connected to breast cancer are used in the making of food packaging and plastic tableware, and dozens of those carcinogens can migrate into the human body, a new study found. “There is strong evidence that 76 known or potential breast carcinogens from food contact materials recently purchased all over the world can be found in people,

Researchers have identified nearly 200 chemicals used to make food packaging that could possibly increase the risk of breast cancer. Found in plastics and paper, some of the potential mammary carcinogens include polysterene and polyamide,

A recent study linked nearly 200 chemicals to breast cancer. For the study, the team compared a recently published list of potential breast carcinogens. They found 189 potential breast carcinogens have been detected in food contact materials (FCMs),
