Researchers said the study is a good jumping off point to improve the world’s understanding of what outside factors cause breast cancer and how to better prevent exposure.
Researchers have identified 189 potential and confirmed carcinogens in food materials found in grocery stores and markets that could lead to breast cancer. A recent peer-reviewed study conducted by researchers from the Food Packaging Forum found that chemicals in food packing materials including plastic and paper or board had evidence of breast carcinogens.
"Together, we provide a springboard for a wide range of actions that could improve our understanding of BC etiology and our ability to prevent the leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide," authors said. In a separate study from earlier this month, researchers in Switzerland analyzed more than 14,000 known food contact chemicals and prioritized the chemicals that have been frequently detected in food contact materials.
