Agricultural pesticides greatly increase the incidence of prostate cancer

Recent medical statistics have found that the incidence of prostate cancer among farmers is much higher than that among ordinary citizens. Through careful research and comparison, it is found that the main reason for this trend in the incidence of prostate cancer is that farmers have been exposed to pesticides for a long time. The harmful substances in pesticides have greatly increased the incidence of prostate cancer.

The National Cancer Institute, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, and the Environmental Protection Agency of the United States conducted a study on 55,332 farmers and other people who frequently use pesticides. The results showed that from 1993 to 1999 alone, there were 566 new cases of prostate cancer in Iowa and North Carolina, which was 14% higher than the usual incidence. The study found that methyl cyanide pesticides had the most obvious inducing effect on prostate cancer. Almost all farmers who used methyl cyanide pesticides had an increased risk of prostate cancer. The other six pesticides have irritating effects on people with a family history of prostate cancer. They are chlorpyrifos, coumaphos, fenphos, 3911, soda and permethrin.

Researchers at the National Cancer Institute of the United States, which is responsible for the study, said that the link between pesticides and prostate cancer has been reported before, and their research confirms these reports.

For farmers, the increase in the incidence of prostate disease is inevitable. They can only actively prevent and care for the disease in daily life. It is a good choice to rely on good living habits and comprehensive preventive measures to reduce the incidence of prostate cancer as much as possible.
