Everyday dangers

We have read your article on cancer in the local paper page 8.
We would like to mention a few items in our everyday life that is really dangerous to our health and much related to cancer.
1. Sodium laureth sulphate which is a dangerous substance used in the manufacture of soap, shampoos and toothpastes.
2. Pesticides, herbicides and chemicals used in the manufacture of food products.
To be healthy we have to avoid the processed, genetically modified enhanced food-factory junk that we are inundated with, we buy it and perpetuate the conglomerates and so in return they continue to churn it out all with the consent of governments worldwide.
It would be wise to publish these items that cause a danger to our health in all newspapers so that every one would be aware.
Our government should take the initiative and ban these substances from being used from all manufacturing and food products.
We can name many other carcinogenic products which are dangerous for human consumption.
Dunstan Girton,
Hampton Park.
