Full List Of Toxic Food, Drugs and Drinks That Causes Cancer

 From contraceptive pills, to alcohol and cigarette smoke,  this is the list of things which the World Health Organisation (WHO) researchers and experts say are the causes of cancer. If you recall, there was general outrage some days back when WHO said we should stop eating suya because it also triggers cancer.

Well, at least Nigerians can be rest assured that number 2  - the USE of sunbeds and sunlamps is "not our portion."

Who in Nigeria wants to sit under a lamp or under the sun and be left with a DARKER SKIN TONE?

In our case, our number 2 (on the list) should be the use of BLEACHING CREAMS cause cancer.
