According to the American Institute for Cancer Research, “about one third of the most common US cancers are
preventable through a healthy diet.” This highlights the importance of avoiding certain foods linked to increased
cancer risk. Here are ten such foods:
1. Processed Meats: Linked to cancer and cardiovascular disease. Limiting intake could prevent premature deaths.
2. BPA-Lined Cans: BPA, used in plastics and can linings, is associated with cancer and other health issues.
3. Cured and Smoked Foods: Contain nitrites and nitrates, which can form cancer-causing compounds when
cooked.
4. Microwave Popcorn: The bag lining, containing PFOA, is linked to various cancers.
5. GMOs: Some genetically modified foods, treated with herbicides, may increase cancer risk.
6. Sugar: High sugar diets are linked to an increased risk of certain cancers.
7. Hydrogenated Oils: These are linked to a doubled risk of breast cancer.
8. Sodas: High in sugar and artificial ingredients, linked to increased cancer risk.

It seems like you’re referring to big cystic acne and blackhead extractions. Both are different forms of acne, and their extraction requires specific approaches. Here’s a bit more detail on each:
1. Big Cystic Acne:
Cystic acne occurs deep beneath the skin and is typically large, swollen, and painful.
Unlike regular pimples, cystic acne doesn’t form a visible “head” and may leave scars if not treated carefully.
It requires medical intervention, as squeezing or trying to extract it yourself can lead to infection, scarring, and worsen the condition.
Treatment options:
Topical treatments: These may include benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids.
Oral medications: In more severe cases, antibiotics (like tetracycline) or oral retinoids (Accutane) may be prescribed by a dermatologist.
Corticosteroid injections: A dermatologist might inject a steroid directly into the cyst to reduce inflammation and pain.
2. Blackheads:
Blackheads are a form of non-inflammatory acne that appears when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria.
Unlike cystic acne, blackheads are shallowand appear as small, dark spots on the skin.
Extraction methods:
Manual extraction: A dermatologist or esthetician can gently remove blackheads with a sterile tool called a comedone extractor. This is usually done during a professional facial.
Topical treatments: Salicylic acid, charcoal masks, and exfoliating products can help treat and reduce the appearance of blackheads over time.
Important Tips:
Avoid squeezing or picking at cystic acne or blackheads, as this can lead to further inflammation and potential scarring.
Consider seeing a dermatologist for cystic acne treatment, as they can offer the most effective therapies.
If you’re looking for a professional extraction or treatment, make sure it’s done by a licensed specialist to avoid causing harm to your skin.
