Prenatal Smoking

Certain criterion states that in cases where mothers who do not smoke  during pregnancy. In their children  1.4 per 1000 children   end up with cancer,  whereas,  the mothers  whom smoke  0.9 per 1000  of those    children  (can you believe  that smokers children  are less  likely to get cancer   versus non smokers children.)

    An  The University of Louisville  studied  410 pregnant women  in 1996,   measuring levels  of three tobacco carcinogens  in the mothers  and  their newborns.    The  three carcinogens  measured where  benzo(a)pyrene    (which causes lung and skin cancer),  4-aminobiphenyl    (which causes bladder cancer) and acrylonitrile  (which causes liver cancer.)

    This study found levels of these three chemicals were four to five times higher in the passive smokers newborns than in the non smokers infants,   they were 10 to 20 times higher in heavy cigarette smokers babies. In  the United States,  cancer  will be diagnosed each year in an estimated 8,000    children below the age of 15 years old; accounting for about 10 percent             all deaths in childhood.       Miracles for KIDS!!!

    What we do know between 1975 and 2002, childhood cancer mortality      has decreased by more than 50%. However, what accounts for 20% of all   these  childhood cancer cases  are  soft cell sarcomas.    Sarcoma cancer           are found in soft tissues of all parts of the body.      http://www.nlmsf.org/

    The  soft tissues  of the body including  the muscles,  connective tissues  (tendons), bone, vessels that carry blood or nymph, joints and in body fat.      A lump or swelling  in the part of the body may appear in the person that  does have a  soft tissue sarcoma  (this year alone about  5,000 people  will       be diagnosed with this type of malignancy.)     Helpful Organizations!!!!
