Is everyone born with cancer cells?
My nephew asked me a very interesting question the other day, he heard somewhere that everyone is born with cancer cells. Is this true, or is it just a common misunderstanding? I want to tell him the right thing.

This is a common myth, but scientifically we aren't born with cancer cells. It is better to focus on basic preventative health checkups every year, which are quite affordable if you plan ahead.

No, actually that is not true, yaar. Our body has normal cells that can mutate later, but nobody is born with actual cancer cells just sitting inside them.

I have heard people say this to scare others, but don't believe such rumors. God has made our bodies very resilient; keep a healthy lifestyle and live without these constant fears.

The idea that we all have cancer cells is a biological misunderstanding. Our immune system constantly clears out damaged cells, but if you have specific family medical history, consulting a physician is your best guide.

No child is born with such illnesses. To keep the body pure and immune system strong, focus on eating fresh seasonal fruits and green vegetables daily.
