I know when I was diagnosed with cancer I drove myself crazy wondering what the cause was. It made me look at everything I came in contact with and wonder...was it this? But eventually I got past that thankfully!

LoriB857, nope. A mutagen just means something that causes mutations to DNA, which is a LONG way from cancer. Genetic mutations are not always bad, most of them are actually benign. They're the reason people have different skin and eye colors, curly hair vs straight, freckles, etc. A carcinogen, on the other hand, is a very well known term (even outside of scientific circles) that literally just means a cancer causing agent.

Watched a movie called Deep Waters 2019 with Mark Ruffalo. What an eye opener, companies knowingly producing products causing cancer for the "almighty dollar"

I recently watched a program about additives they put in food, there’s one that’s put in crisps, they said the additive is basically gunpowder that causes cancer. I am also a survivor
