How Does Zantac & Ranitidine Cause Cancer?
The carcinogen NDMA causes cancer like all cancers do. They disrupt cell regulation and metabolic processes within the cell. All human body cells have the ability to divide but this is regulated at the cellular level. A carcinogen negates the cells ability to control cellular division. This leads to uncontrolled cell division, called mitosis, and tumors can result if the bodies immune system and lymph systems cannot remove these cancerous cells.
