The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified acetaldehyde as a Group I human carcinogen. Alcoholic beverages contain acetaldehyde, and acetaldehyde is also produced in the intestinal tract as alcohol is metabolised. Acetaldehyde is in the same category of cancer risk as substances such as asbestos, tobacco and benzene.
Did you know that many foods and drinks we consume regularly contain significant amounts of alcohol, which is immediately converted into acetaldehyde by bacteria and yeasts present in our mouth and the stomachs of people with low stomach acid?
The very same bacteria and yeasts efficiently convert sugars into acetaldehyde. What’s more, many foods and drinks – as well as cigarette smoke – contain acetaldehyde. That’s why even a normal diet that follows nutritional recommendations can result in a high level of exposure to acetaldehyde for a person in a high-risk group. Millions of people in the UK are in these high-risk groups, and most of them are unaware of the danger.

Test whether you are at risk … then target cancer-causing acetaldehyde with Acetium.
