Content: HEALTH RISKS OF ARSENIC POISONING
Arsenic poisoning may place you at risk of serious health complications. Let us take a look at a few of them. Spontaneous abortion
Spontaneous abortion is when you miscarry before 20 weeks of gestation without any outside intervention. According to US National Library of Medicine, arsenic exposure in pregnant woman disrupts the placental vasculogenesis and causes spontaneous abortion. If not spontaneous abortion, it can cause developmental defects. Cancer
Arsenic ingestion can cause cancers of the bladder, kidney, liver, prostate, lung and skin. According to Journal of the National Cancer Institute in USA, arsenic has the power to create cancer cells even after the exposure ends. It can wait in silence even for a decade before disrupting the metabolic system of your body. The amount of carcinogen substances found in arsenic is too high and has the ability to damage the genome or disrupt the cellular metabolic processes. Diabetes
It increases blood glucose level, which in turn affects insulin secretion.
