Sticky and Smelly Earwax Causes Breast Cancer

For those who rarely clean earwax, you should be careful. The combination of earwax, wet and smelly, proved to have a relationship with the breast cancer gene mutations in type ABCC11. A Japanese study to prove it.

The health information results reported in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) Journal, quoted from health24′s health care information, mentioning that ABCC11 gene mutations in breast cancer has also occurred in the type of earwax wet and sticky.

“We found a mutation in the gene ABCC11, which after research was derived from the type of earwax, wet and sticky,” said Dr. Toshihisa Ishikawa of Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan.

Why and how this may occur remains unknown.

Earwax is formed from the sweat produced by human sweat glands. Earwax apparently affects a person’s body odor. There are two types of human earwax, namely dry and wet. Asians generally have dry earwax, whereas the Europeans and Africans are generally moist and slightly sticky.

Studies conducted by the CED and its partners showed that the gene mutation 538G> affects several functions of ABCC11 protein, which in turn affects the work of the sweat glands. The possibility that this is what causes earwax wet and somewhat sticky to be one source of breast cancer.

Although the earwax problem sounds trivial, but this health care study did not fool around. Because there is clinical evidence indicating that the formation of G in the ABCC11 gene is closely related to the type of earwax is wet, sticky and smelly.

For the future, these types of genetic mutations in the ABCC11 gene may be a reference to diagnose earwax with dangerous type (wet, sticky, smelly), which now becomes a dread disease in Japan.

To detect the gene type quickly, the natural health care scientists developed a method that allows analysis of ABCC11 gene mutation in 30 minutes. Methods will be available in the form of a special instrument that can analyze the genetic relationship between earwax, body odor, and the risk of breast cancer.
