The fact that cancer is a metabolic disease, what role does pollution have in that process?

Pollutants harm the liver and the liver is a great detoxifying organ of the body. If the liver is detoxifying an excess of estrogen, for example, and capacity of the liver is impaired by pollutants, the estrogen levels then may reach a concentration sufficient to induce cancer. When eating apples that have been sprayed with arsenic and we eat enough of these apples; the arsenic may produce hepatic cirrhosis, which may impair the capacity of the liver to detoxify certain carcinogens and thereby contribute to the development of cancer. If we are receiving a very high concentrating of Vitamin B17 this will offset the possibility of developing cancer, but these pollutants still can kill us by producing cirrhosis of the liver and destroying other vital cells.
