What are carcinogens?

Chemicals causing Ca: The chemicals that cause cancer are called Carcinogens. It is often based on animal experiments, but some of these drugs actually cause cancers in Humans too even at small doses as compared to the much large doses required to create a cancer in the animals. So there is a dose below which many such chemicals used as food or drugs can be safely used in Humans.
