From this article in one of medical journals I read (from bookstore):
Afterward, I stared in horror at that article.. but it got me curious about this teratoma so I researched some several hours at medicine university near my place and found out more..
Based on several medical journals/books, I found that teratoma can only develop if anybody consume 'canned-foods', irradiation, homogenized, pasteurized or ultrapasteurized foods. For one, I am very, very grateful that I never consume canned or these chemical-altered foods.. It is quite scary to have that kind of condition. According to JAMA journal, in America, teratoma condition has been increasing 13% from 2% in only 8 years. They predict that it will increase to 35% by end of this decade (printed in 2003, in other words, 35% by 2013) if continually consume these 'certain' chemical-altered foods. (Note: FDA approved irradiation foods several years ago, the researchers linked the teratoma condition to that because of nearly-accurated time frame between irradiation foods and teratoma. Researches are still going on at this moment)
I save this for last because it is quite scary to look at.. here's picture: (Actually there are few freaky pictures but I guess that people here may not want to get a look at so I picked only one, x-ray picture)

"From its appearance, we're fairly certain it's a tumor called teratoma," Dr. Hayward said, describing a potentially malignant tumor. "It's very unusual. It's actually a living thing. It has hair, nails, and sometimes even teeth. It's a congenital tumor, there at birth. Usually we find it growing in the abdomen. I've rarely seen this kind in this brain."

A teratoma is a type of tumour that derives from pluripotent germ cells. The word comes from a Greek term meaning roughly "monster tumor". Teratomas usually start from cells in the testes in men, the ovaries in women and in the sacrum (Dakkon noted: sacrum is a bone at the end of the spine. It articulates with the hip bone at two sacroiliac joints) in children. Teratomas involve cells from all three embryonic cell layers: ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. The can be benign or malignant.
Teratomas often contain well-differentiated cells which can result in tissues growing in a teratoma which are quite different to the surrounding tissue—ovarian teratomas have been known to grow hair and teeth. Such a benign cystic teratoma is often termed a dermoid cyst. Testicular teratomas are generally less well-differentiated, and have a worse prognosis (chances of recovery are not as high).
Many teratomas secrete the "pregnancy hormone" human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), which can be used in clinical practice to follow-up successful treatment or relapse in patients with a known HCG-secreting teratoma. It is not recommended as a diagnostic market.
Based on several medical journals/books, I found that teratoma can only develop if anybody consume 'canned-foods', irradiation, homogenized, pasteurized or ultrapasteurized foods.
