Everything gives you cancer

davet82 · 21-02-2013 3:36pm #1

Everytime I open up a newspaper they've discovered another thing that gives you cancer. I read in the space of two weeks, two different articles in the same paper, one linking vitamin c as way to protect yourself from cancer and then the other article linking too much of it to another type of cancer....

Arrggggghhhhhhh!!!

Red meat gives you cancer, salt gives you cancer, dairy gives you cancer, phones give you cancer, cancer gives you cancer... everything gives you cancer!

I'm guessing they just dont fcuking know what gives you cancer?

*anyone who takes the piss out of my ranting thread will get cancer*

And we cant sue meat and cheese and salt to make us suffer. If your thread gives someone cancer chances are that someone here may sue you:P

I think people misunderstand when they read about these things.
I probably have a vague understanding of it myself but I think excess of almost anything will be a contributing factor to increased cancer risk, and heart disease, etc.

Its the fact that these products, usually processed and laced with crazy ass chemicals that the body does not need increase the risk probably by a miniscule amount.

Take it in moderation and you'll be grand.

my gf's father has terminal cancer

the sun gave it to him (melanoma aka skin cancer) which spread to his brain (brain tumours)

I am going to ruin your day OP.

Age is the #1 contributor to getting cancer. The longer you live, the more likely you're going to get cancer.

Penn · 21-02-2013 4:22pm

If I had a Euro for every time I read about something that gave you cancer, I'd have cancer from the amount of Euro coins I had

Sometimes radiation gives you cancer.

Sometimes radiation can cure your cancer.

Its a topsy turvy world.

Sure even too much water or oxygen will kill ya.

That 'moderation' must be a dump of a pace.I'm glad I don't know where it is.

Growing up I was told the Ink from Florescent highlighter pens/markers caused cancer and not to get the ink on your skin.

Also there was a scare about Washing Up Liquid and to wear rubber gloves.
Supposedly it was OK when diluted but a cancer risk if you exposed your skin to the concentrated liquid.

Then there was the Microwave causing cancer if you were too close to it
and your food being bad for you if its Nuked. And the mobile phones melting your brain despite men keeping them in their pockets right next to their ball sacks.

I remember a film from the late 80's or 90's that featured time travel where some blonde haired women and a fella used to travel back in time and take people from planes that were due to crash mid flight to harvest their body organs and replace the bodies with cadavers. There was an interesting twist
to the story where the Blonde wan used to need to smoke constantly when she traveled back in the past in order to breath cos in the future the air pollution was so bad human's lungs had adapted to all the crap in the air and could no longer handle clean air...cant remember the name of the film.

you could avoid things that give you cancer

like oxygen www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6646012

then avoid bananas because they contain radioactive potassium
once you've done that it's time to remove the potassium from inside your cells too.

'tis best to avoid cosmic rays , living down the bottom of a salt mine might help except for the 'ol radium or potassium or whatnot in the rocks

or you could just accept that while the universe is trying to kill you it hasn't gone into full exploding neutron star mode yet

or go backpacking in Oz where they have swimming knives and you won't have to worry about living long enough to get cancer

tdv123 · 22-02-2013 4:27am
