Truth: Famously blue Smarties were â??cancelledâ?? for causing cancer â?? a result of of the food colourings used, & Iâ??ve also heard a rumour that burned toast may cause cancer (Google tells me this is because of acrylamide, now you know... ). Now the point is that there is perhaps some truth to this in that those substances may cause marginal additional oxidative destroy to the cells. However what you need to keep in mind is that much everything causes some destroy to our cells, & the largest culprit of all is oxygen. Unless you eat0 packs of entirely blue Smarties & thirty pieces of burned toast every day, you arenâ??t going to be any more likely to create cancer. & anyway, you clearly have lots of other issues in that case already...
Myth: Vitamins/herbs can cure cancer
Myth: Living in a city is worse for your chances of lung cancer than smoking a pack of cigarettes a day
Truth: Hopefully lots of people will be fully aware that vitamins can not cure cancer. Regrettably though there's also lots of people out there who arenâ??t aware of this fact & who think that vitamin supplementation is an adequate alternative to chemotherapy or surgical procedure. Regrettably there's lots of â??such alternativeâ?? cures out there which are trying to make a fast buck off of people in a most desperate situation but none of them have any proven benefits (despite the pseudoscience all over the net site). Doctors follow only the most scientific methods of treatment & this means that they have been tested & proven effective â?? unlike the choices. If homeopathy or vitamin supplementation worked then your doctor would recommend it & in the United Kingdom it would be a lot cheaper for the NHS in the event that they did.
Myth: Cell rings cause cancer
Truth: Iâ??m not sure where this rumour began but thereâ??s no truth in it whatsoever. Of coursework itâ??s healthier to live in the country, but living in the city is nowhere near as bad for you as smoking even or cigarettes a day not to mention a whole pack.
Truth: This was a large a short time back, but slipped off the radar for most of us. Recent studies have shown that there is no truth to this â?? & actually ten year longitudinal study found that long-term mobile phone users were actually slightly less likely to create brain cancer.
Myth: Underwire bras & breast implants cause cancer
Truth: Notice a theme here? People like a nice panic & this is yet again a scary rumour with no basis in science. It started in a book called â??Dressed to Killâ??, but the study described therein did not follow correct scientific protocol & later studies have debunked the findings. Though silicone breast implants can lead to the formation of scar tissue in the breasts, this doesnâ??t lead to cancer. The only potential risk of breast implants regarding cancer is that they can prevent you from noticing changes as quickly & you might need imaging techniques for mammograms.
Myth: Quitting smoking wonâ??t decrease your chances of developing cancer
Truth: Actually as soon as you cease smoking your body starts to heal itself & after a few years youâ??ll have drastically reduced your risk of lung cancer. More to the point in the event you carryover on smoking, your chances of developing it will increase â?? so thereâ??s no excuse not to cease right now.
