Every day the paper has stories of the latest cause of cancer be it brocolli, nylon pants or dust. Every day the paper has stories of the latest cancer preventer, be it brocolli, nylon pants or dust.

May this thread be the place to list them.

I for one suggest these researchers have to come up with something to keep their funding going.

im sure I just heard Dr Chris on the tele say if youve put on three stone since the age of 20 that makes you a higher risk of womb cancer. Thats me buggered then!

Living past 30 seems to be a prime contributor, that and watching telly: both factors common to many sufferers. I think this requires investigation.:)

Forget about gaining the weight- just have a hysterectomy. Risk reduced to nil.

Oxygen.

studies show that 1 in 3 people who breath oxygen will contract cancer at some point of their lives.

however, a cure for cancer is becoming ever closer - OXYGEN.

recent studies show that 2 of every 3 people who breath oxygen will live their entire lives cancer free.

Super foods, apparently. All fruits and veg that are red are classed under this category and, if eaten regularly, are a good way of combatting cancer and other nasties. I have taken this advice quiet literally and have now started eating tomatoes as often as I can.

Cancers: religion, politics,Daily Mail and general gullibilty
Preventers: YOU!

Apparently smoking 20 cigarettes a day stops you getting cancer. At least that's what my doctors - Dr Benson and Dr Hedges say.....

according to the ACS (American Cancer Society) - "Smoking accounts for some 30% of all cancer deaths"

So that means that some 70% of all cancer deaths are non smoke related.

So statistically speaking, you're less likely to die of cancer if you're a smoker!

I'm a non-smoker by the way, but it goes to show that you can make statistics say whatever you want them to say!

I think we die of heart failure and blood clots before the cancer takes hold.

I'm afraid its not either/or

Generally speaking if you smoke there's around a 50% chance you'll die from it and by far the biggest change to your chances of getting cancer comes from stoping smoking (even better - don't start)

i've had it once so i'm hoping thats my share over!!

And I've had it twice- so one of you out there got a 'get out of jail' card from me.

Hope you're all grateful.

Well after quickly looking through this thread its seems to be the non smokers who will be gone first.

I've had my dose already as well. it's like Chicken Pox - better to get it out of the way!

good point!

although if mine comes back I'll get paid out on my critical illness cover, which could pay off my £100k mortgage.... and place I had it isn't likely to kill me, so it might not be all bad!
