Common cancer-causing myths dispelled

Anyone watching the news is probably aware that whether they had their way, everyone would be afraid of everything causing cancer. It seems like every month there is a new link or study relating it to our daily routine. But an Australian specialist has tried to put a stop to many of those myths by dispelling beliefs of cancer causes.

Among those non-risk factors in the report were coffee and deodorant, which were found very unlikely to cause cancer. Hair dye and breast implants were plus kicked to the curb. Ever heard that living approach a ability line could cause cancer? That myth doesn’t have any basis either according to the doctor.

He couldn’t, however, dispel the opportunity that mobile phones or

undoubtful food additives upped the risk due to the lack of tough evidence. Professor Stewart put it best that way: “We’re working to allay many of the fears that everything can cause cancer considering the risks are often insignificant.”
