Yup, it's the only way to survive. Of course, in order to do that you'd have to fly pretty much constantly, which would cause deep vein thrombosis.

The observational study was done mostly on airline employees and nurses. Which strikes me as an odd population to do a health study on, as one's swimming in aviation fuel fumes and re-circulated air all the time, and the other is surrounded by creepy sick people.

I was genetically engineered to subsist mostly on heavy manual labor, pig meat, and hard living.

So you have to keep your ovarian or prostate cancer, but it's OK because you won't have colon cancer.

I don't know how much of that is garbage, but this really is ridiculous. It'd be easier to keep a list of things that don't give us cancer. If there is anything left.

It turned up something like 40% increase in breast cancer.

Then there is the increase in heart disease. More chance of bowel cancer, age-related diabetes, depression and suicide, marriage breakup and other even less fun things I would imagine.

I work rotating shifts and I can feel it killing me - and that is without being in a converted transit with sick people. All day or night I feel like I'm jetlagged.

Actually, that's exactly it - permanent jetlag.

For £10 an hour after tax.
