Hah, as a dedicated sun-avoider, I didn't even think about that. If the sun causes cancer, and nighttime causes cancer... what exactly are we supposed to do?

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. Maybe it's better to take your chances with the night-cancer. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=63&Focus=1494#Comment_1494 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=63&Focus=1494#Comment_1494 Fri, 30 Nov 2007 05:27:49 -0800 MonkeyBusiness

So I'd say it's partly all in our heads and partly external; we are fucking up our environment quite substantially. The question would be how much of each. And what can we do about it?

Seriously, after this many announcements of "x has been shown to cause cancer", does anyone take these things seriously anymore?

I propose getting a big rubber stamp, inscribed "Warning: May Cause Cancer", and stamping it across the forehead of every baby born in indelible ink. 'Cause, y'know, it should just be there to remind us.

Anyone ever hear the bit about milk causing cancer? I was just looking, and I can't find it.

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. My maternal grandmother made it to 93 drinking whiskey, eating nothing that hadn't been boiled until grey (Irish, what can I say), and working shit jobs. I think the more you fret about everything that's going to kill you, the faster you die. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=63&Focus=2109#Comment_2109 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=63&Focus=2109#Comment_2109 Sat, 01 Dec 2007 13:02:52 -0800 Miss This may be what you were thinking of...but there seems to be a lot of milk-related cancer. Mhmm.
Bad milk, bad milk, earlier bad milk...
But wait!
Good milk and other good milk?

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. I have imagination cancer, and Fraggle Rock is to blame. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=63&Focus=2119#Comment_2119 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=63&Focus=2119#Comment_2119 Sat, 01 Dec 2007 13:10:35 -0800 Mark Seifert

@C.c.: If I were making peace with my cancer, it would be one of those growths on the head. I'd want it on the top of my head, where I could hide it with a hat.

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.

And now they want me to work until I'm 70 before I retire.

This perhaps explains why I keep wanting to punch annoying drunks in the throat. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=63&Focus=2236#Comment_2236 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=63&Focus=2236#Comment_2236 Sat, 01 Dec 2007 15:53:51 -0800 Will Couper
