CANCER CAUSING FOODS

Drinking coffee, using mobile phones or having breast implants is unlikely to cause cancer, according to a new Australian study devised to debunk popular myths.

The study also reaffirmed that smoking, alcohol and exposure to sunlight ar leading risk factors, but about coffee, mobile phones, deodorants, breast implants and water with added fluoride are safe.

Individuals that are considered extremely risky:
  • Active smokers and ex-smokers, although the risk is reduced for people who quit smoking.
  • Drinking alcohol is also a high risk factor, particularly for people who also smoke. But no specific type of alcoholic drink was most strongly to blame.
