Cancer Myths

First i want to say I did try the previous recipe that i shared in my last post for sleep and I believe it did help, i will continue and share my results. Secondly: Rumors. Sometimes they make me crazy, hearing all these words, I have learned to just not listen sometimes. Kind of like what i don't hear won't hurt me.

Just a few of the rumors I hear about cancer often:

1. THE RISK OF DYING FROM CANCER IS INCREASING IN THE U.S., ACTUALLY ACCORDING TO REPORTS LISTED BY AMERICIAN CANCER SOCIETY, BOTH NUMBER OF DEATHS AND NUMBER OF NEW DIAGNOSES OF CANCER HAS DECLINED STEADILY IN RECENT YEARS.

2. ONLY SMOKERS GET LUNG CANCER. NOT TRUE.. WHILE SMOKING DOES ACCOUNT FOR THE MAJORITY OF LUNG CANCER DEATHS, 10-15% OF LUNG CANCER DEATHS DO OCCUR IN NONSMOKERS.

3. LASTLY, THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY REPORTS, THERE IS NO GOOD EVIDENCE THAT SUPPORTS A LINK BETWEEN BREAST CANCER RISK AND ANTIPERSPIRANT USE."
