Well seeing how as over half the people who have ever lived are alive today, you have better than a 50% chance of never dieing!
Scientists have discovered that everything causes cancer in your lab rat.
And that scare will soon be forgotten with all the others. The Swedish journalists are all gaga at the moment, the problem being 1) that they just don’t understand what scientists say and 2) they are all concerned with headlines (and particularly the number of extra copies they can sell). I heard the press conference on the radio yesterday and the head of the research group that had investigated the matter tried in vain to, in a very calm way, say that “we have no idea at the moment as to what really happens and the implications of it all and there is absolutely no need to panic about it”. She spoke to deaf ears, though.
That’s pretty unhealthy too.
One thing that nearly everyone in the media hasn’t picked up on is how many chips/fries/etc. a human would have to eat for it to be harmful. Sounds like we’d die from a heart attack caused by all the fat before the chips or fries give us cancer.
