Why does everyone have a theory on what causes cancer, without any kind of believable reason?

Everyone has some bullsh*t idea about something that causes cancer!! Where are people getting their info from, Today Tonight? Examples, just from this site today are hair dye, fake tan, and deodorant. Have a think about it, ppl! If these common items caused cancer, girls, the fresh-smelling, and the tanned would have no hope. Does anyone else think that this is one of the more hypochondriac and annoying trends??

Why does everyone have a theory on what causes cancer, without any kind of believable reason?

People always seem to have to have either someone or something to blame for everything because I think it makes them feel better having a concrete explanation as to why something is. My 5 yr old son has cancer and I asked the doctors the same questions - was it something I exposed him to? or something in the environment.?? . .and they all say the same thing that sometimes it just happens and cells go bad and there isnt a concrete answer all the time. In my opinion - the "people" that say all these things cause cancer are just covering thier butts and saying it now in the hopes that in the future should they actually be found to cause it they can say "well we warned you" but in realtiy as you said if it truly did then the FDA would have pulled it of the shelves a long time ago. I mean at this point you can get cancer from sitting in the sun to long - so really its a bunch of garbage. Live your life - cause you could die falling out of bed tomorrow. . . . . .

actually all of these things have been tested as carcinogens by the cancer society, it takes a long time to find cures for diseases, if you have the answer give it to us, if not stop grousing you twit.

Most people are drones and too stupid to think for themselves. So they just accept what they are told. It's what keeps the media in business, that people are gulible. Not to say that they couldn't be smart individuals, but most are too set in the pack/band-wagon thing.

True. People are avoiding hair dye and deoderant, while lighting up with a cigarette.

People would be better off focusing on the things that really cause cancer: cigarettes, too much sun, hepatitis B %26amp; C, HPV...

It's like the old Egyptians....you weren't liked if you didn't havre your own God...there were over 5,000. Now days it's the same with cancer theories.

These products and more can lead to cancers. Even using toilet paper that is frangranced and print can contribute to bowel cancers. However, in saying this, it is happening over a course of years. No it is no a trend. We are told that eating a piece of meat which has been burnt can contibute to cancer, not necessarily cause it. So when you put all these products together yes, the risks are significantly higher.

This is the proverbial "shot gun to kill a mosquito""They" don't know what causes it and to avoid looking or sounding ignorant the spew enough bull to baffle John q public.

Cancer is IDIOPATHIC..meaning no known cause. BUT human research proved that there are some predisposing factors THAT could lead to cancer. Like..LUNG CANCER-smoking..SKIN CANCER- UV rays/ Sun exposure...BUT these are just predisposing factors, if there is way to prevent it (like eating the right food/diet/herbal) then you may not get it even you're a chronic smoker. Hope this is the answer you are looking for. Well you don't have to believe what everybody tells you but it does not hurt when you at least know something about it than take the risk. :) Go d bless!

What is known about cancer is that cancer cannot survive in an oxygen rich environment. Also, disease cannot set in if your body is in an alkaline state of 7.5-8 on the scale. We are exposed to cancer cells constantly. It is only when our system is compromised that cancer can set in. Disease sets in when there is an acid level on the ph scale. Also, there is new technology that is in trials outside of the us right now that is ablation. Basicly, you lay in an MRI and they send ultrasound waves to the tumor and fry it.

You can look at the trials at www.insightec.com

Jennifer Anniston movie where she has a ferret and eats bar peanuts - despite the fact that they're filthy - they taste good. Go wrap yourselves in cotton wool if thats what you think will save you from 'de evil cancer'.

first if a ferret is fealthy it is because the owner is fealthy ok from their you sound so much like me i say that if they no that causes cancer then don't you think they would know how to cure it dah

if coffee is causing cancer then wouldn't you know how to cure it since you know how it caused dah

so i feel your frustration on that part do i ever.

Theory often results in real answers;until then they are just theories. Excess in any area is the basis for many health problems. You would have to eat a lot of char grilled burgers to get cancer I think. One theory that has been proved is that some cancers are hereditary. Over exposure to sun has been proved to cause skin cancer. Moderation and sun screens are the key. A tan can be achieved with sunscreen. we always have a lot of questions for things that puzzle or scare us. It is those questions that lead one day to answers and cures. No question is a stupid question. Not to wonder,not to have hope for cures that would be stupid. Don't stop living life but remember moderation and dreams become realities through the wonderment of questions.

Everyone one has a theory, because cancer is scary and for those of us who have it, we'd like to know why. I wondered about everything from chemicals I might have been exposed to on military bases to photo developing chemicals I used years ago. My theories might be annoying, but at least I'm a nice person. You're NOT! It's a shame that people who deserve it don't get cancer.

Cancer is a Virus....good luck.

Unfortunately, if people would smoke, use deodorant, dye their skin with fake tan, and dye their hair in moderation, they probably would never cause them to have cancer....

...But people have no sense so every time their is a lawsuit, we get some stupid warning.

...the word is moderation....

...and by the way, what is dangerous today will be what they are telling you to do tomorrow....case in point, now getting a natural tan is healthier for you than getting a tan at a tanning booth...gee

...and that some amounts of nicotine prevents heart disease,..@@:)

I don't know about you, but I'm keeping my "deodorant"..HA!!!
