Question 6

do mobile phones cause cancer?

Accepted Answer

I say "No": Some of my colleagues will not agree. There's no credible mechanism. The wavelengths of radiation that cause cancer are far different from those that a phone emits. Epidemiologic studies generate a huge amount of junk data, especially when there's a "pop" fear -- recall bias. In one study, there was more cancer on the side OPPOSITE to where the phone was held. I wouldn't worry.

Question 7

could certain chemicals really cause cancer?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: Thousands of real scientists make careers out of separating the ones that do from the ones that don't. Almost all the "pop" scares are unfounded, but regrettably there have been some sad cases, especially in industry. The real ones cause a tremendous increase in one particular (usually exotic) type of cancer.

Question 8

does coffeemate cause cancer ? is it bad in any way ?

Accepted Answer

Unknown, YES- avoid!: I would never eat coffeemate. The 1st ingredient is corn syrup, which causes obesity/increases risk of diabetes. The next ingredients are hydrogenated oils/trans fats, proven to increase risk of heart disease. It has corn & soy which are likely from gmo sources.Animal studies suggest gmo corn & soy might increase cancer risk, though the risk from coffeemate may be trivial.See http://bit.Ly/19xax7e.

Question 9

can airpods cause cancer? im really scared. please answer

Accepted Answer

No Proof of this: The Rumor that Airpods can cause localized and brain cancer is based on the idea that Bluetooth electromagnetic radiation in your ear canal could cause cellular damage and tumors. However, at this time, there’s no evidence suggesting that the amount of radiation emitted by AirPods is enough to damage your health. However, listening to loud music has been proven to damage hearing.
