Does watching television cause cancer ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Wouldn't think so: Here in California, the law requires Cancer Warning signs everywhere, because everything we eat, touch, breathe can cause cancer. That's a reality of life. Everything on Earth can cause cancer, but the true question is, how likely is it to happen? Watching television from a few feet away, several days a week, a couple hours each time, is extremely unlikely to cause cancer. Life is about balance.

May be indirectly: If you are watching television, you are not exercising and are probably eating bad food, that may contribute to cancer. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Wish you good health!
