I was reading a discussion here on MyLot on how solid coloured tissues and toiletpaper was banned, because they feared the dye in it could cause cancer.
And I thought to myself; EVERYTHING these days can cause cancer, and everything that could or could not cause cancer is prohibited, restricted or banned.
EXCEPT cigarettes and tobacco? The most well known cancer trigger that is, and you can still buy it anywhere. You don`t even need a prescription or anything, you just have to prove your old enough to ruin your health.
Pretty weird, huh..
(I am a smoker myself, so this is not ment as an attack on smokers)

This is where I say doctors and scientists are wrong on things that give or can cause cancer. It is honestly a bunch of bull if you ask me. Everyone has cancerous cells in them and some things bring them out in some that won't do it in others. For instance we will take smoking as apparently it is a big thing. We will take person A and person B. Both as I have mentioned have cancerous cells in them. Person A is a woman of 32. She started smoking when she was 14. Person B is a woman of 67. She started smoking when she was 16. Now you see a difference in age at a drastic point. Person A goes in for a checkup and finds out that she has lung cancer. She has been smoking for almost 20 years by this point. Person B has been smoking for over 50 years but has no sign of cancer at all. Some things will come out more in a person than someone else.
I can honestly say that I am tired of doctors and scientists saying that you shouldn't do this or do that. But you can't eat this and that you will get cancer. If you ask me it is a load of crap and they don't know what they are talking about.
