How a Romantic Candle-lit dinner can give you Cancer~~~

Scented candles can be bad for your health, say scientists. The smoke produced by many of them is laced with toxins linked to cancer, asthma and eczema. The odd candle is unlikely to do any harm, but we should avoid using them day after day in bathrooms and other poorly ventilated rooms, The U.S. researchers burnt a range of candles in the laboratory and collected and tested the substances given off. This showed that those made of paraffin wax, the most common type, released potentially harmful amounts of chemicals such as toluene and benzene. Some of the pollutants have been linked to cancer, while others could trigger asthma attacks or skin complaints, the American Chemical Society's annual conference heard. Most of those on sale in Britain, including many scented ones, are made of paraffin wax, a byproduct of the petroleum industry. Beeswax and soy candles, which are more expensive, were given a clean bill of health in the tests. I think this is just insane..is there anything that they dont think causes cancer? I think that some people are just ment to die on cancer no matter what and alot of the times its just coincidental when they do tests..i could be wrong but this is just my opinion..soo what do you think? And does this make a difference in what candles you will buy now?
