Lisa Ramirez+FollowMicroplastics in Water = Cancer Risk?!Microplastics aren’t just bad for the planet—they might actually be raising cancer risks, especially gallbladder cancer, in places like India. Researchers found these tiny plastic bits in rivers (like the Ganges) could mess with our bodies in scary ways, from gut issues to immune system chaos. Only 25% of India’s plastic waste gets recycled, so the rest ends up in our water and food. Kinda wild to think your drinking water could be part of the problem. Anyone else suddenly rethinking their water filter? #Microplastics #CancerRisk #PlasticPollution #Health #BodyHealth100Share
Melanie James+FollowCancer Warnings on Booze? Big Move BrewingDid you know alcohol is linked to seven types of cancer? Now, top UK health experts want bold cancer warnings slapped on every beer, wine, and spirit label—no more tiny print or vague advice. Ireland’s already making it law, and the UK could be next. The drinks industry says it’ll just freak people out, but charities argue we deserve to know the real risks. Would seeing a cancer warning change how much you drink? #AlcoholAwareness #CancerRisk #PublicHealth #Health #BodyHealth71Share
john24+FollowThese 2 Foods Are Secretly Wrecking UsA cardiologist just dropped a bombshell: sugar and refined wheat flour are way worse for us than we think. Dr. Rojas says these two foods are linked to a massive 80% spike in cancer among young people, and they’re also big culprits behind heart disease. Apparently, they mess with our insulin levels, which can fuel cancer cell growth. Time to rethink those pastries and sweet treats? The doc says ditching them could seriously lower your risk! #HealthAlert #CancerRisk #HeartHealth #Health672Share
wilsonjames+FollowCT Scans: More Risky Than We Thought?Just found out CT scans might be riskier than we realized! A new study says the cancer risk from CT scan radiation is higher than experts thought—over 100,000 cancer cases in 2023 alone may be linked to these scans. That’s up from past estimates, and if the trend keeps up, CT scans could be behind 5% of all cancer cases in the future. Wild, right? Makes you think twice about asking for that extra scan! #HealthNews #CTScan #CancerRisk #Health124106Share
Ryan Lewis+FollowTattoos & Cancer? What You Need to KnowTurns out, your ink might be riskier than you thought. New research from Sweden and Denmark links tattoos—especially big or black ones—to higher risks of lymphoma and skin cancer. The ink doesn’t just stay on your skin; it travels to your lymph nodes and can mess with your immune system. Even laser removal could make things worse! If you’re inked, keep an eye out for weird skin changes and maybe chat with your doc. Who knew self-expression could come with this kind of baggage? #Tattoos #HealthNews #CancerRisk #Health7117Share
john24+FollowOTC UTI Med Linked to Cancer?Did you know that phenazopyridine, the pain reliever in popular UTI meds like Azo and Uristat, is now being linked to cancer? It’s been around forever and you can grab it off the shelf, but reports say it might mask serious infections and, in high doses, could even be dangerous. Plus, animal studies suggest it could cause tumors. Wild that something so common isn’t even available OTC in Canada or Europe! #HealthNews #OTCdrugs #CancerRisk #UTIawareness #DidYouKnow #Health3920Share
Charles Christensen+FollowEnergy Drinks & Cancer? Study Drops a BombDid you know the taurine in your fave energy drinks (like Red Bull and Celsius) might actually help fuel leukemia cells? 😳 A new study found that this common ingredient could increase the risk of blood cancers. Researchers are now saying we should think twice before loading up on taurine, especially if you’re already at risk. The study’s still early, but it’s got people seriously rethinking their next energy boost! #HealthNews #EnergyDrinks #CancerRisk #Taurine #Wellness #Health3823Share
April Anderson+FollowCT Scans: The Surprising Cancer Risk?Just found out CT scans could be behind up to 5% of all new cancer cases—on par with risks from drinking or being overweight! Researchers say about 103,000 future cancers could be traced back to just one year’s worth of scans in the US. Abdomen and pelvis scans are the biggest culprits, and multiphase scans crank up the risk even more. Not saying skip lifesaving scans, but maybe ask your doc if you really need that CT or if an MRI/ultrasound could work instead! #HealthNews #CTScan #CancerRisk #MedicalImaging #Wellness #Health393Share
Joseph Bradley+FollowCT Scans: A Risky Revelation? 😱So, there's some buzz about CT scans these days. Apparently, they could be upping cancer risks due to radiation, potentially causing up to 100k new cancer cases yearly! 😬 This study from JAMA Internal Medicine claims CTs might account for 5% of new cancer diagnoses if trends continue. They're super useful but come with hidden risks, especially in kids. Docs emphasize using them only when necessary and tweaking doses to minimize impact. What do you guys think—game-changer or overblown? 🤔 #HealthNews #CTScans #CancerRisk #Health509Share
