Once again we’re hurting ourselves while trying to protect ourselves.  How many times have we heard this will cause cancer, while that will prevent it only to find out that we didn’t know what we were talking about?  Then again, that could be reversed again later.

Don’t overindulge in anything and don’t do anything stupid. That’s about all that you can do.  When even the stuff that’s supposed to help prevent cancer actually helps its spread, what else can you do?

Remember that study that told you to pull the plug on your kid’s gaming corner if you didn’t want him/her to have the attention span of a dog with its head stuck out a car window? Well, it’s kind of wrong. Or at least, the experimenters in question blew their study way out of proportion and conducted some seriously sloppy research. So say Christopher Ferguson of Texas A&M and T. Atilla Ceranoglu of Harvard Medical School.
