the Sunday Times of London screamed "THE NEW RULES FOR DEFEATING CANCER!"

"Being even slightly overweight can increase the risk of a range of common cancers including breast, bowel and pancreatic cancer," an expert panel pulled together by the World Cancer Research Fund, has concluded.

The Times report continued" The largest review of links between diet and cancer, incorporating more than 7,000 studies, concludes that there is convincing evidence that excess body fat can cause at least six different types of the disease."

Cause is quite different from "can increase the risk".....But the dumb public doesn't read the fine print.. If we took the rules seriously we would now all drop red meat, bacon, all cured and salted meat, all sugar, starch and alcohol...no, wait a minute, alcohol is good for those with heart trouble... guess you have to choose...will i die from alchohol induced cancer or from alcohol deprived coronary?

"It's about time we had another good, old fashioned, hysterical, health scare, it's been at least five minutes since the last panic."
