Recent Studies Indicates that Cancer is Linked to ...EVERYTHING!

Yes. Cancer is a terrible terrible disease. My family's lost many people to it, as has SO's family. In fact, most of my friends have several members of their family battling or lost to cancer. It is the awful terrible monster that's slowing consuming everyone.
And although there are many many things that are linked undoubtedly to cancer--Tabacco, I'm looking right at you--there are so very many things that are only hypothesese.
For instance, http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070905/ap_on_he_me/popcorn_lung_consumer
This is a new report that links a certain powdered chemical that's in microwave popcorn to lung cancer. And in the report, they state that they have no proof whatsoever that the powder is the link, but that they can find no other "plausible explanation" for this man having lung cancer--oh, by they way, he's worked in the microwave popcorn factory most of his life, AND he admits to eating a few bags of microwave popcorn DAILY. Perhaps this man just doesn't lead a healthy lifestyle...hmmm?
But it's not just this, if you search a news engine for "links to cancer" you will find that cancer has been linked to many many things--including, some anti-aging hormones, hair dyes, antiperspirant chemicals, sugar, most cosmetics, some GM food products, oral sex, obesity, too much iron and/or calcium, cell phone radiation, microwave radiation, chronic heartburn/acid reflux, biotech milk, some child antibiotics, the general daily "Western" diet (red meats, fatty foods, refined grains, etc. etc. ), most household chemicals, exposure to gasoline and gasoline fumes, even fear is now linked to cancer in some studies; oh, yes, and grilling your food is also under scrutiny.
Basically, there is so much potential cancer floating around out there, you're much safer being alone-because now even sex is under suspicion-in your very messy home, staying nude and unclean, and not touching/talking to anybody...and be careful what you eat and how you cook it, well, best not to cook it at all.
I'm all about a healthy lifestyle, but there comes a time when "the fear" of illness can overcome your enjoyment of life--and be careful, because some scientists now link fear to cancer, remember.
