Prof. Stewart remarks are doing nothing to calm my fears as I work with the

victims of cca arsenic treated wood everyday and I am one myself. Cancer from

cca wood may take years to develop and is not the largest problem in the

first place. Joshua Hamilton research has shown that arsenic changes our genes,

is a hormone disrupter and all in low level long term contact and sometimes

within moments of contact. It causes heart disease, strokes, nausea,

dizziness, asthma, thyroid troubles,skin conditions, weight gain, and loss of

sex

drive. It causes learning disabilities, neuropathy, hearing loss, cataracts and

on and on.

 

So before you relax keep your children away from cca wood and those who haven

’t done their homework

Take care and please keep safe.

Cancer cause myths busted by new report

BREAST implants, mobile phones, deodorant and coffee are unlikely to cause

cancer, according to a report designed to ease panic that everything can be

carcinogenic.

The new cancer myth-busting report by an Australian specialist assesses the

likely risk of 50 known carcinogens and a few old chestnuts to try to put

into perspective the risks of contracting the disease.

Smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, deliberate exposure to sunlight and

some rare cancer drugs sit in the highest-risk bracket for proved carcinogens.

Among the likely risks were smoking marijuana, tanning in a solarium, eating

large amounts of processed meats and living near a waste dump.

Using hair dyes and living near power lines were considered less risky,

while inadequate evidence existed for mobile phones, cosmetics and food

additives.

Report author Prof Bernard Stewart, from the University of NSW, virtually

ruled out risk for a range of rumoured carcinogens including artificial

sweeteners, coffee, deodorant, dental fillings, breast implants and fluoridated

water.

" No one should seriously lose sleep or change their behaviour in respect of

these very, very unlikely things, " he said.

" We're working to allay many of the fears that everything can cause cancer

because the risks are often insignificant. "

The research, released today to coincide with World Cancer Day, ranks

potential carcinogens into five categories: proven, likely, inferred, unknown

or

unlikely risk of cancer.

Prof Stewart hoped the report would clarify confusion and help people

identify their risk based on exposure to a cancer-causing agent. " For instance,

we

know that arsenic is carcinogenic, " he said.

" But smelter workers who are exposed to arsenic emissions are much more

likely to develop cancer than children who have played on climbing frames

constructed from arsenic-treated timber. "

Cancer Council Victoria director Prof David Hill said the research would

help professionals interpret potential dangers and advise consumers.

" This research doesn't contain any information that should alarm people and

shows that the campaigns we've already got in place have been well-focused, "

Prof Hill said.

Prof Stewart said the new challenge was to reduce the cancer risk faced by

growing numbers of overweight and obese people.
