As with every other week, the last 10 days has brought a slew of tabloid stories, linking various things with causing or curing cancer:
GOOD: antacids, Chinese herbal remedy, berries and tea, anthrax, frying food
BAD: being tall, tonsils, artificial football pitches, The RAF, oral sex
As always, these stories are largely nonsense, suitable only for the bin. Unfortunately, they are reported credulously and are widely read, and this saturation of health-related articles has several negative consequences.
