My mother just called me while I was doing some school work, after watching the news. I catch the ending part of the story and supposedly computers can cause cancer. Is this true? I mean seriously. I know perhaps 'anything' can cause cancer, but how does it work with computers? This is certainly news to me.

If you eat enough of the silicon chips and such I'm sure it would cause some kind of ass cancer.

Sitting in front of a computer too long can cause brain bleeds, I hear.

given enough sitting in front of anything there is a possibility you could get cancer.
But you would die of old age first.

Damn, now with high blood pressure linked to Alzheimers, overeating linked to heat disease, and cancers with computers, I'm screwed.

In the past 10 years computer (and after them, cellphones) have been accused of causing, among others:
* cancer
* impotence
* baldness
* violent/criminal behaviour

My mom gets on stretches where she worries about everything.
Then I pull out this fact:
Worrying causes Stress which causes just about any illness under the sun.
That's normally my answer to some of these "OMG CANCER" things.

You show me something that doesn't cause cancer, and I'll show you something that hasn't been invented yet.

Being born causes cancer in about 60 years usually.

Some folk will belive anything, my relative is convinced microwaved food can give you cancer. To be fair, the coating on microwave popcorn bags has pretty much been proven to be a cause now. It melts and drips on to the popcorn, and biggity bam. Also, teflon apparently. My friend works on the research team that is working on the case. |

Doctors today have announced that saliva causes stomach cancer! However, only when swallowed in very small doses over a loooong period of time.
