How dangerous are microplastics?
Microplastics are ubiquitous and have been found in the most remote parts of the world. Their ties to respiratory, digestive, fertility, and neurological issues, as well as several cancers, means it’s important to reduce your exposure.
The high cost chemical straighteners pose to your health
Filled with carcinogenic chemicals like formaldehyde, chemical hair straighteners can more than double your risk of some cancers. Even if you avoid the products, you may want to take further precautions.
A vaccine against cancer
HPV infection is far and away the leading cause of cervical cancer, and can cause several other cancers. Vaccination can virtually eliminate this risk.
Can a blood draw tell you whether you have cancer?
Liquid biopsies analyze blood, urine, or sputum for DNA signatures of cancer, and can detect many cancers earlier than current screening protocols. The technology is still developing, but could radically transform cancer diagnosis and treatment.
How targeted interventions can reduce risk
Targeted lifestyle changes can have a significant impact on your risk profile for cancer.
