New research in the British Medical Journal shows that drinking alcohol over the recommended limit increases the risk of cancer significantly. Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-12999000
Meh, seemingly everything causes cancer, humans die, its what we do, there is already quite a few people around if not one else noticed. I am not looking forward to seeing tougher regulation by governments though. At least when it comes to my drinks, whatever that means.
Science has taught me that EVERYTHING causes cancer, from fast food wrappers to alcohol. If you take this shit too seriously you're just going to spend your whole life living in fear. Smoke, drink, use microwaves and eat fast food. Just live your life, for fucks sake.
The alcohol thing makes sense since my father was a heavy drinker for almost 30 years and he was diagnosed with cancer last year... But like everyone else says in this thread...what doesn't cause cancer now-a-day?
Give it time...they'll find something out soon enough. Remember when milk caused cancer? Yeah..that'll be weed someday
The reason "everything" causes cancer is because humans "FUCK" with everything. Rarely is anything in its "natural" state that we consume anymore. There are tens of thousands of chemicals, few of which have been tested for cancer in humans, esp. when they are combined with other chemicals. Weed is usually (but not always) in a natural state when consumed. Some growers fuck with it and add all sorts of chemicals, others grow organically. Our farms are now Food Factories, where things are highly processed with additives. Even animals are given hormones, antibiotics and other crap to ensure high profits, regardless of the health consequences. Besides chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, etc., the very living soil itself is killed with CO2 to sterilize it, destroying the natural ecosystems and weakening our chemically enhanced food supply, stripping it of valuable nutrients. It's all very simple, you reap what you sow... Sow chemicals in your food and consumer goods, reap chemical destruction in your bodies. In response to the article, I have to say I'm glad it's a UK study because something should put a fucking brake on British alcohol consumption. With Brits it seems to be a contest every night as to who can drink the most. Maybe this will make a few smart Brits wise up, the rest are doomed to alcoholism, cancer and liver failure.
This is pure unadulterated truth. I doubt many can really comprehend how they've compromised their health simply by eating what is generally accepted as a "healthy" diet- let alone slow poisoning through alcohol consumption. Preservatives, colors, manufactured sugars- which are added not for nutritional value but to enhance profitability in one way or another get ingested and either metabolized or stored. The alcohol industry and food industry, like any other business (including health care!) exists for one purpose only: to make money. The problem is that most people fail to exercise due vigilance over what they stick in their bodies... at best relying on the "Nutrition Facts" bold propaganda instead of investigating the more factual and micro-print ingredients list which details the types of poisons to be ingested. If attention can be diverted to demonizing alcohol then inattention is effectively fostered as cover for more slow poisoning in the interest of profitability elsewhere. Alcohol is straight up poison manufactured for corporate profit. Personally I prefer more natural means of relaxing.. :sifone:
You know my whole life changed back around 1972 or so, when I started to read the ingredient labels on everything I purchased. I quickly became an organic vegan. There was no other way to avoid all the poisons being sold in nearly everything. People really need to educate themselves about the poisons being sold in the products they buy. It starts by reading the labels. If you don't know what it is, then don't buy the product. Or better still read up on what those unknown things are... Then remember this too, when you eat out, unless you go to a good restaurant where ingredients are carefully selected and food is made from scratch, you are likely to get poisoned by something. Restaurant food does not include a full ingredient label... You should watch for: High Salt content High Saturated or TransFat content Any ingredient with initials like BHT, MSG, or food colorings (but THC is just fine!) Preservatives Of course the labels will NEVER tell you about what chemicals went into producing/growing the ingredients, like pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, antibiotics, etc. However a designation of a product as "organic" usually means at least most of the ingredients did not contain any of the above, but it's not an absolute guarantee of safety. Most crap added to food is intended to extend its shelf-life. So that loaf of bread can sit on a shelf for a month without going moldy. What I can't understand is even frozen foods get high levels of salt and other preservatives. Why the fuck are they needed when the food is frozen in the first place? My guess is once again, for longer shelf-life, especially if the food gets defrosted during transit or while sitting waiting for you to buy it. Far better to buy FRESH local, organic foods that haven't been shipped around the country or the world. Lecture over! Now I need a good stiff drink! Or better still, some THC...
Making your own beer from organic ingredients is pretty easy. Comparatively, it doesn't cost all that much either. My thought though from the article was not that it was necessarily the added chemicals that caused the cancer, but the alcohol itself. However, I am pretty sure that there have been quite a few studies that have shown that moderate consumption of alcohol tends to lead to a longer life.
this guy said #uck ... im complaining to webmaster ! OK ... my question is "What is natural" ? Now did nature get here? Which came first father technology or mother nature ? Did the chicken egg or rooster cum first ? In the Anu theory humans are a GMO organism modified by aliens suppose the whole universe is some chemicals in a cosmic TEST tube manipulated by mad extragalatic scientists '''''' playing 6od '''''''' See Im not trying to be an ass skip [that comes naturally] but I have an intuitive feeling that in fact technology played an integral role in creating what people call nature ... which makes the whole universe a GMO organism. What causes cancer/disease may simply be STREEESSSS ! The stress of suffering through all the complaining that results from mind control ... cheque out what crim and acolyte are saying here ... http://2012forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=22905 basically that stress is deliberstely induced to sell pharma-petro-chemical medicinal products [chemicals] dont misunderstand me or misteroverstand me ... I love nature ... what little is left. It just takes a looooooong drive to get there now [lots of gasoline] ! The great thing about what is ''natural'' is that its free, and free stuff [as hoffman pointed out] takes power away from the transnational titanic nephilim giants and allows little people [ELves im supposing] to self-subsist. Did I rant ? 7he point being that perhaps what REALLY causes cancer is '''''mind-control''''' by inducing stress.
I used to care about shit like this. Then one day I realised that we all die, no matter what we do, no matter how healthy or unhealthy we live, we all die. Plain and simple. The dude who never drank may live to 63 whereas I may live to 56. But really, what does it even matter? Life is how you live it, not how you try to preserve it.
Every single day children die. Does their life mean less or is it any less significant than the old man/woman who died at the age of 90? The human body is designed to die. One can live and eat well, they'll still die. Nevermind education, diet, and lifestyle. Plenty of elderly people die unhappy, plenty of children die relatively happy. Life is subjective. We as a society seem to put so much emphasis on length of life. All that really matters is quality of life and the joy that was derived from it. Don't think that a short life was lived in vain. Enjoyment is all that matters when life is at its end.
geeze '''''a saucer full of secrets''''' and all you can say is ''' we all die '''' ! yet lifespan can be incresed to 20,000 years ... cloning, stem cell organ replacment, antiaging elixers, and that jellyfish with the genes that actually age reverse. 1m not buying the ''' we all die line ''''' dont include me in your we. 1ve never believed in death and 1m still not fooled.
Live as long as you want my friend. At the end of one's life each and every one of us grade it by quality, not by how long we've lived.
Yes it is. Even the "good stewards" crap is nonsense. Humans can not be trusted. They have perverted stewardship with pure greed exploitation. It seems pretty obvious. When you adulterate tobacco with chemicals it started killing people. Taking uranium out of the earth into the living environment and converting it to a fuel to basically boil water. Stewards killing old growth forest for shitpaper. Grazing cattle on subsidies. Taking 12 pounds of chemical grain for each pound of Mickey D. Cotton's 90 million pounds of poisons in the US. Hydrocarbon plastic or Carbohydrate plastic is the choice and Humans follow the Fascists into "Treating" problems they manufacture. Never cures or prevention. profit over clean air and water and dirt. We can bail out the Banksters and Wallmart St but not enough tp extract the taxes owed Americans from Cayman Island shelters. Two trillion dollar for profit "police actions" and a few cold and luke warm "police actions. The 5 corporate media near monopolies call wars. I'm sure those getting shot call it war. But you can't profit on war. Mission Accomplished, it's a police action. Just like Vietnam, Korea, Panama, Guatemala, Iraq and the Sequel, Kosovo, Colombia and the trillion dollar Drug and Terror "police actions".

One third of the Birth defects and stroke victim retiree's out of pocket expenses was shifted by either Clinton or Bush 1 from local, to federal IRS income. They simply redundantly started taxing tax paid workers. Literally gutting the county and state budgets for road repair or cops and fire personal. Nurses and caregivers.

Granny Storm Crow's MMJ List Cannabis Inhalation Associated With Spontaneous Tumor Regression, Study Says NORML blog Cannabis Less Risky Than Alcohol/Tobacco, Says Report - 03/15/02 Source: Independent UK The Government's drug advisers reported yesterday that cannabis was less addictive than either tobacco or alcohol, a significant step towards the decriminalisation of Britain's most widely used illicit substance. Using the money to build the local economies and not million dollar smart bombs missing targets. Or especially terrorizing American sick people using ilicit remedies. Even the thought of that would have turned most stomaches 40 years ago. When families took care of their own loved ones and parents. So by exempting tax paid employees you save on the processing and most importantly. Stop taxing diseases and keep the funds in your own community.

So much obvious treachery. I assume its prohibition causing cannabinoid deficiency. 5 generations abstaining. Each more obedient and confused than the previous. Relying more and more on synthetics and passively submitting to the life prepared for them. As sheople to the slaughter grazing where told. Punishing and cajoling the oppressed with lesser evils. Shame and blame and lies and deceit. End justifies the means, oh but it can't happen here. 4 trillion dollars went to two wars and some banksters bailouts.

Now if the Bob bob bob, bob Barbarians can lean more to social liberty and less to just fiscalcalities. One can see the prerequisites of Life must also be a "right" of Americans. Thats all provided by Ganja and hemp. Cannabis and cancer rhetoric 02/06/01 People need basic nutrition and water, not necessarily just money to buy food to eat. We need shelter not necessarily just money to buy basic shelter. Clothing and either earth's dirt to grow or a community space to co-op. Clean air and water is also a guarantee in spite of corporate profits. This is the bottom line for every American human beings as it stands Constitutionally. Not practiced or any oversight and rarely an investigation of abuse. A red flag flapping and no one cares. Its dog eat dog falling in line to get more. In spite of the karma harming people for money in ignorance or with a blind eye or intentional without regards. THE OIL WAR OF 1872 When necessity was the "Mother of Invention", not Zappa's band. Competition set the stage for quality workmanship and skills. The best workers got the best pay. To invent and produce what the people needed. Now its all corporate profit and the only competition is for lower wages. Mostly found in third world sweatshops thanks to NAFTA/GATT. The same scenario is played out with the drug war. It's not a matter of stopping someone from individual rights to smoke pot. Its profit stopping them, for whatever reason. Or profit enforcing the bogus laws. While the substance is outlawed, it is not competition. All attempts to prohibit a vice have nothing to do with safety of the person, but profit or tax on implementing the laws. No victim no crime. But that doesn't stop them from filling private "for profit" prisons. Now the vice provides quotas. Mandatory sentencing is nothing but long term investments. We the tokers are a commodity for the fascists to buy and sell and rent out. Now lets see what the spineless krats gave away to the moneysluts over the budget. I'd wager its not saving a trillion bucks ending cannabis prohibition. Vices Are Not Crimes Vices are those acts by which a man harms himself or his property. Crimes are those acts by which one man harms the person or property of another. Legalize Cannabis In India What ever comes out of the earth as a life can not be prohibited or even taxed. No government can morally or legally stop any human from what the earth produces. The entire drug war is therefore illegal and only criminals aid and abet those perpetuating it. Outlawing vice has proven long ago to lead to immoral acts. The witch hunts and burnings and the inquisitions to the water boarding cold, hot and luke warm Ganjawars. With American political prisoners and those imported to US' over crowded cells. Livestock. We have to take it back because they conserve their compassion for themselves. Wallmart St. Machines don't give a shit about us Beings. This article on Casino's is 09 but most Casino's were heavy Prohibitionists, the same as Fossil Fools Booze, Drugs, Poisons and Prisons. Cotton and meat dairy and fish have their problems with Hempseed and oil that will take some of their markets. It's time to use their own shame and blame on those who put profit and jobs over humanity and health. Cattle welfare trashing land and streams is unnecessary. Ban exports. A few subsidized welfare rats cows requiring 12 pounds of chemically treated grain for each pound of meat. Poisoning the aquafer with run off going into wells and creeks. We have a population out of control, reduced resources and a retarded Congress doing as much as it can to go full speed bassackwards. Pushing more prohibition and Viagra and less contraception. But as society adapts, the Korpses know they must adapt. The booze and white powder pharms and prisons will also adapt when they are rendered irrelevant. All we have to do is keep speaking out and showing up. If we don't, then we will keep maintaining dysfunction for the profits and taxes it brings. While the herbals and "professional reformers" hone up on appeasing and begging for trickle down abolution. We could use a few thousand people outside of every DEA office on 4/20 or May Day. Or before the MMM march on the first Sat in May. I think maybe the whole drug war devastation is just unknown because most of people and probably DEA grunts get itheir news from Fox, CNN and the Alphabet channels. Pretty much escapes NPR and even FSTV as a headliner. We rule the lesser audience on the internet as it stands, That means censorship is always lurking. Ity also means preaching to the choir or pissing in the wind. Buy Hemp and Homegrown. Boycott the Pisstasters and Prohibitionists. Once again the country needs Nader and once again the country will vote for the dumb blond beauty queen or Palin or the status weird 4 more wars 0bombing.
