What really amused me is that at the bottom of the article about social networking sites causing cancer they list a number of links and ask you to share the article on those network sites and end by begging the reader to ‘sign up to see which of your friends like this article’! Talk about hypocracy! They write an article about how dangerous it is to your health to use something and then not only try to get you to use that thing more, but actually beg you to try to encourage your friends and family to also use that thing more too. I was surprised by their logic not to see an advert inviting you to buy your own lump of Uranium at the end of their article on how radiation can cause cancer too! (Mind you, if the Daily Mail wishes to encourage its readers to die early then who are we to argue?)

And just to prove how intelligent they are’nt:

.
“Eureka! Here’s how aspirin really can beat cancer
.
Most ‘miracle cures’ have two things in common: they are usually ruinously expensive and, equally often, they do not work.
.
The panacea, the cure for all ills is, like the perpetual motion machine, the philosopher’s stone or the elixir of youth, a nice name for something which does not exist.
.
That, at least, was the case until this week, when yet another extraordinary study has emerged demonstrating that if any chemical in humanity’s medical chest deserved the epithet ‘wonder drug’ it is the humble aspirin.
The most amazing drug in the world: Research shows that aspirin has far more health benefits than first thought
.
The most amazing drug in the world: Research shows that aspirin has far more health benefits than first thought
.
Costing less than 1p a dose, aspirin has for decades been prescribed as a pain killer, anti-inflammatory and prophylactic against heart disease. Aspirin relieves diabetes, cures some pregnancy problems and may even stop you going senile. Humans consume 40,000 tonnes of acetylsalicylic acid (the chemical name for aspirin) a year, making it by far the world’s most popular drug.
.
Impressive enough, but now a study, published in the Lancet this week, shows that taking just one low-dose pill a day, containing 75mg of the drug, cuts the risk of developing a whole host of common, nasty cancers from those of the prostate and lung, to oesophageal and brain tumours.
.
This effect is not marginal; rates were slashed by half for some cancers and the longer people take the drug the more effective it becomes. In fact, after five years of taking daily low-dose pills, death rates fell by 34 per cent for all cancers. No wonder experts are now calling aspirin ‘the most amazing drug in the world’.”
.
I mean, I agree with the article, but it sort of makes the one in the list look stupid.
