The
risk of
cancer
associated
with
popular
CT scans
appears
to be
greater
than
previously
believed,
according
to two
new
studies
published
Monday.
The
findings
support
caution
against
the
overuse
of CT
scans
and
other
medical
technologies
that use
radiation.
The
studies
also
bolstered
the
rationale
behind
controversial
new
breast-cancer
screening
guidelines,
which
pushed
back the
recommended
age for
annual
mammograms
to 50
from 40.
Mammograms
also use
radiation,
but in
smaller
doses.
Analyzed
data
from
several
databases
estimated
that
29,000
future
cancers
could be
related
to CT
scans
received
in 2007
alone!

A
former
factory
owned by
chemical
giant
DuPont
has
contaminated
the
groundwater
under a
neighborhood
in
Pompton
Lakes,
NJ, and
a
disproportionately
high
number
of
people
in the
neighborhood
are
developing
cancer.
Resident
Tim
Carroll
says he
didn't
need a
state
health
department
study to
confirm
that his
Pompton
Lakes
neighborhood
is a
cancer
cluster.
"My wife
died of
lung
cancer
in June,
my
stepson
died of
throat
cancer,
my
neighbor
across
the
street
has it,
everybody
is dying
around
here.
I've
never
seen
anyplace
like
this."

Some
of you
may
remember
a Billy
Crystal
skit
when he
was on
SNL. He
dressed
up like
Fernando
Lamas
and in a
heavy
accent
would
say "
You Look
Mahvelous."
As well
as "It's
not how
you feel
it's how
you
look."
Well it
turns
out he
was
right.
A
study
published
today
reports
that
people
who look
young
for
their
age
enjoy a
longer
life
than
those
who look
older
than
their
years.
The
study
concluded
that
perceived
age
based on
facial
photographs
is a
strong
bio
marker
of
ageing.
It
predicts
survival
among
people
aged 70
years
and over
and
correlates
with
important
functional
and
molecular
age
related
characteristics.
