  Yeah I do find it a bit scary. I’m always reading things like this causes cancer and that causes cancer. And the worst thing is that a lot of cancers seem to be caused by people not looking after themselves properly. Like drinking too much, smoking, eating unhealthy foods, not exercising, not protecting themselves against the sun. I think the best thing to do is just be good to yourself. Allow yourself to have treats but be healthy too, and avoid the things that you know are bad for you like sun beds and smoking!
  
  It’s all about risk and there are lots of things people can do to change their lifestyles and lower their risk.
  
  But the really scary thing is that someone who looks after themselves really well and never smokes or drinks, can still get sick and die from cancer. And that doesn’t seem fair in a way.
  
  Here is a really good website if you are interested. It has a lot of information and advice and real statistics.
