Can you get cancer eating burnt toast? or is that a wives tale?

No.  But why would you WANT to eat burnt toast in the first place?

There are no (absolutely no) health risks involved with either one. That whole cancer scare was started by a guy whose wife died of brain cancer, and he blamed it on her cell phone. But people who eat carrots also die of brain cancer. And people who drive cars. And people who eat breakfast...  But you can't place blame on just anything. Your phone is safe, and independent research (i.e., by people who have no axe to grind) have shown no correlation.

it will probably harm your health as it will cause you to get cancer

When you burn a substance, you're changing the chemical formula so that it has has excess carbon in it. Carbon is a known carcingen (cancer causing-agent). It is basically a poison that causes cells to mutate. So yes, don't eat burnt anything.

No, it doesn't cause cancer.  You can do a quick internet search and see that it doesn't.  There is a lot of speculation, myth, and urban legends...so be careful.  Make sure you read it from a reliable source like:\nhttp://www.ctfa.org/Template.cfm?Section=Internet_Rumors&Template=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=867

I'm not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure you can eat normally unless it makes you nauseus or you have trouble...passing the food.\n\nYou don't HAVE to eat. It won't kill you to go a couple of days just drinking juice and eating fruit and toast. Just do whatever your body tells you.

The 2 most common ways that people can get cancer is by the age old formula of tobacco and alcohol. They exert a multiplicative effect on your mouth to cause cancer. People usually get their cancers on the lip, floor of the mouth, or tongue. Cut these two things out in your lifestyle and you will markedly reduce you chances of oral cancer.

Any kind of smoke is bad for you. If you smoke once in ahwile its not that bad. If you smoke as much as my roomate does then you may get cancer or have trouble breathing.

I am reciting some of my experiences here – they are not meant to be boastful, rather I would like to inspire as many people who are suffering from cancer as possible – I would like to tell them – you can live normally! My best wishes to all, their families and friends! This is a long message so please do bear wtih me!\n\nThe stage grouping for my tumor was IVA (T3N0M0)  \n\nI ran a manufacturing plant in Mumbai (Bombay) and then moved to another city. I am a father of three beautiful kids- a son (age 20) who’s doing Engineering - Computer Science, a daughter (age17) who’s doing a pre-university science course and a school going younger son (age 10), and am very much in love with my wife of 25 years. We'll be celeberating our Wedding Siver Jubilee soon!\n\nOn August 30, 2002, I was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma - lower end common bile duct - by an MRI scan, I was 43 years old then (I married young), a malignant tumor was present at the joint between the head of my pancreas and the bile duct. This was further complicated by a scratch in my pancreas caused during ERCP on September 2, 2002. Though I have a high threshold of pain, the ERCP injury was almost intolerable and I had to be kept under sedation until surgery which took place on September 7, 2002. –.   Whipple’s procedure. \n\n\nMy gall bladder, omentum, part of my stomach, part of my pancreas (about 1/3rd),duodenum and the bile duct were removed. The margins were all clear. Right from September 1, 2002, when I had my last meal for quite some time, I was not fed anything at all, not even water. I was fed intravenously (I digress). \n\nReconstruction was carried out. I was in the operation theater and under anesthesia for almost 11 and ½ hours. Everything was fine until September 15, 2002, when excessive fluids started leaking out of the two drain holes made on both side of my abdomen. On that day in the morning I was fed with a low fiber diet with a tube connected directly to my stomach. I was very sick. My bowels gave away suddenly, and I lost control over my bladder. I started shivering violently and then suddenly felt very hot, I started sweating profusely and breathing was difficult even with an oxygen mask which had not been removed after surgery. Though in distress, my mind was very clear and lucid. I could see the expressions on the hospital staff and the doctors’ faces and understood that any second could be my last. That did not worry me or scare me, what worried me was my family’s fate after me, though after all the pain death was not an option that I wanted to reject outright.   \n\nI realized how serious I was, when experts advised that I be shifted to another hospital with better facilities a few miles away, and the doctors attending upon me, including the surgeon who’d operated on me and the anesthetist personally lifted me up and put me on a gurney to wheel me to the ambulance, rather than wait for the ward boys to come in. I remember the doctors periodically checking upon me by asking how I felt during the ambulance ride. I knew they wanted to know the level of my consciousness. I remember feeling the ambulance speeding and constant sound of the siren - not klaxon.\n\nI was quickly taken for an MRI scan and later my gurney with me on it was kept outside the hospital room, in a very safe and sterile place until the fate of my scan and probably, the doctors wanted to see if I would survive before admitting me into the hospital, Probably, if I know the law correctly, if I’d died within 24 hours of admission to a hospital a Post Mortem procedure would be mandatory.  I understood all this while I was waiting to be admitted to the better hospital, as I said, my mind was clear and lucid all throughout, I was very much aware of my surroundings, the people, the sounds and noises.\n\nAt that time I remember feeling quite pleasant, not hot at all and there seemed to be cool breeze wafting around me cooling me up. \n\nI was finally taken

Cancer is an erosion of the genes.. its when free radicals attack the molecular structure of cells and eventually destroy the cell.. it can attack any part of the body but I would say it must come through the blood or vital organs.. which process/carry foods.. I believe cancer is created from ingestion of free radical and toxic additives and preservatives.. apart from the obvious like asbestos which breaks up and then spears the tissue until it bleeds internally and becomes infected then cancerous.. or simply blocks the lungs which become clogged with mucos.. \n\noverall i strongly feel an anti-oxidant rich diet will help heal and avoid cancer.. i am about to go on a major detox.. and a friend of mine is a therapist.. he discovered a herb.. which is currently being "investigated" and tested.. but he claims he administered in trails to numerous patients.. some were completely healed others who were terminal had lengthy life entensions and no pain.. this plant is known to the aboriginal people.. who never get cancer incidently.. look into this.. i cant say the name- my mate will kill me.. but it is found in mercury rich soil.. i know that much.. and is a dar k green plant found in the desert which is very anti-oxidant rich.. a short leafy plant..  there is a simular plant recently discovered in africa too.. and a lot of new herbs and plants are now being checked out.. hopefuly theres still some left to discover.. maybe we should ask the aboriginals .. they might have all the cures we want.. if we listen to them..

No, it doesn't cause cancer says the latest tests.  The ones where it did cause cancer they were giving mice ridiculous amounts of the stuff. (like 1000 pops a day).\n\nBut I'm pretty sure that will be an ongoing debate.

It is up to her oncologist. Get a good one. Maybe she will be given radiotherapy. She should stop eating too much meat, do alot of deep breathing cos it seems cancer cells don't like and can't survive on oxygen but thrive on carbon dioxide. Take alot of fresh fruit juice (buy a juicer and start juicing). Take wheatgrass and more vegetables.  Read up on ovarian cancer on the internet.
