In an article on Bowel Cancer tests the Mail couldn’t resist sifting through some more substances and splitting them into cancer curing and cancer causing.
To be filed under cancer causing: obesity, sugary drinks, alcohol, bacon, ham, and other processed meats.
But it’s not all bad, they do reveal the important new news that fresh fruit and vegetables are good for you.
Almost enough for a Venn diagram.

I salute your cause, although I feel, unless you have 24 hours a day to spare, you won’t keep up with the steady stream of pseudoscientific nonsense that seeps from the Daily Wail.
I hope you won’t think it bad form to shamelessly plug my own blog, which had an article on this very topic a few months ago:

I’ll reciprocate your link, for which many thanks!

Shameless plugging is welcome Dr T.
You’re probably right, I think keeping up with the Mail’s psuedoscientific output may well be an exercise in masochism. But I’m curious to see how much overlap there will be between the miracle cancer cure stories and the ZOMG! this is going to give you cancer stories.
