Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 I am curious?? How many of you folks out there registered with the state health dept??? I am!!! Kathy Boo It's about time New Form of Carcinogens: Viruses For the first time ever, the department of health and human services has added viruses to its list of things that cause cancer in humans. Among the viruses added to the list are hepatitis B and C. Hepatitis B and C have long been known to give patients an increased chance of contracting liver cancer. Another virus, papillomavirus, which is transmitted sexually, is now reported to cause cervical cancer. The report, which is updated every other year, now contains 58 substances known to cause cancer and 188 'reasonably anticipated' to cause the deadly disease. 'We think everything on this list is, in fact, relevant to people's daily lives and the public health of the country,' said Dr. Portier, associate director of the National Toxicology Program.
