Stress doesn't cause cancer, but there's no shortage of wellness gurus who will claim it does to drum up business. This claim is misguided and harmful to patients -stress is a complex response, & can cause many problems, but the evidence for it causing cancer is just not there. In large meta-analysis of cohort studies, there's no relationship between stress levels and cancer - nor, incidentally, does positive thinking have any appreciable Impact, with pessimistic folks faring just as well as their more positive counterparts. The myth that stress causes cancer is not only wrong, it blames patients for their suffering whether directly or indirectly, and creates a market for dubious guru's to scaremonger their way to further business. For reliable cancer information, please check out reputable organisations like Cancer Research UK, The National Cancer Institute, or any reliable source. #cancer #wellness #misinformation #stress #myth #pseudoscience #debunked Thanks to @this.is.mallory for the tip
