Facebook: Cancer Risk

According to NHS website, using Facebook “could raise your risk of cancer”. The newspaper reported that social networking sites “could raise your risk of serious health problems by reducing levels of face-to-face contact”.
It reports that time spent interacting socially is now being supplanted by “virtual” interaction and goes on to discuss what the health effects of a reduction in physical interaction might be. These effects are reported in six categories, relating to genetics, immunology, sleep, morbidity, mortality and marriage/cohabitation.

I think you have a problem here. I used to think facebook is the best thing I had ever known,but now it sucks.at least I have tried it once, obviously you're an anti-facebook activist and haven't tried having an account on facebook so you're not a good judge unless you have one but with a fake name.

I'd never left any comments before but this time I think YOU as a research student should research before linking medical issues to social networking.
