(81) There are more than 100 different types of cancers and many people have the same question: “What causes cancer?” In some cases, the answer is clear. The choices people make can cause cancer.

Not everyone who uses tobacco products will get cancer, but the chance of getting certain types of cancer increases with tobacco use. The persistent misuse, or overuse, of alcohol had been shown to cause cancer of the mouth and throat as well.

Listen to the advice of your doctor or dentist when it comes to x-rays. The x-rays you get at the doctor’s or dentist’s office are not typically enough to cause cancer.

They say they would rather to spend the time with their friends or take part in some activities. Gradual, though, they began to see these evenings together for a very different way. We laughed a lot and we discussed each other’s problems. Since a few months, we all feel that we have been able to build much strong relationship within the family than we had before.
