Top 5 Suspected Everyday Carcinogens in the American Cancer Society's Scary New Report

5. Shift Work

The only non-tangible to make the top 20, shift work has been linked to cancer in a series of studies -- but science has yet to make a definitive connection.

The culprit is thought to be interference with biological circadian rhythms, wherein humans are exposed to light during periods of darkness. A 2007 study in the Lancet noted that shift work "involves circadian disruption [that] is probably carcinogenic to humans."

Where will you find it? At all-night grocery stores, hospitals, factories and homes with newborns across the country. An estimated 15 percent of us are earning our keep doing shift work, according to estimates in the ACS report.

How can you avoid it? Not easily, if your livelihood depends on it, though it does give new meaning to "Don't quit your day job."

Gulp!!!!

Well, since birth we are all the walking dead. Perhaps we will collectively develop immunity to all the deadly chemicals and such that bombard us daily. Hmmmm. That' why I haul off and eat a Ding Dong, Slim Jim or can o SPAM every now and then. Gotta keep that resistance up.....

(Warren Zevon)

You've got an invalid haircut
It hurts when you smile
You'd better get out of town
Before your nickname expires
It's the kingdom of the spiders
It's the empire of the ants
You need a permit to walk around downtown
You need a license to dance

Life'll kill ya
That's what I said
Life'll kill ya
Then you'll be dead
Life'll find ya
Wherever you go
Requiescat in pace
That's all she wrote

From the President of the United States
To the lowliest rock and roll star
The doctor is in and he'll see you now
He don't care who you are
Some get the awful, awful diseases
Some get the knife, some get the gun
Some get to die in their sleep
At the age of a hundred and one

Life'll kill ya
That's what I said
Life'll kill ya
Then you'll be dead
Life'll find ya
Wherever you go
Requiescat in pace
That's all she wrote

Maybe you'll go to heaven
See Uncle Al and Uncle Lou
Maybe you'll be reincarnated
Maybe that stuff's true
If you were good
Maybe you'll come back as someone nice
And if you were bad
Maybe you'll have to pay the price

Life'll kill ya
That's what I said
Life'll kill ya
Then you'll be dead
Life'll find ya
Wherever you go
Requiescat in pace
That's all she wrote
