The Daily Mail list of 'Things that give you cancer'

I found this facebook group that student Hugh Davies of The Kings School Canterbury created, he'd sourced every article the daily mail had published on what gives you cancer.
The claims vary from water, to crayons, bacon and shaving.
They've linked teen sex with cervical cancer too, they say "In England, women do not qualify for NHS screening until they reach 25, perhaps ten years after they may have contracted HPV, the sexually transmitted virus that causes most cases of cervical cancer." and adding "The study in the British Journal of Cancer into why poorer women have a higher risk of the disease found they tended to have sex four years earlier than more affluent women."
