Ach balls I'm a dead man i love a cuppa and a smoke.
having read the full study it's a poorly conducted piece of research, and may as well have said "men with blue eyes will get prostate cancer".

STOP TRYING TO KILL ME OFF!
I've got blue eyes too. :-(
The study also mentioned you live longer if you drink lots of tea... (hence why you may be more likely to get prostate cancer)
I didnt know you had blue eyes, what are the chances?!
Statistically you two are doooooomed! lol
It was only a few years ago they reported that tea drinkers were more likely to get throat cancer too due to drinking too many hot beverages. As bikers though I think a cup of tea is the least of our worries ;)

With all the steak I eat, the salt I have, the tea I drink, the blue eyes I have along with the blond hair & fair skin, I am sure there is a fair few cancers that will get me.
But you're right, helmet hair is gonnas be a bigger issue, right?
I would have thought in Glasgow the last thing the would have to worry about killing them would be tea!!

Classic headline, starts "Male tea-drinkers..." as if the ladies are going to get prostate cancer.
Utter crap for making headlines. Again. Next!

Don't worry about the tea, worry about the fluoride in your tap water, the PCBs in your processed food and pesticide residues in your fruit and veg!
Should you actually develop Prostate Cancer, it can be treated with some amazing drugs like this one (http://cancerhelp.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/treatment/cancer-drugs/leuprorelin), the down side though is that they do make you grow breasts! Well, I say down side, but let's be honest here, guys are breast obsessed so this gives you your own to play with! :D
On a serious note, I seem to recall that the biggest worry is that you chaps do not check your selves often enough for cancers down there. Catching it early is always your best bet, so get checking boys, please?

Took the PSA test 30 months ago - glad I did.
Operation 25 months ago.
Downside: missed most of 2010 riding season. No t1ts yet!
( Oh - used to drink gallons of tea, but sure that was not the problem )

Not to bad a downside to be honest. You could have been missing the rest of your life.

I'm a builder FFS, we run on tea :(
The only safe way is to eat organic fruit and veg and drink only water, at least when you get run over or whatever, the person receiving your donor organs will know they were nice healthy ones :)

This is true.
I am a registered organ doner, if they can get anything out of me that is worth using it'll be a stroke of luck
Can't think tea is going to get me in any more trouble than sweets,food die's, brake /clutch dust,Red meats fag s and booze i have already absorbed.
Gave up smoking and booze long time back .
I've done my bit thank you.

did you know that living kills you.
Next week asbestos will be good for us and we will all be advised to have it in our sandwiches.

The way to survive is to DO everything. It cancels it all out. I'm on over a litre of coffee a day, lots of tea and diet coke (out of a glass bottle though, cans will kill you!), I carry two mobile phones, spend a lot of time in the car, have been exposed to asbestos by idiots, don't wear suncream, stare at computer screens/TVs in excess,eat almost a kilo of meat a day, and have been off my tits for the past week.
You can't live AND listen to all the 'advice' they give you just have to get on with it and assess the risks for yourself, what it's worth to you.

It'd be rare for Russell Howard to be original!
...But definitely agree with the sentiment.
You don't live longer if you stop doing the things you enjoy .
It just seams that way.

A statement I have heard going around for years is that the big secret is to stop eating meat, smoking anything, having sex or doing anything fun. You wont live any longer, but it sure will feel like it!
This evening, I am going to tuck into a nice medium steak, have a soak in the bath and relax with the wife ( :smt110 :smt079 ).
I may not live any longer, but by the time I get to the end of my life, I will have earned the rest! :smt023

My Dad god rest his sole, smoked until he was 75, had a quadruple bypass, gave up smoking and lived until he was 83
No cancer, heart finally gave out. He drank tea and coffee every day.
So bollox to the tea gives you cancer.
I just think if you're going to get the big C, its in your genes that causes you to be susceptible to getting the big C

I enjoy red meat, alcohol, tea, coffee, eat far too little fruit and veg and lived on McDonalds for lunch for several years. According to all current research I am, in fact, already dead! Oh, and blue eyes too, so really very dead. But at least I didn't die of vegetarian, 30mph in a 60, organic sack-cloth wearing, in bed by 9 o'clock with a horlicks boredom. Never smoked a ciggy in my life though, so maybe that's why I still appear to have a pulse!
