Confusion over the role of tattoos in blood cancer

A team that includes a researcher and professor at the University of Lund in Switzerland, Christel Nielsen, is going to conduct an in-depth study on whether tattooing has anything to do with developing a blood cancer known as 'lymphoma'.

This is after researchers at this university conducted a study to see if tattooing does not cause blood cancer and found no evidence to support it.

The researchers studied 12,000 people, 3,000 of whom had blood cancer and had tattoos on their bodies.


These researchers concluded that having a tattoo is only one of the possible causes of cancer, stressing that there is no evidence that tattoos cause blood cancer because the subjects who were studied were of retirement age and some of them were smokers, and this is also one of the factors that can cause a person to be attacked by 'this type of cancer.

They said that to confirm that tattoos cause cancer, more research should be done.

According to Christel Nielisen, a team of researchers from Lund University is going to play it deeper to find out if getting blood cancer could be caused by getting a tattoo.

At what age should you stop drinking alcohol?

American Dr. Richard Restak, who is an expert in the care of brain health, especially in the prevention of dementia, points out that starting at the age of 65, a person should give up alcohol completely, because of how it damages the brain, especially in the elderly.

On June 19, 2024, the newspaper 7 Sur 7 reported that although Dr. Richard Restak provided the information, it does not mean that alcohol is good for human health and for those in other age groups under 65.

Another thing that this story explains is that Dr. Restak's answer comes back to the effects of alcohol on the brain only, but it should not be forgotten that there are other negative effects of it on other parts of the body as well.

In support of this, we use the example of Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS) which occurs in the brain after vitamin B1 deficiency, as a result of chronic alcohol consumption.


The sufferer is affected by depression, loss of muscle function, paralysis of facial muscles, etc.

In addition to being affected by this disease, drinking alcohol contributes to the rapid aging of the brain, loss of the ability to make decisions and solve problems, loss of the ability to control emotions, and other harms to human life.
