Can vaping cause cancer? Top NYC doctor responds
Vaping is increasingly becoming popular, especially among adolescents. Some consider it a safer alternative to conventional cigarettes. Its popularity among youngsters is raising concerns about its safety. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Whether vaping has any health risks, particularly if it has the potential to cause cancer, is a growing concern. Dr. Tim Tiutan, a New York City-based board-certified internal medicine physician who treats cancer patients, has weighed in on the issue. Before we dive into that, let's understand what vaping is. What is vaping Vaping involves inhaling an aerosol (not water vapor) produced by an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) or similar device called a vape. These devices heat a liquid, often called e-liquid or vape juice, which usually contains nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals, turning it into an aerosol that can be inhaled into the lungs. Vaping is similar to smoking a cigarette, but it does not involve burning tobacco. Vapes come in all shapes and sizes. These include e-pens, e-pipes, e-hookah, and e-cigars. Despite their variety, they contain the same basic components. Battery Heating element Place to hold e-liquid (such as a cartridge or pod) According to the American Lung Association, the following toxic chemicals and metals have all been found in e-cigarettes. Nicotine: It is a highly addictive substance that negatively affects adolescent brain development Propylene glycol: A common food additive, also used to make things like antifreeze, paint solvent, and artificial smoke in fog machines Carcinogens: These are chemicals known to cause cancer, including acetaldehyde and formaldehyde Acrolein: It is a herbicide primarily used to kill weeds. This chemical can cause irreversible lung damage Diacetyl: A chemical linked to a lung disease called bronchiolitis obliterans, aka 'popcorn lung' Diethylene glycol: A toxic chemical used in antifreeze that is linked to lung disease Heavy metals such as nickel, tin, lead Cadmium: A toxic metal found in traditional cigarettes that causes breathing problems and other illnesses Benzene: A volatile organic compound (VOC) found in car exhaust Ultrafine particles that can be inhaled deep into the lungs So, it's not just vapor one is inhaling. Hidden dangers of vaping Though vaping is often assumed to be a safer alternative to traditional smoking, Dr. Tiutan warns that the substances used in it are far from harmless. 'I don't have to tell you that inhaling random unregulated substances can cause lung damage and heart disease,' the doctor said in a shared on Instagram. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He also quoted studies and added, 'Early studies also suggest vaping may increase cancer risk.' Vaping releases oxygen-free radicals that may cause DNA damage. He added that various compounds commonly found in vape liquid, like heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, can wreak havoc on health. 'I think there's so much more harm we've yet to discover so quit vaping,' he said. Top foods to prevent lung cancer A recent has found that vaping is more dangerous than traditional cigarettes. 'We found that these disposable devices have toxins already present in the e-liquid, or they're leaching quite extensively from their components into e-liquids and ultimately transferred to the smoke,' the researchers said. 'Our study highlights the hidden risk of these new and popular disposable electronic cigarettes — with hazardous levels of neurotoxic lead and carcinogenic nickel and antimony — which stresses the need for urgency in enforcement,' they confirmed.

Oncology expert's cancer warning over common food eaten 2.2billion times a year in UK
Dr Tim Tiutan has warned that a certain food item can increase the risk of developing cancer. An oncology expert has issued a stark warning about a ubiquitous food item that's a staple in many British households, so much so that the UK consumes a staggering 2.2billion servings each year. Dr Tim Tiutan, an internal medicine doctor at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre in New York, highlighted the dangers of instant noodles, drawing a connection to heightened cancer risk. Dr Tiutan explained: "High salt diets can increase cancer risk by disrupting your stomach lining and fueling H. pylori infections-a major driver of stomach cancer. Excessive salt is associated with increasing stomach cancer risk by 55 per cent and may even double the risk when H. pylori is present." He advised: "Reduce your salt intake to one teaspoon per day and try to eat high salt foods like these sparingly. Bacon, ham, hot dogs, sausages, deli meats, preserved foods, canned soups, instant noodles." The doctor added: "This isn't about fear-mongering. Small diet changes can lower cancer risk. Sodium is essential to life, but too much can be harmful. High salt intake leads to hypertension and other chronic medical conditions too. "Sometimes health providers ask patients to take in more salt for various medical reasons, which people should follow," According to NHS guidelines, individuals should not exceed 6g of salt per day to avoid serious health issues, such as heart problems, stroke, kidney disease, osteoporosis, and others. However, it's alarming that just one packet of instant noodles might contain up to 6g of salt—the full amount recommended for a whole day—accounted for in both the noodles themselves and the flavouring sachet. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria that infects the stomach, reports Bristol Live. It's incredibly prevalent - over half the world's population carries it - but many individuals are unaware they're infected. It harms the protective lining of the stomach, leading to gastritis, ulcers and cancer. Recent studies have discovered that excessive salt consumption boosts the risk of stomach cancer by between 41 and 100 per cent. Just a couple of months ago a medical professional warned that consuming too little salt could pose greater risks than overindulgence. Gastroenterologist Dr Saurabh Sethi has shed light on the potential consequences of eliminating salt from our diets for an extended period. While health practitioners frequently highlight the "dangers" of excessive salt intake, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, strokes, kidney damage, osteoporosis, cancer, and dementia, Dr Sethi emphasises that insufficient salt can also be "extremely harmful". According to him, salt is a vital electrolyte that aids our bodies in water retention. He explained: "Without it, you would likely experience severe dehydration [and] your blood volume will decrease significantly, leading to a drop in blood pressure". Furthermore, Dr Sethi noted that cravings for salty foods could become "very intense" if one's diet lacks adequate salt. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

What Is "Fart Walk", New Wellness Trend Going Viral For Its Health Benefits
A new health and wellness trend called "fart walk" is gaining traction on social media after receiving firm backing from medical professionals. According to the New York Post, the term, "fart walk", was first coined by Canadian cookbook author Mairlyn Smith. The trend revolves around taking a light walk after meals and embracing the simple joys of letting loose. According to experts, this habit could just be the low-effort longevity secret you've been looking for, as it can help improve long-term health by promoting intestinal motility and reducing gas and constipation. "Going for a fart walk after dinner is something that is going to help you age wonderfully," Smith said in a TikTok, explainaing that the primary goal of this fitness routine is to aid digestion and ward off serious disease. "We eat a lot of fiber, so we have gas - everybody does - so you fart when you walk," Smith explained, per the Post. "But the main reason we do the fart walks is by walking for as little as two are helping reduce our chances of developing Type 2 diabetes," she added. Dr Tim Tiutan, an internal medicine physician at New York City's Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre, backed Smith's fitness trend. "I totally support fart walks," he said in an Instagram video. "Walking after meals does promote intestinal motility - or movement of our intestines - to get rid of gas and prevent constipation. Another benefit of exercise is not only preventing large spikes in blood sugar or even making us more sensitive to insulin for up to 24 hours, but it also lowers our cancer risk," he added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dr. Tim Tiutan | Internal Medicine (@ According to The Independent, Dr. Christopher Damman, a gastroenterologist at the University of Washington Medical Centre, also supported the trend. He explained that a post-meal walk is most effective if done within an hour of eating. "If you wait too long, you'll miss the spike because it starts going up within minutes after you eat when the stomach starts to empty into the small intestine where all of the nutrients, including glucose, get absorbed into the blood," he said. Lastly, according to experts, "fart walks" can also reduce the risk of cancer. "Going for a walk at an average to brisk pace can provide people with a tremendous health benefit. It's free, easy, and can be done anywhere," Dr. Alpa Patel, of the American Cancer Society, said. "You get more bang for the buck if you walk after meals," Loretta DiPietro, a professor of exercise and nutrition science at the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health, explained.
