what was obvious is that cancer cells have elevated rates of reactive oxygen species that they use for growth and proliferation and also fuels metastasis and invasiveness of cancer cells

The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
it's obvious that cancer cells use reactive oxygen species for growth in proliferation and I know this is something that may be contradicting to many people we view free radicals is something that's damaging that the cell needs to get rid of but they're very powerful signaling molecules especially for cancer cells and growth in proliferation and in normal tissues
Whole-body MRI screening in healthy adults produces more incidentaloma harm than cancer-mortality benefit.
Starting colonoscopy screening at 45 (vs 50) prevents enough early-onset cancers to justify the population cost.
Multi-cancer liquid-biopsy tests like Galleri detect early cancers at a stage that meaningfully improves survival.
