Health Note- Link Between Marijuana And Testicular Cancer Risk

Beloved,
I wish above all things that thou mayest...be in health...
3 John 1:2

"There's new evidence that a daily marijuana-smoking habit could increase your risk of testicular cancer.
A study published Wednesday in JAMA Network Open found that men who smoked one marijuana cigarette, or joint, daily for 10 years or more had an estimated 36 percent increased risk of developing testicular cancer compared with men who had never smoked the substance.
....smoking marijuana releases carcinogens, or substances that can increase a person's risk of developing cancer.
That's because cannabis, the plant marijuana is derived from, is like any other plant in that it burns and releases smoke when you light it."
