Causes are currently unknown, but I'll go out on a limb and say stress will be found as a huge factor

LINK
quote:

People with at least three years of higher education are at greater risk for cancerous brain tumors than those with no more than nine years of schooling, perplexed researchers said Tuesday.

quote:

an even higher risk gap was found between low-income manual laborers, and high-income men and women who did not work with their hands.

19% increase in men
23% in women
quote:

Risk of brain tumors — as of most cancers — is higher in taller people, and taller people tend to be richer and more educated,” he noted.

oh, well. Been nice knowing you guys

I'm sure it depends on the courses you take. For example, I had to take two economics courses to get my degree. Trying to absorb that garbage was a major headache--the first step in the development of a brain tumor.

On the bright side though, I now know what to do should I ever develop a tumor: unleash my attorneys on the University of California at Santa Barbara for a seven--make that eight--figure settlement.

College graduates are more likely to have insurance, detecting cancer earlier. Non college graduates with a frontal lobe tumor are classified as impulsive/addicts. They die from ODing on meth, etoh abuse,etc. without the tumor being detected.

Causes are currently unknown,


Drinking and unprotected sex are the causes.

It's probably because poor, uneducated people die of heart disease first.

If you have a BS in Physics from tech, and a masters in EE from SU, do your chances double?

There is a Trailer Park Boys episode where Ricky says he stays dumb bc if you learn and read too much it takes up the oxygen in your brain and you can die.

As one of the 'Hood Lessons' videos states, "Black people don't die from cancer: Black people die from other black people".
