If you’re looking for a reason to avoid church, researchers in France have come to your rescue. They’re saying that going to church can give you cancer.
Reminds me of Joe Jackson’s song from the Night and Day Album, Cancer.
University of Maastricht researcher Theo de Kok and colleagues measured levels of fine particulates in the air of a small chapel and a local basilica after experiments in which they burned candles for nine hours and simulated a service in which incense was burned.
Fine particulate matter – defined as solid particles with a diameter of 10 microns or less – is a devil among air pollutants.
These particles are so small that they can reach very deep into the lungs and, as they often comprise soot, metals or carcinogens, can cause a range of problems ranging from cancer to heart disease.

We don’t burn candles, incense or even witches at our church, so I think I’m pretty safe.
