Flight attendants and elevated cancer risks
Hi –
Below is a link to a new study out today. Flight crew have significant increase in risks of multiple cancers (50% increase for breast and gastric). Likely cause is higher radiation long term exposure due to long hours in the sky.

Pretty jarring data. All frequent flyers should read.
