The World Health Organisation have five classifications of substances based on how carcinogenic they are

Group 1 - Carcinogenic to humans
Group 2A - Probably carcinogenic to humans
Group 2B - Possibly carcinogenic to humans
Group 3 - Not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans

They only include one substance in group four.

News reports about what protects against or is a risk factor for cancer is best avoided.

If you have to get your medical informaion from the tabloid press you're better off not knowing anything.
