Last week they told me net curtains prevent cancer
It's so confusing.

Check the original study for the *real* facts...
The study sampled two groups who had net curtains; those who twitched them showed a greater incidence of cancer, those who were disinclined to twitch did not. HOWEVER, there was no control group studied (i.e., people without net curtains) and no placebo group (i.e., people who were told they had net curtains, but in fact somebody had just draped a horse in front of their window). MOST IMPORTANTLY, they spotted a correlation, but not necessarily a causation, so the Mail should have pointed out, for balance, that the study could equally suggest that having a tumour may result in the purchase and subsequent twitching of net curtains.

Haha good work there
Although, it's exactly this sort of untapped potential that causes your parents such disappointment.
