Military Pilots, Ground Crews are at Greater Risk of Developing Cancer Compared to the General U.S. Population

A Congressionally commissioned study in 2021 followed nearly 1 million service members who flew on or worked on military aircraft between 1992 and 2017. It found that military pilots and the ground crews who helped them were at greater risk of developing cancer of any kind compared to the general U.S. population. 

Air crews suffered an 87% higher rate of melanoma. Men were 16% more likely to get prostate cancer, and women were 16% more likely to get breast cancer. Ground crews had a 19% higher rate of cancers of the brain and nervous system, a 15% higher rate of thyroid cancer, and a 9% higher likelihood of kidney or renal cancers.

One of the most important steps you can take to reduce your risk is to remove the toxins from skin. Your skin if your largest organ and constantly absorbing what's on it. When you remove those toxins with FLAME it reduces your risk.
