"The public are being warned by leading health experts about the boom in tests and scans for the "worried well".A group of doctors in partnership with the Sense About Science charity have hit out at the way DIY testing is being targeted at the public...
It called on government to improve regulation of the new techniques that are being used.
It comes after government advisors warned in December that private firms should stop offering body scans.
That study, from the Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment (Comare), said people may increase their risk of developing cancer by undergoing unnecessary scans involving radiation."
Not unfounded because it is bad or harmful.
Unfounded because people won't act on the results anyway.
After all, the commonest DIY health tests, weighing one's self and looking in a mirror almost never lead to changes or improved self care.
Fat people are so leading edge, er, leading round surface.
