Placeholder for the Risk Graph

No more Latin!

But what does “risk” really mean? Risk is confusing. It can be hard to understand how likely it is that a particular thing might happen to you. So let’s play a little game of…

“What are the Odds?”

Guess which one is more likely.

Getting a deadly blow from a falling coconut?

Yep! You have about a 1 in 270 million chance of death by coconut. Enjoy your tropical vacation!

FlipCardIcons_cow-11

Death by cow?

Nope! Your odds of getting murdered by a cow are only 1 in 164 million. Mooove along.

or

FlipCardIcons_vendingmachine-02

A fatal encounter with a vending machine?

Yep! You have a 1 in 112 million chance of dying in a vending machine-related accident — probably worth the risk for that bag of chips, though.

FlipCardIcons_Bear-01

Getting attacked by a bear?

Yep! You have a 1 in 2.1 million chance that your encounter with a bear will be… unbearable.

or

FlipCardIcons_murderhornet-09

Getting stung to death by murder hornets?

Nope! You only have a 1 in 2.5 million chance that murder hornets will do you in. And that’s only if you live in Japan. For now.

or

Falling off a cruise ship?

Nope! You only have a 1 in 10 chance of being a lefty (and struggling with zippers, and scissors, and can openers…).

or

Getting breast cancer?

Yes. 1 out of every 8 women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. Alcohol increases your risk.

Besides skin cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American women. About 1 in 8 women will develop invasive breast cancer in her lifetime. Alcohol increases that risk.

What does it mean to you?

This research was supported by funds from the California Breast Cancer Research Program, of the University of California, Grant Number 25 QB-0500.

Between 4-10% of breast cancer cases each year are thought to be due to alcohol use (we got this estimate from this paper). We used the middle of that range—7%—and multiplied it by 276,480, the estimated number of new breast cancer cases in 2020 (we got this estimate here). That equals 19,354.
