If you eat a fruit, do you turn into a Banana? If that's the case, then you would definately get cancer.

No. The fundamental process of uncontrolled cell growth in your "dinner" would not affect you. However, if there was something causing cancer that you also ate (such as a virus or radioactive isotope), then you could get cancer eventually.

Good question. I think if you ate the part that was infected with the cancer that you would get it. Thats just my opinion. I don't have any facts about that.

No. You're body would not metobolize cancer cells into cancer. Enzymes would eliminate canerous cells inito waste bi-product.
Happy eating, Hannibal.

No, you would digest the cancer cells like a protein. Just like drinking milk doesn't make you produce milk.

You shouldn't. Your body would digest or pass the cancerous cells, not adopt them as your own.
BTW, I have a nicely marbled coworker you can have.

i don't think so, cancer isn't contagious, if it were aids i'd say yes.
