BREATHALYZER can now DETECT CANCER
"... United States and Israel have discovered that cancer cells (and other diseased tissues) have an altered metabolism that leaves a chemical footprint in the air exhaled by patients.
New technology is allowing doctors to take advantage of this chemical breath print in order to screen for cancer and other diseases.
Theres no stick, scan, or scope: All the subject needs to do is breathe into a tube!
This new twist on the breathalyzer test,
also called electronic nose technology, consists of several different breath-print detector technologies, most of which use sensors based on gold or other nanomaterials.
Measurements are confirmed using a lab test called gas-chromatography/mass-spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis. The detectors register breath concentrations of substances like aldehydes, hydrocarbons, alcohols, ketones, esters, nitriles, and aromatic compounds, all of which reveal information about health ..."

so bad breath or odd breath, metallic breath means you have cancer or some kind of disease?
Whatever the chemical signature is, it might not be detectable by human senses. I had heard that dogs can smell some types of cancer on humans. Makes sense!
