Fiberglass vs. Cellulose

I would like to upgrade my attic insulation. However, I understand that fiberglass insulation is now considered a suspected carcinogen. Cellulose insulation, I've been told, possibly is a fire hazard. Can you help with this dilemma? Also, are there any factors that affect the R-values of each material?

Since Cellulose Insulation is made of Paper, is it a fire risk?

We are trying to decide whether to use fiberglass or cellulose in our home. We are concerned with fire safety. Any good answers out there or experiences? - I would like some studies or proof of claims if anyone has any that compare the two. Thanks.
