I think a lot of it has to do with genes..

Yeah, and there were a few guys who survived Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg, so it must not have been that dangerous.  Right?

Just because you survive Russian Roulette, that doesn't mean there wasn't a bullet in that gun.

Everyone seems to have a grandfather who smoked like a chimney and lived into his 90s.  I do, too.  But that doesn't lead me to believe that smoking doesn't cause cancer.  And I've now lived long enough to see quite a few people die, obviously from bad lifestyle choices, including what they eat.

Sure, you can mind what you eat, exercise everyday, get 8 hours of sleep, drink plenty of water and get hit by a bus while jogging and die.. When it's your time, it's your time.. But to say you can't enjoy the things you like in life because death is knocking down your door, you're just living in fear.. And if you want to live in fear, be my guest.. You can eat what you like, the key is moderation. 

And what doesn't cause cancer this day in age? The sun even causes cancer, certain air can cause cancer and even diet sodas..

But you go ahead and keep living in fear.. Just watch out for that bus while jogging.
