Quote:Life expectancy is up all across the globe but yet we remain firmly ahead of the rest of the world in cancer. If it was an age thing Europe and Asia would be seeing the same level of increase in cancer and that's not the case. I'm not saying it's all the food I'm just stating I think how we grow, preserve and consume it is part of the problem.


I was joking about the microwave but it does bother me on some level. Just the whole using radiation to short cut cooking one of those mind screw jobs for me.

 

Sorry, but you're wrong. We don't lead the world in cancer anything
