I mean there is quite a significant amount of research and data on the causes of cancer. Obviously we don't know all of them but we do (even as common sense) know that fit and healthy people are less likely to get cancer than unhealthy people, and also that there's a generic element (more likely to get certain cancers if other people in your immediate family have had it). And that carcinogens exist. It's not still a complete mystery.

But it does hit healthy people as well.
For example, my late grandfather was a heavy smoker, but was healthy pretty much his while life.

So the worlds doomed then.

If you are more likely to get cancer if your parents had it.


Cancer is rising rapidly, and with that information will only increase more, and more quickly as time passes.

Pretty good article about it here,

Being overweight is a major factor, people are stuffing their faces full of stuff that is bad for them, and our western diet is doing us no favours

…I don’t know if anyone here uses or is familiar with the app, Yuka…?..strangely I was telling IthinkIloveyoutoo about it the other day…with my phone, it scans your food item and ‘analyses’ it in terms of good and bad health choices and it obviously picks out toxins in foods that are best to avoid altogether…not just food items but cosmetic products as well, it also analyses those things such as soaps and shampoos and deodorants and moisturisers and make up items etc..and even when things are said to have no additives and be more natural in their ingredients…?….its surprising how very many are a definite NO in their toxic value…I felt as though I always looked for natural ingredients etc …but realised that I didn’t nearly so much as I could and do now ….anyways, I’m quite obsessive with mine and with using it…and it’s something I would absolutely recommend to anyone else…

Not heard of that but it sounds useful, when my aunt got breast cancer her Macmillan nurse told her never to use underwired bras as they are associated with a rise in breast cancer cases, dont know if there is any science to it or something she observed herself but I have avoided them every since

People's diet (I can tbf eat a lot of unhealthy junk too, so I'm not meaning to attack anyone else that's guilty of doing it,) and I do suspect that some of the chemicals that we sometimes use on our bodies, such as Perfume or Deodorant, are increasing our chances of developing Cancer.
