No way that could be caused by unnatural chemicals that we're ingesting in our food on a daily basis. I suppose you also think GMO plants are awesome. Ever notice how there is ALWAYS some major organization right there to deny any theory of what is causing cancer rates to grow? How many have you ever seen come up with another answer for why it's happening?
Off the top of my head?
Well, #1 type of cancer in the United States is skin cancer. Relatively harmless if caught early, and a heavy majority of the cases can be contributed to idiots who use tanning beds and/or don't use sunscreen.
#2 is lung cancer, which is almost completely from smoking and people who worked in coal mines and such. It wasn't always common knowledge that smoking is bad for you, and by the time they finally figured it out, people that had been smoking for decades sealed their fate. Lung cancer is going to get
a lot worse before it gets any better, by the way.
#3, #4, #5 are prostate, breast, and colon. This probably boils down to people just not taking the proper precautions and getting examined. I don't know about you, but I'm certainly not looking forward to getting a prostate exam or a colonoscopy.
