Most cancer is caused by processed food and toxic ingredients, new study confirms

@Frank Cannon doesn’t know how good you are to him. If it was up to me he’d get this:

Why would you get Frank earrings?

Why would you get Frank earrings?

Come on! Can’t a guy feel special?

[Frank Cannon]

Those are earrings? Shit. I've been using them wrong.

[RoosGirl]

Those are earrings? Shit. I've been using them wrong.

Of course they're earrings.  What else would you use them on?  And clearly the picture on the mug is of ear lobes.

Really? What caused cancer before food was processed and "toxic ingredients" invented?

My paternal grandmother had bad eating habits.  Red meats, processed foods, junk food, excess sugar, salt, fat, no fruit or vegetables, cooked and baked with lard -- you name it.  She lived to be 90 and she didn't have cancer.  Actually, cancer is almost non-existent on both sides of the family.  Now heart disease is another matter.  But hey, I guess we are all going to die from something.

My grandfather ate red meat,smoked home-rolled cigarettes or a pipe,and drank white whiskey his whole life. The water he drank came from a hand pump with a wellpoint sunk in the yard that was never tested for anything. Wood stove for heat and cooking,no insulation in the house and heat only in the kitchen when someone was cooking,or the "great room" where everyone sat around until bedtime.  He was 103 when he died.

If it were possible to ask him,I am fairly certain he would claim the greatest inventions were window screens and indoor plumbing,but I'm just guessing. I never met him. He died in the 1930's.

The local paper used to run stories once in a while on people when they made it to 100 or more.  Invariably, the person would be asked to what does he or she attribute to his/her longevity.  Sometimes you would get the expected answer - - clean living, going to church, etc.  But more often than not, they would say they smoked, drank whiskey, ate a fatty steak every day and so on. 

Who knows why some people live so long and others don't. Maybe if you ate right, exercised and discarded vices like drinking and smoking, your odds of living long might be better than someone else's. But then again, you could do everything the "experts" tell you to, then one day step outside and get run down by a bus. We just don't know what's going to happen and when it's our time.

From what I hear on late night television, it was talcum powder.....

Who knows why some people live so long and others don't.

Mostly due to genetics,and never once doing something like standing in the wrong place at the wrong time. For example,on train tracks when a choo choo is coming,or where an artillery shell is about to land. In other words,luck and common sense.

Extreme risk takers rarely live to be old,and regret living to be old when they get there due to all the aches and pains.

Maybe if you ate right, exercised and discarded vices like drinking and smoking, your odds of living long might be better than someone else's.

Or maybe it just SEEMS like you have lived longer? Time passes slowly when you are bored or serving time.

But then again, you could do everything the "experts" tell you to, then one day step outside and get run down by a bus. We just don't know what's going to happen and when it's our time.

Bingo! I have done some truly epic stoopid stuff in my time,and lots of it,yet here I am with no explanation for it. I sure as hell don't recommend anyone else do stuff like ride their motorcycle to the liquor store in a blizzard to get there before they close at midnight because they are running out of whiskey,yet that is just one of the stoopid things I have done. And that one ain't even in the top 10 percent.

What a load.  Every fool knows,  (well if you don't you will now) Including each one of you asshats ( and when I use the term "asshat" it is meant with all do respect and deference to the kind folk who post in the great establishment, as well as those who run this juke joint. They are educated, knowledgeable, tolerant of other viewpoints, and are all around wonderful human beings.  Okay So now that all the mutual Bullshit is over, Here is the point...we are all born pre-cancerous.  Some peoples just trigger more easily than others.

That is all carry on.

I get very little sun. I'm very white/pale with many freckles and had red hair. I burn in minutes. I suspect that you spend a fair amount of time outside even during the winter. For most people it doesn't take all that much sun exposure to meet their needs.

@DB
One of my very good friends was a pasty-white Irish lad with the same excuse... He just had to expose himself to sunlight while it was weak in the early spring (like the rest of us outside-dwellers do), and he tanned just like everybody else... Took some fast talking to get him to do it, but he hasn't burned since... Free, outside, and without a shirt all summer.  YMMV

I tan very little. Just turn red if too much exposure... Both my sisters tan easily.
