    Always a good read, most cancers are environmental, and most of these are caused by obesity, bad diet and smoking&#x2F;drinking, fix these four things in your life and you reduce your chances of getting cancer by 50%+

      I deeply dislike that answer. Its religous tainted by that utopian pseudo-religion (&quot;Glutony punishes the sinners with infinite growth&quot;) and a template for the &quot;soft authoritarianism&quot; that is prevalent in the european union. As in: &quot;We know better then you, we will reduce the size of the dice and nudge you to be better with acrylamids in baked and roasted goods- everywhere except coffee &quot;

      Synthetic rational religion even replicated hypocrisy in its own way. Cancer is just life going wrong. Its not avoided by being dead while alive.
