Really? I figured as we age our cancer rates will plummet while our immune systems only strengthen, which is why the leading cause of the death in the elderly is extreme sports.
- eliben 9y agoThe alternative hypothesis was the "two-hit" idea of multiple changes accumulating in DNA over time, so it's not a trivial topic to study.

- josephv 9y agoI'm with you, upvoted for voicing the absurdity of the title. The article, which I refuse to read completely, seems like mediocre pop health science and this website has devolved into giving it, at this point at least 16 hours of frontpage time. I'll summarize it: "We don't understand cancer but we'll keep throwing shit at the wall until something sticks, and we're going to write up a bunch of shit and you shits read it so we can pay for throwing more shit."
