Meat is associated with cancer. We see this in Americans with the increase in colon cancer that is correlated with the increase of meat consumption. Also hot drinks is a suspected carcinogen. Alcohol is a known carcinogen and even if you don’t consume it, it is present in fruit and can also be produced in your gut.
People worry about suspected carcinogens but they are everywhere. Overall cancer rates are at record low levels except colon cancer and skin cancer. Skin cancer is a weird one since Americans spend less time in the sun and use sunblock.
- nicoburns 5y ago"Americans use sunblock" seems like quite a generalisation. Is that universally true? Spending less time in the sun could easily lead to less natural protection from melanin leading the more extreme exposure when it does occur.
- jessaustin 5y agoDecades from now everyone will laugh at us for using the sunblock formulations we currently use. It is as if they are designed to cause cancer when used as directed.
