They list 50 countries, and relevant to your post:
- Belgium #4 with 329.9/100K
- Italy #24 with 290.6/100K
Not a huge difference tbh. Regarding the comments about vitamin D, Sweden is lower than Italy. So I think the correct conclusion is: These things are complicated.
- uwagar 5y agoi was looking for india and its not even on the list. cancer is quite low in india me thinks probably because of a predominantly vegetarian diet
- ncmncm 5y agoIt would be helpful to know where the lowest rates are, even though reporting accuracy is probably also lower. The bottom third of the list would still be informative, but the Institute does not seem to have that.
- wbsss4412 5y agoA 16% reduction solely on the basis of which country you’re in seems like a pretty substantial reduction to me.
