Included in life-style factors is also that people are eating more meat than ever before. While meat itself isn't unhealthy, some ways of cooking and curing meat do introduce well-known cancer risks. Some common plastics are also known cancer risks — if you heat them up or dissolve them, and inhale the fumes. Personally, I believe my hobby with synthetic resins and styrene (using solvent-based "glue") is what could have caused the B-cell lymphoma that I am suffering from. I say "cancer risks" because it is not either/or: It is about probabilities. Cancer mutations actually happen often in the body, and the immune system is constantly fighting them. It is when the immune system loses that you "get cancer".
