except these dietary factors make no sense / change so frequently they are almost science fads. tobacco use has dropped significantly in the last 30 years. sodium is now considered not that important, especially compared to sugar. low in milk contradicts the reality that milk is full of hormones and antibiotics we do an about face on lots of “dietary risk factors” every 5-10 years

If I'm reading the article correctly, those factors mean that current young smokers have a higher chance of dying from cancer than young smokers from the 90's. The probability is so much higher that the total of deaths increased by many tens of percent, while the total number of smokers decreased by an order of magnitude or so. I do agree that it makes no sense to blame the mortality on smoking. The change in smoking is clearly not what is leading it.
