Re: Science journal estimates half of all cancers are preventable

I do agree with you DQ in that up to 90% of cancers are preventable, but at least a Science Journal has made the admission (albeit a progressively slow admission) that cancer is mostly preventable.

"There is no doubt that a cell has to mutate in order to become cancerous. Yet an inherited mutation isn't the same as an acquired mutation, one that develops during the lifetime of the patient. Let's simplify the case and divide acquired mutations into two types: those that result from accident and errors on the part of a person's DNA, and those that are linked to lifestyle. The revolution that is looming in cancer is based on believing that the "lifestyle link" is so strong that it accounts for 90 percent or more of cancer occurrences....................

"What medicine refers to as environmental and lifestyle factors include some familiar culprits: overweight, lack of exercise, poor diet, smoking, overuse of alcohol and overexposure to UV and other forms of radiation. Of all cancer-related deaths, it's thought that 25-30 percent are due to tobacco; 30-35 percent are linked to diet; and about 15-20 percent are due to infections, many of them preventable".......................
