Cancer is a man-made disease fuelled by the excesses of modern life

Hummm, utter 'dangle berries'!

I used to work with a guy in his early 60's, it was a young mobile content entertainment company, and he was by far the oldest employee. Yet he could out run any of us, he ran all kinds of Marathons in excellent times, he saw and climbed the world and never smoked.

Every lunch time while i was stuffing my face of very un-healthy food from Tesco or local sandwich shop, he would be reading a book eating pita bread and tomatoes, he always ate healthy and kept himself fit.

He was a good friend who always helped me with my SQL at work, he died last year from stomach cancer

My friend proved that with his life long healthy diet

"What Just One High-Saturated-Fat Meal Can Do"

A small but apparently significant study, published in the August 15th, 2006 Journal of the American College of Cardiology, shows that eating just one high-saturated-fat meal can hinder the ability of HDL or "good" cholesterol from protecting against clogged arteries.
Fourteen healthy Australian volunteers between the ages of 18 and 40 were fed two special meals one month apart. Each meal comprised a slice of carrot cake and a milkshake. But one of the meals was high in saturated fat (made with coconut oil) while the other was high in polyunsaturated fat (using safflower oil). Neither the researchers nor the participants knew which meal was eaten during which visit. The meals were prepared so that each volunteer ate 1 gram of fat per kilogram (2.2 pounds) of body weight—roughly the equivalent of a double cheeseburger, large fries and a large milkshake for a 150-pound person.

Three hours after eating the saturated-fat cake and shake meal, the artery linings were unable to expand sufficiently to increase blood flow to the body’s tissues and organs. The arteries showed some reduced ability after the polyunsaturated meal, but these results were deemed not statistically significant.

After six hours, researchers noted that the anti-inflammatory qualities of HDL cholesterol were reduced after eating the saturated-fat meal, whereas they improved after eating the polyunsaturated meal.

It’s long been thought that diets high in saturated fat tend to clog our arteries with plaque, putting us at increased risk of heart attack and stroke. If this is what one meal can do in a few hours, imagine what a lifelong diet of high-saturated-fat food will do. This study seems to show not only that the negative effects of eating certain fats is more immediate than we thought, but also that the positive effects of HDL cholesterol in our bodies is dependent on other factors. And for those who promote coconut oil as a healthier kind saturated fat, since it’s a plant-based saturated fat, this study may be a setback"

In large enough amounts, anything can kill you .. water, for example.

Or you could live a pious life of vegetables and water, and get run over by a bus tomorrow..

Life is just one big game of chance.

It's all utter 'dangle berries' Tunnie, and believe me as someone who's been through it twice now & thankfully come out the other end still kicking, and had my Mum die of Bowel Cancer in 2004, I have more knowledge than the average Punter! Read the Papers one week & too much red wine will kill you, read the same papers a month later & too little red wine will kill you!
'A little bit of what you fancy does you good'. Remember that old adage? It's as sound a rule to live by now as it always was! Take anything in excess, & it is going to turn round & bite you in the arse! As for the utterly stupid headline 'Cancer caused by Modern Living', Who in Ancient Egyptian times would have known what to look for? Even allowing for the fact that only Royalty, the very rich & Governmental figures would have had access to any medical facilities (a small fraction of the population) let alone be embalmed or mummified to tell the (scurrilous)tale thousands of years later! If anything in 'Modern Life' was responsible for Cancer & umpteen other diseases, it is the Heavy Engineering & Chemical Processes that the Western World grew rich on & which took and continues to take, a very heavy toll on the people who worked in those Industries. But no-one will convince me that the poor buggers who pioneered iron ore smelting or bronze refining in the Bronze Age didn't have Cancerous illness caused by the march of 'Progress'!
