I’ve a renewed interest in liver cancer with a sweet cousin who has it now. I’m certain she has never smoked and she has tasted alcohol only a few times in her life.

My dear grandfather, who also never smoked or drank, died from liver cancer in the early '60s. He was a farmer. I suspect the cause in his case was exposure to toxic pesticides and herbicides over many decades of farming.

So it is clear that for many afflicted, liver cancer is not due to bad 'lifestyle' choices. But article seems to indicate the current statistical spike has a lot to do with drugs, alcohol and increased incidence of hepatitis. IOW, increased decadence in our de-moralized culture.

Yes, you are hitting on an overlooked (ignored) source of cancer and chronic health issues. Glyphostate aka Roundup is in nearly everything we eat. Consider GMO foods that are “Roundup Ready”, and high fructose corn syrup. Look up the way it is made, see also old dvd “King Corn”. Liver and kidney failure is skyrocketing in other areas of world where glyphosate is being imported for ag use. And think about other atrocious chemicals in our food and water. Just consider how commercial poultry is raised. And our water, full of chemicals that standard water treatment is unable to remove. And BTW I am beginning to wonder abt safety of so called organic food. hmmm

Same for my mother. Cancer has multi factorial causes.
