Just the opposite, since organic was the norm before pesticides, and cancer was almost unheard of 100 years ago.

More likely, it is the trash we feed ourselves in our fast food, majority-obese culture. The digestive tract is about 80% of our health. Trash it, and one trashes one’s health. Willing to bet that the average Amish or Whole Foods shopper has lower incidence of cancer (and fatness) than the rest of the population.

The headline is misleading, then. Lots of people know why, but it would cause billion$ in lo$$e$ if the truth came out.

100 years ago men lived less than 50 years on average. I don't know why people want to romanticize eras of no antibiotics, high infant mortality and a rarity of living to old age.

What is this ‘fast food’ of which you speak?

I haven’t set car nor foot in a ‘fast food’ establishment in decades.

Wait...are Chic Fil A salads considered fast food? :-O

Agree completely. In out house, we are still cutting more and more processed foods in favor of whole foods. It really makes a difference. We have been cooking and rarely eat fast food anymore, and a nice restaurant is a special treat for us.
