Pollution, pesticides and fast food is killing our children, with new government statistics revealing that the number of youngsters diagnosed with cancer has risen by 40% over the past 16 years.

Analysis compiled by researchers from the charity Children with Cancer UK found new cases of cancer in young people rose by 1,300 every year since statistics were last compiled in 1998.

The charity found this is most evident in colon cancer, which has increased by 200%, and thyroid cancer, which has seen its cases doubled during the 18 years since the last report was released. […]

Alasdair Philips, science adviser at Children with Cancer UK, told Sky News that there seems to be “a correlation between the lifestyle of young people. They tend to be doing a lot less exercise and there’s also a lot of fast food being eaten, which is fine in moderation, but we know they do contain cancer-giving substances.” …

Let’s not panic. Yet a kid from my high school (class of 1968) has got cancer and those nut case hippies at the health food store may be able to give good advise on lemon juice, fresh fruit and vegetables, and alkaline diets. Just saying, ignorance is not always bliss.

Colon cancer rates are entirely unrelated to the increase in sodomy with chemicals involved.

If you are pimping new world order propaganda.

I own/manage a small Farmers Market in my community. We are a co op and we sell locally grown fresh vegetables. Just today while my sweetheart and I were picking green beans to replenish our supply for the market we were talking about the gardens we worked while we were kids. We were kids working outside in the sunshine picking vegetables and eating our fill of the raw goodies. Nowadays kids are indoors playing video games eating processed foods laden with chemicals/pesticides, etc. This article reminded me of our conversation and the fact that kids consume a lot of things that aren’t good for them.

Some of it could be that now we have in vitro fertilizations and drugs that keep women from miscarrying.

It could well be that people are having babies that nature would have spontaneously aborted because there was a defect, possibly cancer genes, extreme allergies, congenital heart disease and other genetic diseases.

You are right and yet as our lifestyle has become more sedentary with more processed foods our life expectancy has gone up and up. Perhaps this is the end of it, we are coming to a tipping point and it will begin to decline. But so far I see many reports of imminent doom and yet we continue to live longer than ever.

I think that the increased longevity you mention is not so much the result of better overall health as it is the result of being able to keep sicker people alive longer.

My wife was at a car race in Minnesota a few weeks ago. The mosquitoes were awful.

Then a “crop duster” flies over at about 150 feet and sprays right over the track and crowd. She was stunned.

We had an acquaintance with stage four breast cancer refuse treatment and, instead, do the Gerson juice method. She’s been cancer free now for six years. But she’s no longer the only case in our circle of acquaintences.

Turns out there are a LOT of natural things you can do to actually cure cancer, and the number of documented cases is becoming legion. It’s no longer a “quack in Mexico” thing. It is looking more and more like the US, with it’s laws against “approved” methods, is where it is not a good idea to get cancer. We’re being protected to death by people that see the citizenry as nothing more than a cash machine.

My father in law is a poster child for that comment. He’s also a poster child for why we are in a health care cost crisis. He’s now in his late 80’s, thanks to four or five visits to the emergency room and a hospital bed for a few days. And at least one surgery a year.

The country is keeping its old and infirm alive almost indefinitely and bankrupting itself doing it. The sad thing is that his body is completely breaking down - but his’s staying alive - and he just feels like a burden on everyone. He really WANTS to die, but it looks like they can just keep fixing or replacing parts to keep his body running indefinitely.

This has been going on for at least five years.
