According to the American Cancer Society, every year some 900 Americans -- 400 of them children and teens -- get osteosarcoma.

Always the same BS. The "FIVE FOLD INCREASE!" means that instead of being a two-in-a-million shot of being diagnosed with it, it might be ten-in-a-million.

Once a year, try to guess what the last digit of the closing DJII will be for each day of that week. That's your probability.

How can you even make a leap like that from something so rare. Sixty or so people getting bone cancer in a year is reason to stop putting fluoride in the water. If this dumbass got a PHD, we are all worthy of one.

Umm... I believe that's a one in ten chance. :-)
