The best information I have found to date is here:

http://cancercontrolplanet.cancer.gov/atlas/timeall.jsp?c=ACC&o=g&wm=true&wf=true&bm=true&bf=true&fc=timeall&chart=timeall&ac=1&ss=US

this gives you a database of cancer rates per 100,000 person years, from 1950 - 1994. This data does NOT support the contention that cancer rates have moved from 1 in 5 to 1 in 2 since 1950. Indeed, it indicates a gradually increasing rate over time, probably tracking the increase in longevity (haven’t confirmed that suspicion yet).

I am yet more convinced that attributing an increase in cancer risk to GE crops is malicious at worst, and deliberate ignorance of facts at best.

Thanks, great resource to have. I have it bookmarked.

I’m alway hearing about how the whole country is dying of cancer, it’s good to have something like this.
