"Global rates of cancer could rise 50 percent to 15 million new cases a year by 2020"
Epidemiologically, Cancer is God's way of tellng you that your society is medically advanced, and that you are living long enough to enjoy the old-age diseases of the advanced world.
I don't know about medical advancement. I do know that of any other disease, cancer is the most common and widespread. I don't know anyone that is HIV positive, or SARS infected, or sick with the "bird flu".
I have had friends and family die from cancer. Am I worried about it affecting me? It seems no matter what one does, they'll still be succeptable to the disease. So, I say: "No worries, enjoy life while you've got it! I'll eat what I want, drink what I want, and be merry when I want."
The WHO would like to make everyone cower before them, scared of what the future holds. It seems they get their methods right out of a liberal's plan book. GRRRR....
