You sound like an idiot, especial...Dear Anonymous,<br /><br />You sound like an idiot, especially with your use of capitol letters and exclamation marks. And don't get me started on your asinine ramblings about natural selection. You are obviously a charlatan who knows absolutely nothing about cancer and its causes(or science for that matter), and have completely missed the point of Dr Dingles message. You say cancer is mostly heredity, but in fact 90-95% of cancers are caused by environmental factors, and 5-10% caused by genetic predisposition. Yes, cancer is a disease of age, and yes, it can certainly still occur to someone living in a "bubble" as you say. But would their chances increase if they were a smoker for example? of course it would. What Dr Dingle is saying is that there are many factors such as diet and lifestyle that can increase your probability of getting cancer, and he is giving us advice on how to reduce the risk. I'll repeat that again, risk. <br /><br />The funny thing is you accuse Dr Dingle of being narrow-minded and too black and white, yet the comments you've made fit those descriptions better than ever. Therefore, that makes you quite the hypocrite. Forgive me for falling back on stereotypes, but upon reading your statements I can't help but picture you as an uneducated, gun-toting fool, spitting tobacco and dragging your knuckles around whilst wearing a truckers cap that has the confederate flag printed on it. <br /><br />You sir or mam are an imbecile, and I cannot believe I have bothered to waste my time writing a reply to your absurd drivel.Dr Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-309603339181535548.post-88366390604947000132010-04-27T08:13:49.184-07:002010-04-27T08:13:49.184-07:00I think you take a very NARROW-MINDED view of the ...I think you take a very NARROW-MINDED view of the causes of cancer. The truth is that NOBODY knows enough about what causes cancer but I would argue that GENETIC FACTORS FAR OUTWEIGH ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS.<br /><br />Cancer is hereditary. There are numerous examples of this (ex. breast cancer). There is no need to give in to rampant chemo-phobia and blame chemicals when we know that many people are quite simply BORN WITH CANCER CAUSING GENES.<br /><br />Human beings do not respect natural selection. If a family has a high incidence of cancer, they do not stop breeding. If a couple cannot conceive naturally (perhaps a message that they will not produce viable offspring?), they will get hormone treatments, IVF, etc. If infants are born with cancer, we do everything we can to keep them alive and encourage them to breed (if they live that long). I am not an advocate of selective breeding, however, I cannot ignore the fact that we do nothing to curb the spread of known genetic illnesses - thus increasing the incidence of those diseases. We don't have to blame "chemicals" we can just look in the mirror if we want something/one to blame!!!<br /><br />Cancer is simply a problem with cell replication. The reason why cancer is more common in the elderly is because the process of cell replication wears down. It becomes less perfect. It makes mistakes. Like photocopying a photocopy trillions of times - the DNA gets less clear (telomeres shrinking etc...). Chemicals and outside factors may influence this but I believe that cancer could occur naturally if a person were to grow in a perfect bubble that filtered out all know chemical carcinogens!!!<br /><br />That is not to say that your tips for a healthy, non-inflammatory lifestyle does not have merit. Of course it does. I just think you overemphasize its importance and cause and effect relationship to cancer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
