Is cancer really a disease of the industrialised society or...

[Tinker]

...would most of us get it eventually if we lived long enough? Are there really isolated societies where it is unknown?

almost every woman shaves their armpits and uses deodorant. that's like saying people who drink water are at greater risk of cancer, because water is found in tumours.

'would most of us get it if we lived long enough?'.....well, my granny is 99+ and no cancer in sight, so I guess there's a genetic component involved, not just environment/society. She lives in Paris, eats whatever she pleases (ie not organic or particularly healthy) and her husband was a big time smoker (who died of pulmonary embolism, not surprisingly).

There you go, brother-bashing fodder

Doesnt explain why young children get cancer,
old age, does it?

The only people that might know the answer is a forensic anthropologist or such like.

Who knows if children who died at a young age a hundred years ago didnt die of malnutrition/flu/whatever but died of cancer instead?
