Study after study after study says diet and lifestyle are major factors in every deadly disease. But it's not socially acceptable to suggest that as an approach.

However, having already committed the unspeakable sin and egregious faux pas, I will suggest that if cancer is a thing you fret about, you can do something to reduce your risk starting today.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If we can avoid destroying ourselves, we will achieve it.

Maybe the notion that we can live for an extended period of time will motivate more people to become ecologically responsible.

I wish.

Diet and exercise are near-universally accepted as reasonable health advice and is basically ubiquitous.

I mean, I do, and people should but there’s no denying there’s still a huge element of chance though. Plenty of people have fantastic diet and exercise a lot and still get cancer… And environmental effects that may be outside people’s control. Anyone might have already been exposed with absolutely no knowledge to, say, asbestos fibres that will give them mesothelioma in another 20 years. And there’s no way (currently known) to stop it even if they did know they’d been exposed.

I'm aware of that.

It doesn't matter. You can't have a meaty discussion about this in relation to actually trying in earnest to avoid or delay cancer.

For the record, this was posted as a PSA without replying to any of the comments that made me think people could use a reminder because a direct reply gets interpreted as a personal attack.

Yeah, there's a lot of variables. So no point in even trying. Amirite?

Good for you. Want to share any good websites you have for how to support your goal here?

If I'm eating PFAS, I'd like to know.

Plenty of “healthy” people die of cancer. My sister in law passed away at 49. She had no family history of cancer, ate healthy, ran daily, was not overweight for her entire life.
