If you live long enough you will eventually die of cancer. It's inevitable.
Do the oldest people predominantly die of cancer?

#62There are scientists who argue that what the mitochondria does is fundamentally cancerigenic on a long enough timeline, so in a sense, yes, everything we eat is associated with cancer. https://www.nature.com/articles/cr2017155
Metabolism is a process with chemical and energetic exhaust that can damage machinery critical to cellular processes. And at some point it becomes evolutionarily favorable to just accept that damage and expend effort starting over again (offspring) as opposed to attempting complete repair of all the damaged systems. In that way, all metabolic processes will logically lead to cancer (damage to dna). The world is on fi…

Worth noting is that they never say meat _prevents_ cancer: https://kill-or-cure.herokuapp.com/a-z/m just as they never say vegetables _cause_ cancer: https://kill-or-cure.herokuapp.com/a-z/v (amusingly though some individual plant foods have been listed to cause cancer).
Epidemiology is the amusing intersection of science and ideology.

HN software has no such flagging mechanism.
