cereal: An examination of the recent cancer study.
Interesting. Basically, it shores up my theory that no one knows WTF is up, really.
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
For a second there, I forgot your DH's name isn't "D" and was laughing so hard and then got worried cause when did D lose his job???
Bwahahahaha!
Nope, the cold sharing is all between mother and son at this point. The husband thus far has avoided it.

I saw a show on the CBC a while ago Nora that talked about how so much advice we're given to prevent cancer is lifestyle based (blaming the victim), but other people think that it's environmental factors that are causing our increasing rates. [link]

I wonder if one contributing factor might not be that modern medicine saves so many people who once would have died of infectious diseases before cancer could get them.

I think that's definitely a factor. But Cancer rates have gone crazy. In the 1960's it was 1 in 10 would get cancer, now they think it's 1 in 3. We're not living that much longer.

I'm convinced there's a bias towards blaming the victim, in part because it gives the illusion that cancer is something we can control. Almost all of the studies linking foods and alcohol to cancer are self-reporting studies, which are treated as if no one ever lies, forgets or exaggerates. They don't include things that could be quite relevant, such as the fact that the respondent did all his drinking in a smoky bar.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Not in detail. But I made a new friend, and now have a place to crash next time I pass through Cincinnati.
Well, you could always crash at my place; however, my place doesn't come with the possibility of sexy sex. At least, not the kind you'd prefer.
