Even that takes time. Unless there is a major carcinogen exposure, there's a reason most cancer patients are much older.
Well, that's why they're finding genetic links to almost ALL types of cancer. For women one of the biggest predictors of Breast cancer is just to have a family member (mother, grandmother) who had breast cancer. sucks huh

People have to realize what a fine line we're walking, ESPECIALLY when nearly every cell in your body is being replaced constantly, there's no wonder that every now again there's a malfunction in the machinary, especially when we add our own insults ie CARCINOGENS.
And I hate to sound like a prick, but there's two word people need to pay attention to when they're trying to avoid cancer....ANTIOXIDANTS and CARCINOGENS.
It's funny that whenever I tell a friend, "that's carcinogenic" they'll shrug it off with something like "everything's carcinogenic!" or "we all gotta die sometime." But the truth is, a lot of common things really are. If you eat deli meats (sandwich meats), barbequed meats (burnt), smoke, eat PEANUT BUTTER (and any packaged foods for that matter that have Hydrogenated oils) you're increasing your risk for cancers...and thanks to all of the SDA Health studies coming out, they're finding direct correlations with meat consumption and colon cancer

How many times can you warn someone before they say "why me?"
On a side note, I really have to tip my hat to pro bodybuilders, to play with those hormones like a kid with his dad's gun....wow, gambling men for sure!
