Speaking broadly and realistically, I'd say 40%--60% of all
cancers NOWADAYS are triggered/caused by smoking. Lung cancer
alone accounts for appx. 60%--70% of those cancers. The "GOOD
NEWS" here is that, since the 1950's/1960's, the percentage of the
American population who smoke HAS DECLINED MARKEDLY from
a high of appx. 44%--46% to appx. 18%--19% today! WOW!
Another 20-25% are comprised of genetically flawed (in some subtle
way(s)) people who are/who become (due to dietary/lifestyle choices,
patterns, and habits...AND their bad genetic "luck") vulnerable and
susceptible to tumor inception, growth, metastasis (depending upon
when caught/diagnosed). Breast cancer alone accounts for at least
40%--50% of these cancers. Colon cancer another 20%--30%.
(This next grouping is blatantly speculative on my part.) Another
groups' tumors are triggered/caused by diet/obesity AND/OR excessive
life-time alcohol consumption. THAT group, whose types and locations
of cancers are quite varied, comprises another 15%--20%.
THAT leaves perhaps (depending upon one's moral/ethical values and
judgmental temperament) the most woebegone and unfortunate lot, those
who develop cancers of all types and locations FOR NO READILY OBVIOUS
OR EVIDENT REASON AT ALL. Just the luck-of-the-draw, I suppose.
People age...and People die. (YEEPS!) THAT group comprises
appx. 10%--15% of all cancers.
Just rambling here today.
Things are looking better and stronger than ever for TLFX, IMO.
