Nixon launched the "war on cancer" in 1971
46 years later, the results aren't looking so good. More cancer than ever. More deaths than ever. Lifestyles worse than ever. Obesity worse than ever.
Cancer soon to surpass heart disease as #1 cause of death.
Why?
I appreciate optimism, but we can't get ahead of ourselves, thinking "early detection" will solve everything.
It won't. It will help, for sure, but so many factors go into cancer (mostly lifestyle), optimism should be moderate.
Best,
Joe
