1 in 3 get cancer ?? (srs)

[maynardjames]

lately i've been hearing this statistic.....is it true??
I know the question sounds really dumb but that's a huge number....

[Stapler]

its 3-in-1

[feelymcfeel]

It's usually said 1 in 3 are affected by cancer. Not sure if that means it counts if you only know someone who gets it and not you yourself.

[BiggerTommorow]

1 in 1 people die.

[maynardjames]

1 in 1 people die.

oh

[chlaxman]

Wouldn't surprise me. Just about everyone I know over 60 has/has had it. Very common as you get older.

thanks.......i wanna know more about it though

[MinusP]

1 in 1 people die.

that.

so even if its 1-3, 1-100... we will all die of something sometime, so stop worrying, its part of life. The way you go isnt as important as the fact that you will go.

[DontDisturb]

1 in 3 may get cancer but that doesn't mean cancer gets us

[brianphi]

I'd believe it, a large chunk of men get prostate cancer in their lifetime, but it's not such a big deal if caught early.

[SmallasFcuk]

Yeah I heard this too.. I also heard 1 in 3 people have a ******** (srs).

[BulmersOriginal]

thanks for the uplifting thread OP

[ScouseBatman]

Dont worry yourself about this s***

[portman616]

Yeah I heard this too.. I also heard 1 in 3 people have a ******** (srs).

1 in 3 people having ******** makes me sad

[DaCougarMech]

they might be inflating numbers with removal of benign cysts (no medo)

[Pakman52]

Cancer is a broad term, but yes it is likely you will get it. It is what kills most healthy people (bro science) when they get older. It is kind of inevitable and it is often curable if it is caught early.

cancer = a product of diet and stress.

but mainly diet. You guys are obtuse so I cant be ****ed explaining why, all I can say is don't believe the media and government in regards to "healthy lifestyles"

[Slie]

Bigger question is, what is the fatality rate due to cancer?

[maynardjames]

They also say that for athletes the no. is 1 in 7......
So keep excercising fellow bb.com members....

Athletes.....not the exercise, though it helps alot....its because they eat better foods.

Seriously explain.....i don't eat red meat......Eat organic eggs, organic fruit...... My dairy is unorganic though ...... Eat lot's of anti-oxidants etc.
Try to avoid ANYTHING linked to cancer......

[maynardjames]

good question.....it varies for the type of cancer etc.. but yeah don't know the exact no.

[maynardjames]

So ~100,000,000 get cancer?

Really hard to believe.

This.....i just can't conceieve it...... For example i know at least 10 people who got cancer but that's out of the hundreds and hundreds if not thousands of people i know.....
If i were to give a percentage to cancer victims, it would be around 5-10 %
Still sad and worrying but still...... my grand-dad and his brother died due to cancer though

anything refined.

bread, pasta, rice, chips candy, biscuits......anything that is mass produced and refined is going to fuk you up. simple as that, its a shame that this is what the majority of people eat and its fed through dietary guidelines that "carbs" should make up the largest % of your diet, it couldnt be further from the truth. This is why in the last 50 years cancer has sky rocketed.....why? mass production and consumption of crap foods.

[gmenfan40]

You need to die of something. There's no such thing as dieing from "old age"....

This.

Eat healthy and organically, be moderately active, and do things you love, relaxing things.

Odd that radiation causes cancer yet we use radiation to treat it eh?

I wouldn't really claim it has skyrocketed. It's just with the advancement of technology and science, we actually know the causes of death today. Compared to "50 years ago" people just claimed it was from old age...

thanks and repped..... please help me out here though..... i eat bread made out of ground whole wheat flour....no pasta..... rice is whole wheat but trying to avoid it.....fast-food stuff none at all.......
not even eating flax-seed because they have linked to prostate cancer....

What about cereal though..... i drink lactaid (milk for lactose intolerant people).......

How do you avoid some of this stuff..... for example do you eat organic farm-produced milk?? where do you get it??
