Hi Don Wiss,

Yes, a diet of charred meat, refined sugar, white flour,
powdered eggs, vegetable oils, processed milk, chemicals,
pesticides, additives, and toxic pollution correlates to
cancer. Correlation isn't causality. Wearing sunglasses
doesn't cause skin cancer.

I thought modern hunter-gatherers were immune to cancer
and other degenerative diseases (though not infectious
diseases). Blaming one cause involves reductionism. If
we believe raw-foodists, both the fat AND protein turn
into toxins when cooked. More reductionism.
