You aren't far wrong. Basically doing anything increases the chances of Cancer and that includes eating, drinking breathing etc.

If you ignore Switzerland. Or Iceland. Or Spain. Or Andorra.
Also: Daily Mail. Everything either causes or cures cancer. Quite often the doing both in the same edition.

Where meat and cheese is also eaten in large quantities. 
In fact I was particularly thinking about the South West French, who have a very rich and fatty diet, and yet a higher than national average for life expectancy.

The main cause of cancer is to be alive, there are no known cases of dead people getting cancer. The logic is impeccable.

What they actually said is slightly different.

Ah, highest life expectancy in Europe.
The average French guy actually drags the national average down further than quite a lot of other European countries. The average French woman, on the other hand, does have one of the better life expectancies.

When you realize how many hormones and chemicals are in the food you eat, you don't need science or anyone else to tell you it can cause cancer. Common sense should be enough.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Not in Europe there aren't. Our meat is hormone free and we eat organic veg.
Anyway, its BS science, clearly, there is no correlation between eating cheese and cancer. Its just plain junk science.

I believe they are allowed to still use some chemicals but you are right, Europe definitely does a better job than the US in blocking harmful chemicals from the food.

Not true. When there are steroids in the cheese, then yes, it can cause cancer.

Actually there is a 6-8% amount of hormones allowed in the meat if I am not wrong.
I read it in the local newspapers and if you trust them its true.(I don't)
Anyway to die old is a curse itself we should enjoy the life while we have it (and the war hasen't started yet) and screw the cancer.

Quite a bit, if not most, of dietary science isn't science; it's people trying to prove their pet theories using weak correlations.

Why can't both be right? That just means that the life expectancy of the average French-person should be 120 years.
