Thank you so much for this! I have been reading through the studies, have a question if the research was published in 2010 it couldn’t include the 911 data from 2001 right? That wouldn’t be 17 yrs. The Iraq war was 2003? Maybe it was the Vietnam war?
Do you believe that these studies are conducted by research institutions free from outside corprate influence? I just don’t trust that studies are neutral and not influenced by corporate pressure of some kind. You know data in data out kind of thing.
The fact that women are getting PANCAN younger means something.
Also how is it even possible to call obesity a “cause” of cancer. There are so many variables as to why someone becomes obese right? In terms of what they are eating. There’s possible lack of exercise, too much sugar, too much processed foods and too much alcohol/beer. Of course there are obese people who don’t get cancers.
The research focusing on alcohol, smoking and obesity as direct causes is very interesting, I would like to know the results and how the study is being conducted. Do members of the study group have to have all three factors?
Well thanks so much for all of this great information!

I am 64, diagnosed with pan can June 2023.
My aunt had pan can when she was 73-she never drank or smoked, pretty sure she didn't drink any kind of soda. My dad had pan can when he was 80. He was a fertilizer salesman for 30 years and sold Roundup. He was a heavy drinker, but did not smoke. My dad did not drink any kind of soda. He was diagnosed with diabetes before he was diagnosed with pan can. He was probably 50 pounds overweight. He was in the Korean war.
My mom ate the same thing we all as a family ate - she never drank or smoked-never had cancer -she had a heart attack at age 66, and died at 87 from heart failure.
I had genetic testing - nothing was found.
I have 5 brothers and sisters - my mom washed our clothes in the same washing machine she washed my dad's clothes. We grew up without sodas in the house. We ate a lot of red meat. We didn't have candy in the house, except for Christmas and Easter.
I've had a lot of stress in my job the last 6 years - walked up to 2 miles a day at work - have exercised moderately over the years. But was 20 pounds overweight at time of diagnosis. I've eaten a lot more sugar than my parents ever ate-I love sweets.
I drank diet soda in college and after college. Over the last 30 years I have probably had a diet soda or regular soda maybe once a month. I have never drank alcohol or smoked.
I am so far the only one of my siblings with pan can. My older brother had prostate cancer. My older sister died from lymphoma.
