I had formed the opinion before seeing forks over knives that cancer is a diet related disease, in western populations we have cancer rates of around 10,000 per 100,000 but in countries where they use a plant based diet (very little meat and dairy) the rate gets as low as 6 people per 100,000. I am trying to spread the word without coming off as preachy. I think I will build a website or something......
but in a western world you have more chance of being diagnosed. in a third world country whats the chance that they find it? and how many would die from cancer but not know it.

much like my nanna telling me in the 50's there was a very low cancer rate. i think they didint know what to look for
