Yep. Happened to me.
No one in my family has had cancer. No genetic predisposition at all.

My oncologist had no explanation other than "Most of the time, people just get it."

Of course the fat guy is correct. We've all heard of marathon runners who drop dead, or otherwise fit people who get cancer.

It is possible for an overweight smoker to live a long life, and a health conscious person to die young. But a smart person wants to give himself the very best odds.

What's so negative about it..there is a lot of good insightful info there that one can take or leave. To say negative is very negative.

Oz is fraud, hack and does far more harm than good.

It's high time we stop making stupid people famous. He is a prime example of that.

Oh how judgemental..he helps a lot of people and the doctors in that article have some pretty decent credentials...better than most here. I've had plenty of harm from enough MD's..and not from the oz programming.

Since this has now become an argument between 2 people, the thread is no longer useful and is now closed.
