Default cancer in Cheshire?
I was doing some research on Cheshire and came across a web site that points to Cheshire being a cancer pocket. It looks like the most relevant data only goes up to 2004. Anyone know about this?

I live in Cheshire. One theory is that Cheshire folks are way more likely to have regular (preventive) doctor visits which, in turn, diagnose all health conditions. Since we don't have any real industry here, our numbers shouldn't be any higher than our neighbors' percentages.

In the late 30's there was a large farm in the Mixville area, the planes would empty pesticides and chemcials on the farm.Also chicken feed, would empty into the pond, which is why it is a toxic dump today. An outstanding amount of people that live in the Mixville area have gotten cancer. Cheshire was a large farm industry in the 1900's. So I do believe that it is all over Cheshire. I dont think that we have more or less than other towns but I do believe that this is a fact of how residents are getting it today and yesterday.
