1. Most cancers are caused by purely random mutations in our genome. Even if you lived in a 100% carcinogene free environment (including no sun), you would suffer most cancers just as much.
2. The cancer death rate has fallen 27% from its peak in 1991 - apparently the environment is getting better for us if anything (again it has almost nothing to do with it IMO, but following your logic...)
3. Weed killers have as much to do with human cancer as the natural radioctivity in the food we eat, if that
4. All cancer treaments are carcinogenic... should we stop them?

If you really think those things are true, you are pretty delusional..we've poisoned our air, our water, or ground, and, of you think the carcinogenic materials that are every where around us, arent increasing the incidence of cancer,. you really need to do more research..

I know because I'm from Germany. So many people believe just the same way. It's really miserable. I'm glad I left the self-defeating, miserable eco-sect behind. Boy, was it a miserable company. You should move there, nowehere else will you find as many like-minded sectarians. In the 1980s there was this big mass hysteria that all forests would die off within a few years ("Waldsterben"). Every decade something else comes up and it never stops. Once reality refutes something, they make up something else. You will love it.
