    That’s sound reasoning, but refuted by the fact that cancer cases are inexplicably rising in young people. Specifically along the digestive tract; esophagus, stomach, rectum, and colon cancers.

    I’m sure that all-cause death being generally lower factors into it, but it doesn’t explain why younger people are getting cancer at rates almost double what they were just 25 years ago

      Excellent point. I’ll be interested to see epidemiological studies confirming how much of that increase in young people is diet and the increase in obesity vs. environmental.
