A study of ancient bodies has determined that cancer is a man-made disease, one

fueled by the excesses. Tumors turn out to be extremely rare until very recent

times, when pollution and poor diet became issues.

Researchers analyzed potential references to the disease in classical

literature, and also searched for signs in the fossil record and in mummified

bodies. But despite examining tissue from hundreds of Egyptian mummies, they

confirmed only one case of cancer

According to the Daily Mail:

" Dismissing the argument that the ancient Egyptians didn't live long enough to

develop cancer, the researchers pointed out that other age-related disease such

as hardening of the arteries and brittle bones did occur ...

Fossil evidence of cancer is also sparse, with scientific literature providing a

few dozen, mostly disputed, examples in animal fossil

Dr. Mercola Comments:

According to the latest statistics compiled by the American Heart Association,

cancer surpasses heart disease as the top killer among Americans between the

ages of 45 to 74. The odds are very high that you or someone you know has cancer

or has died from it.Cancer rates for various types of cancer are on the rise,

and environmental/lifestyle factors are increasingly being pinpointed as the

culprits, such as:

•Pesticide- and other chemical exposures

•Pharmaceutical drugs

•Processed and artificial foods (plus the chemicals in the packaging)

•Wireless technologies, dirty electricity, and medical diagnostic radiation

exposure

•Obesity, stress, and poor sleeping habits

•Lack of sunshine exposure and use of sunscreens

This not an all-inclusive list, of course, but as the research into the health

of our ancient ancestors shows, cancer is not a " natural " disease, and genetics

are not a primary factor.
