I firmly believe that the lack of vitamins in our diets is why cancer is such an issue for so many.

I respect your theory. My theory on the cause of cancer is that it is a very complex issue. I think that the cause probably includes a latent virus, left from some battled and won childhood disease, oxidants in the environment that disarm our immune system, a genetic predisposition to a disease, again complicated, and exposure to known carcinogens and unknown carcinogens. Also just bad cussed luck.
I have had four aunts, a sister and a daughter with breast cancer but all of our cancer is not the form that is known as genetic. Go figure. Our daughter fell into the uncommon pre menopausal type and I of course fell into the post menopausal type. The good news is that it hasn't finished us off. ANY of us. Please get your mammograms or encourage the women you love to get them.
