I see cancer patients every day....cancer rates are not abating Cancer is mainly caused by the modern diet of processed wheat flour and sugar. You might want to consider a paleo-diet of composed of natural unprocessed foods such as fish, eggs, meat and vegetables.

GWB hasn't been the President for years. If the air quality is poor, and people are dying of cancer because of it, blame Obama who had a super majority for two years for doing nothing about it. Obama spent more time and effort keeping Gitmo opened, sending drones and the NSA to spy on Americans, and expanding the war effort in Afghanistan while bombing the hell out of Libya to worry about air or water quality.

you should be more concerned with environmental issues such as carcinogens in our air and water....I see cancer patients every day....cancer rates are not abating.If left to corporate America they would sacrifice the environment in the quest for profits....those policies of yours (lack of regulations,SEC without teeth) under GWB resulted in big debt and economic debacle. I am concerned with the environment. The regulatory burden has been increasing on business without always a commiserate benefit. You seem to put a LOT of faith in the government and have a distrust of business. Everything that is bad about corporate America is magnified and worse in the government. Business at leats has a profit motive.

.cancer rates are not abating I am surprised that you, a Doctor, would post this kind of misinformation. "Cancer Death Rate Is Going Down in U.S. Researchers Say Lower Death Rate Is Due to Advances in Prevention and Treatment By Bill Hendrick WebMD Health News Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD us_cancer_deaths_declining_1.jpg Aug. 13, 2009 -- Death rates from cancer have been decreasing in all age groups in recent years, but the steepest declines have been among younger people, a new study shows. The findings suggest that measures for prevention, screening, and treatment are leading to lower death rates, researchers report in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. "Our efforts against cancer, including prevention, early detection and better treatment, have resulted in profound gains, but these gains are often unappreciated by the public due to the way the data are usually reported," says Eric Kort, MD, who finished the study while working at the Van Andel Research Institute in Grand Rapids, Mich. Kort and colleagues analyzed mortality data from 1955 to 2004 reported by the National Center for Health Statistics and yearly U.S. population estimates. The researchers write that previous reports of cancer mortality rates emphasized what's happening among older people, hiding shifts in deaths caused by the disease in younger groups. "Age specific cancer mortality rates have been steadily declining in the United States since the early 1950s, beginning with children and young adults and now including all age groups," the researchers write. In the second half of the 20th century, each successive decade of births from 1925 to 1995 had a lower risk of cancer death than its predecessor, suggesting that earlier detection, prevention, and treatment programs have been effective. The youngest age groups experienced the steepest average rate of decline at 25.9% per decade, the researchers say. But even the oldest groups recorded a 6.8% decline per decade" webmd.com
