I'll agree with one of your statements that "cancer is a unique form of life". As for the rest, I dunno. My own personal belief, formed through my own experiences with friends and relations that have had cancer, is that cancer is just a VERY random thing...if it's in the cards for ya you'll get it, if it's not, you won't. We all know of people who've smoked like chimneys and/or drank like fish and lived long natural lives and died of old age. And by the same token, for me anyway, I know of lots of people who DIDN'T smoke or drink who died of cancer. From what I've seen, cancer seems to be more hereditary than anything else. Far as the heavy drinkin' killing brain cells go, I recently read a new study on the subject that showed it doesn't actually kill them. It DOES affect them in a manner that results in memory loss and other symptoms, but it doesn't actually kill them...it went on to say that a long-term drinker who had been affected by this condition and then quit drinking would eventually regain the memory capabilities and other capabilities that had been affected by the heavy alchohol intake. As for the "don't eat this, don't eat that"....I say hogwash. My grandad's 95 and still going strong and has eaten that stuff all his life. Granted, he doesn't smoke and seldom ever drank....who knows...I think it just goes back to my theory that it's all just random.
