So why do kids get cancer then? What have they done in their short existence to get that? What did there mother do during gestation to prevent cancer? I think we can both agree it's somewhat of a gamble in life.

My cousin died of luekemia last year she was 23, her uncle died from the same when he was 25. I would say there is a direct link to genetics. I believe all that prevention that everyone is claiming is just a bunch of hogwash

I definitely agree that there is a link to genetics. I've had two cousins die of cancer, one survive and one is currently undergoing treatment. I've lost two grandparents to it, an aunt and one aunt survive it. You don't need to convice me that there is a genetic link. You really don't. But whose to say what started this genetic link? Was a great-grandparent exposed to harmful pesticides? Was a distant relative exposed to massive amounts of radiation? Did someone way back in my family tree work closely with carcinogenic solvents? Yes, cancer runs in my family. But I can't say with any certainty why that's the case. It may be due to a PREVENTABLE environmental factor in the past.

But like I said above, simply look at the correlation between mouth cancer rates in those who chew tobacco. You can't deny that certain behaviours and environmental risks greatly increase your chances of getting cancer. There are life choices you can make to move the odds more in your favor. I can't see any way you can deny this.
