Ah, this dear sect of pseudo science and its mania to truncate, distort, the reality of the facts to satisfy the ego of its readers.
For example:
The three main causes of the increase in the number of cancers cited by the WHO are the increase in the world population, the increase in life expectancy and the spread of smoking in developing countries.False reasons.
In fact, it is not possible to compare, globally, societies as disparate as highly developed countries (and its pollutants) and so-called developing societies where the same pathologies gradually appear as other countries, which really allows valid comparisons
Then the increase in life expectancy AT BIRTH only shows a significant drop in infant mortality (already seen). But there, indeed, the cancers which hardly affected small children exploded. But it is still necessary to have elements of comparisons between the various layers of populations and their way of life in the same country and even of regions.
Finally, if it is true that the spread of smoking worldwide is an indisputable fact. Again this is extremely disparate because without comparing, for example, the consumption, Western, of tobacco which will be maximum in large cities and minimum in the rest of a territory, that means nothing.
Another example :
"From cancer plan to cancer plan, we are predicted for a better future, while far from receding the scourge persists and even increases".
The keystone of Dominique Belpomme's alarmist speech, this assertion does not hold water. Here is what can be read on the website of the French Institute for Public Health Surveillance (INVS). In France, "the number of new cases of cancer increased considerably between 1980 and 2012 in men and women (+ 107,6% and + 111,4% respectively)", but "this increase is explained by largely by the increase in the population, which mechanically increases the number of cases, and by its aging, the majority of cases occurring in the elderly ”. More systematic screening also plays a role. "The risk of dying", meanwhile, "decreased significantly" between 1980 and 2012! The standardized mortality rate, adjusted for the effects of age and population increase, "decreased on average by 1,5% per year for men and by 1% for women over the period 1980 -2012 ". Epidemiologist and biostatistician, specialist in the study of the frequency and causes of cancer, Catherine hill provides an update on this issue in issue 316 of SPS (April 2016). Ms. Hill is right on this point. There are recognized cancer factors, without question
now after being denied, like tobacco and alcohol which by their importance and predominance hide the rest. And she insists on the multiplication of the factors which appear especially in the populations aging with accumulation (with other environmental factors) today minimized as were tobacco and alcohol, asbestos recently and vaccines and chemical drugs since the industrial era; it is a whole!
From 1980 to 2012, the population increased from 53 M to 63 M, i.e. 20% more, while cancers increased by more than 100%. The mechanical increase follows normally, without any particular external intervention, in the same proportions (but Belpomme precisely questions this exterior) and
most cases occur in the elderly it is a bad analysis precisely because it is only an effect whose origins are well in advance and whose cumulative effects are felt more particularly at the end of the journey and not because a more age class particular would be targeted.
