pretty sleazy science here. No controlled study determining the levels of antibiotics or other cattle/pig/chicken risk factors, or feedlot practices/ or processing procedutes. . . . and c'mon, an 18% increased incidence does not justify a headline of "causation". It seems to be risk factor, but the exact reason for that increased risk is unevaluated. Alarmist idiots running the science asylum.
 
If we just eliminate colons and old age, cancer will drop by approximately 95%. Get to work society.

Henry E. Eyring, who presided over quite a lot of cancer research, said "If you don't die of something else first, you will die of cancer."

We are actually doing pretty good at eliminating a lot of other causes of death, something to consider when declaring our technology or modern diet is "causing cancer".
 
Yep. Can't wait for the AI world government managing the affairs of the immortal post-humans.

oughtta rep you for this, honesty and wit combined.

the reason I can wait well enough is because I realize AI, when it "crosses the line" into self-willed self-sufficient self-replicating jackbooted thugs, they will still be far inferior to even the ordinary politician in terms of the whole spectrum of human values essential to our civilization. . . .

materialism isn't all it's cracked up to me, my friend.

I guess we'll see. :)
 
It isn't possible to stop aging in mice currently... That would be an incredible breakthrough. Aging is not "programmed" into us through genetics. It is the result of accumulation of damage.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategies_for_Engineered_Negligible_Senescence

from that page:

I get what you're saying and am familiar with SENS but I think you're being overconfident(I don't even think the people @ SENS are that confident). That's their theory and strategy but it is by no means a forgone conclusion that they are right. I think what they are doing is important and exciting but I'm glad there are others investigating "programmed" aging theories too.

Here's a pretty decent breakdown of aging theories.
