if they all live to 60, then it is less, at 2%, I think.


I think the US population is around 400million....last time I checked.

after googling the population 319million....average life expectancy=78.74years

so chance of bowel cancer=3.5%..?

I have been reading a lot of online reactions and it seems like most (!) people are saying that you have to die of something so they will carry on eating processed meat in moderation. It is summed up quite well here. Joy of bacon sandwich overrides cancer risk, says everyone

Re the mice testing, I was recently listening to a podcast and an oncologist was talking about using mice for testing and she was saying that she thought the mice model of animal testing should be retired from use as it is so primitive and the results are worthless.
