Anti-Aging Perspective:

According to World Health Organization, the cancer rate will continue to go up, surpassing cardiovascular disease as the number one cause of death. The numbers are indeed scary, but real. Chances are 1 in 3 adults will die of cancer. Just because there are no clinical signs of detectable cancer does not mean that cancer does not exist in the body. It means that our diagnostic test is simply not sensitive enough to pick it up.
We know from molecular medicine that our cells are bombarded by free radicals every day. Poor diet, stress and environmental pollution contribute to this. Mitochondrial dysfunction is rampant by age 40, and cellular mutation that can lead to cancer should be accepted as a norm rather than exception.

Those interested in anti-aging must take a pro-active lifestyle in cancer prevention through supplementing with high levels of antioxidants (from diets rich in fruits and vegetables as well as nutritional supplements), stress reduction, and exercise. Doing any less is an invitation to cancer.

Regardless of the statistical chances of getting cancer, once a person has cancer, life will never be the same. Act smart and act now. While pursuing an anti-aging and anti-cancer lifestyle does not guarantee that cancer will not occur, it is the best alternative we have today given our technology.
