One more step beyond what many have asked be studied. Find some part 
of the world, and yes, even in the USA, where there is an isolated 
population, where there are no factories, no nuclear plants, no 
contaminants from any pollutants, milk not produced in any area where 
a pollutant can be found, and use them as a Control Group. You might 
be interested in the types of illnesses they have, and, the fact that 
there are clusters within these groups as well.

Are you also aware that in the USA, the current cancer incidence rate 
is now 1:2? That means that if you had a group assembled, in any part 
of the USA, half of the people in that room will contract a form of 
cancer. Therefore, when you look at cancer incidence statistics, 
don't jump to the conclusion that it has to be the plant down the 
road, the farm up the stream, the factory next door, the car mechanic 
down the street who uses some cancer causing agent .. it might just 
be statistics. Half of you reading this post will contract cancer in 
your lifetime. Perhaps it's the CRT, the keyboard, or perhaps our own 
"cancer causing words" that are the root cause! Just a thought. Stop 
the speculation .. do the proper scientific studies .. learn the 
truth as best can be determined .. and then act. Not the other way 
around.
