Everything. As It Happens.
cheery for the Wednesday morning. Lots of cancer and diabeetus. Enjoy it while you can, pals, you only get one go.
Unless you’re the poor green fkr knocked out by diarrhoea.
An ugly way to kick the bucket.
That reminds me of what my grandfather said just before he kicked the bucket-
“Watch how far I can kick this!”
The good news is that if cars were largely replaced by bicycles and diesel was banned from cities and sugar was heavily taxed, a good chunk of these diseases would virtually disappear – the lung ones and diabetes.
Pretty
Interesting that Australia has a significantly higher life expectancy than Europe & are expecting a larger increase also.
Greater exercise I imagine
Having a billion things that can kill you must keep you on your toes
Also – are there any (sane, scientific) theories as to why cancer is increasing, by the way?
Maybe prostate cancer just increases with life expectancy and hence old age for men.
For the others, there’s some indication it’s to do with increases in alcohol consumption and historical increases in smoking during the 70s/80s. Have a look: http://scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org/2015/02/04/why-are-cancer-rates-increasing/
People get old, people get cancer.
Death needs time for what it kills to grow in.
