Cancer is very much a self-inflicted medical condition because:....
Most of the commercially produced meat and vegetables is showered with antibiotics and pesticides, flooded with growth hormones and genetically modified to grow fast and these additive chemicals act just likewise to cancer cells (iirc, battery chickens are nowadays at commercial slaughter age by 4months old or less).

The animals are housed in deliberately cramped conditions both to maximize profit as well as to prevent them from exercising because exercise requires calories and thus retards fat gain and is a 'wastage' of feed calories since farmers want maximum fat/weight gain in the shortest possible time frame.

The lack of exercise for livestock means that natural toxins cannot be normally excreated and thus remains in the meat at time of slaughter.

This very unnatural and miserable kind of lifestyle amongst livestock induces depression and stress hormones. These depression/stress hormones will probably persist in the meat products even when they enter our stomachs.

There is ample pollution (micro plastics, heavy metals etc) in the water and air which is drunk/ inhaled as the case may be. When absorbed vz food, air/ water sources, this probably results in disseminated, persistent low grade inflammation which reduces immune function allowing cancers to grow without resistance due to a distracted/ weakened immune system.

Diabetes and other chronic diseases also weaken the immune system either by causing unnecessary and disruptive inflammation (e.g. hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol excess) or direct chemical / pressure damage to arteries resulting in a physically weakened state (as manifest by kidney failure, infections from gangrene of limbs , weak heart, strokes etc).

Lack of exercise also weakens the immune system since a certain duration of vigorous (moderate) exercise is necessary to increase the blood circulation and studies have shown that the increase in general blood circulation is necessary to mobilize certain lymphocytes (white blood cells) involved in cancer cell eradication as well as defence against infections. Lack of increased blood circulation only possible with the increase in heart rate during exercise may also hinder the removal/ excretion of cancer causing toxins/ waste products lodged in vessel walls just like a vigorous and violent stirring of water in a washing machine is necessary in order to make clothes clean.

Persistent stress also releases hormones also perhaps stunt the function of the immune system to conserve energy to channel to the flight or fight response. The lack of rest intervals between episodes of high stress means that cancers can grow undetected /obstructed by the weakened immune system until they reach advanced stage wherein treatment is difficult or even futile.
The lack of sleep meaning no opportunity for the immune system to recharge also has a similar outcome; as does obesity associated obstructive sleep apnoea wherein sleep is interrupted by breathing difficulties resulting in repeated micro-awakenings culminating into poor sleep.

Lack of indigestable fibre in the diet, serving multi-roles as as a weight control supplement, laxative to promote fecal expulsion as well as an absorbent for carcinogens is probably another contributor to cancer; either via obesity related health problems or even avoidable mental stress from diverticulosis due to chronic constipation.

It is thus due to poor lifestyle choices especially uncontrolled stress levels, lack of exercise / sedentary lifestyles, excessive %body fat, lack of environmentalism, etc that are a common cause of cancer in sufferers.

Cancer is thus very much a self-inflicted medical condition....

I mean family with cancer background is one person out of two in the family will get it. That is 50 percent. If you search further you will get this info and it also happened to a family I know. Father died of cancer and 2 daughters also died of cancer leaving behind a brother only.... :col2

I wrote the following article based on sketchy statistics from MOH. Not 100% precise (because MOH is scarce with statistics) but not too far from the truth I think.

Singaporean lifestyle is very much cancer causing and at least 50% (or much more) of Singaporeans will be diagnosed with cancer at least 1x in lifetime.

The example of multiple cancers happening in same family is tragic, but pretty much common place in Singapore due to the stressful, sedentary, unhealthy Singaporean lifestyle.

Lifetime risk of CANCER for Singaporeans likely far exceeds 50%.

According to MOH statistics, 37% of Singaporean deaths are recorded as due to cancer. However, this must be only the tip of the iceberg in terms of sufferers for 2 big reasons: Firstly, some cancer related deaths are conveniently recorded as 'pneumonia' because 'pneumonia' is the most proximate cause of death. Secondly, many cancers at early stage are 'curable' with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy, albeit with lifelong scarring and side effects (some cancers are incurable, but cancer suppressing immunotherapy costing SGD20,000/mth can be used to prolong(/extend) a patient's life).

Another approx 1/3 officially die from vascular disease related to bad lifestyle and mainly stress (heart failure, diabetes, stroke, renal failure); again tip of the iceberg because many drag on and are eventually pronounced dead from pneumonia (like Lee Kuan Yew who was warded in SGH ICU on ventilator for pneumonia for at least 2 weeks till dead)... but we all know that vast majority getting pneumonia are already sufferers of pre-existing cancer and vascular disease (like LKY who couldn't stand unsupported during NDP due to his nerve problems and diminished strength due to sedentary lifestyle and tobacco smoking during his younger days)... since 'pneumonia' is primary cause of death is recorded, many cancers and other preventable vascular causes are omitted from mortality statistics due to requirements to publish only the most proximate cause of death as reported (thus the large number of deaths meaninglessly classified and reported as 'pneumonia' in national mortality statistics).

Thus, while on the outside, looks like Singaporeans are healthy and the economy is functioning well, actually below the surface reveals untold suffering as majority of Singaporeans needlessly suffer and die from entirely avoidable and preventable cancers and chronic disease ... All caused by stressful and unhealthy lifestyle that P@p imposed due to undemocratic, authoritarian and class based control that the P@p copied/ continued from the old Colonial British government:
