> It's easy to blame diets and lifestyles because you don't have to be specific

It's extremely specific actually: obesity, smoked meat, red meat, alcohol, cigarettes, high sugar, low fibers, nitrites and a shit loads of additives that are banned in the EU but not in the US.

> Diet/exercise are the ultimate "fuck off" advice.

No, it's a every simple and actionable advice actually, you can reduce your chances of cancer by 50-75% by "diet and exercise"

> if reality disagrees with your hypothesis

It does not disagree with "my" hypothesis (which is the universal consensus btw)

> you can claim the victim didn't hold their lifestyle or diet right

It's your life, do as you please, you're a big boy, you'll be the only one paying the price ultimately. I don't exercise and eat clean because it makes me invincible, I do it because it makes me feel better, improve my odds at pretty much everything in life and increase my health span dramatically, even if I die of cancer next month I am already benefiting from my actions every single day.

> tobacco, diet, infection, obesity, and other factors contribute approximately 25–30%, 30–35%, 15–20%, 10–20%, and 10–15%, respectively, to the incidence of all cancer deaths in the USA
