cancer

OK here's my beef -
There's a lot of things that are shown in studies to cause cancer. And, while some of those studies conflict, or may someday prove inaccurate, why do we ignore them? Why do we personally, and why do our health organizations, ignore this important info? Here's what we seem to know:

- processed foods and oils, such as partially hydrogenated soybean oil, cause cancer. Too bad partially hydrogenated soybean oil is in EVERYTHING, and there's been no movement to remove it. People are more concerned with removing carbs, which in moderation, are perfectly healthy little boogers.

-microwaving shit in plastic causes cancer. Yet TV dinners continue to be packaged in plastic, and covered in plastic wrap.

-living in areas with a lot of pollution causes cancer. Yet pollution is considered an environmental issue, not a health issue.

-genetics is a big factor. Not sure what we can do about that.

And I'm sure we know a lot more. My question is, why do we pour money into further cancer research, but not into steps to rectify the problems we've found so far? I'm all for research, but if we're gonna read the findings, and sit on our hands, those hardworking researchers might as well be developing more comfortable hospital beds, as we're gonna need them.
