Most Common chemicals used in Pesticides?

Many cancer-causing chemicals, such as certain pesticides, are....(cont.)?

• Many cancer-causing chemicals, such as certain pesticides, are banned in the United States and other industrialized nations, but are still used heavily in developing nations. Why, then, do you think cancer rates are higher in the developed industrial nations?

• Answer:

  Thanks for asking. First of all, and probably the only correct answer, is that diagnosis of cancer is not documented in most undeveloped nations. Their health care is so bad, that cancer is missed, and not treated. Second, infectious disease kills many early in life in undeveloped countries. Third, you cannot trust statistics developed in those countries. Fourth, you cannot trust the spin doctors in the developed countries, either, as they have learned to present data in a manner that is conducive to grants and graft. If you want to really understand cancer statistics, look at the incidence of cancer in Menominee county, Michigan during the 1940's to the 1980's, and compare them to the rest of the country. You will discover that this was a cancer hotbed. Or was it? In actuality, these statistics are skewed. It seems that Menominee county physicians were among the very first in the country to institute a Cancer Board program, and actually collect the statistics. Lot's of factors may play into this apparent paradox.
