   	Because so many folks are not dying young enough to escape   
   cancer.  The longer we live the more likely it is that something   
   will cause cancer.   
      
   	And lots of stuff that causes cancer is released by   
   industrial products and processes aside from the nuclear   
   trash from the atmospheric testing in the mid-20th Century.   
   But if men live long enough prostate cancer is almost   
   certainly an eventuality.  In the natural world there are   
   carcinogens as well such as the root from which sarsaparilla   
   was flavored.   
   	In our original natural world likely people died   
   young of skin cancer as life expectancy of about 40 years   
     precluded living long enough to be exposed to other   
   carcinogens and the effects of excessive testosterone   
   exposure.
