Oil' Causes cancer, says so on the label. ALL cars leak oil. Oil winds up in the street. What happens when it rains/ Most dangerous time to drive. Oil rises out of the cracks to the surface where it floats on top of the rain. Tires drive over it and vaporize it. Crack the window of your car to get some fresh air because the windows have fogged up or it's muggy. Guess what, you are now breathing oil. You know, that funny smell when it rains? There ya go!!
Is it any wonder why rural areas have higher cancer rates?

I have thought about this for a long time now, and how everything seems to cause cancer.
Cancer diagnoses are up from what they were "back in the day" thats for sure. I'm just trying to figure out the reasons why. I know we use a ton of cancer causing chemicals now-a-days, and that might be the reason why. But we've also identified some things as carcinogins and have subsequently educated the public. (U.V. rays and Asbestos come to mind)
Are we getting cancer more often than we used to? Or are we learning more about Cancer, and becoming exponentially more effective and properly diagnosing it?
food for thought really.
