"It's related to becoming overweight, a lack of exercise, eating rich food and red and processed meats," he said.

The study was done by looking at records in the Florida Cancer Data System registry and comparing them to similar registries and other sources of information in Puerto Rico, Cuba and Mexico. Because of limits to available data, the study was unable to determine how long the foreign-born Hispanics had been living here.
World Health Organization studies for decades have said cancer rates are higher in industrialized countries, in part because their populations are usually older.
"In developed countries, the probability of being diagnosed with cancer is more than twice as high as in developing countries," states the WHO's World Cancer Report.
Dr. Nilda Soto, who treats mostly immigrant patients at the Open Door Health Center, a free clinic in Homestead, Fla., agreed with Pinheiro's assessment that lifestyle changes may be a factor in the increased cancer rates.
"In their home countries, they eat more real, healthy food. Here it's faster and cheaper to eat fast foods," she said. "They gain weight eating more junk, like typical Americans. It's especially true of the young ones; older ones tend to keep their old eating habits."
Stress is another factor, Soto said. "It's always stressful moving from one culture to another, especially if you have to struggle and don't speak the language. Kids in school can be very cruel to outsiders. And the families become very dispersed; they lose the support of their family back home."

I'm not so sure you are. I've been hanging around here a long time....and in that time, no one has ever denied the existence of cloud seeding, weather mods, or the direct application of chemicals in low level spraying.
The central theme of the discussion is this.....contrails, commonly seen, easily explained, are not "chemtrails". Further, that the methods claimed by "chemtrailers" is without a doubt, a distinctly boneheaded attempt to introduce chemicals to a geographic region. Too finicky, too imprecise, and far too public.
Put it in the water supply.....introduce it in ground level combustion engines....whatever. But from 30000 ft in the air? Ludicrous.

Is it ludicrous to believe the military are spraying chemicals for military purposes?

Chemtrail believers make me laugh, there are quite a few lolworthy posts in here.
Sure maybe some things get sprayed in to the air as tests but do you realize the massive scale of an operation it would take to have chemtrails sprayed as much as the believers want you to think they are?

OK so which is it are chemtrails purposefully being made or are they a by product of burning jet fuel.Make up your mind either way the contrails would occur no mater whats in jet fuel its irrelevant.There is no engine that converts 100% of fuel As to harmful effects of burning jet fuel of course there is its exhaust. This is what happens when you burn fuel and jets aren't that different from cars as far as exhaust.If you want to argue jets pollute the air thats fine but its not a conspiracy is it?

A jet flying above a cloud deck is leaving a contrail. The contrail leaves a shadow on the cloud deck.
