it's called statistics...bell curve ..probability distribution...like that.
a few kids and younger adults have always had cancer.
but it becomes more and more likely the older you get.
I heard it said that if you live long enough you're guarnteed to get prostate cancer...
One of the reason you hear about kids getting cancer today is...surprise...the large majority no longer die before age four. they live long enough to get it. Unfortunately for them they're several sigma's toward the probability of early cancer. The fact that more of them lives means that we hear more about it.
some cultures in the not to distant past didn't name a kid before it got sufficienctly old. The child mortalilty rate was about 80%. for the mathmatically challenged that means that eight out of ten children died during or shortly after birth.
You're right....Cancer is a degenerative disease that develops later in life.
For the most part they died young.
Didn't live long enough to get it.
Ok but what about all the kids today that have cancer? Childhood cancers have been climbing.

Mother's too.
I am doing the best I can to prevent prostate cancer...
Get the pipes cleaned on a regular basis! LOL
Yeah that and and now all the chems and genetically mod’d foods don’t help leading to higher rates as well

have you read the actual protocols of the tests or have you just listened to a talking head on TV tell you that?
