    Truth
    Here is the dirty truth. Somewhere down the line whether that be through governmental pressures, academic, the insurance industry or a combination of them all it was decided that it was not unethical to attribute a definitive cause to virtually any disease if it served the "social good" AKA Social Engineering, AKA Propaganda. The truth is, they know the cause of few if any cancers. Their determinations are base entirely on the consensus of probability which we have recently found out was questionable at best with the NEW information that HPV could be the cause of most Head and Neck cancers. A few years ago the academic circles would have scoffed at the idea and then slandered anyone who dared to differ without mercy because smoking causes all diseases!
    The amounts of money driving "studies" who's results are tailored to the desired outcome is staggering and when you trace most of it back to the source you almost always find the Insurance Industry with the purse strings setting the stage to be able to deny coverage to those who live a lifestyle that threatens their profit margin.
    There are over 30 different substances that could have caused any of our cancers but if your research hospital derives part of it's income from or is owned by an Insurance Company then naturally the outcomes are going to be what the board of directors or the Federal Bureaucracy in charge of care rationing desired it to be.
    Hold onto your shorts because it is going to get worse. The next big push you are going to see is already in practice for the Brits. There, their government several years ago made it legal for doctors to list a contributory factor as the cause on Death Certificates if it served the (once again) "Social Good" For example, if you die of a heart attack and you ever smoked, the doctor can list "Smoking" as the cause of death. The lawmakers were very upset that doctors there were refusing the opportunity they had given them to contribute to the "Social Good." Wait awhile, once they figure out how to nudge them into playing ball you will see it implemented here.

    LOL, good to see your humor is intact Ray....

    I'm one of those that find humor in most everything also....

    When I was in treatment, my favorite was;

    "Other than having cancer, I'm in perfect health"...

    Best,
