Cancer?

My school has a lovely little tradition of putting a "Toilet Talk" newsletter on the inside of stall doors, so that as someone is being forced to use the community bathrooms all over campus, they have lovely built in reading material. It's mainly about health issues, you know, normal stuff people think about as they go to the bathroom.
This months issue sported an article about how microwave popcorn popcorn can give you lung cancer. It even cited information from a professional study and actual medical record. This poor man from Idaho ate Orville Reddenbocker every day, and began to wheeze, cough, and was unable to take a full breath. Turns out -- yadda yadda yadda. The main point is - popcorn a source of cancer?
It has always been my opinion that scientist are just grasping at straws when it comes to cancer. They find a common factor, so some bull shit study on it, and then deem it dangerous. Case in point - HPV. It's always been there, so why now is it bad? Everyone has it, meaning everyone that has had uterine cancer has had it. This must be the problem! So let's give all young girls a shot to get rid of something that naturally occurs in the body.
It seems like everything causes cancer now-a-days anyway. We're all going to eventually die, although we don't know what time or of what, so why fight it?! So what if being outside, eating, having sex, or even breathing give you cancer. People should live their lives, because a life lived in fear is not a life at all.

AMEN
