Except of course the areas down wind of the US nuclear test
sites have the lowest cancer rates in the country. Cites on
demand. What is more while whining about cancer you have not
exactly leapt to admit that childhood leukemia is one of the
great success stories of modern medicine. While people still
die of it (especially if not caught in time) it is curable in
the vast majority of cases these days.
