There are just so many great things about this quote I found in my Cellular Biology book while studying for my test today:
"There are some human subgroups whose way of life substantially reduces the total cancer death rate among individuals of a given age. Under the current conditions in the United States and Europe, approximately one in five people will die of cancer. But the incidence of cancer among strict Mormons in Utah (but, importantly, not among non-practicing members of the same family), who avoid alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, drugs, and casual sex, is only about half the incidence among Americans in general"
Sorry those of you who are Mormon and not living in Utah; you're cancer rate is just as high as the rest of them.
