    Two thirds of all cancers are a result of normal cell replication. Environmental factors or an inherited predisposition for cancer are minor factors relatively speaking. Whenever a cell divides, hundreds of replication errors occur. Occasionally those errors result in a mutation which can cause cancer. Even if you eliminate all carcinogens in the environment the incidence of cancer would not drop dramatically.

    There may be something to that. Cancer was almost unheard of in the Garden of Eden.
