why is it that the great U.S.A has the largest cancer rate in the world. 1...cause more people smoke in the u.s.a than anywhere else. 2. or because the great U.S.A has THE MOST nuclear explosion tests than any other country in the world over 1,025 tests.

I think it may be caused by stupid questions...very few of the nuclear tests done resulted in radiation being released into the atmosphere.
But there are a lot of factors.
Some try to blame pollution, smoking, radiation, diet, etc.
If it was pollution or smoking, why did people get cancer before the air/water was polluted? There was no pesticides in food or hormones in animals....
I think some of it may simply be stress. Stress makes your immune system weak, it gives the cancer a chance to take hold instead of the bodies natural defenses nipping it in the bud.
If there was a simple answer, we'd have it fixed by now.

Scientific research indicates that the Standard American Diet (SAD) may be the major player in the high rate of cancer in the U.S.
Research has shown that COMMON Vitamin and Mineral deficiencies cause the same type of damage to the DNA as radiation - except the vitamin/mineral problem is 'orders of magnitude' more important!
So keep eating your Twinkies, drinking your sodas and dining at the fast food restaurant and quit worrying about radiation.

actualy Europe has a higher smoking rate than we ever did...and as for the largest cancer rate, you have to realize..that not everyone that dies, or gets sick knows why, it's just the united states has more doctors, and more people getting checked out, and more and better hospitals to diagnose us...chances are, cancer rates are the same every where, it's something that has been around pretty much since the beginning of time, and just not recognized for what it is till recently.

Because the US has the third largest population in the world, after China and India, but those countries have a much healthier lifestyle, so this is why cancer rates come out on top for Americans. HTH : )

It's probably a combination of many things. The chemicals and hormones in our food. The pollution we breath in and ingest. The high level of stress in our daily lives. The amount of sun we expose ourselves to. The amount of medication we abuse. The way we abuse our bodies with poor nutrition and very little exercise.
I could go on and on...

Or because it's under diagnosed in other countries?
