My previous question was misworded. Allow me to apologize.
Pesticides allow for the cheaper production of fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables provide antioxidants. Antioxidants are one of the most important deterrants of cancer.
Without pesticides, fruits and vegetables would be prohibitively expensive for many people, so people would not get enough antioxidants, and as a result, would more commonly develop cancer.
