On the Definite Tumor

So we had this class with the oncology orthopaedic specialist the other day and we were talking about all the different forms of bone and soft tissue tumors and what nots. Somehow, there are a lot of tumors which happened out of chance and there was no trail in the family of any sort.

Apparently, according to the professor, all of us will have some form of tumor in our lifetimes, mostly contributed by the environment factor. What we eat, what we drink, what we breathe. Who'd have known, all these stuff that we are in contact with, are some form of carcinogens.

In the west, it's common for the caucasians to get skin disease. But in the east... I don't know. LOL.

Now that being said, perhaps we should all start to eat organic foods?

I think eating organic would just reduce the odds a little.
