91. My point is that right now we have ourselves an epidemic in that

Feb 2012

there is a new type of aggressive lung cancer that seems to affect younger women, who have never smoked.

Thousands of women are suffering from this aggressive lung cancer each year. And many succumb to the disease.

Yet it is barely mentioned in our news media. On the other hand, this article that the OP came from focuses on 113 cases of illness (in a nation of 303 million people) regarding a product, that is, raw milk, that is extremely hard to even purchase.

What is wrong with this picture?
