Sandra Steingraber begins talking with unique examples on adoptees showing the same hereditary traits as their adoptive parents. Now of course Sandra found out that it was no real but she did find something very interesting. At a young age the adopted Sandra found herself diagnosed with bladder cancer. By tracking down her adoptive parents side she saw that cancer was wide spread through her adopted family. With many years of research she came to the conclusion that cancer is more of an environment disease. PCB's & DDT are still in the air as well as many carcinogens that we cannot even name or keep track of. Everything you by today is packaged and treated with chemical. This is why I don't find the rise in cancer alarming.
It is hard to tell if something is carcinogenic in humans because there are many factors that can be involved. Temperature, quantity, purity and time all play big factors. Some chemical may react differently in a colder temperature. Quantity depends on the amount of the chemical you are absorbing. Purity is hard to keep a hold of because in the air everything mixes together which could create a volatile reaction. Lastly we have time. Time is a tricky one because there in no way we can know what a chemical will do to us in 30
