many cancers have nothing to do with diet, or fitness.
they just occur. for example a white guy who runs marathons and eats right can still get skin cancer because of the sun exposure from running marathonsoutside.
they could be smokers (most common cause of lung, pancreas, bladder, layngeal cancers) with great fitness/diet.
also, if cancer runs in your family, no amount of fitness will help, only regular visits to your doctor to get it checked and detected early can help.
at the same time, there are different types of cancer that people can get from poor diet/special diet. for example stomach cancer from people that eat too muchcured meat (i.e. in japan this is pretty high). These are the preventable type so there IS a benefit from lots of fitness/diet, so dont be mislead intothinking it doesnt matter since athletes are getting CA nowadays.
anyone know if Chuck Daly was a smoker? cuz pancreas cancer, most common cause is smoking; regardless of how fit you are, u smoke u dead
