Eggsactly-- And anyone who says they can is a lying charlatan. Here's
a couple of numbers--
We have 10000 genes- some of them can lean us towards cancer. We
get them at birth and so far we think we are stuck with them.

Each of those genes has 100000 [or is it a million?] variations, that
change on a daily [hourly?] basis. Hit the right [wrong]
combination & you get cancer.

That is from memory from an article I read this spring in Time- The
numbers are likely to be wrong-- but the ratio is about right.

Personally, I just go with moderation and a prayer. Shit happens.
