Subject: Fw: focus here is all wrong - shoudl be PREVENTION of colon cancer

the focus here is all wrong. the focus should be on prevention of colon cancer. one has to wonder why we allow people to get it and then go thru the trauma of having to try to stay living.

THE BEST IDEA IS TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING IN THE FIRST PLACE. START WITH EPA WHICH HAS APPROVED EVERY SINGLE TOXIC CHEMICAL THAT CAME BEFORE IT FOR APPROVAL FOR THE PAST 17 YEARS. EPA APPROVES IT ALL, WITH NO REAL HUMAN TESTING.
