Without engaging with the rest of your content, I have to point out that Wikipedia's "list of countries by cancer rates" is not actually a useful metric for the true rates of cancer in those countries. Poorer countries tend to have worse medical surveillance and likely undercount. People also die earlier of "other" things than cancer as well.
I understand the desire to make a coherent narrative that fits your beliefs but please recognize the limits in our ability to make causal statements about the causes of cancer.
that was just a quick example. I agree there are tons of noise.
but the biochemistry doesn't change, you just need to see the human system as... a system, like any other system. Yes it will vary depending on genetics, environment and so on, but the base model is still the same.
the system inputs: constant glucose spikes require constant insulin, which drives inflammation and shuts down autophagy, which is bad for cellular and specially mitochondrial repair. what's the output?
also, I don't think it's necessary to mention but... this is not the sole root cause for all cancers in all of history. this is not the "cure". it is not the holy grail... but ask yourself.. what lifestyle are young people having today?
