What I MEANT to write was that 13% of ALL DEATHS GLOBALLY are from cancer. The WHO reports: "Cancer was responsible for 12 percent of the nearly 56 million deaths worldwide from all causes in 2000. In industrialized countries more than one in four people will die from the disease, a rate more than twice as high as developing countries. Over 22 million people in the world were treated for cancer in 2000, representing an increase of approximately 19 percent in incidence (cases) and 18 percent in mortality since 1990." "That's about 20,000 global cancer deaths per day, according to the American Cancer Society's first "Global Cancer Facts & Figures" report. The report shows a gap in cancer survival among economically developed nations and economically developing countries." - <a href="http://www.webmd.com/cancer/news/20071217/2007-world-cancer-deaths-top-7-million" rel="nofollow">http://www.webmd.com/cancer/news/20071217/2007-world-cancer-deaths-top-7-million</a> <a href="http://www.who.int/cancer/en/" rel="nofollow">From the WHO</a> * Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide: it accounted for 7.9 million deaths (around 13% of all deaths) in 2007. * Lung, stomach, liver, colon and breast cancer cause the most cancer deaths each year. * The most frequent types of cancer differ between men and women. * About 30% of cancer deaths can be prevented. * Tobacco use is the single most important risk factor for cancer. * Cancer arises from a change in one single cell.

That just can't be right. That would be about 870 Million deaths every year (approx. 6.7 Billion world population). Almost three times the population of the entire United States. I hate to be a nitpicker, but it distracted me so much, that it took away from the overall message of the piece.

Responsibility is a word few people seem to understand. I need to make money from my blog, but I too am not appologizing for the way I see things. I like your blog and I will make a link to it. Thanks, Annette Ommen PS I found your link in your comment on Blair Williams' post about flaws in WP themes. Hi David,

You certainly hit the nails on the head. Responsibility is a word few people seem to understand. I need to make money from my blog, but I too am not appologizing for the way I see things. I like your blog and I will make a link to it.

Thanks,
Annette Ommen
