PROFESSORS, scientists and doctors must be scratching their heads as to why breast cancer is now the number one form of cancer.

Can I say the Government is allowing all sorts of chemicals to be put in our foods, usually to either colour them to make it look more attractive to buy, and cancer-causing agents like nitrates are used to preserve the food which, in turn, preserves company profits.

The only other modern-day link to the increase in illnesses, in particular I refer to asthma, allergies and cancer, must be the amount of benzine in the atmosphere, as car and aeroplane use has gone up so, too, in proportion have these ailments.

I am saying pollution is literally killing us all.
