    My point is simply this:

    Modern concepts of causation are not deterministic. In our current
    understanding of the causes of cancer, both age and toxins are factors.
      On this I think we all agree. Take away the toxins - who knows. Take
    away the age - who knows. After that it's ALL conjecture.

    Best,

    Robbie
