Breathing causes death

I saw this story yesterday on The Today Show about how grilled (specifically charred) meat can cause cancer.  Apparently they've now found a cure for all other illnesses, poverty, global warming, baldness, and athlete's foot and are now focusing on the only medical mysteries left on the planet.

Seriously, who are these people who research this crap? Why do they have grant money to study grilled steak?  Are they the same people that got money to study why hot pizza burns the roof of your mouth?

The fact is that you can never positively show a link between illness and things like this.  I'll tell you why.  1 in 3 get cancer.  So odds are that most of those 1 in 3 who get cancer eat grilled meat.  However, most of the 2 in 3 who don't get cancer eat grilled meat.

This is the same logic that proves breathing air causes prostate cancer.  I mean absolutely 100% of everyone with prostate cancer breathes air!  100%!!!!!!  How can we let this happen!?!?!?!?!
