>>7026733yes it is. do you understand how risk factors work? you are a walking cancer risk even if you do everything by the book, super clean, super healthy. its not like you started at zero and go up to 18% or whatever the number is.
if you had an 18% chance of getting colon cancer because you eat meat then that would mean 1/5 people get it and we know that isn't the case just from looking outside.
using your number of 18% you are raising your risk factor by 18%.
the default risk factor is 1/20 people so 5% of the population, we add 18% to that 5%, which means my default risk has gone up to 6% if you round up.
yeah, I'll continue to enjoy my life if it only costs me a 1% risk
