No need to do that. Just increase the amount of tobacco smoked.Scupperer wrote:How to Get Cancer: Move to the United StatesSkipjack wrote:n regards to cultural diversity: Well that is somewhat idiotic. How would cultural diversity affect this?

Races of people are genetic families and they have genetic differences which can be important to their health. This is why Japan repeats every US medical study on the Japanese population. African-American men, even when corrected for income, insurance, etc, get heart disease and cancer more frequently, for instanceSkipjack wrote:In regards to cultural diversity: Well that is somewhat idiotic.

Heck here in my hometown I see more black people than in San Antonio Texas.
The US is 12% AA, 12% Hispanic, 4% Asian and has a diverse non-Hispanic white population. I don't think there is any country that has that complicated a gene pool to deal with.
Here is an example study :

I know that, but Europe is always compared to the US as a whole and taking Europe as a whole, we do have at least a smillilarily diverse population. Taking the amount of immigrants from Afrika in some parts of Europe, at least some countries are getting rates for blacks that rival the US.
Here in my hometown we have everything. You take a walk in the park and you dont know what country you are in. You can walk for 30 minutes without hearing a single german word.

It is not just genetic diversity. It is which genes.Skipjack wrote:We still have more than 50% of the adult population here smoking. I mean until 3 years ago (when cigarette prices went up so much), almost everyone here was smoking. Non smokers were the minority.
We are still far behind the US in this, yet we live longer. So I doubt that smoking can be made responsible for the gap in live expectancy.
