that article doesn't make sense...the human life expectancy averaged around 30 yrs for ages...it's only recently that people are living long enough to develop different types of cancers...

Yes...the mummy argument is weak, I agree. He jumps from his attention-getting point to his anti-cancer protocols which are backed by science. If all that science is taken in, the conclusion that we set the scene for cancer development is difficult to avoid. But it's still not "proven".
