What is it? Abnormal cell growth
in an uncontrolled way is called as cancer. Your

states have more cases than Northern, white people
more often have skin cancer than blacks.

these days. The society blames it on the modern
lifestyle that everyone has become accustomed to.
Fast foods, smoked foods, junk foods, carbonated
drinks—all of these are just partly to be blamed,
so they say. |
