I think we as humans are just associated with cancer. Regardless of what we eat.
My soul mate exercised, ate well and natural but still got breast cancer. Because it was in her family. Cancer hits so many people that it seems like it's just a natural way of population control to me.
Or perhaps a side effect from being multi-celled creatures in a universe with background radiation.
Sorry to hear about your partner :-(
The first part of the last paragraph makes sense. Multi-cellular -> more cells dividing -> more chances of mutations -> more chances of cancer.
The second half of your last para implies that cosmic radiation / something similar causes cancer. I’m genuinely curious : is there some link between cosmic microwave radiation and cancer ? Any sources ?
There's no known link between cosmic microwave background and cancer. Would do for one hell of a difficult thing to study, too.
There's perfectly ample evidence for cosmic rays (ie. high energy radiation from astronomical sources) increasing risk of cancer as does any ionizing radiation. Maybe GP conflated the two?

You could generalize that to "... we as mammals ..." without much loss of precision.
