Stick to the science folks. Let the MDs do what they do.
Stats and population level studies are hard work. You need to vote somebody in who will support this, or live with the consequences.

There are common sense ways to reduce cancer risk that have been obvious to and practiced by many people for a long time, before the studies showed that they were right. For example, all of the many new synthetic materials and chemicals that have been found to be carcinogens. I just assume any novel chemistry exposure is a risk, to eat it, drink it, touch it, breathe it. I can't and don't avoid all of it, but I can avoid a lot of it in terms of dose, compared to people who don't think about this at all.
It's a good balance to care about science while still maintaining a human brain with independent thoughts.
What do you think science is? The whole point of science is questioning assumptions and applying data gathering and independent thought to analyzing that data.
Are we doing studies ourselves? Of course not. Are we reviewing a multitude of papers ourselves? We generally don't have the time.
