hmmmm..I grew up eating organic walnuts all my life....We had several trees in our yard.......I still got cancer........I wish I knew what caused mine then maybe i could have prevented it.......I grew up on farm fresh milk, not pasturised, straight from the cow.......We grew our own veggies and meat........The one factor I can think of is I also lived next to a train track and they sprayed DDT every summer along the tracks and also a weed killer...It would stink for days..........

Yup - I hear you about the DDT - been there too.  It's documented affect on prepubescent young girls who later develop hormone positive breast cancer.
