After Marketplace host Wendy Mesley was diagnosed, she began a long and personal journey. Along the way, she came across disturbing clues about why more Canadians than ever are getting sick.Mesley says she thought she was doing everything right. The Canadian Cancer Society touts its seven steps to health:ON THE RISE 1 in 2.3 men and 1 in 2.6 women will have cancer in their lifetime. Don't smoke Eat your veggies Exercise Stay out of the sun Get screened regularly Visit your doctor and dentist regularly Avoid cancer-causing substances Those are all great tips for healthy living - but like so many other Canadians with cancer, Mesley did all of them and still got the disease. Clearly, there must be something else going on. The real cancer story is the fact that nearly one in two of us are going to get this disease. --from website cbc.ca/marketplace.
