I recently buried my mum-in-law.
She was about 60, passed on frm stomach cancer.
We are still wondering how and where she got this menace - i mean she grew up on a diet of tradtl foods kabisa, has no family history of the disease, and zero intake of fast foods. And its only her, no other family members have it - so where did she pick this up?!
For the life of us we just cant understand.

There's also a link between sexually transmitted diseases and cancer. The risk of unprotected sex is too great these days

The biggest culprit is weed killers and chemicals recently adopted by our farmers to replace hand weeding. They seep into all sorts of foods from maize (ugali) to sukuma wiki, milk and meat through animal proteins and water through drinking.

I think Cancers are also a factor of longevity - unlike what you have heard - human beings never used to live to old age in large numbers. I know you have a grand mother/grand father somewhere you point at to say watu wa zamani walikuwa wanaishi sana.... they are more the exception than the norm.
Secondly, the kind of things people eat these days are not good... my suspicion sana sana is mafuta ya transformer being used to fry chips! plus all manner of things that find their way into food production.

Methuselah lived for 969 years and died 1656AM (Anno Mundi, after Creation).

He was @Noah's grandfather, @Noah of teh Ark.

And food additives? Once I learnt that they use bleach in the manufacture of blue band I said never again! And this is what they encourage our kids to eat!

For sure margarine is not healthy. But when you mention bleach, hapo umetudanganya.

What about child cancers?

@Shak, They also bleach unga/sugar to make it "more white" - Benzoyl peroxide &Calcium peroxide.

@Chemirocha yes Chlorine is used to sanitize food.
