Lothar,
Part of the Nazi War on Cancer was Chemicals, Meats, Sweets, Fats, … I think many of those chemicals are still legal in the USA. And we got worse modern chemicals.
Avoid living around big ag farm areas that produce those Meats, Sweets, Fats using Chemicals.
We have mostly clean organic dairy cows around here, no GMO farms.
Low Cancer New Mexico cannot be farmed due to desert dry… very poor with high murder and drug overdose rates
but you are more likely to get cancer.
Cancer is part of the big ag economy.
Iowa maybe the most big ag farma GMO corn soy and CAFO pig shit state. Helps $$$$$$ revenue of big pharma.
China Pills.
States with the Highest Cancer Incidence Rates from 2018 to 2022:
Rank State Incidence Rate (per 100,000)
1 Kentucky 519.0
2 Iowa 498.8
3 West Virginia 498.1
4 Louisiana 514.2
5 Minnesota 498.0
States with the Lowest Cancer Incidence Rates
Rank State Incidence Rate (per 100,000)
1 Arizona 375.4
2 New Mexico 366.9
3 Massachusetts 377.9
4 Colorado 382.2
5 Hawaii 382.5
Factors Influencing Cancer Rates
Several factors contribute to the differences in cancer rates among states:
Demographics: Older populations tend to have higher cancer rates.
Lifestyle Choices: Smoking, diet, and exercise significantly impact cancer risk.
Also fatter states, smoker states, oil refinery states, other mega farm states get more cancer.
==================
A cancer crisis decades in the making is bearing down on rural Iowa
In Iowa’s two highest-incidence counties, residents can measure the state’s cancer crisis in the family and friends they have buried.
From nitrate in kitchen taps to
billions of pounds of chemicals spread across farm fields,
rural Iowans are demanding answers about why a system making them sick is being allowed to persist.
As cancer centers struggle to keep up with rising demand,
fragile rural hospitals are fighting to stay afloat and preserve the services patients depend on.
“Living here, it has always felt like it was not a matter of if you were going to get cancer.
Nearly half of Iowa’s 99 counties now have cancer rates
higher than Louisiana’s “Cancer Alley,”
a heavily industrialized extraordinary cancer risk.
Iowa ranks second among states for cancer incidence and is
one of only three states where rates are still rising.
Some 21,700 will be diagnosed this year,
About 6,400 Iowans with cancer will die.
“Iowa ranks second behind Kentucky in cancer incidence, but
Kentucky is getting better, and Iowa is getting worse,”
“There is little doubt that we will overtake them and infamously become the No. 1 cancer state per capita.”
Iowa’s cancer crisis is unfolding across one of the most intensively farmed landscapes in the world.
About 84% of the state is farmland.
13.5 million acres of corn and nearly
10 million acres of soybeans were planted across more than
86,000 farms in Iowa
11 billion pounds of commercial fertilizer were sprayed on Iowa fields.
215 billion pounds of manure coming out of Iowa’s livestock facilities
much of it also spread on fields.
2 billion people an entire year to produce that weight in feces.
rural Iowans have taken pride in the mantra that they “feed the world.”
“In Iowa, it’s not just the air we breathe,”
“In this Cancer Alley that we all live in,
it’s the soil that we grow out of.
It’s the water that we drink.
It’s the hog confinements,
the big factory farms,
the fertilizer,
pesticides and
everything else that poisons us every single day.”
“What is in my water?”
“We’re at the center of the cancer rates.
“Because of the cancer rates,
it has gotten a lot more people wanting samples and being curious.”
About 282,000 Iowans rely on private wells,
many in rural communities.
Unlike municipal systems,
the quality of the water in those wells is not regulated under federal law.
Beneath Iowa’s fields lies an intricate system of more than 2 million miles of drainage tile —
underground pipes that turn what was once marshy ground
into some of the most productive farmland in the world.
The pipes move water quickly into streams,
often picking up excess nitrate from fertilizer and manure as it leaches through the ground.
Those streams are then effectively turned into drainage ditches,
feeding larger rivers like the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers,
which flow through some of the state’s major cities.
the rivers are among the worst nationally for nitrate pollution.
“You have all of our nitrates from the north coming down into Des Moines,
downstream, Des Moines’ water utility said it spent about
$2.2 million in 2025 removing nitrate from drinking water.
It must keep the levels under
10 milligrams per liter,
per the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s limit for drinking water.
That limit was set more than 35 years ago to prevent a
deadly infant blood disorder known as “blue baby syndrome,” not cancer.
Research since nitrate levels as low as
3 milligrams per liter
can increase cancer risk.
1.2 million Iowans were served by public water systems that recorded a nitrate test at or above that level.
Water from the tap kitchen tested at more than twice that nitrate level, at
6.9 milligrams per liter.
A landmark 2026 report
agriculture as a contributor to Iowa’s high and rising cancer rates,
pointing to its role as the “dominant source” of nitrate pollution in Iowa watersheds and to a
“cocktail” of pesticides and forever chemicals.
National cancer rates fall, Iowa’s has spiked
Around 2013, that changed: Iowa suddenly spiked upward while the national rate kept falling.
That came roughly three decades after the 1980s Farm Crisis ushered in a new era of Iowa agriculture:
fewer, bigger farms, more livestock and heavier chemical use.
Many cancers can take decades to surface after a harmful exposure.
“The reality is that today’s cancer was not caused by something we did yesterday,”
“It is from something that happened 30 or 40 years ago,
and it is going to take a couple of generations to clear some of these things up.”
Iowa launched its Nutrient Reduction Strategy in 2013, the same year cancer incidence began spiking.
voluntary action, asking farmers to adopt conservation practices such as
planting cover crops to slow runoff and reduce nitrogen and phosphorus pollution flowing into waterways.
farmers, who make up around 2% of Iowa’s population,
will lose the public’s patience if they do not.
buying fresh, healthy groceries nearby is almost impossible.
“There’s no place to buy fresh food.
It’s only a dollar store,”
It’s a food desert right here in the middle of some of the richest ground in the world.”
Iowa farmers sold about $18 billion in crops in 2024,
but never destined for people to eat,
instead becoming ethanol
or livestock feed.
Farmers spend heavily on what keeps that system running.
In 2022, they spent about $7.3 billion on fertilizer,
agricultural chemicals and seed,
making Iowa a massive market for agribusiness giants including Koch,
Syngenta,
Pioneer
and its parent company Corteva,
and Bayer, which owns Monsanto.
“Living here is like living in a chemical bomb,”
“Our Iowa government doesn’t seem to want to protect us,
and the chemical companies have been given pass after pass.
It’s a travesty.”
The state has largely resisted forcing changes on farmers.
