Cite your sources. Maybe during the process you learn something. Maybe. Probably not.

I was looking at a Canadian cancer study and in 2013 187500 people in Canada were diagnosed with cancer. Out of a population of 30 million it works out to a 0.00625 percentage which when applied to 100000 people means that 625 out of 100000 Canadian will be diagnosed with cancer this year.
I have a lot of problems with the figures that were put in place with the 4 to 500 x cancer rate in those areas.
So right there I have problems with the documentary and its accuracy vs fear mongering.
