Found this article interesting as it pertains to high rise of cc amongst the indigenous community. This is the part that caught my attention:
In Fort Chipewyan, there have been reports of increases in diseases and cancers.
A local doctor, John O’Connor, reported disproportionately high incidents of colon, liver, blood and bile-duct cancers in the community. “There have been several different kinds of cancer, as well as what we call auto-immune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, various skin rashes,” O’Connor told the Dominion. “The malignant–the cancerous diseases have been the biggest concern.”
One condition, Cholangiocarcinoma, normally occurs in one out of 100,000 people. But in Fort Chipewyan, “We’ve had two tissue biopsy confirmed cases…and possibly another three or four, which didn’t actually get to tissue biopsy diagnosis.”
“In a population of between 750 and 1200, that’s very unexpected.”
