Celine Dion's brother just died of cancer?

What is with all of these celebrities dying of cancer lately?! It's a bit creepy to be honest. I suppose it might have something to do with living in California? Maybe I'm just noticing it more because I'm thinking about it more?  :-\ I dunno. It's creepy though!

I noticed it too and the fact that they die at such a young age. Cancer occurrence may have been higher these past few years simply because we consume more processed food than ever. That and of course genetic reasons as well. My husband's grandmother is still alive and strong at the age of 86. And take note, she drinks alcohol and smokes cigarette. But she eats mostly vegetables and fishes plus she lives at the province so the air there is cleaner.

This is why I prefer to eat home cooked meals and try to get fresh produce when possible. I would buy organic, but I've heard it's basically a scam and the labels don't mean much. If I had a yard I would plant my own vegetables, but that's not an option where I am at the moment. Of course it could just be excessive drug use as well. They are celebrities and family members after all.
