Yes I am surprised by quite a few of the items listed above

Not sure how one can avoid being tall ??? but suppose it is a part of your inheritance.

Aluminium production - interesting I worked as an operator in an aluminium plant for 19.5yrs! Finished there 18months ago thankfully!

It doesn’t surprise me. Doctors have been saying for years that anything you see,smell, ingest or anything you do can cause cancer. No offence intended but we all have the cancer gene all it needs is a trigger.
