The EU makes up only 5% of the world's population but has 23% of all cancer cases.
Sure, that's a stat, but it's 23% of all new cancer cases.
What makes you think that's solely down to toxins in consumer products? There's lifestyle aspects, pollution and population density to add in there.
Also two thoughts: I have a gut feeling that the reporting of cancer cases is likely to be higher when health care is free. Additionally, the stat is for Europe and not the EU. EU countries are likely to have more safety regulations than non-EU countries.
