according to mail&guardian online reporters "HANY BESADA AND VADIM ERMAKOV Sep 10 2008 14:25" say Some answers can be found in the rising pollution that is affecting an increasing number of African cities across the continent, as well as ongoing economic development and, consequently, increased life expectancy and disposable income, which has resulted in more Africans living in urban areas and adopting Western dietary patterns.

*which bring in a question,economic development and western dietary petterns cause cancer to the men of color in africa?

*"African men and women are not only more likely to get prostate or breast cancer respectively at a younger age",isnt that iromic? but also more likely to be diagnosed at a more developed stage of the disease.does it mean at an younger age there is less of so called western dietery patterns ? To be precise i think lack of reseach and understanding the way the mordern african men has evolved,trade between africa and the west has always been there for centuries,polution was exchanged during trade,disposing unwanted material(pollution)in many ways has been an eyesore.africa may be a continent least prepared to cope with the devastating effects of this new pandemic.on the otherhand in preparing there are always calsualties or catalystic mutation of the pandemic. afrigrade projects strongly beleive that naural organic,enviromentaly tuned methods or research should be derived to curb the cancers affecting humankind not speciffic race and also economic development in africa has changed previously disadvantaged communities to have access to clean drinking water eradicating water bourne diseases not forgetting that western dietry has help to subsidize our food storages to avoid hunger dudroughts.
