I read this from another source. Not even close to a surprise to me.

Understood. But what we often forget is that our bodies are also chemical factories built to deal with some of these issues. We have built in mechanisms (eg. the liver, DNA repair enzymes, cellular death, etc.) to help excrete harmful compounds (carcinogens, mutagens and teratogens) more quickly from our bodies. Also the damage has to occur in critical genes that also changes the odds. Then you can toss in genetic and epi-genetic mechanisms for good measure.
