There may or may not be something here, but it can't be found simply by
counting death certificates.   For example: what if, for some reason,
hams have a lower heart disease rate than the general population, and
live longer?  Cancer primarily strikes in old age.  A cure for heart
disease would show up in non-age-specific statistics as a powerful carcinogen.
How old were those hams when they died?
