This reminds me of a great quote by Neil deGrasse Tyson:
“The good thing about science is that it’s true whether or not you believe in it.”

A simple way of looking at the topic raised in the OP’s article, to help understand it, is that taller people have more cells in their body and therefore more tickets in the Russian roulette of cancer cells forming.
