Yeah it’s called the food and the drinks we eat! Stop putting poison chemicals in our foods.
Which Chemicals..
Main reason is sugar and a very meat based diet. A lot of Fast Food and 'Soft Drinks' too.
Sadly, 80% of cancer is caused by modern lifestyle. It is environmental as well, the toxins/chemicals around us. The food that we consume, even a simple vegetable sometimes there’s a pesticides present. 💔💔💔
Now, my colleagues under 30 years old are getting diagnosed with Lung, colorectal cancer and Lymphoma. None in their family members were diagnosed of those kind of cancer.
@@paxundpeace9970 IDK if it is a very meat based diet that has to do with it. Maybe processed meats. The farmed fish are unhealthy. Things like deer are very healthy. Grass feed beef. Things like leefy greens actually are questionable now. Food is packed with chemicals for preservation. Sugar I agree with is huge. We should look at Europe and see if there is a difference. Alot of sugar is banned over there. It causes a ton of inflammation.
1) Nitrates and nitrites in processed meat.
2) Fructose in sugary drinks. Yes that even includes juicing. High fructose corn syrup is the worst, but even fruit juice is problematic. It doesn't have the fiber and other natural chemicals to balance the sugar out. Do a Google search: fructose and cancer. There is a lot of emerging evidence for this.
Sort of. Cancer is caused by DNA damage and most of the plastics are inert so unlikely they're the culprit. The American diet is very low on fiber and high in processed carbs which studies show causes DNA damage in the colon. Drinking and smoking are well known cancer causing lifestyle factors. But there's people who are healthy and active without these factors still getting cancer. You have to look a bit more at trends in the last few decades to understand why this is happening. The chemical that causes the most DNA damage is mercury and its mostly in fish. There's been a huge push away from red meat (which is funny to me since we've consumed red meat for thousands of years and never had issues and no one has a red meat allergy) and towards seafoods in the last several decades. Given that Americans overeat that's a lot of mercury in the body. In contrast the Japanese typically eat sushi once a month or every other month so the amount of mercury getting into their bodies is a lot less. I'm willing to bet that these healthy people getting sick are eating too much seafood and accumulating high concentrations of mercury in their bodies (ie. sushi)...
It's the food they have us eating in this country
Increased use of preservatives, additives, colors and flavor enhancers in our food supply.
And pesticides
My my, hurry and publish your findings to the scientific community so they can get on that stat!
Sadly we think they know. However, people keep purchasing the products anyway.
Sugar consumption and high fructose fruit sirup from corn is a huge risk factor
Meat and dairy as well
honestly its probably a couple generations of microplastics, high sugar, etc
My mother has lived off of sugar all of her life. She's 80 and healthy and the proper weight
Good genetics. I’d probably have diabetes by 40 lol
@SUGAR_XYLER cool anecdote, High sugar is the leading cause of obesity, and it affects kids who don't have access to fresh food but sugary junk because it's cheap
honestly, "probably" has no scientific basis to make any sense whatsoever, just sayin'
@tommyl5319 the thing is because all this stuff being in our water is so new, we don't know the long term effects on our bodies, and we won't know for decades
When youre sitting down. Take note of where you have your phone resting.
gotta be the food we eat, water we drink and the air we breathe
totally agreed. so much processed crap in the food we eat.. growth hormones in animals that we eat have been linked to kids maturing early.. it sounds outlandish but 14 year old girls looking 20 and guys no different
Processed food, too much salt, not enough fibres, chemical additives, bad lifestyle, and so many more factors
The substances we come into contact regularly are worrying. Eg microplastics, constant radiation from technology, and second hand exposure to clouds cr*p in vapes.
The sugar, carbohydrates, alcohol, and seed oils. The fiber doesn't help either.
No more processed food
I had a colonoscopy when I was 31. Found nothing serious, thank God. My GI doctor told me to come back when I'm 40 for another colonoscopy. He was also telling me that doctors should be screening colon cancer BEFORE 45. Even if there is no family history etc..
Do you have symptoms when you had colonoscopy? I just turned 30. I’m planning to get a routine scan. The first doctor I went to did not gave me a lab request since I’m too young for colonoscopy, accdg to him. 🥲
@@yicu3453 Oh yeah the health insurance part of this is another book to open. Good luck being under 45 needing a colonoscopy! It's awful.
I was diagnosed April 2023 with stage 4 colon cancer. Since finding out I'm really seeing far to many sad young stories that I didn't realize before 💔
Pray luv nothing is hard for God
She is so positive. I would be destroyed. 😢
Lots of know-it-all comments who don't know anything about the human body. As much as humanity as a whole knows about the human body, it's rarely that easy to pin down a single unilateral culprit. That's why research and the scientific method exist. Although, people want a simple answer so badly, many will desperately search for that uber-culprit until they find something to convince themselves of, even in a total absence of actual evidence.
Naturally, a _likely_ particular culprit is going to be a matter of the foods we consume because of the nature and present understanding of colon cancer, but definitive answers don't come without studies. That's my theory, and I don't know how accurate it is. It's okay to have theories, but let them be theories. We really really don't need more baseless assumptions presented as facts filling the air. It's healthy to acknowledge that we don't know for sure and practice to be open to other possibilities.
It's usually caused by the consumptions of highly processed foods/ drinks, supplements and refined carbs for decades
My mother always ate all that stuff.
She is 80 and has good health probably because she has never smoked or drank alcohol
@@SUGAR_XYLER Some people are resistant to cancer
Yes that might be a caused with a lot of fast food and processed food.
Young people drink a far greater amount of soft drinks.
Another reasons binge drinking and party drinking while getting less is still very common.
@@SUGAR_XYLER the processed and fast food that existed when she was younger is NOT the same garbage that is produced today.
And overuse of antibiotics destroying the the protective and helpful microbiome
Its the pile of diarrhea food source, processed foods and everything sugar that's not being talked about.
My mother has always been a sugar addict. She 80, healthy and thin
Stop putting that crap in our food !!!
Why do you think they gave Vaccine Companies full Immunity......
Bingo! 👍
It's not the pharma, it's the food, it's the polluted air, it's the drinks, it's the water, it's the micro plastics
Why is it rising in younger people. Older people also took the vaccine.
Hot dogs, pepperoni pies, ham and cheese subs, bacon.....American diet is the culprit.
That's not it, Americans have been eating that way before this new spike in colon cancer the problem is whole plants that is new more and more young people are eating whole plants and whole plants have tremendous amounts of plant toxins. This push to eat more whole plants are killing people.
I read some articles from the nih that suggest that hpv does increase the risk of crc. Maybe this is part of the reason this cancer on the rise.
Besides our diets and lack of fiber and “raw” eating, having worked as a histology tech once upon a time I can tell you they are overworked, understaffed and clinics aren’t paying a fair wage. Moreover, pathologist are not really doing their job properly because the tissue is being dumped in the cassette and not being aligned properly, why? Because the clinic wants to have 300 cases a day and not care about quality but rather quantity and pump as many people through. False negatives and early detection are now a serious norm and it stems from the bottom up. Little things add up.
I believe its the gmo foods causing the rise. As for screening at age 45 that just started used to be 50.
Lets thank our government for the many foods we eat that are made in labs
All the crap in the water and food now government does not care this story like so many others will fade
Sodium nitrites are a huge cause of colorectal cancer, and they are present in pretty much all processed meats, such as hot dogs, ham, sausages, pepperoni, cold cuts, bacon etc. American people eat tons of these things.
Nope that's not it, Americans have been eating those things you mentioned way before this new colon cancer spike. Whole plants are the problem more and more young people are eating whole plants whole plants have tremendous amounts of plant toxins. This new push to eat more and more whole plant foods are killing people.
See, that's why I dont eat foods with added colors
its from keeping our phones in our pockets.....
American Healthcare sucks!
Stop eating junk food
Stop hanging around with smokers
There's probably also a rise in younger Americans sitting for unprecedented amounts of time playing Fortnite or nursing on their smartphones.
Not helping I'm sure your lucky you didn't grow up with these highly addictive screens
Its OBVIOUSLY THE FOOD WE EAT AND THE WATER THE GOVERNMENT GIVES US!!!
Yeah, that nasty tap water.
I get my water from a spring
@@Xane_Dragonboth of those waters have micro plastics in them
Culprit: *5G*
Whatever is the case is probably tech related.
No probably just the palsic in our water, and the forever chemicals, also in our water
OH MAN, you got it all figured out. Make sure to let all the cancer researchers in the country know that they missed it--so obvious too, those silly folks
You know what, I say "its all a crap game," anyway. Why? Some say go take this or that test. Yet, the doctors don't find anything until it's too late. Don't eat this, don't do that. I'm not being cynical. However, since last November to now January, I've heard of 3 separate people ( two I knew personally) who just went to sleep like normal and didn't wake up. None of them was sick or diagnosed with illness. Enjoy every day! I arrived at the conclusion that the death rate is still one per person. 🙃
Did they get the COVID vaccine?
@@anastaciafang270 "Safe & Effective".
Jabs
Existence sure is "one bloody gaedaemn thing after another", lemme tell ya. Come to think of it, it's absolutely ASTONISHING as to how certain people I've met over the decades even made it this far. Myself as well! But even so, I'll be OUTTA here soon enough. :)
Make sure you have your Eternity planned, that's our HOPE! ✝️
Yeah, you can tell she wasn't doing well given that she looked well over a decade over 30 when she was diagnosed, and looks even sicker "after" the treatments. Its the modern (not just United Stated) diet of high sugar, processed, low quality fats and seed oils, and the consumption of alcohol. All of these things lead to increasing colorectal cancer rates. Maybe those who promote these trash food and alcohol products should face consequences for making multiple generations of people sick.
Sadly, these news stories are going to result in more people going in for any GI concern. Unintentional weight loss seems to be the key ingredient.
Plastics or gmo's?
Starbucks drinks have so much different chemicals
Food. Food. Food and water.
There's no other cause than the food. In Japan here we've something like 3x more colon cancer incident per population than say the U.S., simply because of raw food, food additives, high salt, high fat. I know because it's much worse than in the U.S., just look at how much butter they use on desserts
V-A-EX if you know what I mean.
More and more young people are eating whole plants that's the problem whole plants have tremendous amounts of plant toxins this whole plant food push is killing people.
It’s the food.
All you have to do is focus on gut health smh
These people definitely weren't eating vegan!
Vegans can get cancer to you know
america
its not just America its every western country
Cannabis has saved my life through kidney cancer and lung cancer
AH, of course, someone certainly will roll into the confusion to let everyone know they have a cure
No it hasn't.
New persistent herbicides in our hay and grains.
Its all the meat yall be eatin
Why? Does this have anything to do with the covid shots???
She looks a bit overweight, so I guess the cancer was caused by the consumptions of highly processed foods/ drinks, supplements and refined carbs for decades
@@containedhurricane
Smoking, drinking, chemicals in tap water, fake food flavors, coloring...
@@Xane_Dragon Yes, those stuff could cause cancer too
There isn't any evidence at all to suggest it would have anything to do with the covid vaccines. It could just as easily be caused by all sorts of things or even a combination of factors. It also doesn't necessarily happen overnight. It could be related to exposure to something over a decade or more. The fact that it's the colon, though, means that you're much more likely to find the culprit(s) in the food people are consuming. That's where research and studies into this will almost surely begin.
Do be wary--lots of know-it-alls in the comment section that act like they know something no one else does. Unfortunately, we don't know. It sucks, but while we all have many theories and even try to test them (both of which are totally cool), we have to acknowledge the uncertainty. I do recall that excess consumption of red meat had been connected with an increased cancer risk, but even that's not just going to be obvious whether or not that played a role _here_
Hahahahahahhahahah
