More Colon Cancer Among Younger People.

[bullet08]

Well, I have few questions/remarks.

1. It's refreshing to see this is not blamed on tobacco/vape use.
2. Don't they know this generation of kids eat ass?
3. What were doctors doing looking at younger people's ass?

 

[Merton]

I'd pump the brakes on the notion that vaping, in particular, is not/ will not be blamed for an increase in colon cancer in young people. It appears that vaping chemicals have an impact on gut and colon health. As for #3, statistics are showing an increase in colon cancer in younger people and so it's the cancer and not the ass which is being looked at.

cheers

I don't know what it is but it's rather frightening and I don't think that vaping 24/7 which a lot of people seem to do across generations could be good for one's health and it seems like it has become a hyper compulsive habit for many. Look at how even the most frequent pipe smoker here puffs, I doubt it gets close to the amount of time the average vaper vapes. In general I try to avoid things which are over-processed which I would classify those carts as (what is really even in them?) vs. something like pipe tobacco. I do know a guy by me who died of popcorn lung who was vaping all the time according to his wife. No idea what his colon health was like.

That’s gotta be a pain in the ass.

Btw, has anyone seen what the younger crowd has done to an exit mislabeled as an entrance.

Decades ago I lost a friend to that disease at only 47. He had a young wife and daughter. It's a difficult cancer to attribute to a cause, but in this case, my prime suspect was the building where he worked that had much earlier been used as a radiation laboratory. The suspicion there arises from the death of another of his colleagues who worked in the same building, who I also knew, who died of the disease at about 57.

These were not "young people" as we use the term, but they were decades early loses according to the life expectancy of that time. The younger man had been in the Marine Corps, and the older one had been a paratrooper in the Army at the Battle of the Bulge, and had also authored a popular novel that had been made into a film with George C. Scott -- "The Flim Flam Man" by Guy Owen.

On a serious note. Look at their lifestyles. Look at what they eat. Look at their average weight.
There's your answers, right there.

A doctor has to look at something before we blame him for causing it all.

 

[mso489]

Both of my friends were much more trim and fit than the average American man and did not over-drink or have other risky habits, and their lifestyles were not overt in any other way, so those factors were not suspect. Hence my suspicion about the building in which they had offices.

Just saw an article the other day that in the last 2 years cancer in the 18-40ish age group is up over 1000% . no clue why that would happen in such a short time to that group, but then "died suddenly" is now a common death in teens and people in their 20s. Jinxy it's a mystery!

What major health event happened recently? And how was it handled (treated)? Just a thought… but what do I know? I’m just watching friend after friend (mostly women) battling colon cancer like I’ve never seen before and yeah, they’ve all been treated.

Colon cancer didn't make this list, but I'll bet it and other forums of cancer all have increased.
People consume poison in every form on a daily basis. They're even convinced some of this poison is healthy for them.

In my opinion - Microplastics. They are the asbestos and lead of our era. And there is really nothing anyone can do about it. They are now everywhere and in just about everything we eat, drink, and breathe.

The difference being that this younger generation have been exposed to high loads of MP starting in the womb, whereas Gen X and early Millenials were not.

There are some recent peer-reviewed studies showing high levels of microplastics in colon tumors, among other things.

Also look into other peer-reviewed studies on the effect of MP on DNA and human cells. Scary stuff.

A friend of mine was in the first Gulf War. He was one of guards for nuke reactor in a Navy ship. No, he didn't die. But he ended up with lesbian wife who divorced him after a med school, and testicular cancer that resulted in removal of the left nut. Now doing well. Newly married to a nice Russian nurse with a son.

What evidence are we basing this increase of colon cancer in younger men?

I’d bet money of this apparent growth is increased detection vs increased prevalence or incidence.

A lot of it is down to diet. If you stick to the basics like your grandfather and those before you should be fine. Low sugar, beer, frequent exercise as I normally clock up five miles a day. Lots of vegetables, greenery like cabbage and root veggies. This is an interesting article on the subject and pretty much tells you what is wrong with what we consume today. For those interested in a more detailed exposition on the subject might look at the works by Jorian Jenks the farming and soil guy from 1940s England who has some very interesting thoughts on food and health.

[anotherbob]

what kinds of colon cancer? It matters. Some types people can suffer through for a long time others take you down fast.

A lot of it is down to diet.

Yeah. Even many doctors will say that too.

I’d bet money of this apparent growth is increased detection vs increased prevalence or incidence.

I really suspect that too. Especially when I've seen a lot more older people just live with really messed up bowel issues.

A good number of these are increased because of detection. Austism and Bipolar both come to mind. Since people started to write about other people there have been examples that sound a lot like both. Some like Diabetes are mainly behavioral. They eat like that.
A lot though are also just more people are living longer through things that would have been a quicker death sentence previously.
God I remember seeing in the 90's more people who were clearly depressed some probably clinically (i.e. they're brain chemistry just hates them) and just tried to ignore it.
