Summary
A global study reveals a rising trend of bowel cancer diagnoses among adults under 50, with the highest annual increases in countries like New Zealand, Chile, Puerto Rico, and England.
Experts suggest potential causes include junk food consumption, physical inactivity, and obesity.
While rates are still low compared to older populations, the trend is concerning. Young women in several countries experienced faster increases than men.
Researchers emphasize the need for innovative prevention strategies and increased awareness of early symptoms to address this global health issue.
Meat isn’t causing people to become obese, it doesn’t help, but it’s %100 not the cause. Even the article points this out, junk food and sedimentary lifestyle is. Aka potato chips, cookies, sweets and snacks. No one is eating steak 3 times a day and get fat.
I thought we were talking about bowel cancer, which definitely is linked to red meat and cured meat consumption.
This is from the article.
I put some sources above for you. Junk is junk for sure, but I was making a joke about how colon cancer is climbing during a movement to say even vegetables are bad and meat will keep you healthy.
Not sure if you’ve seen much around you, but in my area it seems to be all the rage.
Ah, I’m not saying meat in massive quantities is good for you, nothing really is. I haven’t really seen much around here that meat is healthier than veggies though. At least not since the whole Atkins diet craze a decade or so ago.
Yes over consumption of red meat and cured meats is most likely not good for you. Just like getting drunk or smoking a pack a cigarettes, or eating a bag of chips, or a bag of M&Ms
