    Eat. fiber. Cut saturated fat intake from cheese. Stop eating so much carcinogenic animal product. Stupid reactionary memes about your cheese addiction and poor diet will not unfuck your body or make your diet any less stupid.

        A valid criticism, and I can’t knock solid information. People should be mindful of the amount of calories they are getting from cheese, as being overweight definitely will exacerbate colon cancer & cardiovascular disease even if it would otherwise be neutral or benefitial. The hormonal effects can also be no bueno for prostate or breast cancer.

        Of course, I have motives beyons health to advocate away regardless, but I’ll be mindful of avoiding any non-factual talking points. Kudos.

    It’ll be interesting to see if we can find more than a correlation. This ought to be a polymarket bet… But mine would be on either ultra processed foods or microplastics.

      My money is on plastics. This generation is exactly the one that saw a huge shift happen. Glass bottles to plastic bottles, cardboard takeout containers to plastic containers, metal plumbing to plastic plumbing. You literally go to the store and buy vegetables and they come wrapped in plastic. Even frozen vegetables used to come in boxes. Now? Plastic. Milk carton? How about milk plastic? It’s literally everything. Everything is plastic, and it all started kicking off for Gen X.

      More than likely the ultra processed foods. So much shit added that other countries ban because it’s carcinogenic but not in the USA because it’s cheap and makes the line go up. Think it was a documentary that included the Oreos CEO who refused to eat their own product.

        I saw a video where they talked about a bunch of studies about ultra processed foods, and the top 3 worst foods for health were (iiirc)

        1. Processed meats like bacon and hotdogs
        2. Sugary drinks
        3. Sugary baked goods (think this included oreos and snack cakes etc)

        Those 3 were like 99% of the danger of processed foods.

          1. Yeah, sulfates and various preserving materials aren’t good long term. One of those cases of very modest consumption. Though bacon is practically everywhere now.
          2. I wonder if it’s sugar in general or HFCS. I have a feeling it’s the later given its plethora of negative health qualities.
          3. Same with if it’s HFCS or not related into it.

          The most dangerous processed foods are also made so cheap and thus easier to consume.

    The new recommended age to start getting routine checks for colon cancer is 35. Go get your ass tickled once a year and it just might save your life. Colon cancer is one of the deadliest cancers but also one of the easier ones to detect and beat with a full recovery if you catch it early…

      Plus you can pay to get a finger in your ass and it’s legitimately for your health! You can ask for more but some doctors charge extra.

      Its not even that bad. Time the prep right and schedule the hose job for the afternoon and it is basically one and a half annoying days and a nice nap.

    Rich boomers really going extra trying to eliminate the competition, especially with the shortage of 13 year olds and subsequent generations being more protective parents.

      Boomers dont die until their 90s and 100s. Countries like South Korea and Japan have to introduce government-assisted suicides or they would literally go extinct
