What do you expect when 95% of the items at the grocery store are GMO or contain factory made vegetable oils that don’t process properly in our cells. Plus pollution, chemicals in makeup, lotions, soaps, clothing, etc. almost everything gives us a little cancer.
Blame the plastics before you blame the GMOs. Endocrine disrupters, “forever chemicals”. There is so much plastic in the environment its going to be our ages mark in the fossil record and I am serious not maling a joke or euphemism. We are eating drinking and even breathing plastic particles because its everywhere.
Life gives us a little cancer. One major “cause” of modern increases in cancer is the fact that we’ve become so good at preventing death from other things. Childhood vaccination, antibiotics, better hypertension screening and early intervention, all of these things that prevent death make it much more likely that you’ll simply live long enough to get some kind of cancer.
That’s sound reasoning, but refuted by the fact that cancer cases are inexplicably rising in young people. Specifically along the digestive tract; esophagus, stomach, rectum, and colon cancers.
I’m sure that all-cause death being generally lower factors into it, but it doesn’t explain why younger people are getting cancer at rates almost double what they were just 25 years ago
Excellent point. I’ll be interested to see epidemiological studies confirming how much of that increase in young people is diet and the increase in obesity vs. environmental.

Oh yea the plastics are wrapping most of the food and drinks, it’s everywhere!
