Why Are Young Adults Facing a Cancer Surge? The Alarming Truth

Colorectal surgeon Dr. Frank Frizelle's unsettling experience with young cancer patients sparked a deeper investigation into rising early-onset cancers globally. Data reveals a staggering 79% increase in diagnoses among individuals under 50 since 1990, highlighting a concerning trend across multiple countries. Despite advancements in detection, the rise can't be solely attributed to improved screening; lifestyle changes, environmental factors, and potential prenatal exposures may be at play. Young adults, often healthier than previous generations, are now facing unprecedented cancer risks, prompting urgent calls for targeted research and tailored treatment approaches.

What lifestyle changes do you think could help reduce cancer risks in younger populations?

Not sure whether I was techinically correct in my usage of those terms, what I was trying to say is more cases of cancer doesn't mean cancer is increasing, it could just mean you're finding more of it that would otherwise go undetected.

Makes sense.

Direct example is positivity when testing for covid. I was surprised to find many areas in NYC testing at over 50%, at times 70% or even 90% covid positive.

Meaning when testing that % of people were found to be positive.

I never saw rates like that in India. Dharavi at the height of the pandemic measured at around 25%.

The Americans were testing far more than we were. The interesting thing with NYC is the positivity figures continued to rise and then suddenly crashed in June to under 20%.

Me & my wife took Covid vaccination but our kid didn't have any vaccination because of all the news of untested vaccines and all. We never got infected.
My parents & my uncle & aunt also didn't get any Covid although they got vaccinated.
My extended family of 14 people all got Covid due to my BIL who was working in MP infected them.
In those 14 there were 2 little children. We got really scared hearing about it then but they all took precautions of isolation and got vaccinated later.
Me & my wife didn't even take the booster doses.
We 7 people were fortunate to escape from Covid.

Not true.

Today's young adults are weaker than their parents at the same age.

Just a myth. Back then reaching adulthood itself was a challenge.

These days every physician prescribes antibiotics and steroids (yeah, average Joe doesn't know it) for common cold.

Being able to live longer was never been about being fitter.

As Peter Attia nicely put in his book 'Outlive', more and more people spend last decade of their lives as what they can call--as handicapped. They can't walk far or climb a few stairs.

For younger gen, these folks can't walk a kilometer without running out of breath or lift something off the floor without breaking their backs.

Modern medication allows you to live longer than before. But health? Oh boy, you'll have to earn it yourself.

No. AFAIK, Microwaves (good quality) are safe, for the most part.

Point number 3 is so wrong please don’t do that .

spreading by Cosmetic giants to boost sell of Sun scream, Lotion etc. etc. and than start selling Vitamin D Tablet for .. and than starts vitamin C pill for ... and than vicious circle keep going and by every passing years each year 1 tablet keep adding to your daily diet for BP, Heart, Lung, Gut etc. etc. ... long live western pharma lobby....

Some people here in India having mindset that whatever is said or push (agenda) by western researchers is legit, scientifically researched with iron clad guarantee .... I didn't say they all are wrong but no need to accept anything everything

Not true.

because their parents have less exposer to Allopathy Doctors, Allopathy Medicines (& Corporate Discounted Health Checkups) in their child hood & young life stage.

I think title of this post should say heart attack instead cancer. I hear lot of stories about sudden heart attacks - not sure about exact technical jargon but people instantly die. Also observed this rate is very high after corona vaccination.

Even i took vaccine, but only with heavy heart - Initially i was against the DNA change of my cells by applying this untested vaccine to my body. But thankful to my body , till date it is working - and am living

Just a conspiracy type thingy..as expected when things are not backed by evidence. Will appreciate if you can support your claim with actual genuine evidence . Vitamin d is cancer protective on the other side uvb cause skin cancers. Since the topic is about preventing cancers, I mentioned the preventable part. Those people perished because they had no access to modern medicine..those were the glory days when people used to die of diarrhoea.

If a physician prescribed steroids and antibiotics for common cold then it's the fault of that particular person being incompetent or greedy not the problem with modern medicine...you can go legal on that physician. Otherwise it's pure generalization and nothing else

No. AFAIK, Microwaves (good quality) are safe, for the most part.

Microwave not Even theoretically can cause cancer.

 

[TEUser2K1]

Go back to 1990 and you will see fewer cancer cases.

Late 1980s, every single family in our neighborhood had at least one cancer incidence.

Just a conspiracy type thingy..as expected when things are not backed by evidence. Will appreciate if you can support your claim with actual genuine evidence .

Cosmetics, for eg., hair color which is now widely used even by youth contain Phthalates which is doubted for cancer and hormone disruption, same chemical is present in many cosmetic products. This is just one of such chemical.

Eating From Plastic Takeout Containers Can Increase Heart Failure Risk, Study Finds

Eating from plastic takeout containers can increase heart failure risk – study

Study, adding to rising evidence of plastic-linked health risks, points to gut biome changes as a cause of heart failure

www.theguardian.com

"Plastic can contain any of about 20,000 chemicals, and many of them, such as BPA, phthalates and Pfas, present health risks. The chemicals are often found in food and food packaging, and are linked to a range of problems from cancer to reproductive harm."

Without doubt women's hormonal health might be seriously getting impacted by chemicals involved, but if they highlight that, there will be huge attention towards the crisis. That means losses or reduced profits for corporations, so here we are.

Corticoids, which are normally prescribed for regular fever, cold, are steroids. I don't need to tell you that. You know more than me. This is a new trend though, in my observations, this practice wasn't usual before COVID.

I don't have a beef with modern medicine. Love my vitamin D chewables.

Going back to my main point...

Young generation, thanks to its,

1. white-collar jobs
2. inactivity
3. stress
4. exposure to hormone blockers like plastics, teflon, deodrants etc

has become weaker compared to their parents at the same age.

There is enough data available on this. Check the news posted above by TEUser2K1

I wasn't talking about living longer. Secondly, I'm not a fan of living longer in a handicapped state from the assistance of modern medication while practicing unhealthy habits and becoming a drag to families and societies.

because their parents have less exposer to Allopathy Doctors, Allopathy Medicines (& Corporate Discounted Health Checkups) in their child hood & young life stage.

Not just allopathy, but people had less exposure to everything. The only actual medication they had access to was Govt one, and that was always Allopathy, unless a Unani jadi booti tent happened to set up a camp in the village that month.

Believe it or not, Ayurveda is hip now but nobody talked about it before the 2000s.

2000-2005 saw the Renaissance of Ayurveda, trust me, I was a first generation fanatic.

Currently no indication for corticosteroids in any of those... except in severe Covid. I am also not in favor of living longer with ill health.
Regarding ayurveda, if fanatics are to be believed it was here for thousands of years, atleast we have ayurvedic medical colleges for over a hundred years. But the sad reality is that despite being in existence for so long, it failed to make an impact on public health or health care in general. There are well over 25000 disease/conditions, but not a single one can be cured using ayurveda.. this is from the point of real scientific evidence. You will find people getting cured even for stage 4 cancers in facebook and youtube comment sections, or techenclave itself..but actual evidence is nil. The basics in ayurveda itself is not in sync with human physiology or anatomy..vatha pitha kapha itself is an error 404..so it's just another pseudoscience. On the contrary there was a drastic improvement in public health, life expectancy etc with the entry of scientific medicine. The trend is seen in all countries.

 

[Neotheone]

so it's just another pseudoscience

While ayurveda has clearly failed to keep up with modern methods, it is probably a little arrogant to call it pseudoscience in a broad stroke. There are approximate solutions that can be arrived at through heuristics and that is arguably what Ayurveda went by in its prime - which was reasonable in its time. It is better to call for the practitioners to become rigorous and adopt better methods so that they can better tests their heuristics, discard the useless ones and keep the ones that work. Off course it wont happen for many reasons though.

It cannot happen sadly because the fundamentals are all wrong..it's simply not compatible with human body or how it works.. someone who can science Will not touch it...

Have you heard of use of heuristics in applied science and engineering ?

If you keep an open mind, you should be able to see that Ayurveda was relevant in its times, and the methods used could have solved some problems, which can be tested through modern statistics.

 

[TEUser2K1]

Only misfortune happened to Ayurveda is that it came out of India.

Tu Youyou (China), researched traditional medicine, got Nobel Prize for drug treating malaria. That too on a medicinal plant which grows wildly in India, also used in Ayurveda.
So, the problem is not with Ayurveda or traditional medicines, but how resources are utilized by us. And some of those who blindly believe woke science, blindly slurping it up from affluent spoiled west.
China is far advanced country, their traditional medicine usage is high, heard the same about Japan (need to verify).

Can lead to drug discovery..will get integrated into modern medicine if found useful .

Part of drug discovery, artemesinin is used in modern medicine as an antimalarial . Proof that you You don't need to swallow the whole plant and a thousand chemicals contained in it. just the active ingredient at the right amount and formulation is what is required.

I know, no need of preaching.

This plant is toxic to humans, well known to Ayurveda or traditional medicine practitioners. Ayurveda and traditional medicine have several methods to purify such plants for treatments for humans, also depending on ailment.
Nobody asked you to eat it like an animal.
I know you already know this, but your discussions always go blindly one-sided on purpose, tooting own horn. So, no further discussions.

just the active ingredient at the right amount and formulation is what is required.

Again what is the point here and regurgitating existing information ?
Just finding that active ingredient from a traditionally Chinese used medicinal plant, which also used in Ayurveda may have helped millions of humans, thus earning her and that country Nobel Prize.

In alternate reality, here in India only greed, copying ideas from others exists together with nihilistic self disrespect.

Wondering what gets purified without knowing the active ingredient...still zero evidence and only noise. Would be nicer if you can carry on without getting personal.
