Well there's your problem. Don't run, drink beer with friends, smoke socially and you'd happily get to retirement! 🤭
Perhaps overconsumption of protein?
Maybe in the form that protein is consumed. If it’s processed protein like bars or drinks, or other forms of packaged and processed foods it might be an issue.
Same thought i had. A lot of men nowadays eat almost no fibre, which is very important in preventing colon cancer.
How does fiber prevent colon cancer?
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10488173/
"Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of mortality for cancer in industrialized countries. The link between diet and CRC is well-known, and presumably CRC is the type of cancer which is most influenced by dietary habits. In Western countries, an inadequate dietary intake of fibers is endemic, and this could be a driving factor in the increase of CRC incidence."
Fiber prevents colon cancer primarily by increasing stool bulk and speeding up transit time, which reduces the contact between harmful carcinogens and the colon lining. It also acts as food for beneficial gut bacteria, fermenting into short-chain fatty acids like butyrate that reduce inflammation and promote cancer cell death.
That's why I also drink Metamucil twice a day. Stuff is fantastic for keeping everything moving. And I eat my fruits and veggies, but nothing wrong with a little supplementation.
Totally! And whether you eat a lot of plant fibre, you may not get enough soluble fibre, which metamucil gives you.
Naa, humans consume a lot more fiber than in the past. Salted meat was basically one of the main things we were able to store for long periods of time. The one thing that has changed? Overeating and sedentary lifestyle.
I get that i said nowadays but the comparison is irrelevant because whether they're consuming more or less than in the past, it's still not enough. Also a lot has changed, including capitalism taking away our time, thereby forcing a lot of people into convenient, cheap options.
Most people in the past worked just to be able to eat. It's way easier to get food now than ever. This isn't a capitalism thing, this is consumerism and being to lazy to cook home food. It's way cheaper to eat grocery store bought food you prep and cook for yourself than it is to eat fast food. That shit is expensive as fuck.
The ever increasingly pressure capitalism is putting on people is causing a lot of issues.
People are overworked, overstressed just to make through the end of the month and that causes a lot of issues. It's reductive to blame people not cooking solely on being lazy.
No it is not

The Netherlands works some of the shortest hours in the world, has some of the best healthcare, and also has a rise in CRC. This is not a capitalism bad argument. This is a change in our society, and potentially a "microplastics are everywhere now". This has nothing to do with capitalism bad.
I was talking about your "people are lazy" comment, not the colorectal cancer rise in men.
Distance running has been scientifically linked to an increase in colon cancer rates, and CrossFit could easily be similarly unhealthy as far as inducing extra stress on the intestine by being an activity that can lead to dehydration while violently shaking things around in there more than what could be considered "normal."
