And highly processed foods?
Nitrates are a huge concern and linked to colon cancer at this point. In basically any preserved lunch meat even if "nitrate free" where celery salt is added and usually creates more nitrates than the nitrate added stuff. https://www.who.int/news-room/questions-and-answers/item/cancer-carcinogenicity-of-the-consumption-of-red-meat-and-processed-meat
This is so hard for me to accept in NJ; deli meat is a way of life around here!
Grew up in dairy land where lunchmeat and beef were just everywhere. Both my grandmothers died of colon cancer. I've been vegetarian over 13 years and will never go back.
The industry calls it "garbage feeding."
Don't worry, they view us very similarly to how they view other "livestock."
They'll just use fancier words when they're aiming it at humans because a lot of us know how to read, so they need to obfuscate it when it comes to us.
Food producers will go so far out of their way to avoid natural ingredients and preserve shelf life.
But they’ll be sure to reduce shelf life for produce like eggs and dairy, gotta profit so even sell what used to be trash.
No, it's obviously the guys and libtards.
Screening is a normal thing these days...
This is compared to 95 and earlier.
People still had cancer then, they weren't just finding out till later. Now we find out early and do treatments.
We'd also need to compare general mortality rates. Dying from a car accident with undiagnosed cancer "hides" the cancer.
This is a good data point, but we need more
This would make sense if it would take 20 years for cancer to develop.
The mortality rate from car accidents has been continually dropping.
Considering that 20 years ago, a person had a 1/3 chance of getting cancer over their lifetime, any increase among younger people is concerning
the guy above you is saying that 1/3 chance of being DIAGNOSED with cancer is not the same as 1/3 chance of having cancer.
(haven't read this particular study)
Most studies take those kinds of things into account
I'm certain the study took this into account. Usually people doing studies aren't idiots.
As an under-50 with cancer:
Yyyyyyep.
One of my closest friends got testicular cancer in his early 30s. Thankfully, he survived. His testicle did not.
That’s why you have two!
He said it only made the other one more potent.
So, if your dad died of colon cancer and you see blood in your stool…. Ya might wanna keep an eye on that.
That must be some kind of record as far as incongruous article photos go!
Those fuckers look almost DELIRIOUSLY happy next to an article about two of them being more likely to get cancer! 😄
