Actor Chadwick Boseman died last year at the age of 43 from stage 4 colon cancer. The “Black Panther” star represents a troubling trend of men younger than 49 who are at an unusually high risk of dying from colorectal cancer. According to a study published in the American Journal of Cancer Research, despite the overall reduction in the cases of colorectal cancer in America, there are geographical “hot spots” where cases of this potentially deadly cancer are soaring.
June is National Men’s Health Month and it is critical that American men pay attention to their risk factors for developing cancer. This is especially important for men who live in, or grew up in, the areas identified as hot spots for colorectal cancer.
According to STAT, Black men in these areas are more likely to be diagnosed with advanced stages of colorectal cancer and are also more likely to die from it than white men. According to the study, there are 232 counties in the U.S. where men ages 20 to 49 are at increased risk of developing colorectal cancer, including Anderson County, South Carolina, where Boseman grew up.
Since the 1990’s, the rate of colorectal cancer has declined for people age 50 and older but has more than doubled among younger American adults. A recent study predicted that colorectal cancer will be the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in people ages 20 to 49 by the year 2030, says STAT.
Experts are baffled.
“We don’t know where this is coming from,” said Dr. Charles Rogers, assistant professor in the Public Health Division of the University of Utah School of Medicine whose specialty is addressing the racial inequalities in healthcare and who was the lead author in the hot spots study.

I consider that prudent advice.
I think I see what they're doing wrong...
“Maybe stop jamming stuff in there would help”
Undoubtedly true.
Just as genital warts is apparently a cause of vaginal cancer, I’m sure there is some virus being jammed up their butts that causes cancer.
Of course, you can’t mention that.
It’s the same PC refusal to talk about the elephant in the room that allowed AIDS to fester among gays.
The elephant in the room is genetic predisposition.
I thought he died at a KMart?
You know running down an isle, slipping, and hitting his head when he heard “little boy’s pants, half off.”
That’s what I was thinking.
Bad meat in the can.🙄
And you are not likely to regularly experiencing homosexual toys and play, are you?
“””The absolutely BEST sleep I have ever had in my life was when I was put asleep for both of my colonoscopies.
I wish I could like Rip Van Winkle and wake up in twenty years. Imagine how rested you’d feel”””
Michael Jackson was a strong supporter of such a regimen and it did not work out so well for him.
Prolly the soy and starbucks coffee.....
cograts on your achievements.
I noticed you wrote”5) NO sugar of any kind.”
yet you list a nmber of sugary items.
i wish peope would post clearly so no confusion that they mean no processed suagr or only naturally occuring sugar in fruits and veg. also your suagr substitute cntains regular sugar so again it’s misleading to say “5) NO sugar of any kind.”
Would these young men be the ones currently celebrating “gay pride month”?
I did Atkins some time ago. The pounds just melted off me.
And you are not gay? Right? 8>)
Yep, get off the carbs (especially refined carbs and sugar) reasonable amount of exercise and lotsa meat and veggies.
You WILL lose weight not to mention reduce blood sugar.
Only a queer would ask that question.
Do you still beat your wife?
You queer POS must have been attracted to this thread by the mention of young men in the title.
Go away fag.
I’ve heard that sugar feeds cancer
Exactly why I wrote “cured” with the quotes.
Of all the people worldwide who live to be more than 100 years old the only common denominator they have, is that they fast. Race, diet, activity,… Are secondary indicators. If you fast for 12 hours every day you’ll live long. Just watch out for those street cars when you’re crossing the street. Add prayer to fasting? Look out world!
While I am sure that your diet and exercise have a lot to do with it, I think there is another reason younger men are having this issue.
I suspect that this is happening because younger people are experimenting with bi-sexual behavior because it is being normalized as acceptable, and that was my point for my humor that upset you so.
