No mystery at all.

Eat lots of fruit and vegetables and less fried food and stay away from sweet drinks.

Daily aerobic excercise.(Excersise is the key to long life, IMO)

The gender-deranged probably have a higher rate of it because... you know.

My wife had a colonoscopy about a month ago. He said the secret to avoiding colorectal cancer is to avoid bread and sugar.

Processed foods. Fried foods. Ingredients you can’t pronounce without a dictionary. That’s why there’s cases more now days.

Oh well... such is life.

Eat healthy, exercise, stay away from Antifa and lefties, vote conservative.

People die every day from a myriad of disease, accidents, and illnesses... and of course natural causes and old age.

Life is never guaranteed... only the ramifications are, from the choices you make while going through life. Don’t make stupid choices or gamble with your health. You just might live longer.

And remember... Life is what you make from it, not what you make of it.

I finally broker down at age 67 3 years ago and had a colonoscopy. Doc said it's clear with no polyps and to have another in 10 years.

The prep was the worst part, the procedure was easy 'cuz you're put under.

Diet (fiber) and using your intestine the way God intended helps a lot.

Don’t they keep pushing up the age to begin getting screened?

If they aren’t diagnosed they stand a greater chance of dying.

I’m curious as to how many homosexuals are included in the stats or if they even check that.

If diagnosed at a young age, it’s all about genetics.

It doesn’t matter how much that person exercises or eats right.

The people I knew who died young from cancer, including colon cancer, in their 30’s and 40’s were in good physical shape (except for the cancer).

I’ve heard cancer cases are increasing among younger people because of how they carry their cell phones. Girls stuff them in their bras and get breast cancer, or people carry them in their back pockets, which is close to, well, you know.

Easy to figure out. After the AIDS pandemic of the early 90’s people stopped anal sex. But since then younger generations have not been so afraid. Those counties are high in gay men. I bet Miami beach is right up there in the top 5.

I got my blood pressure down from 140/90+ to easily below 128/80 and my LDL from a high of 139 down to 104 in five months by doing the following:

1) Vigorous aerobic exercise four times a week running roughly 50 minutes on treadmill or outdoors averaging 8.50 minute miles over roughly 6 miles. This has helped with energy too.

2) No caffeine.

3) Good protein (salmon, chicken breast, lean pork chops, eggs, no-fat milk), Good fat (almonds, cashews, olive oil for cooking and cold first press olive oil on stuff I eat, avocados, almond milk, low saturated foods.

4) Carbohydrates of fruit, veggies (preferably green ones like broccoli, brussel sprouts, and spinach), and whole grain breads, oatmeal, bran shredded wheat cereals, etc.

5) NO sugar of any kind.

6) LOW LOW LOW sodium for the blood pressure.

I have not been this healthy in years and I’m 56.

The toughest thing to do was getting my daily sodium intake down to around 500 mg or about half of the daily recommended amounts due to high blood pressure. EVERYTHING has WAY TOO MUCH SALT in it.

My treat are cashews, peanut butter (Smuckers All Natural Chunky), fibre crackers, Anjou pears, hard and crisp red delicious apples, etc.

For sweetener, I use Truvia and it works well.

Curcumin & IP6 are both safe, and may help people who are sick or at high risk.

***********************************************************
I’m 78 near 79 and have had 2 colonoscopies with zero polyps with one tech saying my colon was as smooth as a babies. I love comfort food. Pizza, mac and cheese, cheeseburgers, fries, baked ziti, meatball parm subs. I do like fruit and have some daily. My favorite drink is Raspberry Lemonade. My vitals are great my weight has not changed by more than 5 lbs in the past 50 yrs and I am not on any medication.

My whole point in detailing this is to say I think genetics have a whole lot more to do with health than diet.

Unsulfured black strap molasses does the trick too.

The diet and exercise is good, but not always sufficient. My virtuous Dutch father-in-law did all that and more, and was in otherwise great shape, but both his parents died of colon cancer and he had it early and passed away in his early 50s.
