Adults in the United States are dying from colon and rectal cancers at an increasing rate about age 50, when they should just be beginning screenings, according to a new study from the American Cancer Society.
Since routine screening is generally not recommended for most adults under 50, the cancers found in younger adults are often in advanced stages and more deadly, said Dr. James Church, a colorectal surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.
Church, who was not involved in the new study, said he has seen this trend in death rates up close. Last year, on separate occasions, Church saw two 36-year-olds with stage IV colon cancer, he said.
In both of those patients, who had no relation to each other, the cancer spread to their livers, making it so he couldn't operate. Both died, he said. "They both had young families, both little girls, and they lost their father in one case and their mother in the other, forever, because of this nasty disease when it's advanced," Church said.
"It makes a big impact on me, and it makes me keenly interested in trying to solve this issue," he said. "Everybody in colorectal surgical circles is seeing increased incidence of colon cancer in the young, defined as younger than 50."

Do you understand when I say “we are chasing it”? We chased it from the “within 6 inches” etc. and now we are chasing it down ages. IOW, we remove “found cancers” from the total sum of all colon cancers so the proportion of deaths are in new places, younger people. The recommendation to start screening especially closely those of us with a family history is the sensible thing.
Bingo. The risk has been there all along. It has only been the last 50-75 years that as stroke and MI deaths have declined proportionally that heridible cancers have emerged. IOW, we are now keeping people with diabetes and other cardiac/vascular risk alive long enough to die from heridible cancer (Breast, prostate, ovary, colon.)
I think you mistaking association with cause. Poverty is the reason poor kids don’t wear glasses.
HPV is a known risk factor for 95% of cervical cancer cases. The virus is now carried by a quarter of adults, hence the demand all pre-adolescents be vaccinated.
Anal sex is on the rise through both heterosexual and homosexual activity. A lot more people now have that cancer causing virus in the butt area ... and we already know it is causing a rise in throat cancer.
Sex is shifting to a free for all, and this has led to a merging of STD HPV and oral PV viruses.
End result - a lot more people are infected with a cancer causing virus at both ends as a result of sexual behavior. Of course it could cause cancer in the middle somehow.
Well, if you haven’t figured out the dangers of anal intercourse, you better go to the library and take out some books on the subject.
Obviously this interests you.
Gender dysphoria resulting in young men doing to other young men that which is unnatural because they are immersed in a culture which says that which is neither normal nor natural nor moral is normal and natural and moral.
I just attended a family reunion with Mom, aunts, great uncles, etc., all in their early- and mid-90s. Perfectly healthy except for some sore joints. Minds are scary-sharp. They eat all the time and don’t obsess on “health food”. Maybe it’s good genes, but maybe it’s that they eat real food.
And maybe it’s because they never considered their rear ends as appropriate orifices for intimacy.
Who really knows?

If you don't believe that a keto diet works, why not try it for 3 months? After you get over the carb hangover (usually 1-2 weeks), you'll feel significantly better than you have in years. Study after study is showing health benefits of a keto diet. I never count calories or worry about how much I eat while on the diet and the pounds just shed off, I feel much better and my mood/hunger is far more consistent.
“The HPV virus is sexually transmitted.”
Can be(and most often is) but many contract it through “normal” life activities, it is literally everywhere.
For the record, you should eat plenty of vegetables on a keto diet. Just skip the potatoes and rice.
Know and heal your gut...the foundation of my book and health recovery...an accidental discovery.
Sadly, there are professionals harboring this knowledge, but rather than break with orthodox medicine and share, they do so behind high-priced alternative medicine clinics and behind paywalls.
Working on finishing the project...
Good luck w/your book (?)/project!
Artificially suppressed Vitamin D levels as a result of 40 years of obsessive sun screen use.
Plus, the substitution of milk and water with “juice” (water, food coloring, and high fructose corn syrup).
But I really think the sun screen might be directly linked to the colon cancer.
Johns Hopkins:
The new prescription for colon cancer prevention may soon include an afternoon in the sun followed by a tall glass of milk. Several new studies in the past year have shown that by maintaining adequate serum Vitamin D levels, individuals may successfully prevent colon cancer as well as several other internal cancers.
Very true. The wake-up time is so quick, and you don’t feel drowsy all day.
Flying pigs, huh? :)
What people to realize is that what is “low carb” is actually “normal carb”, and the diet they are used to is “high carb”.
The wife and I eat low carb, but there are still more than enough carbs in our diet, plenty of carbs.
The body cannot store protein or minerals, it stores carbs as fat. Eat plenty of proteins and minerals and those carbs are combined as a rather healthy diet. If you need more carbs, then eat them, but we get plenty of carbs because few will eat just rocks and twigs.
BINGO!
>>And there are many people who have a problem with dietary roughage with conditions such as diverticulitis. There are also those who have difficulty with gluten. However vegetables, fruits, and whole grains have very beneficial effects for the majority of people, especially when combined with healthy sources of protein.
*********************************************************
Yes, husband has diverticulitis and has found success with this diet.
You group together and characterize as good, vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. We make distinction between these three.
Vegetables are great, no question. Fruits have fructose, a form of sugar. Fruits lowest in sugar and therefore best for us are berries, and an occasional melon.
Whole grains are not essential for healthy living. If roughage levels are desired for the purpose of ease of defacation, successful results are achieved through use of extra virgin, cold-pressed coconut oil (and fish oil, MCT oil).
I will also add, for the benefit of others who may be suffering from diverticulitis: After some frightening incidents, and having to be on anti-biotics for a month at a time, we were finally blessed with a healing tip.
We began drinking several ounces of pure aloe juice (not the flavored kind) in the a.m. on an empty stomach, (and in the p.m. if needed), and it has kept us incident-free for years.
The gastro doctor remarked in his 27 year career he had never seen such a clean colon. Aloe juice is a God-send!
Congratulations, entropy! I have read about the wonderful benefits of this way of eating. I try to do this as much as I can, as well.
Agreed, and well-said, Code Toad.
