A doctor is speaking up about the surge in cancer cases among young people - revealing 'every new patient' that comes to his clinic is under 45 years old.
North Carolina's Duke University oncologist Dr Nicholas DeVito says he and his colleagues have experienced a complete demographic switch in recent years.
Based on what he's seeing everyday, talking to patients on the ground and analyzing the data, he blames the rise of junk food diets.
Nearly 75 percent of food consumed in the US is considered ultra-processed and it is teeming with additives and potentially harmful ingredients.
Numerous studies have found an association between a high ultra-processed foods (UPFs) diet and more than 30 conditions, including multiple cancers, and an early grave.
...
The physician wrote for STAT News: 'The desire to protect Americans from substances that cause cancer and other diseases should transcend party affiliation and political motivation to overcome industrial lobbying efforts.
...
Between 1990 and 2019, cases of cancer in young people across the globe increased by 79 percent and deaths rose 28 percent.
The US has the sixth highest rate of early-onset cancers - disease in people under 50 - with 87 cases per 100,000 people younger than 50 years old.
And studies project diagnoses of early-onset cancers will rise by 31 percent and deaths will rise by 21 percent by 2030.
Cancers increasing the fastest include throat and prostate cancers. Early-onset cancers with the highest mortality include breast, tracheal (windpipe), lung, stomach and colon.
...
Dr DeVito wrote: 'I hope to have a long career in oncology and eventually practice in an era where the US has turned the tide against early-onset gastrointestinal cancers and few, if any, of my patients are under age 50.'

We did eat junk food in the 60s. It was probably not as big part of our diet as for many people today. It also was not made with the same additives.
Look at a bag of a national brand of corn chips. The plain ones have three ingredients : corn oil, and salt. As soon as you get a flavored one ( like cheese flavor) , it has about 20 ingredients, the other 17 of which are bad for you.
I do too. Yeah the food is gross, but the sudden surge is most likely covid fake vax related.
There are things called "whole foods" stores, but I do not know much about them.
ALL grains.
Yes, big difference, health wise. But, we made other changes, too. No sugar, either.
I guess it depends where you live. It might be you have to drive further to find good products.
In Europe you are closer to the food source-distance is less, you can have fresh food close by. Not in the US where we have long distances between cities and a consolidation of the food industry ( how many big cities have local dairies? Meat packers? Even bakeries?). Our food has to be able to travel long distances. I heard that in the UK and Europe, they don’t refrigerate eggs, unlike the US. They also inject the chickens there with antibiotics, that is verboten in the US.
Stay with things like plain potato chips and corn chips- they have the least ingredients. The various flavors use fake colors and flavors, including MSG.
Most grocery stores, including Walmart, have organic options. Might not be perfect, but is a heck of a lot better than the bottom of the barrel eggs, meats, etc at the lowest price point. You have to spend more money, but I think it’s worth it.
One interesting experiment is to go to a Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Central Market, or something like that and look at the body shapes of the people shopping there versus the body shapes of those shopping at the lower end stores. The differences are pretty drastic. Probably there are lots of other lifestyle factors in play as well, but food choice is definitely one of them.
On YouTube, type in Iodine and cancer.
After watching that, look up cancer rates for US vs Japan.
Folks in Japan eat a lot of fish ... which contains Iodine.
“You need to give them time for the recalls to happen.”
It’s not just the fact that it is unsafe to push them through that fast -
It’s the question of WHY they pushed them through that fast.
I can only think of one reason: $$$.
What’s the point of engineering a fake pandemic if you have to wait 10 years to sell the fake cure?
. They also inject the chickens there with antibiotics, that is verboten in the US.
That’s to avoid salmonella. That’s why you don’t have to refrigerate eggs in Europe.
“Not even Kamala Harris’ biggest fans can say what the flip-flopping VP stands for”
That’s easy. Stick your finger in the wind. There you go.
Tell us please.
Another issue RFK Jr is right on and speaking truth to power.
BOLO for “USDA organic” without any other cert. Since new rules were in place, it means U Su*ka Dis Ain’t. (they allow gmos).
Or find a way to mail order, maybe with others?
My wife and I socialize with exactly two of them - a nice, low key, American couple from Florida who spend the summers here.
Exactly! If I don’t trust drugs until they’ve been out for ten years, I’m certainly not trusting a rushed (so-called) vaccine!
