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.'

First chart, at link, says it all (timing).
And, they’ll use many excuses to cover for these rapid onset turbo cancers.
I knew a girl who’s family was well off until this girl’s sister got cancer. The parents spent everything trying to find the cause and cure. This girl ate tons of fruits and veggies, never ate anything from the middle grocery store aisles.
Come to find out, she should have washed her veggies and fruit. It was the stuff sprayed on them either pesticides or keep fresh longer chemicals. They found out too late and she died and the family was broke.
Probably, but it would be expensive.
We garden and raise animals. It’s expensive, but no other good options I can think of. If you have to travel you’re kind of stuck.
A person would have to leave their firearms behind. That could be quite a hit for some people.
Wine, in France, has some of the strictest processing rules, in the world.
Only verified grapes, from said vintage and chateau’s/regions, are acceptable. No crossing, or, mixing of grapes, nor any ‘filler’ grapes, as allowed in USA domestic wines.
I wanted to know what “bioengineered food ingredient” meant. I started researching it. It’s not good, almost wish I didn’t. I’m glad RFK jr is on our side now. Maybe something can be done to get all the crap out of the food.
I don’t have proof, but I’ll bet the FDA is working with big pharma to get us sick, and therefore use big medical to “fix” everything. I wouldn’t put it past them.
Sounds like BS to me. Anytime I start hearing this ultra processed food crap, I know some socialist anti-free market government initiative is about to be proposed.
There have been cheap processed foods for many decades. It’s more likely microplastics in the body, or other chemicals in our water supplies etc
in the very early 80s I was stuck in the copenhegan airport for alomst 20 hours cause there were some plane issues or something, but I picked up this book (which I saw 9 months later in US bookstores)

but the premise was that both the US and Soviet Union had been contaminating high end luxury goods/foods with cancer causing agents. The idea I think was that if you weaken/kill the rich it is easier to destroy the country.
I have thought a lot about this in 40 years, and I do not think they are targeting the rich.
Don’t forget Bill Gates’ hand in all of these food additives.
I think he’s the one making bank off of the fruit/produce preservative, Apeel.
How “apeeling” is that?
Bingo!
Exactly what I said, upthread.
I agree. But the salient difference in 2021-2022 was not food additives, pesticides or carbs. Those have been an aggravating issue for many years. It was something else.
I have learned in these past years that I cannot trust anything from "experts", "authorities", or "officials."
It appears no one is able to tell the truth anymore due to fealty to their employers, their manager, their boss, the government, whoever.
Get your food as close to its natural state as possible. Basic cooking isn't hard. Learn how to do it.
And stop eating fast food, processed crap from the store, and soda.
I heard about that too. I’ve been calling this stuff Frankenfood.
I do that too. I have this app, Yuka, what’s in your food. It’s handy, not fool proof.
Are these companies actually trying to poison people to death? I mean, geez, the more I hear this of stuff, the more I wish I could pack up and go to some other spot on the planet. I wonder if food on Hawaii is any better? There’s a chance I may go to live my oldest son out there next year.
Gotcha!
I’ve noticed the same thing for many years. There are foods I used to eat regularly that now I cannot even stomach.
“I wonder if food on Hawaii is any better?”
It’s way worse.
Yeah, it was rather illustrating how a ‘doctor’ couldn’t cite anything whatsoever about clot shot status.
But in the end the factors are all rather obvious, despite a glaring lack of institutional scientific interest...
