      Many are looking to changes in the food supply for answers. Increased consumption of processed foods, processed meats and foods packaged in plastic are all possible, not proven, contributors…….Did the quality of food improve over the years ? Spraying/using pesticides ? Food industry says: not proven but it’s a fact that our profit has increased.

      Also fyi there is research out there showing microplastics are causing colon cancers due to the small plastics becoming trapped inside of the colon similar to how asbestos became trapped in the lungs.

      a plant base diet is high in fiber and prevents colon cancer. stop eating red meat. stop listening to the government

      Ultra processed foods people stay away from them, which is difficult because everything is ultra processed

      Diagnosed with microscopic colitis in my late 20s. Get a colonoscopy every 3-5 years now. If you can, def get checked. So glad I did it

      Two people I know had someone close to them diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer this week. They’re both around 30 years old. Now this.

      I’m not generally a hypochondriac but I feel like I’m probably dying of colon cancer right now.

      The story hints at environmental causes, particularly food chain. There’s plenty of evidence that points to the nitrates found in processed meats being far more carcinogenic than was thought for years. And also that the loophole for „nitrate-free“ labeling misleads a lot of people into thinking that certain cold cuts might be safer to eat when, in fact, we know that natural sources of nitrates are just as carcinogenic as artificial sources of nitrates and that „nitrate-free“ meats actually have a lot of highly carcinogenic nitrates.

      How many five-dollar footlongs did the average 40-year-old consume in the early 2000s, thinking that it was an easy way to eat fresh and healthy food?

      Microplastics and Teflon-based „forever chemicals,“ like PTFE, PFOA and the thousand-plus varieties thereof, could certainly be factors as well, but nitrates are directly linked to intestinal and colorectal cancers.

      Just had my colonoscopy. Prep was way less of a hassle than I expected

      Alcohol, red meat, simple carbohydrates, colon cancer, the things America are made out of

      I really need to quit putting off getting my colonoscopy scheduled…

      What were the previous leading causes of cancer deaths and have those rates gone down or is it purely an increase in colon cancer?

    18. CruisinJo214 on

      Weird silver lining to my autoimmune disease. I have Ulcerative Colitis…. I’ve had 4 colonoscopies in 6 years and now have them every other year… colon cancer isn’t gonna be my issue.

      Alright so this is bad and I see a lot of people blaming chemicals in our food. I think having some additional data will help pinpoint this issue better like how does this compare to Europe? Is Colon Cancer rising at the same rate? What is in their diet or in our diet that differs and does that account for the difference (think fiber and other dyes)? How has exposure to microplastics and PFAS correlated with this rise?

      My brother died from colon cancer in 2020. He was 42. A friend of mine in his mid-30s was recently diagnosed with stage 4.
      I had a colonoscopy a few years ago. Due for another check.

      Hooray! This means we cured heart disease, right?

      [https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/common.html](https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/common.html)

      That is for 2025 and has colon cancer deaths well behind lung cancer.

      And considering that it is really uncommon for men to get breast cancer, you can probably argue that breast cancer is technically in front of colon cancer. Women are ~1.8x as likely to die from breast cancer than colon cancer.

      And considering that women can’t get prostate cancer, that is probably really ahead of colon cancer as well. Men are 24% more likely to die from prostate cancer than colon cancer.

      If someone in your family had a cancer at age like, 50, you need to take tests starting at 30-40. That’s what’s recommended by the doctors

      Directly linked to ultra-processed „foods“ and sugar I’d wager?

      Maybe time for some regulation? Though I think people have the right to put whatever they want in their bodies

    28. owen__wilsons__nose on

      I’d love to see a correlation between PFAS increase and colon cancer rates. Wouldn’t shock me if theres a link

      I’m 36m. I had a colonoscopy a few years ago due to some stomach issues – totally clean.

      Started getting more issues this last year. After much arguing, my gastro agreed to do another one.

      They found 4 large pre cancerous polyps. The gastro was completely flabbergasted. He said I’m way off the charts for how fast they grew – by the literature in the top 0.1% of growth speed. Would certainly have progressed to cancer within the next year or two.

      There is definitely something bad going on. The models for this stuff will need to be thrown out. People probably need to be getting scoped in their 30s.
