The REAL Reason Younger People Are Dying of Colon Cancer

Nobody knows for sure why colon cancer numbers are rising in young people. Sedentary lifestyle, overweight and obesity, smoking, heavy alcohol use, low-fiber, high-fat diets or diets high in processed meats, and other environmental factors have all been associated with the disease.

People who don't or no longer work seem to eat microwaveable meals or even what my mother called "convenience foods" back in the 1960s (hamburger helper, or other such meals made from a box with added proteins). I've run into a lot of people, including retirees and stay-at-home Moms who call THOSE "home cooked meals". That, or eat in fast food restaurants. I'm weird.

What worries me, Dr. Hansen, is that no one seems to want to talk about health anymore. On sports radio, of all places, they were talking about this. Growing up in the 80's-90's we got nutrition hammered into our little skulls, some of it dubious (food pyramid), but at least we were told to move and not to eat junk food. The radio hosts were saying they ask their kids about nutrition and good health, and they have no clue, no interest. They aren't hearing it at school. They don't see it on TV, or hear it on the radio (OK, I'm showing my age). It really worries me. My father grew up in the 60's and ate a typical 60's meat and potatoes diet, probably without a lot of processed food. Now he has diabetes. I grew up in the 80's with fruit loops and TV dinners, which we usually didn't get because we couldn't afford them - but I'm trying to improve my health because I'm pre-diabetic.

So, after watching this video, here’s my big question: if this is all accurate, shouldn’t 98% of the world’s population have colon cancer already?

Shouldn’t everyone from asia, india, and almost every single person in the united states have cancer already?

Just because one has risk factors, even all of them, does not mean they're GOING to get it. Google absolute vs relative risk, or understanding risk factor percentages.

People could be taking fiber or antioxidant supplements which would lower their risk for overt cancer. Like the Doc said that keeps it at bay (the damaged cancerous cells).

You say high fructose corn syrup is worst, because it's a 50:50 ratio of glucose and fructose. Which doesn't make sense because: 1) ordinary sucrose is also a fixed 50:50 ratio, therefore should be as bad 2) actually the ratio in HIGH FRUCTOSE corn syrup is skewed towards fructose, which is more detrimental to the body, and that's why HFCS is considered worse (as far as I understand it)

[@mgx9383]

Actually I was wrong about fructose content in HFCS. The most commonly used variants are 55 (percentage of fructose) and 42. So confusingly HFCS can have less fructose than glucose. All in all it isn't a significant difference from sucrose, so I don't get why HFCS gets singled out as exceptionally bad. (while agreeing that both are bad)

[@Luke2777F]

I should point out a mistake here. Smoking point in oils is not the same as the point of break down. Just because you see smoke it doesn’t mean that the oil is being hydrogenated or oxidized or becoming carcinogenic. Olive oil has a lower smoking point than other oils but it’s one of the most stable ones. It also has antioxidants. The only oils that cause cancer are the ones that are used and reused like in restaurants. To know more see Adam Ragusea video on this.

I had to question that as well. I’ve been frying in Extra Virgin Olive Oil for years and it seems like if any Trans Fat Carcinogens come about due to the high temperature like you said the antioxidants in the Olive Oil should offset any harmful effects.
