One of my friends died of colon cancer a couple of years ago. One of the things she told me is that while people are getting colon cancer way younger, the doctors are reluctant to do things such as the blood tests or colonoscopies even when they are presenting clear symptoms because “they are too young”. If this is you, advocate for yourself and switch doctors if needed. Her outcome would be very different if it had been caught before it spread to other organs.

When I was a student Montessori teacher in the late 1990s, I was disturbed to see the rise of Lunchables in the lunchboxes of my under-7 pupils. Sure, we had processed foods when I was a child, but nothing like that. Colon cancer runs in my family, but primarily in the branch that lived in Argentina, and ate grilled meat all the time. So the contributing factors you mention here are not a surprise. Thanks for addressing this alarming trend, Mic!

[@peter5.056]

Lunchables should carry a Black-Box Warning....perhaps even be considered child abuse, in the same way that packing a lunch for your kids of canned cake frosting would be. At BEST, they are taste treats for a couple times a month maximum. Kids ate that c.r.a.p. food 15 times a week!

[@johngross5224]

The fact that you mentioned it was "grilled" says a lot. Newer research is saying acrylamides, heterocyclic aromatic amines and policyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are all risk factors in various forms of cancer from your mouth to your anus. All these are formed when things are cooked in high heat and dry conditions like grilling.

[@MictheVegan]

Yeah Lunchables are basically vacuum sealed polyps waiting to happen. I also highly doubt that with the rise of products like that the processed meat staying the same stats represent the toxic load well.

[@peter5.056]

eat dense starches, and intact fatty foods if needed for caloric requirements. Whole grains, potatoes, very thoroughly cooked legumes as tolerated, add whole food fats like walnuts, ground flax, avocado if you need extra calories. Go ahead and eat your raw veggies, and cooked greens after you eat some calories dense food. You can easily eat 4000 calories a day to meet your energy needs.@@justadude4826

I was diagnosed with Stage 2 colon cancer at age 49. I had a resection surgery with the right side of my colon removed along with 35 lymph nodes, which all came back clean. I did not have chemo. It is almost 2 years later now and I see my oncologist every 3 months. I have adopted a whole food plant based diet, which my oncologist advocates and supports fully. I only wish I knew about the dangers of the standard American diet sooner. But, as my oncologist said to me, after all that has happened to me with the cancer, a good thing did happen - I have completely changed my nutrition and am also now living a more active lifestyle. I am losing weight and feel great.

Im just gonna say this: What is so mysterious about people eating literal trash every day for the whole of their lives and expecting not to get sick...

[@AlohaChips]

I think some people can get inured to how bad the food they're eating is--this has been my experience, anyway. About 6 months back I had blood tests for the first time in years and found out my total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol was so bad that even for my age (late 30s) and weight (not overweight, in fact I've teetered on underweight at points in my life) that statins were being recommended. I didn't think I had a bad diet--I haven't eaten much red meat in years, proteins for me were some tofu, and chicken/turkey with the occasional bit of pork and beef like once a year, if that. I also favored meals that had a significant vegetable element. Doc gave me the option of trying some diet changes for six months before going for meds, so I changed some habits--particularly I just straight up started eating more raw vegetables my entire meal, filling up on them with nothing but a little italian/balsalmic dressing ... and when I felt snacky, chomping down on an entire cucumber or a bowl of cherry tomatoes or carrots, etc ... that sort of thing. After 6 months of that my cholesterol is still a bit high, but it has dropped ~40 points, and I'm no longer in the range of the suggested treatment being statins, only diet/lifestyle changes. One thing I really noticed after I had being going hard on the raw vegetables for a bit was that, when I finally let myself indulge and have the kind of meal I used to completely subsist on (a lot of stir fried things in various sauces) that I found it ... startlingly oily. I was puzzled how it didn't seem like that stuff was nearly so oily before. But I really, sincerely, hadn't thought it was. With the diet change, it became a lot more obvious. Although I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who eat unhealthy AND know they're doing it (and I think they're not all as surprised to be unhealthy as you think they are, my beef-loving friend who is very heavy acknowledges his food intake isn't good VERY blatantly and fairly frequently), I think there are others who are in the margins and/or self-brainwashed going "yeah, yeah I think this is healthy enough", but the reality is they need a wake up call. Something needs to shake up their habits and what they're used to to show them the difference between actually healthy and "I think it's healthy" is waaaaay more stark than they understand. Humans are BAD at assessing long term causation and risk, just look at industrial disaster breakdowns, among many other kinds of safety-related breakdowns, and you'll hear allllll about how easily humans get complacent about minding and managing their long term risk until the results are catastrophic. Here's hoping more people wake up before they find their catastrophic health consequence is cancer.

Hi Mic, awesome video. One thing that popped to mind was vitamin d status especially for African Americans vs Africans. Someone living in Africa would most likely have better vitamin d status vs someone living in the northern hemisphere. Cancer can only develop in someone with low overall immunity such as older people generally or people with low vitamin d status. There are certainly many things in our modern world that can lower immunity even prescription and recreational drugs. Certainly younger people are a generation of people who are taking prescription drugs from childhood onward. More so than previous generations. Perhaps the increase in autoimmunity and allergies and the resulting steroid use (which definitely lowers immunity) is a major factor for these young people.

[@MictheVegan]

That is definitely a factor! This study found that black women with low vitamin D had a 40% increased risk of colorectal cancer compared to those with normal levels: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34620630/ Additionally, this study estimated that vitamin D was responsible for about 40% of the increased risk that black people have: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34620630/

Its not a mystery. Its a lack of fiber in heavily processed foods. The gut micros like to ferment fiber. The waste by product is short chain fatty acids that are used to make mucus in the colon, vagina, nasal cavity, throat, stomach, uterus, and ears. Without the fiber the micros will eat the mucus lining. Once that starts to occur the lining is open to all sorts of inflammatory substances from the weird chemicals in the food. Add on being lazy and you have a whole bunch of kids with colon cancer Fiber can be replaced by fat from meat. The micros will break them down into short chain fatty acids. It just requires huge amounts of fat. Most millenials are almost 40

It seems that those disease correlate with the amount of crop poisoning they started poring back in 1992 as a drying agent on wheat to kill it early to bring it to market early, and with the beginning of the GMO erra in the 1996 which made it possible to dump even more carcinogens on crops. Being born in the 70's I saw a huge rise in bowel diseases and food sensitivities and allergies since 1992. I do believe this is why most young people specially have a harder time staying vegan, as they have most likely lost most of their species of their microbiome that are suppose to protect them from all of these horrific bowel disease which we hardly saw in the 80's like colitis, crohn's, IBS, IBD ect... Just listen to most of the carnivore, or keto guru's and you'll see that their stories are not too far from the ex vegans. They had horrible digestion symptoms before switching to a fully carni diet.

(FYI, annual mammograms should start at age 40). It's so sad seeing someone in their late 30's present with advanced colon cancer. The only way they're caught is by unexplained anemia or an obstructing mass. By then, it's usually spread to at least the lymph nodes. Eat fiber and investigate any strange abdominal pain!
