But, you know, when we get down to it, we look in some groups of people and it's mostly on the right side.

We look at other groups.

It's on the left side.

And then you get down to the molecular genetics.

And I'm not going to bore you all with the particular genes, but I'll just say this.

In cancer, we're getting down to the precise gene that went wrong or genes that went wrong to make that cell go crazy.

And now we think that the causes will differ depending on your subtype.

But, you know, that's more of a matter of like how much something causes it.

But, you know, diet and exercise and obesity and microbiome are going to be causes of all the subtypes.

Um, you know, like, uh, when you try to nail down a scientist to, to just say it's one thing, they're never going to give you a straight answer.

Um, you know, it's, it's like, uh, all of it at once.

And of course, like diet is complex too.

Um, uh, we'll say that, uh, the, the things we think are healthy to eat, you know, uh, uh,

at least until they changed the food pyramid in the last year.

Um, you know, it's, uh, it's, it's not really rocket science, right.

You should, um, eat a lot of fresh veggies, you know, in a, in a variety of colors.

Like, uh, we say eat the rainbow, you know, um, dark leafy greens are great, you know, um, and, uh,

minimizing uh meat you know not making it the the star of the show uh i enjoy meat too and um you know but it's uh it's not um it's not about saying no but it's about moderation and then uh clarence uh i uh actually um don't know about early onset cancer uh colorectal cancer but you know barbecue uh sorry burnt foods uh are associated with colorectal cancer too

Yeah, I mean...

So I came, you know, most of the people who are studying early onset colorectal cancer, they came from adult cancer, right?
