You're asking a very important question.

This is very particular to young men and women.

So I'll give you three examples, and there are three concrete examples.

Okay.

The first one is colorectal cancer, cancer of the colon and rectum.

So basically in the lower bowels.

Yeah.

Colorectal cancer incidence has increased dramatically in young men and women.

And it's colorectal cancer mortality, which is a statistic that never lies.

Colorectal cancer mortality in young men and women has increased dramatically as well.

I'll come to the why in a second.

But that's a clear signal that that's not just early diagnosis or early detection.

Okay.

So that's not true because if it was just early detection or early diagnosis, then you wouldn't have the fact, usually in statistical terms, you wouldn't have an increase in actual mortality.

So it's a statistical, you know, when you have an early detection, you can get a spike in cases, but you don't necessarily get a spike in mortality.

But in this case, you're getting, so for colorectal cancer, you're getting a spike in cases and you're getting a spike in deaths.

So that is real.

You cannot really, you can't turn your eyes away from that.

That is a real number.

I'll give you a second example.
