Colorectal cancer, I think, is the big one. It is the, like, if you look at the incident rates in some of these studies, besides breast cancer, it is the type of cancer that has the highest incidence among young adults. But it's not just colorectal cancer. It's Uterine cancers, gallbladder, kidney cancers. People might have heard about Dwayne Wade, who is like by this definition, a young adult.

It seems to be sort of up and down the digestive track where this seems to be happening, with the one exception is breast cancer, which we've continued to see a higher rate of breast cancer among young people over the same period. But if we set that aside, which is obviously like a big exception, it seems to be a lot happening, yeah, up and down the digestive track.

That's where we're seeing in particular these big increases over time among young people.

So this is maybe the most interesting thing that I learned in reporting out this study and talking to a bunch of these cancer researchers who are as befuddled by all of this as we are. So it seems that your individual risk of many different types of cancers actually depends on something that's totally out of your control, which is when you were born.

Like somebody who was born in 1975 had nearly twice the chance of developing like an intestinal cancer compared to somebody who was born in 1955, 20 years earlier. And likewise, if we look like at younger people, people born in 1990, they're at even a higher risk of developing cancers than those people born in 1955 or even 1975. a couple of things likely at work here.

One does seem to be like the the changes in food production and the proliferation of processed foods, which is obviously something that like basically if you eat in the modern world, you're consuming more processed foods than people used to. And so there have been like systematic reviews of the available literature, including one that was published just in 2022.

that have said, like, if you eat more deep fried fruits, if you eat more processed foods, if you eat foods high in fat, sugary drinks and desserts, and if you're really bad about eating fiber and things that are really good for your digestive system, you are more likely to develop cancer.
