Preservatives... preserve!
Ah, certainly, yes! You must provide your own lab coat (or Carhartt coveralls) and fork.

Lactic acid in their colon due to excessive vegetable consumption has lowered the ph below 6.7, giving all cancers a big GREEN light.

I suspect this is just a result of all the looking for it that goes on now.
So, good news.
None of that was true about young people in the late 1800s, though. If colorectal cancer rates were high then, it can’t be attributed to the evils of 21st century lifestyles.
Maybe they are just allergic to latex? I think you are correct that they are using their bodies for unintended activities....
Ha, ha, you guys are great! Yes, one always has to look out for lead poisoning, especially in certain parts of the city.
I agree. All this nonsense about preservative-free food is ridiculous. People worry about infinitesimal amounts of some chemical in something but text while driving. Go figure.
We're better off without some of those preservatives. Did you know, in the early 20th century some people were putting formaldehyde in milk to preserve it? The government put an end to that evil practice, and some lives were saved. Mixed bag; some are bad and some preservatives are good. Best to go with natural practices in place for hundreds of years (like salt etc.).
Wasn’t the whole point that colorectal cancer rates were almost non-existent in the late 1800’s?
Just because some mistakes were made in choosing preservatives doesn’t mean man-made preservatives are bad. Just because something is natural, doesn’t make it better or safer. Arsenic and mercury are natural.
Dude - nevermind...helps to read the article.
LOL!
No, it clearly says that risk levels had increased back to the level they were at for people born in the late 1800s.
Another possibility to explain this is that diseases seem to go in cycles, regardless of what we do or don’t do. They behave like epidemics in some respects.
There is so much more that scientists don’t know than they do know that they should stop making proclamations about the best diet or lifestyle. One of my pet peeves is the idea of “clean eating”. It’s just dumb. There is no such thing, but it sounds good to people who think they are accumulating all kinds of “toxins” in their bodies.
The higher incidence in the two different periods may be from different causes. In the 1800s it may have been from carcinogens in what people ate or in drinking water. Nowadays it may be from something like eating too much McDonalds food over a period of decades.
My thoughts exactly.
That’s why I said mixed bag. People have to use common sense, which is in short supply now.
Too much government intrusion. Have any other “generations” had so much government crawling up their arses?
Cervical cancer in women is caused by HPV which everyone carries. When the HPV attacks the colon and rectum or males or females, cancer is the result.
Considering where most Millennials park their heads, I’m surprised it isn’t spreading to their crania.
Everyone carries HPV. OK.
