Second, this states that rates have escalated back to the level for people born in the late 1800s, but then the recommend remedy is healthier eating. Well, there was no fast food, highly processed food, or "scary" GMO foods back in the late 1800s. However, there was something missing from food then, that was in food for several decades, but in recent years has been removed in many cases. Preservatives! That's right, folks, what if preservatives are good for us? Humans are basically walking hunks of meat after all.
I would love to see this hypothesis tested. If true, the food Nazis' heads would explode. Imagine if progress and technology made food better and safer than it is in its natural state. I don't know about you, but I would much rather eat bread brimming with preservatives than bread rich with mold spores.
For that matter, maybe all the cellulose and other fiber boosters being added to foods is irritating the colon. Some of this fake fiber is pretty close to wood splinters.
I like to have fun with this stuff. So many notions about food and diet are accepted as gospel and never tested, when nothing should be assumed just because it sounds good.
Too much tofu, not enough bacon!
I knew all that Starbucks would be problematical in later years.
Nothing to do with excess anal sex though ...
I think you are on to something. I recall reading exactly your thesis that food preservatives are beneficial to longevity quite some time ago. I believe large, long-term studies were done.
It’s modern pesticides rather than preservatives or should I say the lack thereof.
People who eat organic are more likely to ingest foods with mycotoxin contamination from the lack of modern pesticides and anti fungal treatments on seeds. GMO grains have the lowest rate of mycotoxin contamination.
Plus rampant STDs and perverse sexual habits.
The result of forced feeding of Marxist propaganda?
Anybody honestly taken a look at Millennials lately?
Almost all of them are obese and borderline morbidly-obese.
Add to that the mental deficiencies they have due to drugs, technology, and a lack of basic social skills and you’ve got a recipe for literal Zombies.

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.
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.).
Too much government intrusion. Have any other “generations” had so much government crawling up their arses?
Considering where most Millennials park their heads, I’m surprised it isn’t spreading to their crania.
What is weird is 25 year olds are NOT going in for colonoscopies. How
Is this happening?
What’s ironic is all the claims that eating whole grain and organic is the solution to all the world’s health woes.
And yet, here we have in the Bible a record of what Jesus spent His time doing, and a lot of it was going around HEALING people who were sick.
LOTS of them.
If organic, whole grain eating were all it was cracked up to be, then where the heck did all the sick people come from for Him to heal?
Good theory, also being overweight is a risk factor for colon and rectal cancers.
We sit more, work and play inside under artificial light and eat a factory processed diet out of a box, a bag or a can.
The world's population has increased and so have the environmental problems that come from more and more people.
Our air and water have chemicals in them that weren't in existence or weren't common in the late 1800s, and the same is true with the intensively farmed vegetables, grains and meats that we feed ourselves.
Given a choice, I'd rather eat foods that are as close to God as I can get, and made with love and care at home, rather than made by a machine in a factory and packaged for a long shelf life.
I also wonder about the sins of the world and about the coming cleansing. Sin is not unlike environmental pollution and our world is becoming/has become sin-saturated.
Is it safe to say we kids today don't live in tune with our Creator and that definitely has consequences?
Perhaps cancers, auto-immune disorders and similar are some of those consequences. "Beware of the critical spirit."
Christians are encouraged to fast two days a week. I was surprised to learn that fasting offers so many spiritual, physical and mental benefits, including purifying and healing the body.
Lots of possibilities for the increase reported. All I know is, things have changed and now it's Trump's fault.
