Re: Is early-onset cancer an emerging global epidemic?
#32The most disturbing part, to me, is this: > The early-onset cancer epidemic might be one manifestation of increasing trends in the development of many chronic diseases in young and future generations. Why are chronic diseases trending upwards? Is it the obvious things (pollution, microplastics, obesity, massive drain on mental health from the modern lifestyle, etc.), or is there something else going on?
The result of misguidance from health professionals, big food & big pharma marketing. Not acknowledging that health is largely a result of lifestyle choices, and that pharmaceuticals are mostly ineffective and often harmful. And now for the specifics: - lies/bad science about meat (particularly red meat) being unhealthy - lies/bad science about cholesterol & saturated fat being unhealthy - not attacking sugar and pro…
I agree sugar is bad, cancer reseracher Lew Cantley has written very clearly scientifically about how High-fructose corn syrup is very bad supported with a lot of mechanistic data.
I also agree health is largely a result of lifestyle choices for most-- it is what we can control.
I can't even begin to contemplating support of many of your other statements. i wish you health and peace of mind.

My guess: Environmental toxins, antibiotic use and poor diet leading to loss of microbiome diversity/dysbiosis and consequential disruption to the body’s homeostatic processes.
How to really take care of the microbiome?
Try to be born vaginally rather than c-section (might be too late for that!), avoid antibiotics unless you absolutely need them, polyphenol-rich whole food diet with diverse fruits and vegetables, lots of fibre and resistant starch and fermented foods. Buy organic if possible.

Just adding a bit about the subject at hand: I am convinced the cancer epidemic is due to us grossly misusing our biological equipment: we are meant to feast & fast, and not have insulin's anabolic effects constantly activated. Fasting is crucial for "system maintenance", via autophagy (self-eating of damaged cells). Average person constantly stimulates insulin with following the advice of eating small meals often, w…
Autophagy keeps getting brought up with such pseudoscientific bullshit explanations that I can't help but see it as snake oil. Furthermore, depending on who is describing it, the window for autophagy to kick in is anywhere from 8-48+ hours.

This is interesting. Does elevated insulin / anabolic rates mean there’s no breakdown though? At least with muscles, most increases in synthesis rates are accompanied by a proportional increase in breakdown too.
I don’t have papers on hand to cite so take it with a grain of salt, but I believe that just eating is enough to increase both synthesis and breakdown. I think this is actually healthier since you have higher turnover this way

> following the advice of eating small meals often
This must be an american thing. I've always been told the opposite advice all my life. Interesting.

#37If we're going to throw out random theories for the cause like diet and pollution, what about all the volatile chemicals off-gassing from freshly manufactured goods?
I actually wonder if viral epidemics are to blame? Increased air travel means rare viruses can become widespread.

plus: high-PUFA oils (seed / vegetable oils) being labelled as "heart-healthy"
Protip: if you're ever looking for some downvotes when bringing up the dangers of PUFAs, recommend that people read the book Deep Nutrition.
There seems to be an animalistic hatred toward a book that really sheds the light on why eating industrial waste is not the healthiest thing in the world.
