has smoking, drinking, and eating red meat gone up in the past several decades? because, according to the first sentence of the abstract early onset cancers have gone up in the past several decades.
PFOS in the environment has gone up in the past several decades.

This vaccine is special, as we all know. And it's a possible cause that I offered. The parent was proposing a list. I added to it. And now I have been censored. Insane.
The article being discussed starts with these words "Over the past several decades", and you suggest as a cause a vaccine that the general public wasn't exposed to just two years ago. You're not being censored, you're receiving feedback that you did a dumb.
Fuck it. It isn't because "I did a dumb". You know it, I know it, the microbes on my keyboard know it. Let's not pretend.
> "However, the effects of individual exposures remain largely unknown. To study early-life exposures and their implications for multiple cancer types will require prospective cohort studies with dedicated biobanking and data collection technologies." What that means is analytical body-burden data collection should be a medical norm, for a variety of substances: polychlorinated biphenyls, triazine herbicides (atrazin…

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.

I disagree with the comment you are replying to, but I also disagree with yours too. Healthcare is crazy profitable. Insurance companies, healthcare providers, suppliers etc form a decent chunk of most western economies, the US of A in particular.
I'm specifically not talking about the states, and talking about countries with public health care.

I am sorry for whatever happened/happens to your mom. That being said, when looking at cold hard data, this is a valid point. We all have various weird stuff in us, the older the more. Cystes, weird bulges, benign cancers that wont kill us for 50 years. If you are a male say above 40 or 50, you probably have some very early (or not) prostate cancer. Often you need an invasive procedure to get more info. Even then its…
I interpreted the comment to mean, "my mom always reminds me to go get a checkup that I don't need."
I also noticed for people born after 1995 there are 18% identify themselves as non-binary these days, I wonder this is also from the same cause, i.e. industrial food related, but I don't have concrete data to back this up.
Longevity is improving slowly, hope one day we can fully catch cancel from onset, I'm aware of quite a few who were taken away by cancers in their 50s or early 60s, sadly.

The only cancer routinely screened for in people under 50 is cervical cancer. Even then, the test detects precancerous lesions mainly. As such, ascertainment bias is not a major methodological concern.
Lots of cancers are screened in younger people outside of routine: melanoma, colon cancer, breast cancer, etc. are all things that doctors will test for if a person has certain signs (like a suspicious mole or rectal polyps).

Colon cancer guidelines have changed screenings to 45.
My bet is on hormonal changes due to modern living and/or it's impact on the gut microbiome. I'm mid thirties with low body fat and somewhat athletic and got diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer last year with no history in the family. My support groups regularly get new people around my age. It's scary to think that in the next few years these cancers will no longer be an old person's illness because chemo is absolut…
