I think the guidelines are fine - we can't stop everyone's disease and that's not what the purpose of these screening tests are.
that's because you don't have stage 4 cancer
Several friends broke their arms falling off of swings as children. This maybe means that children should no longer be allowed to have access to swings?

Curious, why no canned goods? I recently added smoked canned oysters to my diet due to high zinc, protein and heme iron. I struggle to assume iron because green leaf veggies (which I like) irritate my stomach, so I often end up in the washroom. With the oysters I am finally getting iron. But of course I don't want to mess up. I roughly eat like you do
Many of them are loaded with preservatives and salt but it shouldn’t be a problem if it’s just sardines in olive oil or whatever.

You are hardly describing "serious complications" ('bleeding', and 'respiratory events' are very non specific, and the fact that this is an uncited meta-analysis across nations makes the whole enterprise suspect), even less so since your source averages 24 countries while we are speaking about US colonoscopy recommendations. My source is not seeing one perforation each week at work. > just ask any AI These do not giv…
they give citations which i was going through and literally copied and pasted the CITE to you, not the AI. i only answered the specific question of where the number "48" or the range 40-80 came from. my cite even shows perforations are 3-5 per 10000 so i don't know what you're on me about
Yes, I am sure. Do send the actual citations.
> my cite even shows perforations are 3-5 per 10000
An implausible number for humans who have actual, non-LLM experience in this area

The simple answer is plants. Lots of fruits and vegetables, and pulses (beans, legumes, etc) for protein.
You have to consume a ridiculous amount of beans to get 100g of protein. That’s something like 7-8 cans of chickpeas per day.

I'd love to know the causation for that correlation
No one knows for sure. One hypothesis is chronic inflammation, perhaps linked to diet or mechanical stress.
I recommend getting a colonoscopy if you have any symptoms. There is a lot of stigma that prevents people from being proactive about this type of issue. My anecdote (M, 35) is that I got one after experiencing symptoms that turned out to be unrelated, but they did find pre-cancerous polyps so now I will be getting them more regularly. I received received meaningful early detection and peace of mind. Also aside from t…
> if you have any symptoms What kinds of symptoms are people actually seeing? Or, without graphic details of your bowel habits, is this a "you'd know it when you see it" type of situation, where it would probably be obvious? WebMD just says: change in bowel habits, blood in stool (would this be obvious?), anemia (how would you notice this?), unusual gas (uh, what is normal?), unexplained weight loss, fatigue, vomitin…

And "unusual" usually means unusual for you. So if you don't change your diet or habits, but suddenly get a ton of gas, fatigue, need to go to the bathroom way more often or have a different experience going to the bathroom, it's worth mentioning to do your doctor.

homemade mayo is one of the easiest things to make if you have a hand blender and wayyyyyy tastier, addictingly so actually you need some real, strong dijon mustard though, like the kind trader joe's sells for ~$3 in a tall glass or container: 1 raw egg 1 soup spoon dijon 1 soup spoon apple cider vinegar salt/pepper a bunch of vegetable oil (about 1.5 cups? eyeball - watch some youtube videos) blend don't overblend o…
Kenji's stick blender mayo recipe is also really good and really easy.
it's the same basic recipe
