Hopefully researchers are getting the funding they need (from Pfizer) to determine what is going on here.
Fortunately, researchers (funded by Pfizer) were able to determine the cause(s) of the sharp increase in heart attacks, which was taking cold showers, smoking weed, not paying your phone bill and other determinants that perfectly explained everything and there was no longer any need to look any deeper or at any other possible cause that might have contributed.
We should all be honored: This is The Science in action. First, scientists notice something. Then, pfizer pays them money. Third, The Science figures everything out. Last, little people like us who do not know The Science are to shut up and Trust.
Only working together will The Science work it's ways.

Cancer Is Striking More Young People, and Doctors Are Alarmed and Baffled
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

I can’t read article but why does you text talk about heart attacks when the title is about cancer.
“Man’s image of the nature of man is not only a matter for objective inquiry; it is and has always been a prime instrument of social and political control. He who moulds that image does so with enormous consequences for the society in which he lives.”

It's concerning how this trend of increased cancer over the last decade+ is continuing.
I'm not sure to whom your "The Science" bogeyman refers, but this known trend is concerning
From 2000
"World population growth and ageing imply a progressive increase in the cancer burden--15 million new cases and 10 million new deaths are expected in 2020, even if current rates remain unchanged."

I know that some doctors complain about cancer screening tests producing more cancer diagnosis. The cancer diagnosis ends up being a false alarm though. Maybe that is what is going on. Don't know if more young Americans are passing away from cancer.
Read a book recently that speculated the cause of cancer is a breakdown in our bodies ability to manufacture gelatin. Had me thinking there might be some truth to that. The older we become the less the body is able to make. Cancer has tended to be an older persons disease. Something like 75% of cancer occurs in those 70 years of age and older. Toxic substances might hinder gelatin manufacturing also.

Is early- onset cancer an emerging global epidemic? Current evidence and future implications
"Key points
• The incidence of cancers of various organs diagnosed in adults ≤50 years of age has been rising in many parts of the world since the 1990s.
• Evidence suggests an aetiological role for risk factor exposures in early life and young adulthood, although specific effects of individual exposures remain largely unknown.
• The early life exposome (including, among other factors, diet, lifestyle, obesity, environmental exposures and the microbiome) has changed substantially, with variable trends observed around the world since the mid-20th century.
• The early-onset cancer epidemic might be one manifestation of increasing trends in the development of many chronic diseases in young and future generations.
• Prospective cohort studies using electronic health records and/or early-life bio-specimen collection would enable the detailed investigation of early-life factors in relation to many future health outcomes, including cancer.
• Raising awareness of the early-onset cancer epidemic and improving the early-life environment should be our immediate goals: these are likely to reduce the burden of both early-onset and later-onset cancers."

Microplastics including 'forever chemicals' are quietly causing a health crisis that costs the US a quarter of a trillion dollars every year, a study claims.
These tiny plastics, which are found in virtually all brands of bottled water as well as most of the food we eat, have been linked to a myriad of chronic health conditions including cancers, hormone imbalances, fertility problems, and heart disease.
Researchers have not come up with a definitive number of how many people fall sick due to exposure because the chemicals are now so ubiquitous and tracing original exposure is extremely complex.
America's hidden pandemic, the chemicals in our food and water: Study finds microplastics are quietly costing US $250 billion a year in healthcare - more than the entire Covid outbreak
Effects of the hormone-disrupting chemicals like PFAS cost US $250B in 2018
Exposure to microplastics increases risks of fertility, heart, liver, kidney issues

full article:
Meilin Keen was studying for the bar exam and preparing to move to New York City last June when she started throwing up blood.
Keen, 27 years old, learned days later that she has gastric cancer. She postponed the bar exam. Brain fog from chemotherapy made it hard to do her legal work.
Surgeons removed her stomach in December. Keen is coming to terms with all that means for her diet, her health, even her dating life. “That’s a fun icebreaker: I don’t have a stomach anymore,” she said.
Cancer is hitting more young people in the U.S. and around the globe, baffling doctors. Diagnosis rates in the U.S. rose in 2019 to 107.8 cases per 100,000 people under 50, up 12.8% from 95.6 in 2000, federal data show. A study in BMJ Oncology last year reported a sharp global rise in cancers in people under 50, with the highest rates in North America, Australia and Western Europe.
Doctors are racing to figure out what is making them sick, and how to identify young people who are at high risk. They suspect that changes in the way we live—less physical activity, more ultra-processed foods, new toxins—have raised the risk for younger generations.
“The patients are getting younger,” said Dr. Andrea Cercek, who co-directs a program for early-onset gastrointestinal cancer patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, where Keen was treated. “It’s likely some environmental change, whether it’s something in our food, our medications or something we have not yet identified.”
“Colorectal cancer was the canary in the coal mine,” said Timothy Rebbeck, a cancer epidemiologist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
The U.S. cancer death rate has dropped by one-third since 1991, thanks to a plunge in smoking and better treatment. Screening to catch cancers earlier, including breast cancer, has helped, too.
Although cancer still strikes older people far more often than the young, the rise in early-onset cancers threatens to stall progress. One in five new colorectal cancer patients in 2019 was under 55, a near doubling since 1995. These younger patients are often diagnosed at late stages. Colorectal cancer death rates among patients over 65 are going down, but for those under 50 they are going up.
“We are seeing more and more young people who don’t fit the classic teaching that cancer is a disease of aging,” said Dr. Monique Gary, medical director of the cancer program at Grand View Health in Pennsylvania.
Keen had weathered heartburn and acid reflux since high school. She took antacid tablets for months while studying for the bar exam. She lost her appetite. When she vomited blood, she thought she had drunk too much coffee.
When she started seeing white and feeling as though she might pass out, she went to the emergency room.
At the hospital, doctors stabilized her and ran tests to figure out what was wrong. When a doctor suggested a cancer-causing bacteria might be the culprit, Keen was so surprised she almost laughed.
“I didn’t really think that much about cancer until I got it,” Keen said. “It messes with your identity.”
Doctors are desperate to figure out what puts people at higher risk.
“If we’re not understanding what it is now, there’s another whole generation that’s going to be dealing with this,” said Dr. Kimmie Ng of Dana-Farber.
Ng was among the first oncologists to investigate a troubling rise in colorectal cancer cases, which she has seen in her own patients over the past decade. One of them was Patrick Beauregard, a Marine diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2017, at 29. A bout of intense stomach pain had sent him to the E.R. two weeks after his honeymoon.
Beauregard and his wife, Amanda Beauregard, had a son during his treatment. Beauregard died less than two months later, in 2020. Last year, Amanda had their second son using in vitro fertilization. Much about the boys reminds her of her husband, including their love of Halloween and “The Nightmare Before Christmas.”
The risk of developing some cancers at a young age has increased for each generation born since the 1950s, studies suggest. One found that people born in the 1990s are at double the risk for early-onset colon cancer and four times the risk for rectal cancer, compared with people born around 1950.
“We have to find out why,” said Ahmedin Jemal, an author of the study and a senior vice president at the American Cancer Society. “Otherwise, the progress we have made in the last 50 years may stall or reverse.”
Cancer starts with genetic mutations that spur cells to multiply uncontrollably, spreading and forming tumors. Such mutations pile up as we age, so cancer risks do, too. For more young people, though, something is triggering that cascade of haywire cellular production earlier.
Researchers are scrutinizing possible causes ranging from inactive lifestyles to microplastics. Oncologists have found a greater risk of developing colorectal cancer at a young age among women who spent a lot of time sitting in front of the TV. Drinking sugary drinks in high school correlated with higher risk, too. Even being born via caesarean section seemed to link another group of women with higher risk of getting colorectal cancer early.
Deep-fried and highly processed foods have been implicated in other studies of early onset colorectal cancer, while diets with fiber, fruits and vegetables likely lower risks. Cancers including colorectal, breast and pancreatic have been tied to obesity, and studies support a link between excess weight and some early onset cancers.
But doctors said obesity and lifestyle can’t fully account for the plight of the people arriving at their clinics.
“A lot of the young patients are very healthy,” said Dr. Y. Nancy You, a colorectal cancer surgeon at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
The first patient You saw at the cancer center more than a decade ago was 48. He had a genetic disorder that explained why he developed cancer so young.
Then, there was the 37-year-old who competed in Ironman triathlons. After that, a 40-year-old, uninsured single mother who had made three trips to the E.R. for rectal bleeding. She arrived at You’s office with rectal cancer that had spread to her liver.
You and her colleagues have studied bacteria and other microbes in tissue samples from rectal cancer patients. They found differences based on age. You said changes in the makeup of microorganisms in the digestive tract spurred by diet, antibiotic use or other factors might drive inflammation and increase cancer risks.
Some doctors suspect that cancer-causing exposures might have started during patients’ childhoods, something that is difficult to trace. Unlike when smoking drove up lung cancer deaths in the 20th century, doctors suspect there isn’t a single carcinogen responsible for the current trends. Some worry young people’s rising cancer risks are a sign of deeper trouble.
“Is it part of a larger trend of, are we just getting unhealthier?” said Dr. Sachin Apte, chief clinical officer at Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah.
Researchers at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville are recruiting U.S. appendix-cancer patients to provide saliva and tumor samples to learn more about the rare disease.
Other cancer centers are tracking groups of patients over time. Doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering are collecting tumor samples and asking young patients about exposure to possible risks, from alcohol to anxiety medication. They are probing patients’ origins, too: How old were your parents when you were born? Were you breast-fed?
Keen was born in China and adopted when she was 2 by parents who raised her in Iowa. Her cancer was linked to H. pylori, a bacteria that causes ulcers. Keen suspects she picked it up in an orphanage in China, where the infection rate is higher.
After her June diagnosis, Keen started hormone injections to improve the odds she could get pregnant after chemotherapy. But the injections were expensive and exhausting, and Keen wasn’t certain she wanted to have children. She stopped after a few weeks.
Keen and her cat Pudge moved to an apartment in Manhattan close to the cancer center. She threw herself into cancer support groups.
During chemotherapy, Keen gained weight and lost her long black hair. When it started falling out, friends filled her apartment to help her cut it. Keen went alone later to get the remnants buzzed off. She cried in the salon chair. “It felt like I was losing a part of myself,” he said.
Keen wore a wig under a hat when she met law-school friends on a Saturday night in December at a favorite Chinese restaurant in Brooklyn. She wanted a decadent meal to celebrate her stomach before it was removed.
They ate family style. Keen knew everyone’s favorite dishes, ordered seconds and led a round of guessing the bill. It might have been a typical Saturday night for a group of 20-somethings in New York.
A few days later, Keen and her parents trekked before dawn to Memorial Sloan Kettering for her 5:30 a.m. surgery. Hours later, she woke up in a hospital bed in pain with a row of stitches up her abdomen.
Her stomach was gone, but so was her cancer. Keen will get scans and blood tests every few months to make sure cancer hasn’t reappeared.
Surgeons had stitched her eso****us to her small intestine, which absorbs most nutrients. The first week after surgery, it felt like food was getting stuck in her throat. She learned to eat slower, avoiding bread, meat and sugar for now.
“I ate a whole bag of gummy worms and paid the price,” she said.
Keen is going to restaurants again, sticking mostly to appetizers, and is walking for exercise. She re-downloaded dating apps. Keen included her diagnosis in her profile. Some responses made her cry. Her matches were nicer than before her cancer. She has been on a few dates.
Keen had worried her diagnosis would delay her life, and it had. But it also redirected her, she said: “I’m more intentional.”
Her hair is growing back. Keen plans to take the bar exam this July.

i wouldn't doubt its the Monsanto genetically modified seeds in combination with the pesticides for the foods we consume..
but also mobile devices at a close distance provide enough radiation that it should be illegal.. kids theses are on them 24/7 going into their teen ages sleeping with their phones right next to their heads/bodies.*** Free Thinker Crew ***

It’s the plastics in foods srs.
I’m probably going to die of colon cancer, hopefully not too young, but I had a large polyp removed from my colon in my early 20s that had been causing bleeding for years. While the biopsy found no evidence of cancer, nobody can explain why the fuk a healthy young man developed such a thing in his teens. I grew up poor and survived eating garbage frozen meals, ramen noodles, instant mashed potatoes, canned soup, drinking soda, etc. so that’s my explanation. We’re poisoning ourselves voluntarily.

They’re already working to get in front of the narrative just in case things get a lot worse. Again, if cancer rates explode it’ll be a lot harder to hide than just a general increase in excess deaths or increase in heart problems(which they try to blame completely on the virus itself). The truth is, cancer rates went up very slightly in the years leading up to the pandemic
Saved this to my favorites for historical trend reference.
“Between 2014-2018, rates of new cancer cases were stable for men and increased slightly—0.2% per year, on average—for women.”

I've been saying for a few years now that plastics in water are a WAY bigger environmental threat to worry about than the very hyped global warming. But plastic doesn't allow for Trillions in wealth transfers. And in fact the worst offenders of plastic in the oceans are the developing world - China, the Philippines, India, others. The nanoplastics are even worse than microplastics, since they're so small they can cross cell barriers, easily transfer from placenta into the womb, etc, etc. I never trusted bottled water, especially if it has sat in a hot environment for awhile. You can taste the damn plastic if you drink from those.
A few years ago I bought all glass containers for food storage, threw away a bunch of plastic cups, etc. Stuff we all buy is packaged in plastic unfortunately so there's no getting away from it but I figure I can minimize it as much as I can.Light weight! Light weight baby!!!!

Obesity.
It's demonstrably linked to many types of cancers, because it produces extra cells and hence extra chances for cells to screw up and become cancerous. It's inflammatory, fat holds all sorts of nasty compounds, and overweight people eat more so they eat more bad compounds within the food.
No brainer. Compare cancer rates between USA and Japan. USA is an extremely obese country.Back off, Warchild.

UK ONCOLOGIST: HALT COVID BOOSTERS, STUDY CANCER RISE
By Jondi Gumz
Dr. Angus Dalgleish, a sought-after oncologist in London, has written a letter to the editor-in-chief of the British Medical Journal, urging the journal to “make valid informed consent for Covid vaccination a priority topic” because cancers and other diseases are rapidly progressing among “boosted” people.
Dalgleish, 72, is a professor of oncology at St George’s, University of London, known for his contributions to HIV/AIDS research. Here is his letter:
“Covid no longer needs a vaccine programme, given the average age of death of Covid in the U.K. is 82 and from all other causes is 81 and falling.
“The link with clots, myocarditis, heart attacks and strokes is now well accepted, as is the link with myelitis and neuropathy. (We predicted these side effects in our June 2020 QRBD article Sorensen et al. 2020, as the blast analysis revealed 79% homologies to human epitopes, especially PF4 and myelin.)
“However, there is now another reason to halt all vaccine programmes. As a practicing oncologist, I am seeing people with stable disease rapidly progress after being forced to have a booster, usually so they can travel.
“Even within my own personal contacts, I am seeing B cell-based disease after the boosters. They describe being distinctly unwell a few days to weeks after the booster — one developing leukaemia, two work colleagues Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and an old friend who has felt like he has had Long Covid since receiving his booster and who, after getting severe bone pain, has been diagnosed as having multiple metastases from a rare B cell disorder.
“I am experienced enough to know that these are not the coincidental anecdotes that many suggest, especially as the same pattern is being seen in Germany, Australia and the USA.
“The reports of innate immune suppression after mRNA for several weeks would fit, as all these patients to date have melanoma or B cell based cancers, which are very susceptible to immune control — and that is before the reports of suppressor gene suppression by mRNA in laboratory experiments.
“This must be aired and debated immediately.”
In June, a paper co-written by Dr. Stephanie Seneff, MIT researcher, in Food & Chemical Toxicology, reported the MRNA vaccines promote “sustained synthesis” of the spike protein, which suppresses the body’s interferon responses and impairs innate immunity.Who is J6 "Scaffold Commander," the key to the J6 Fedsurrection? https://rumble.com/v45y4z6-why-is-the-king-pin-of-j6-scaffold-commander-not-wanted-nor-identified-by-t.html
