🇵🇸antifa_ceoThe new recommended age to start getting routine checks for colon cancer is 35. Go get your ass tickled once a year and it just might save your life. Colon cancer is one of the deadliest cancers but also one of the easier ones to detect and beat with a full recovery if you catch it early..
Rich boomers really going extra trying to eliminate the competition, especially with the shortage of 13 year olds and subsequent generations being more protective parents.
Boomers dont die until their 90s and 100s. Countries like South Korea and Japan have to introduce government-assisted suicides or they would literally go extinct
BonfireOvDreamsEat. fiber. Cut saturated fat intake from cheese. Stop eating so much carcinogenic animal product. Stupid reactionary memes about your cheese addiction and poor diet will not unfuck your body or make your diet any less stupid.
Sorry to contradict you. This is an article about a rise in colon cancer and cardiovascular disease. Cheese consumption is not associated with either of those. Actually it seems to be protective for both issues:
EntheoNautI know, what’s with BonfireOvCheese hating on our cheez parade?
Hail the curds!
A valid criticism, and I can’t knock solid information. People should be mindful of the amount of calories they are getting from cheese, as being overweight definitely will exacerbate colon cancer & cardiovascular disease even if it would otherwise be neutral or benefitial. The hormonal effects can also be no bueno for prostate or breast cancer.
Of course, I have motives beyons health to advocate away regardless, but I’ll be mindful of avoiding any non-factual talking points. Kudos.
It’ll be interesting to see if we can find more than a correlation. This ought to be a polymarket bet… But mine would be on either ultra processed foods or microplastics.
My money is on plastics. This generation is exactly the one that saw a huge shift happen. Glass bottles to plastic bottles, cardboard takeout containers to plastic containers, metal plumbing to plastic plumbing. You literally go to the store and buy vegetables and they come wrapped in plastic. Even frozen vegetables used to come in boxes. Now? Plastic. Milk carton? How about milk plastic? It’s literally everything. Everything is plastic, and it all started kicking off for Gen X.
More than likely the ultra processed foods. So much shit added that other countries ban because it’s carcinogenic but not in the USA because it’s cheap and makes the line go up. Think it was a documentary that included the Oreos CEO who refused to eat their own product.
I saw a video where they talked about a bunch of studies about ultra processed foods, and the top 3 worst foods for health were (iiirc) 1. Processed meats like bacon and hotdogs 2. Sugary drinks 3. Sugary baked goods (think this included oreos and snack cakes etc)
Those 3 were like 99% of the danger of processed foods.
- Yeah, sulfates and various preserving materials aren’t good long term. One of those cases of very modest consumption. Though bacon is practically everywhere now.
- I wonder if it’s sugar in general or HFCS. I have a feeling it’s the later given its plethora of negative health qualities.
- Same with if it’s HFCS or not related into it.
The most dangerous processed foods are also made so cheap and thus easier to consume.

Oh shit, im like made of 99% hotdogs at this point.
Rent is due in 13 days, so do you think this could be a rush job?

Eat vegetables and get a fecal screening test.
Pass
Come for me sweet colonic cancer
What is even this article?
Says GenX/ ‘elder’ millennials… but states the dates of this ‘cohort’ 1970-1985.
GenX is that era, Gen Z is next, The Millennials (as in, around the time of the millennium).
And then goes on to say the trend is alarming for ‘ages 30-45’… almost like this article is from 10-15 years ago because for GenX that ship has sailed…
AI slop or shitty editor? Click bait?
I don’t have any comment on the quality of the article otherwise, but millennials (at least in the US) is the commonly used descriptor for gen y because we came of age during the millennium.
Millenials start as early as 1980 depending on who’s making it up
Anyone who says millennial starts at 1980 is full of garbage even under the knowledge that generational labels are largely made up nonsense.
Bro really went straight from x to z
ah fuck, i did that… goddamn
