Huge rise in cancer in friends

If you love sedentary lifestyles with terrible diet you die. It's really that simple.

I love how everyone always thinks people did cancer to themselves when they are told time and time and time again that cancer is largely generic or occurs in people without prior risk factors with the exception of some specific cancers.
Yes obesity may raise risk in those wjtn genetic predisposition to certain cancers but going to restaurants is not ‘giving people cancer’ Yeesh

If it’s mostly genetic, why is there such an increase in past few years?

With regard to tattoos and cancer, I saw this in the news a few weeks ago and I’m surprised it didn’t get more coverage:

You’re an idiot. The SINGLE BIGGEST THING YOU CAN CONTROL FOR REDUCING CANCER *RISK* IS CONTROLLING YOUR WIEGHT, DIET AND EXERCISE.

You people have an inordinately difficult time understanding the concept of risk and statistics. Yes, of course there will be marathon runners who only eat a health Mediterranean diet who get cancer while I’m sure there are examples of morbidly obese people out there who live to 92 and who never get cancer and have bloodwork clean as a whistle. That doesn’t negate the fact at all though that healthy life style can significantly reduce the risk of many types of cancers. Again, understand the term risk. The data are incontrovertible. Gen Z will be the fattest generation in history. Nearly 20% of all teenagers are now friggin’ obese. Youth increasingly have horrible lifestyles and terrible diets. These are the results.

The national cancer institute estimates that nearly half of all cancer deaths could be reduced simply by improvements in lifestyle. There is a ton you can actively control to simply reduce your risk for cancer, but increasingly youth are becoming sedentary beached whales who have average BMIs skyrocketing to the moon.

What is up with all of the healthy, active people getting cancer?

The people I know diagnosed young are all healthy weight, physically fit and non smokers.

It’s your perceived bias. You need to look at stats.

DP There are two issues: what drives the historical trend in cancers and what is driving the above-trend rise in cancer in the last couple of years. The recent rise in cancer is hitting all populations, including the young and healthy.

You are an idiot.
I have exercised for at least 30 mins a day every single day since I was 22 and have a very low bmi and I still have had cancer.
Yes exercise is great but it’s not a panacea in any way.
People are just so scared of cancer they think they can control it and they mostly cannot. One in two of us will get it. Just deal

The only proven change is the increase in over sanitation eg hand sanitizers and avoidance of all illness - all of which harms the microbiome and reduces natural immunity.

I agree that we should not blame people’s personal behaviors. But we should also not say it’s all genetic and you can’t prevent it, because that takes all the pressure off of industry and regulators who should be reducing the number of carcinogens we are exposed to.

I asked ai to analyze ‘the internet’ and all available data and one of the 5 reasons it gave for the increase was the increase in medical imaging eg ct scans and x rays that increase your risk of cancer

Right - Denmark has the highest cancer rates but is something like 110 in obesity rate. It doesn’t quite correlate

NP. Reducing risk isn’t the same as eliminating it altogether. And who knows, in your case if you hadn’t exercised and eaten well, maybe your cancer would’ve developed earlier or been more aggressive etc. And I’d bet that you being healthier overall made your recovery easier, maybe you tolerated chemo better etc.

That’s a very different argument and consideration.
My cancer was actually hormonally driven and had nothing to do with bmi.
The cancers that are even impacted by obesity are colorectal, post-menopausal breast, uterine, esophageal, kidney and pancreatic cancers.
A great number of cancers are accelerated or triggered by hormonal changes - eg pregnancy or ivf (mine is an example).
There’s a huge amount we still don’t know

You’re an absolute moron. You cannot understand risk and statistics. This is like saying because someone won powerball, that means I can too!

Your emotional arguments are completely devoid of all scientific based rationale, because the data clearly show a healthy lifestyle can significantly reduce your *risk* for a number of cancers.
