Overweight? Obese? You’re probably developing breast cancer or colon cancer too. Watch out. Time to do some intermittent fasting and eat whole, unprocessed, organic food instead of all that junk science food stuff. Studies reveal obesity fuels cancer cells to replicate uncontrollably and take over damaged and susceptible tissue, especially in the breasts of females and the prostate of men. Here’s the science.
Recent studies highlight a concerning rise in early-onset breast cancer among women under 50 in the U.S. A study published in JAMA Network Open on August 16 analyzed health data from over half a million individuals under 50 diagnosed with early-onset cancer between 2010 and 2019, revealing breast cancer as the most prevalent, with 12,649 new cases reported in 2019 alone.
A second study in BMJ Oncology on September 5 reinforced these findings, showing breast cancer led global early-onset cancer cases and fatalities among younger adults. Experts suggest factors like obesity, shifting reproductive patterns, and environmental exposures may contribute, though definitive causes remain uncertain.
While early-onset cancers are still relatively rare, gradual annual increases—particularly in breast, colorectal, and uterine cancers—are compounding into a significant trend over time. Obesity, linked to more than half of uterine cancer cases, is a major suspect, as younger generations experience higher obesity rates than previous ones.
Changes in reproductive behavior—such as earlier menstruation, fewer pregnancies, and delayed first childbirth—also elevate breast cancer risk. Additionally, early detection, including screenings for high-risk groups and incidental findings during unrelated medical scans, may partly explain rising diagnosis rates.
Beyond lifestyle and reproductive factors, environmental exposures—such as prenatal or childhood contact with toxins—could be damaging DNA and triggering early-onset cancers. However, researchers stress the need for long-term studies to clarify these links.
In the meantime, experts recommend preventive measures like HPV vaccination, sun protection, and reducing alcohol and tobacco use to mitigate risk. While the surge in early-onset cancers remains a medical mystery, the urgency to uncover its causes is mounting as more young adults face diseases typically associated with older age.
Remember, sugar and pesticides fuel cancer and obesity. Cut them out. Tune your internet dial to NaturalMedicine.news for more tips on how to use natural remedies and intermittent fasting as preventative medicine and for healing, instead of succumbing to Big Pharma products that cause, spread, and exacerbate early onset cancer.
