> The BMJ Oncology study concludes that “dietary risk factors, alcohol consumption, and tobacco use were the main risk factors for major early-onset cancers.” But it adds that “prospective lifetime cohort studies are needed to explore the etiologies [causes] of early-onset cancers.”
Whatever we're consuming is most likely the culprit (or whatever is being sprayed on/injected into/fed to what we're consuming).
- Iulioh 2y agoIsn't tobacco and alcohol at a high time low in the younger generations?
- candiddevmike 2y agoAIUI gen z is slightly more health focused and has lower alcohol usage. Millennials and gen x make up for it.
- dbish 2y agoNot to mention that they’ve cut out alcohol but added vapes and what seems to be a healthy amount of marijuana. I don’t think that makes them healthier overall.
- whimsicalism 2y agocutting out smoking and alcohol and subbing in vapes and marijuana is almost certainly a net win healthwise
- dclowd9901 2y agoUnless it isn’t. Frankly we don’t know what the long term effects of vaping and marijuana usage are because we’ve not really dug into them.
- whimsicalism 2y agothere are a fair number of long term studies in marijuana. it’s clear that for normal usage patterns compared to normal tobacco usage patterns, the cancer risk is much lower.
- dclowd9901 2y agoHow about compared to alcohol? Various kinds of alcohol? The claim was that vaping and marijuana were both lower risk than smoking and alcohol. I think jury is still out.
- whimsicalism 2y agoMarijuana consumption is well-studied to be less bad than alcohol. Vaping we have strong reasons to think is less bad, but it is not well studied.
- copperx 2y agoWhat is a healthy amount of marijuana?

- Validark 2y ago> tobacco use What's the worst part of a cigarette, the fact that it has tobacco, or the fact that it has like 100 different cancer causing toxins?
- dumbo-octopus 2y agoVapes are at all time high though.
- candiddevmike 2y agoI'm still trying to find the memo I missed that made it socially acceptable for folks to vape indoors. Come into my house and vape around my kids? Really?
- swarnie 2y agoWho is walking in to your house and letting off clouds? Generally you ask, or if your host is a vaper wait to see if they do first. For all other public indoor settings its already illegal.
- cassianoleal 2y agoI've had to tell off at least 2 people who were vaping in the climbing gym in London.
- whimsicalism 2y agopeople think it is more surreptitious than it is

- dumbo-octopus 2y agoToo early for any of the official things to say. We’re still in the “9/10 doctors say smoking is good for your waistline” phase. Call me crazy, but I happen to believe the best thing for my lungs is plain old air.

- yulker 2y agoI see people say this but what's the mechanism?
- tastyfreeze 2y agoAll the studies say glyphosate is safe. But, glyphosate use really ramped up in the 90s with "round up ready" GMOs being created in 1996. It is even sprayed pre-harvest to uniformly dry grains for harvest. Who knows if glyphosate is causing cancer. I think there is strong evidence that it is the cause of the rise of celiac disease cases.
- whimsicalism 2y agoi am not convinced the rise of celiac is not due to some combination of better testing/new thresholds and more awareness to get testing
