      I’m taking a radical strategy of working at the same superfund site my dad retired from. He’s doing great at 81, so I’m banking on all the benzene and chromate exposure we’ve got in common to act as a solvent for the Teflon-derivatives and polymers that make up an increasingly large% of me. or something. I also have hobbies that result in significant blood loss every now and again, which purges micro plastics.

      Honestly, I’m about half his age and I feel like that’s a bit long to go if I’m truthful. Life isn’t bad for me, but that’s a lot of time to fill

      Submission Statement: The rise in early-onset cancers is a growing concern for the future of health and medicine. Factors like diet, obesity, environmental toxins, and gut health are driving this trend and will continue to shape cancer risk. At the same time, advances in AI-driven diagnostics, liquid biopsies, and precision medicine are set to transform early detection and prevention.

      Low fiber is also a key reason on top of poor quality food and toxins like PFAS. Highly processed foods have little to no fiber which is a key to improving gut health and definitely good to keep up on fiber if you are at risk for colon cancer.
