70 percent of young patients have incurable colon cancer
Permalink   
 

When oncologist Dr Raed Al-Rajabi first began seeing cancer patients 14 years ago, he expected a lot of what he'd see would be 'horrible.' 

But he didn't envision the job would turn into what it has today: Treating dying 20-year-olds.

Since Dr Al-Rajabi became a cancer specialist, the percentage of patients under 55 with colorectal cancer has nearly doubled. One of his patients was just 14 years old.

Approximately 70 percent of these young people are so unwell — having gone undiagnosed for far too long — there is now little doctors can do to help. 

Dr Al-Rajabi is an associate professor of medical oncology at the University of Kansas Medical Center and leads the colorectal cancer treatment, and cases he tends to at the hospital are heartbreaking.' 

Approximately 20 percent of people diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2019 were under 55. That's nearly double the rate from 1995, where 11 percent of colorectal cancer patients were under 55, according to American Cancer Society (ACS). 

A little-known ingredient in energy drinks was thrust into the spotlight this week after scientists theorized it may partly explain a rise in colon cancer in young people.

Taurine is an amino acid used in Red Bull to energize cells and improve mental clarity. 

However, scientists in Florida hypothesize that this ingredient could 'feed' harmful bacteria that have been 'over-represented' in the guts of people with colorectal cancer. 

It's still only a theory, and based on preliminary studies in animals and labs, so experts say there is no reason to panic yet.

But Taurine is also found in Monster, Celsius, and some Starbucks coffee beverages. So is this a reason to cut out energy drinks altogether?

I definitely believe it's food related.

Scary.
My Grandkids, along with millions of others have drank Red Bull, Starbucks se4ves millions of coffees World wide.

I also think many illnesses that have grown over the last decades are food related.
The problem is by the time it's found (or admitted) to be so, it's too late for many.

The word incurable is awful especially when it's to do with the young!

 Our health and immune system hinges on the health of the microbiom.   End of.  We are, literally, what we eat.

 I've learned to look after my microbiome over the last dozen years or so.

Starting point being no mouthwash as the microbiome starts in the mouth and mouthwash wipes them out.

I read this article, or a similar one the other day.

I'm glad I stopped the energy drinks years ago.

 I've never drunk any.   They don't appeal to me.

 You don't drink anything caffeinated? 

 

The appeal to me was always in the afternoon. I live in a warm climate and drinking hot tea or coffee in the afternoon has never appealed to me..

 What is your tap water like?

 

I drink between 2 to 3 pints a day, so far, in spite of all the scare stories of what is put into our tap water, it's not done me any harm.

Ours tastes good too.

 The worst water I ever had was on Anglesey which came as a bit of a shock having come from Manchester where the water is nice stuff.;

 Tap water is fine, and I drink water every day..

 

But they don't put caffeine in it. 😉

 I know they dont, I just wondered (for some reason) what your tap water was like.

The evidence seems to point to Dr Al-Rajabi.
