Why are young people getting cancer?

Cancer is supposed to be an old-people disease so why are young people getting it? From my opinion I blame it on the government for making dangerous environments and modifying the foods that we eat.

    A. Cancer Causes*:

    1. Chronic & severe constipation [+ heavy quantum of accumulated feces in the rectum & the large intestine] with a displaced solar plexus. Bad diet with pizzas, burgers, deep freeze and deep fried chicken/pork/hot dogs, high rich calorie diets-obesity, etc. As a result, most of the Americans/Europeans are cancer victims due to chronic constipation issues.

    3. Hormonal imbalance. Hormone Therapy with steroids after Menopause.

    4. Heavy exposure to asbestos, pollution from industrial wastes, tobacco consumption and or smoking. Pesticides, chlorine, fluoride, msg, are carcinogenic.

    5. Chronic & Unhealed allergies, wounds/injuries caused by bacterial/viral/metabolic syndromes/diseases with blocked energy + toxins in any internal organ.

    • 6. Sexual promiscuity, Perverted anal/oral sex, hetero-sex [not mono-sex], homosexual amongst transgenders, resulting in chronic and unhealed STDs/infections/wounds/injuries, etc., bad personal hygiene [not washing gonads after coitus] & indiscriminate consumption of birth control pills 'with no' medical supervision by endocrinologist/gynecologist/physician. Long term use of the oral contraceptive pill (containing synthetic estrogens and progestogens) increases the risk of liver and breast cancer

    7. Chronic Stress & Strain.

    Anything that weakens or stresses your immune system can lead to cancer, for example:

    8. Lack of exercise & ever increasing obese bodies. Fatty liver,Eating junk food, red meat, diet soda.

    9. Out of every 10 lung cancer patients, 9 are smokers. Tobacco dipping, chewing and smoking [pot]/hukka by females hasten menopause and for the males lung/throat/esophageal/oral cancer assured—an American study published in WebMD.com.

    10. Regular consumption of ‘colas’ with massive doses of insecticides, freely available in India. Regular & excessive alcohol consumption. If staple diet/food includes pizzas, burgers, deep freezed and deep fried chicken, mutton, pork cured meat, etc.

    11. Skin Cancer Exposure to Sun’s rays @ odd hours [90 minutes after sunrise, beyond 60 minutes before sunset and anytime during strong winds] and excessive exposure to radiation emanating from cell phones, transmission towers, etc., Tattooing is carcinogenic.

    24/7-- Wearing of bra by the modern woman. In the 'Bra and Breast Cancer Study' in the United States , It was discovered that women with breast cancer had a history of sporting tighter and longer bra-wearing than did the women who had not (yet) developed the disease.

    In fact, virtually the entire cancer group wore bras over 12 hours. When a woman wears a tight bra, she subjects her breasts to pressure, closing off the lymphatic pathway from the breast to the nodes. This causes fluid built-up swelling, tenderness and cyst formation. Toxins must be flushed out via the lymphatic. However, a bra-constricted breast cannot adequately perform this cleansing process, resulting in toxin accumulation in the breast.

    12. Late marriages and late pregnancies, avoiding breast feeding the infant—breast cancer.

    13. A poor diet especially one that is high in sugar. Diabetic & Type 1 [Insulin dependent] and Type-2 [tablet intake].

    14. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity if you continue to eat a lot of gluten

    15. Unhealthy bacteria in the intestines – this is known as dysbiosis

    16. Nutritional deficiencies – the most important ones are low levels of vitamin D and C and the minerals selenium and iodine.

    17. Chronic viral infections – such as hepatitis B and C can cause liver cancer, AIDS (caused by the virus known as HIV) causes many types of cancer. The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) can cause cancer of the oral cavity, cervix and vulva.

    18. Immune-suppressant drugs used in transplant patients and autoimmune diseases

    Young people (even babies) have ALWAYS gotten cancer. I don't know that any more young people are getting it today than they did in the past. It's just that with the mass communication that we have today, we hear more about it among young people than we used to.

    Lifestyle changes account for at least some of the reason why younger people are being diagnosed with cancer more often. But even this doesn't tell the whole story.

    Nothing"s changed. Only ignorant people say they blame it on big govt, big pharma, or evil little men in secret bunkers shooting cancer rays at unsuspecting people... Don't try to start a "question" that you hope to get a lot of answers.

    Because that's life. There is no evidence that cancer among the young is on the rise. Especially when you look at infant mortality not all that far back. Try looking up the death rates from diseases like polio or whooping cough back before immunization became the norm.

    Cancer is PREDOMINANTLY a disease of aging with 80% of people being diagnosed over the age of 50.

    That means 20% of those diagnosed are younger.

    There is nothing to suggest that there is an increase in the proportion of younger people getting cancer.

    More are getting cancer because there are more people. And more of them are surviving thanks to health advances like vaccination. A huge proportion of infants used to die before age 2 from cholera, diptheria, pertussis, small pox and even things like measles and chicken pox.

    Chemicals. We are subjected to them in everything, even the pillows we sleep on - flame retardants. Chemicals are off-gassed from plastics, from smoke stacks, carried by wind to even the healthiest places on earth. We eat them, we breath them and we smell them. Also, so many foods that are naturally alkaline have been changed in the manufacturing business to highly acidic - milk for example. The pasturization process acidifies. When we don't balance our acidic intake with alkaline foods, our bodies end up too acidic, which creates a perfect environment for cancer.
