(TheProudRepublic.com) – In a truly disturbing trend, young Americans are struck hard by a concerning rise in colon cancer rates, prompting a critical examination of common dietary fats.

Seed oils, found in countless kitchens, might be linked to inflammation and cancer growth.
As these rates climb, it’s essential to question what fuels this disturbing trend.
The year 2024 is expected to see 150,000 Americans diagnosed with colon cancer, making it the fourth most diagnosed cancer in the United States and a leading cause of cancer deaths. Alarmingly, younger individuals are becoming increasingly affected.
Colon cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death in men under 50 and the second in women of the same age group.
The cancer rates in older people over 60 are declining, which suggests diet as a significant factor for early-onset colon cancer.
Foods like red meats, sugary drinks, ultraprocessed foods, and alcohol are known to increase risks.
On the flip side, consuming whole grains, nuts, yogurt, wild salmon, and extra virgin olive oil can help reduce the risk.
Recent studies link the consumption of seed oils such as sunflower, canola, corn, and grapeseed to rising colon cancer rates in young people.
Excessive consumption of these oils can lead to inflammation, ultimately aiding cancer growth.
The average American now consumes nearly 100 pounds of seed oils annually since the 1950s.
The impact of these oils is further corroborated by evidence from a government-funded study.
It shows that inflammation and cancer-promoting lipid production arise from bioactive lipids formed when the body metabolizes seed oils.
Research calls for replacing seed oils with those rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like olive or avocado oil.
The Mediterranean diet, known for its reduced cancer risk, emphasizes olive oil, rich in health-promoting compounds and polyphenols with anti-inflammatory properties.
These compounds could inhibit cancer-promoting cytokines, offering a natural shield against cancer.
“We now see this inflammation in the colon tumors themselves, and cancer is like a chronic wound that won’t heal – if your body is living off of daily ultra-processed foods, its ability to heal decreases due to inflammation and suppression of the immune system that ultimately allows the cancer to grow,” commented Dr. Timothy Yeatman, cited by The Daily Mail.
The study emphasizes that addressing chronic inflammation through natural dietary changes could revolutionize cancer treatment and prevention.
Dr. Timothy Yeatman highlights the potential of using natural healing methods to counter chronic illnesses.
A recent study from researchers at the University of South Florida, funded by the National Institutes of Health, suggests that seed oils might contribute to the rising rates of colon cancer, particularly among young Americans. The study analyzed tumors from over 80 patients with…
