Obesity has also risen dramatically which increases risk 30x.

You can’t discuss that.

Bringing up how obesity is one of the biggest issues in our society is considered taboo.

Very true, but the article mentions a lot of people being diagnosed aren't fatties. It's gotta be something environmental. I'd put money on plastics, but I'm not a scientist.

True but I’m pretty sure genetics play an even larger role. If you have an immediate family member who had colon cancer, the overall risk doubles. And if you have UC or Crohn’s disease, the risk goes up even more.

Improved diet can help but it’s not the determining factor in whether or not someone gets colon cancer
