Yet another study is reporting an alarming increase in the number of young people diagnosed with colon cancer.  There are likely multiple contributing factors but here are two strong suspects:  (1) Processed meats (and their additives) have been linked in numerous studies to colon cancer (and other cancers as well), and (2) Antibiotics disrupting gut bacteria…one of the key sources of antibiotics is animal antibiotics common in commercial (non-organic) red meat and processed meats. This, of course, is in addition to any antibiotics consumers may be ingesting from prescriptions, off-label or grey market sources to fight off infections.
