When I was growing up, I did not hear about one case of colon cancer, not in an adult and not in a child.
In today's world, colon cancer is far more common and alarming.
Now, there's a study from the University of Texas that the number of cases of colon cancer in younger people is rising.
Study: More people develop colon cancer earlier in life - Fox Denver
The incidence of colon cancer is already on the rise but expected to increase in the years ahead.
Obesity and inactivity are contributing factors that increase the risk of colon cancer.
Encourage your children and young adults to choose a better diet, get exercise, and don't smoke. That makes for a good start toward a healthier life!
