More Men Are Dying From Cancer. A New Study Helps Explain Why

  • Information about the global cancer incidence in males is currently limited.
  • A new study investigates 30 cancer types in males and makes projected prevalence and mortality estimates for 2050.
  • The researchers found the number of cancer cases and deaths in males could increase significantly over the next few decades, by 84% and 93% respectively.

Recent studies have shown stark increases in cancer cases across both younger and older demographics.

GLP-1 Drugs like Wegovy May Help Stave Off Some Cancers

Drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound have transformed treatment for obesity and diabetes. Now researchers are excited about their potential impact on other conditions, including addiction and sleep apnea — and even cancer.

Hormone-Disrupting Fungicides Found on Most Citrus Fruit Samples

Tests commissioned by EWG in 2020 found the two hormone-disrupting fungicides, imazalil and thiabendazole, on nearly 90 percent of non-organic citrus fruit samples. More than half the samples contained both fungicides.

Gen X, Millennials Face Higher Risk of Certain Cancers than Older Generations

Researchers aren’t sure why but say a combination of factors, including obesity, more sedentary behavior, common medications or chemical exposures, is possible.

Younger generations have a heightened risk of some cancers, new research found. 

A study published Wednesday in Lancet Public Health found that Gen X and millennials are more likely to be diagnosed with 17 types of cancer, including nine that had been declining in older adults. Researchers aren’t sure why, but say obesity is likely a leading cause.

Making One Diet Change For 8 Weeks Could Turn Back The Clock on Aging

A new study suggests it doesn't take long for a diet free of animal products to slow biological aging rates, with the heart, liver, and hormonal and inflammatory systems all benefitting from the temporary change.

Why Does Cancer Risk Skyrocket As We Age? How ‘Inflammaging’ is the New Tool to End the Disease

One of the biggest mysteries of cancer is why it predominantly and almost exclusively targets people in middle age or older. 

100% of Toxic “Forever Chemicals" Break Down Overnight in New Reaction

Scientists in Japan have developed a new method for breaking down toxic “forever chemicals” quickly and at room temperature. The technique broke down 100% of certain types of these pollutants overnight, recovering some useful components for reuse.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a broad class of chemicals that have excellent stability and resistance to water and heat, largely thanks to their strong carbon-fluorine bonds. This makes them perfect for everything from non-stick cookware to firefighting foam and water-repellant clothing.

Scientists Investigating Explosion of Colon Cancers in Young People Make ‘Profound' Discoveries About Diet

A group of researchers currently working to determine why young people are getting diagnosed with colon cancer at alarming rates wound up making some "profound" discoveries about our diets.

People who eat Western diets, characterized by high fat and sugar intake, have a greater risk of colorectal cancer and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), according to an international review of what people eat around the world.
