Recent National Geographic article talks about:

Colon cancer rates are rising in adults under 50—especially in their 30s and 40s.

New research links early childhood exposure to gut bacteria with DNA-damaging toxins (like colibactin) to this alarming trend.

Early detection = life-saving treatment. If you’re 45+, it’s time to get screened—even if you feel fine.

Stats to share:

• 1 in 5 colorectal cancers now diagnosed in people under 54

• 3x higher rate of colibactin-related mutations in patients under 40

• 90% survival rate when caught early
