Amid the alarming trend of colorectal cancer cases rising among young people, a new study has pinpointed a potential source.
Researchers from University of California San Diego have linked a bacterial toxin called colibactin to the increase in early-onset cases.
Colibactin is produced by certain strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli) that exist in the colon and rectum, according to the researchers.
COLORECTAL CANCER RISK REDUCED BY THIS COMMON VITAMIN, STUDY SUGGESTS
Exposure to the bacterial toxin during early childhood can alter the DNA of colon cells in a way that increases the risk of developing colorectal cancer before age 50, the study found.
The study, which was funded by Cancer Research UK, was published in the journal Nature on April 23.
«The key takeaway is that exposure to colibactin is likely a major contributor to early-onset colorectal cancer,» senior author Ludmil Alexandrov, professor in the Shu Chien-Gene Lay Department of Bioengineering and the Department of Cellular a..

In a world of sitting at desks and slumping in front of screens, back pain is known to be the most common ailment among Americans.
Dr. Arthur L. Jenkins III, a board-certified neurosurgeon in New York — who is also fellowship-trained in spinal surgery and CEO of Jenkins NeuroSpine — blamed slouching and poor posture for grave effects on the back.
Poor posture stretches the spine in a way it’s «really not designed to do,» Jenkins said in an interview with Fox News Digital.
JUST 1 IN 10 BACK PAIN TREATMENTS WORK, STUDY SAYS – WHAT TO DO INSTEAD
«We stand much better than we sit,» he said. «And we find more people having that pain when they're working or when they've been sitting for a while – it's just a terrible position for our spines.»
«Tech neck,» or excessive forward posture, is caused by looking down at devices, including phones and laptops, the expert noted.
Being in this «suboptimal» position while sitting down for long periods of time can be damaging.

A mother of two credits ChatGPT for saving her life, claiming the artificial intelligence chatbot flagged the condition leading to her cancer when doctors missed it.
Lauren Bannon, who divides her time between North Carolina and the U.S. Virgin Islands, first noticed in Feb. 2024 that she was having trouble bending her fingers in the morning and evening, as reported by Kennedy News and Media.
After four months, the 40-year-old was told by doctors that she had rheumatoid arthritis, despite testing negative for the condition.
WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?
Bannon, who owns a marketing company, then began experiencing excruciating stomach pains and lost 14 pounds in just a month, which doctors blamed on acid reflux.
Desperate to pinpoint the cause of her symptoms, Bannon turned to ChatGPT, the large-language model made by OpenAI.
The chatbot told Bannon that she may have Hashimoto's disease, an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the thy..

Health researchers are sounding the alarm about an endocrine disruptor commonly found in paper receipts – and they say it doesn't take long for your hands to absorb the chemical.
In an Apr. 14 statement, the Center for Environmental Health (CEH) announced a notice of violation for 32 retailers that allegedly had high levels of Bisphenol S (BPS) in their receipts.
In the official notice of violation on April 11, the companies named dozens of national corporations.
MEN'S MULTIVITAMINS RECALLED DUE TO UNDECLARED ALLERGEN: FDA
The organization described Bisphenol S (BPS) as the «lesser-known but harmful chemical cousin to BPA in receipt paper,» and described the organic compound as «hormone-disrupting.»
«BPS, like [Bisphenol A] … mimics estrogen and can disrupt the normal functioning of the body, including metabolism, growth and development, and reproduction,» the statement said.
«Studies show that BPS can be absorbed through skin when handling receipt paper – even for short pe..

Researchers at NYU Langone Health and its Perlmutter Cancer Center have revealed that blood tests could predict the return of skin cancer.
Melanoma is a less common form of skin cancer that is more dangerous than other varieties, according to the American Cancer Society.
This is because it’s much more likely to spread to other parts of the body if not found and treated early.
CANCER REPORT REVEALS SURPRISING NEW DATA ON DEATHS, DIAGNOSES
The new cancer research, published in The Lancet Oncology journal, examined the levels of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) found in cancer patients' blood.
Approximately 80% of stage 3 melanoma patients who had detectable levels of ctDNA (before they started treatment) went on to experience a return of the cancer later, according to a press release from NYU Langone.
Stage 3 melanoma – one of the most aggressive forms of skin cancer – occurs when the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes.

Dementia cases continue to rise in the U.S., with people over age 55 facing a 42% risk of developing the condition in their lifetime.
A recent study led by Johns Hopkins predicted half a million dementia cases in 2025 and one million per year by 2060.
That doesn’t mean people are powerless in reducing their risk, however, according to Dr. Joel Salinas, a behavioral neurologist and associate professor at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.
BLOOD PRESSURE AND DEMENTIA RISK SHARE SURPRISING LINK, STUDY SUGGESTS
Salinas joined Fox News Digital in an on-camera interview to discuss what’s driving the spike in dementia cases and what behavioral changes could provide some degree of cognitive protection. (See the video at the top of the article.)
One of the biggest factors in the increase is demographics, noted Salinas, who is also the co-founder and chief medical officer of Isaac Health, a virtual memory clinic for brain health and memory issues.
