The REAL Reason Younger People Are Dying of Colon Cancer 

1. Avoid smoking & alcohol 2. Avoid excess sugar 3. Avoid refined carbohydrates 4. Avoid trans fats 5. Avoid processed meats 6. Eat enough unprocessed fiber 7. Do intermittent fasting YOU GOT THIS

It’s sad how the big food companies get away with selling us food that’s killing us. This shows how sleep the average American is.

Great video! I am 52, I had a colonoscopy as a preventative measure ordered by my primary. They removed a precancerous polyp. I can not stress enough how bad people make the procedure seem when it is truly not that bad. If your primary is suggesting you to get a colonoscopy, do it! It is an easy way to prevent colon cancer when you get older.

So, basically, everything I've been eating, I have to cut down or out. It's so hard eating healthy when you're stuck in a bad eating habit. I don't sleep well, and I've noticed some signs of pre-diabetes, unfortunately. Watching this has reminded me to keep trying.

Broccoli sprouts…eat your organic greens. Turmeric for inflammation. I’m 74 family has colon, stomach and ovarian cancer. Their eating habits were horrible. They’re all gone. I’m healthy all organic, gluten free for years. You are what you eat I do believe.

5:07 The sound really captured the emotion of this piece.

A study in Japan involving over 40,000 men found that those who had the highest intake of magnesium had a greater than 50% reduced risk of contracting colon cancer. A study from the Netherlands showed a 19% reduction in colorectal adenomas (precursors to colon tumors) for every additional 100 mg increase in magnesium intake, there was a 19% reduction in colorectal adenomas (precursors to colon tumors). The researchers also noted that each additional intake of 100 mg of magnesium corresponded with a 12% reduction in colorectal cancer risk.

What worries me, Dr. Hansen, is that no one seems to want to talk about health anymore. On sports radio, of all places, they were talking about this. Growing up in the 80's-90's we got nutrition hammered into our little skulls, some of it dubious (food pyramid), but at least we were told to move and not to eat junk food. The radio hosts were saying they ask their kids about nutrition and good health, and they have no clue, no interest. They aren't hearing it at school. They don't see it on TV, or hear it on the radio (OK, I'm showing my age). It really worries me. My father grew up in the 60's and ate a typical 60's meat and potatoes diet, probably without a lot of processed food. Now he has diabetes. I grew up in the 80's with fruit loops and TV dinners, which we usually didn't get because we couldn't afford them - but I'm trying to improve my health because I'm pre-diabetic. My kids eat absolutely terrible diets because they have junk shoved on them from everywhere - usually for free. Where will they be in 20-30 years?

why do we need a gross farting noise in the middle of this video?

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, there are about 26 grams of sugar in 8 ounces of white grape juice. That’s about 6 1/2 teaspoons of sugar

Thank you for the information! (The sound effects are distracting and unnecessary.)

One of the men I thought was most likely to be the last man standing, an athlete, healthy eater, and low body weight. I was shocked to learn he passed at 66 of Colon Cancer, as he was one of the healthiest people I knew. It can happen to anyone; the best advice is to do all you can. We have no guarantees.

I had multiple health problem primarily the frequent tonsillitis, migraine, eosinophilia, running nose, drowsiness, frequent symptoms of cold, fewer, acidity, fatty liver, bloating, high cholesterol, elevated bilirubin count, irritable bowl syndrome, leaky gut syndrome, boarder sugar, frequent tooth aches. All gone in one go 20 years ago with liver and gut cleanse. Gone are the medicine too I used to consume around 5/6 of them daily. In 20 years I am yet to get cold fewer or allergies and absolutely no cholesterol, sugar level has crashed and so is my weight. You are the best doctor and our body has the amazing ability to heal itself. Believe in self healing and keep listening to very mild weak signals the body sends when it’s in trouble.

As a colon cancer survivor (stage 3) you don't want to go through this believe me between the surgery, the chemo, the colostomy bag your life is turned upside down get screened early don't put it off til it's too late !

And also remember, just because a wrap looks healthy and lean doesn’t mean is super healthy. Many coffee shops offer food that comes in a bag; such as their chicken which looks lean but it is already cooked and who knows what type of oils and chemicals it has. Unfortunately these days most people don’t even have the time to cook some chicken at home.

Thank you for this information...Finally, you are talking about lowering sugar and carbohydrate consumption because this is not just about colon cancer but also other types of cancer and other diseases...Just take the average consumption of sugar per year now and 100 years ago. It is crazy the consumption of sugars has increased tremendously. :(

Wait.. was that sound effect at [05:11] meant to be a good sign?

The Adventist Health Study found that those who didn't eat meat were significantly less likely to have multiple types of cancer, including colon cancer. They were also less likely to have ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity.

Kids sitting on their butts all day playing video games, watching RU-vid, Social media....much more than previous decades likely is a big factor too

I'm 76. During childhood, we were fed the four major food groups on a regular basis: sugar, refined flour, Hi-C for vitamins, and saturated fats. During most of my adulthood, I consumed the major food groups for adults: alcohol, sweet and low (saccharine), white flour, Crisco oil, broccoli with tons of cheese and margarine. Many of us stopped smoking about 20 years ago and no longer do drugs, not much anyway. We're all deaf from too much loud rock and fat from the 3 bags of Doritos we ate after toking. It's been an interesting experience.

Had a precancerous polyp removed. I’m 28 and was having symptoms. Colonoscopy saved my future self.

Refined carbohydrates is probably the hardest thing to get away from due to a LOT of foods are within this group.

I heard also that todays food have less vitamins compared to before.. maybe this is a factor as well?

I think intermittent fasting is really important and something people overlook these days. And also, taking ayurvedic triphala powder every night after meal will definitely help in cleansing the intestine.

No matter what you eat, no one makes it out alive 🤷‍♂️

You say high fructose corn syrup is worst, because it's a 50:50 ratio of glucose and fructose. Which doesn't make sense because: 1) ordinary sucrose is also a fixed 50:50 ratio, therefore should be as bad 2) actually the ratio in HIGH FRUCTOSE corn syrup is skewed towards fructose, which is more detrimental to the body, and that's why HFCS is considered worse (as far as I understand it)

5:06 mark background farting had me dying laughing 🤣

The amount of psyllium husk that I eat every day in my keto buns keeps me running pretty darn regular and smooth.

Vegetable oil is the biggest killer in modern society, and the worst thing about it is... it's EVERYWHERE. Even in advertised healthy foods like hummus, it's like 30% vegetable oil.

Extremely addictive 👌🏽 just when I thought it was no other DR interesting to listen to this DR came with solid information… A little fast on the delivery but I got ALL the facts spoken 🏆🏆🏆🏆💯🆙

I should point out a mistake here. Smoking point in oils is not the same as the point of break down. Just because you see smoke it doesn’t mean that the oil is being hydrogenated or oxidized or becoming carcinogenic. Olive oil has a lower smoking point than other oils but it’s one of the most stable ones. It also has antioxidants. The only oils that cause cancer are the ones that are used and reused like in restaurants. To know more see Adam Ragusea video on this.

Thank you very much for your channel. I wish you many success with it!

How about using the toilet in a sitting position vs a squatting position? I believe there are studies done on this and its correlation to significantly less cases of colon cancer in 3rd world countries (many have the "hole in the ground" style toilet).

I work with younger people. all they do is eat candy, vape and participate in extracuricular activities that would be hard on their colons.

Great video but just a word about processed meats which have been laughingly described as a class 1 carcinogen. Just to give you an idea, the chance of any adult contracting colon cancer has been calculated to be 4.3 per cent. Someone eating a lot of processed meats has a 16 per cent higher chance of colon cancer. 16 per cent of 4.3 is 0.688%. Therefore if you stuff yourself with bacon sandwiches on a daily basis for your whole life your chance of getting colon cancer rises by way less than 1 per cent. Compare this with smoking tobacco where the mortality rate is something like 50 per cent of those who smoke.

Disagree fiber is the worst thing it should’ve been the first thing to avoid not the most important thing to avoid. There are many people on the carnivore diet that never eat fiber like me I have perfect bm. You have to heal your gut from mouth to……. And you can’t do that when you’re stressing out your system with fiber

The sound effects seem inappropriate considering this is a very personal life or death issue

I'm 25 and recently feel something in my large intestine but it turns out to just be a painful turd. Although that might be a risk factor as well.

Dairy. I sh1t you not, cutting out dairy alone made a huge difference for both me and my girlfriends digestion, bowel movements and flatulence.

I got colon cancer diagnosis almost 2 years ago. im 53 and was, according to friends, the "healthiest guy they knew" this is a good list but it ignores a main issue. GMO crops. I think that going organic should be #2 #2 should read completely get rid of sugar and pretty much all grains. this is more controversial, but adding breathwork into your exercise program might be as important as any of these! we know, above all else, 2 things about cancer (nobel prizes given for this) cancer HATES Oxygen and it HATES a relatively alkaline biome. on some level, past these simple ideas, there is a truly healthy way to eat and live. we get to find it. can't wait for MD, they are not interested in helping us in this way. not from my experience...

I think lack of exercise is a big factor, along with poor diet. I have never seen so many overweight people in the UK, particularly young females. I mean seriously obese.

Consider me an N=1 experiment. I would argue it’s much simpler. I have a family history of colon cancer. I’ve been getting a regular colonoscopy since I was 45 years old. In 2010, at age 57, the first polyp appeared. Two in 2013, three in 2016, four in 2019. I also had IBS, gastric reflux and diverticulitis. Early in 2019, I decided to go on a low carb/ketogenic diet. Very strict at first, less strict later. Probably average around 50g/day of carbs, but strictly limit sugar and refined carbs. I eat lots of red meat, bacon, cured meats and cheese. I’ve almost eliminated fiber from my diet. I intermittent fast regularly. No trans fats or vegetable oils. IBS and gastric reflux disappeared in two weeks. In the first six months, I went from almost 260 lbs to now holding 190-200. I feel better and have more energy at 70 than at 60. Blood work much better. Triglycerides from 100+ to 45. Total cholesterol from 220s to 180-190. Because of pandemic, most recent colonoscopy was delayed to four years instead of three. Result….ZERO polyps, much reduced diverticulitis. BMs much easier than before. Nitrates, nitrites, fiber are red herrings. It’s all about sugar, seed oils, and refined carbs. Eat less often and don’t live on carbs. There are essential fats and amino acids, but no essential carbs. Your body can make all the glucose it needs. Exercise won’t help unless you train your body to use fat for fuel. Listen to/read Jason Fung. He explains this better than anyone.

High heat cooking also produces AGE's and glycate the cells in the body which leads to plaque buildup in the arteries.

Drugs , Smoking and Cheap Foods

‘Please don’t feed us people food. We require a special natural diet in order to stay healthy. People food makes us sick’ Sign in front of the Gorilla Exhibit at the New Orleans Zoo back in the 1980’s. I read that and then looked out over the crowd of humans and I saw many sickly looking Obese people with big pot bellies, greasy oily skin with a pasty complexion, many with acne. And many were stuffing their faces with Cotton Candy and eating ‘Hot Dogs on a Stick’ and drinking Big Gulp type drinks. ……… We share nearly 99% the same DNA with Chimpanzees and nearly 98% The same DNA with Gorillas. And their moms aren’t feeding them Cap-N-Crunch, Coco Pebbles, Froot Loops, Sugar Frosted Flakes, sugary donuts, sweet coffee drinks, and other assorted junk food. Humans suffer from literally thousands of diseases. Our Great Ape Cousins are pretty much disease free except for bacterial and viral infections. They don’t suffer from diseases like cancer, not in the Wild.

In order to turn monounsaturated fats such as olive oil, which have high resistance to the oxidation and hydrogenation, into trans fats, you probably need to takes several hours of heating, cooking with olive oil, especially for home cooking, should probably be very safe?

Does a genetic condition like Colitis, Celiac, or Diverticulitulosis, etc. make you more susceptible?

Finally i had found the cure for cancer, "STOP EATING"

I’m pretty sure the main cause is GMO foods, which is in everything we eat. Even Canola,Soy, and wheat are all modified

1. Sugar 2. Refined carbs 3. Trans fats 4. PAH 5. (Lack of) Fiber 6. (Lack of) Fasting

Why would a doctor put the "most important one" at the end?

My brother died of colon cancer. He refused to get a colonoscophy durng his life because of the expense. He claimed is was a doctor rip off. That additude killed him.

Literally, everything is bad for us.... eat grass all day!!! What kind of life is that

No mention of glyphosate

This is undoable/unsustainable on sooo many levels...

That Ezekiel bread is facts lol, I left it out of the freezer for literally 3 days and it went bad, that stuff is real bread. Now I always keep it in the freezer, it’s literally in a freezer in stores

most tortilla wraps are bad, but not all. There are still a few brands that sell tortillas made only with corn, water, salt, lime. Admittedly, there are not a lot of brands out there that do this, but they're out there.

So essentially….we’re screwed!!!😱

Don't eat. You live longer

I try to eat mostly organic pasture raised grassfed meat and organic vegetables from biodynamic regenerative farms bc the soil, water, air quality affects the lifespan and health span of everything and everyone.

This guy is a doctor and STILL doesnt know what causes insulin resistance lol.

Fasting, exercise, fiber, no sugar, and genetics play a factor.

People in general don’t eat raw garlic which itself greatly reduces your chances of getting cc in the first place.

could do without that badly edited sound effects but loved the info

Dr. Hansen: It's absurd to say that "high-fructose corn syrup" is the worst kind of sugar. HFCS is a misnomer, just as it would be a misnomer to say that cane (or beet) sugar is high fructose. Upon consumption, cane and beet sugars (sucrose) are immediately converted to glucose + fructose. Exactly the same as HFCS. There is no essential difference between sucrose and HFCS. In fact HFCS may be preferable to sucrose since it provides more sweetening power per calorie than sucrose.

Thank you so much Dr Mike ❤️

I have been thinking about this and wondering if I would later down the line be susceptible to colon cancer, and I am not sure if my family has a history of it; and funnily enough as I've been thinking about this, new videos on this topic show up 🤔 *I have one question, is pure palm sugar (such as those from SEAn countries) beneficial compared to white refined processed sugar we have here in the west? Is there any benefits or adverse side effects compared to white sugar and high fructose C.S. in high amounts? Look forward to seeing your response!* *Palm sugar processing uses the natural palm tree and/or coconut sap and is boiled and reduced to make the end product, most do not add anything to it other than water to dilute the end product. Most are of yellow and brown color here in the west.*

Alcohol is the NUMBER ONE reason IMO.

If that was true then GenX would have higher rates of colon cancer, not zoomers.

Oat bran,psyllium, Triphala Salads, Cole slaw,beets Flax seed meal etc

Avoid fried food. Avoid too much smoking or alcohol. Take multivitamins. Eat and be happy.

I wanted to fight you Doc when you said"waffles". But I got over it!😆 And whose passing gas in this video? Lol

Alcohol, tobacco and Added Sugar should not be “avoided”. They should be fully ABSTAINED.

What's up with the audio... perhaps you should wear a lavaliere microphone. Otherwise I love you and your videos!

Seems something should be said for drinking a lot of water to wash and clear the bad stuff.

If the ‘last one’ is the most important, then why did you put it at the end of the video? That pretty much sums up the medical industry.

Why do trials with fibre fail to prevent adenomas?

You can do all of this n be hit by a car tomorrow!! I totally get the Alcohol and smoking thing but life’s way too short to worry about if I heated my oil too much !! I APPRECIATE you Dr Mike n actually will take some of this into consideration tho ❤❤❤

I used to eat a bag of snickers at one time, ride my bike next to fields being crop dusted, eat bologna sandwiches, drink coke when I was a kid

Doc got it right but I do wonder if Chadwick could’ve been saved or was it because he was working so much

everyone listen carefully at 5:07 again

Exercise + water + moderate eating. Colon cancer's chances arises due to other problems in the colon cavity such as pockets and ulcers. You need to avoid those problems to lessen your chances.

Please...lose the sound effects...TOTAL DISTRACTION...adds nothing to the information. When cooking with oil, consider avocado. Aside from its health benefits, it has the highest flashpoint as well a mild flavor. Avocado Oil ROCKS!!

The sound effects distract from the message and compromise the seriousness of the content. It's unnecessary and sophomoric.

It should have been mentioned that many plants like rucola, spinach, and salad contain high amounts of nitrate.

There are people who have been on an all-red meat diet for 5, 10 and more years. No plant-based anything, and no fiber.. They attest to weight loss, improved skin, less inflammation, more energy etc.. Seems to have merit but doesn't fit into this regime. Why is that? .

My Mother and my Sister both smoked and both died of Cancer !!! I am 68 yrs old and never had Cancer !!! I eat lots of pulses, wholegrain cereals, tinned fish, and uncooked olive oil. I don't smoke or drink alchohol !!! I have lots of bran and fibre and I never eat Margarine or Trans Fats, just a bit of Sunflower or Rapeseed oil !!!! I eat chicken and dried vegetables and some rice or real chips made from real potatoes !!! I can't stand frozen chips !!!! I cook Chinese, Italian, Mexican and Turkish type food which tastes fantastic, but is not full of Chemicals like Ready Made Processed Meals !!!!

It's the pharmaceutical preservatives and additives as well as the legal drugs such as antibiotics etc.

Also... recent studies are showing that carrying cell phones in the back pocket of jeans or slacks is a suspected cause of increasing colon cancer rates among younger men. Studies say the cell phone should be kept at a distance of at 3" to 6" from your body and that many or most brands of cell phones state inaccurate and overrated rf safety exposure levels in their information. Try carrying it in belt holster or the (side leg) pocket of cargo pants. Something to keep at least some distance...

My guess would be it’s largely because of obesity and inactivity. That just makes the most sense.

Hey just a reminder, some folks like myself have more sensitive ears and those FX sounds were a bit too much.

i hate life i want to evaporate forreal. why am i here. just to suffer. why was i made.

Do you have links to the studies referenced?

I thought I released one at 5:10 during the video. Replayed it to confirm i heard what i heard.😅

I lost a friend to colon cancer last year. He wasn't an alcoholic or a smoker, but he did have health issues and a weak immune system. He was in his mid 50s. RIP Thomas Kutlow.

The worst thing that happened is most people no longer cook their own food due to everybody working. They buy fast and prepared food.

I pretty much figure living life at all causes cancer at this point. How to avoid cancer: 1. Don't eat 2. Don't drink anything, even water is contaminated now 3. Don't breathe 4. Don't touch anything 5. Don't ingest any substance at all actually 6. Sleep but don't sleep too much or too little 7. Don't look at things 8. Stay cold and hot simultaneously 9. Exercise every minute 10. Get enough rest. 11. Avoid the sun but also get enough sun. 12. Avoid humans but also interact with them. 13. Avoid technology. 14. Don't think too much but don't be thoughtless. 15. Don't go to work or get a job. 16. Probably just don't come to Earth (Joke 😂)

So don't eat anything at all. Got it. Thank you

Dr. Abramson said on JRE podcast 80% of our health is due to our lifestyle choices. Look at how many young people are overweight/obese. They consume fast food and energy drinks like they are going out of style.

My friends just lost their 19 year old son to colon cancer. We’ve grown to expect older people to get cancer but terminal colon cancer at 19 is just mind blowing. Devastating 😔.
