The longer lifespan thing can’t be overstated. I know a gal, 93, who has survived half a dozen different cancers, the first of which would’ve killed her in her early 60s. She now shuffles around having outlived all her friends and family. Aren’t we lucky to have modern medicine?
>Why is cancer, and diseases in general, so common in the modern age?
Because people live longer and we have eliminated most diseases people died from in the past. You wouldn't die from cancer in ancient Egypt because you would die from the flu, tuberculosis or even a parasite or simple virus. Cancer appears more because we're good at medicine now.
A cancer expert wrote an entire book about why that is rightt, homosexual. When do you think mos people get cancer? When they get older. Most people in the past don't even made it that long, they died from other things.
Diagnosis capability. We know what to look for and what we're looking at. Go diagnose diabetes in the 1800's (and yes, Type 1 is related to your pancreas, not being a fatass)
Microplastics and the proliferation of genetically modified food.
If the human race survives, our decendents will wonder how we allowed for-profit businesses control things for so long, when the downsides were so obvious.
All human disease boil down to inflammation. It's that simple. Everything in the modern world causes inflammation; food, air pollution, stress (big one), even the medicine we take.
sensible eating
exercise
fresh air/nature appreciation
reasonable stress management* (can go too far; some stress is necessary to lead an effective fulfilling life, look at the ASMR cult to see how fragile people become when they get addicted to "destressing")
Because other things don't kill us as often anymore, and because you have infinitely more access to news of famous people dying than any generation in history, on account of there being 1. more famous people 2. denser information streams 3. more time spent sitting on your ass reading gossip

Reminder that doctors and scientists don't actually understand anything about cancer, much less why it happens. All they do is cut shit out and guess what medicine to give you by trial and error. They literally do not know why shit like Gabapentin works (or doesn't). They just get your permission to charge your insurance/government for random shit that destroys your body (and maybe the cancer too if you're lucky)
While you're right we don't know precisely know how a lot of medications work (particularly anti psychotics), modern medicine still has a long way to go admittedly. but we do understand why cancer happens, and are able to 'cure' a large number of them. there is much to still learn and more technology to develop but we'll get there.
Also i'm against the covid mandates if its any consolation. they entirely profiteered off hysteria and bad science.

The end
I’m guessing this correlates with an aging population, with the recent spike representing a bit of a backlog from people not seeking or receiving treatment during the nothingburger pandemic
Yeah you’re right, my post is dumb: the timing is wrong. I retract it and suggest that we don’t have nearly enough information to draw any conclusions. Besides, it’s Switzerland. Who gives a shit about Switzerland? Bunch of fence sitting pussies
Why is cancer, and diseases in general, so common in the modern age?
Longer lifespan, greater exposure to carcinogens that weren't relevant decades and centuries ago, greater detection methods, etc.
The longer lifespan thing can’t be overstated. I know a gal, 93, who has survived half a dozen different cancers, the first of which would’ve killed her in her early 60s. She now shuffles around having outlived all her friends and family. Aren’t we lucky to have modern medicine?
1. Processed food
2. We can detect cancer better than ever
"cigarettes are cool", microplastics yada yada

I have an air filter running 24/7 in my room, which I rarely leave.
What type of air filter do you have? Looking to get one myself.
A piss-soaked bandana.
>What type of air filter do you have? Looking to get one myself.

Made myself
Nice. How frequently do you find you need to clean/replace the filters? Any advice on making one?
>Nice. How frequently do you find you need to clean/replace the filters? Any advice on making one?
You need to make a new one every year.
Here is how you build it:
>my room, which I rarely leave.
This isn't healthy in and of itself and you're probably going to die sooner than most of us.
Shit in the air, shit in our food, and shit in our water
>Why is cancer, and diseases in general, so common in the modern age?

That's probably bullshit
Agreed. Sounds like "we didn't have flu because covid".

There are kids developing cancer before they hit double digits and babies being born with it at ever increasing rates. How do you explain that?
Mutations don’t actually give you super powers. Less than a hundred years ago most people died before they were two years old. You just dumb
Horseshit. Most of the people I've known who died of cancer, got it and died in their 40s to 60s. Not that old. """Experts""" are grifters.
40 to 60 is old grandpa

What doesn't cause inflammation then?
I eat them as a precaution
sensible eating
exercise
fresh air/nature appreciation
reasonable stress management* (can go too far; some stress is necessary to lead an effective fulfilling life, look at the ASMR cult to see how fragile people become when they get addicted to "destressing")
>the ASMR cult
pls redpill me about dem
we have records of cancer going back 3600 years, and the disease carries the name hippocrates used for it in one of his medical texts 2400 years ago
Because other things don't kill us as often anymore, and because you have infinitely more access to news of famous people dying than any generation in history, on account of there being 1. more famous people 2. denser information streams 3. more time spent sitting on your ass reading gossip
You forgot one:
>4. more vaxxes
chile
because it's better detected, much sooner, and cured more easily
and people live longer with unhealthy habits (even in rich countries)
there is some interesting correlation between electrification and certain diseases of civilization going back to the first telegraph networks
>It's time Prue, join us
more like cancer do-her-dirty

To be fair they are including people that live in places like China and India. The United States is only 4% of the global population
i can save u baby
come to me
Life is done with her tho
Wow, how does Rosanne Barr look better now than she did in the 90s?
People with bad genetics breeding more people with bad genetics who spread their bad genetics.
Time to bust one more for Shannen, love her giant breasts. Out of respect of course.
She did like two playboy spreads. someone post them
That is sad. Cancer is a shitty disease.

Frick doctors and frick medical science.
doctor gay here.

Cancer medication recipients in Switzerland
I’m guessing this correlates with an aging population, with the recent spike representing a bit of a backlog from people not seeking or receiving treatment during the nothingburger pandemic
Yes, that's it homosexual. People waited from 2017 until 2021 to start cancer medication and double the trending number. That's the one.
Yeah you’re right, my post is dumb: the timing is wrong. I retract it and suggest that we don’t have nearly enough information to draw any conclusions. Besides, it’s Switzerland. Who gives a shit about Switzerland? Bunch of fence sitting pussies
Jump in front of a train, oxygen thieving shill.
Pick a side Swissy
>I'm guessing
Well you're wrong.
