And is the Conventional Medical Establishment really serious about looking at the reasons?
The BBC (and other mainstream media platforms) seem to be convinced that it is, as evidence in their article “11 cancers on the rise in young people - scientists find first clue why it’s happening”. So the issue is being raised, but is the conventional medical establishment seriously investigating the reasons.
The article refers to a study published in BMJ Oncology, “Temporal trends in behavioural risk factors for cancers with rising incidence in younger adults: an analysis of population-based data in England”. The objective of the study was “to assess whether changes in behavioural risk factors could explain rising cancer incidence in younger adults in England, and to evaluate the extent to which established and suspected risk factors contribute to these trends”. The study was conducted by The Institute of Cancer Research and Imperial College London, and the study says it looked at various life-style factors, including:
Physical activity.
Obesity (maintaining a healthy weight).
Consumption of Ultra-processed foods.
Forever chemicals (or PFAS).
Antibiotic use.
Consumption of sweetened drinks.
Air pollution.
Gut bacteria.
Pesticides.
The study admitted that there “was a lot we don’t know”. So we must believe, then, that the study authors were not aware that cancer is a well-known side effect of most pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines. Antibiotic drugs were mentioned - but even this is virtually dismissed! Instead they focused on Obesity.
“The report said the only data that aligned with the increase in cancer was levels of overweight and obesity, which has been on the rise since the 1990s.”
What this means is that we have been presented with yet another ‘scientific’ study that is “selective” about what it prepared to investigate. There is no doubt that conventional medicine is fully aware of the link between cancer and pharmaceutical drugs (for people of all ages). The knowledge is contained within their own literature. The link is routinely published in the British National Formulary, and websites such as drugs.com.
I have listed the main drugs that are know to cause cancer, here, Iatrogenic Diease. The pharmaceutical drugs known to cause cancer. They include psychiatric drugs, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), the contraceptive pill, Statin drugs, antibiotics, Proton Pump inhibitors, ACE inhibitors, most vaccines, and many, many more. So why was this well known, well documented cause of cancer omitted from the study? I hazard a guess.
If you don’t investigate you cannot implicate.
I hazard another guess: that the organisations that set up and conducted this research are funded by the pharmaceutical industry. So it was not so much that the authors were not aware of the link - it was that they were not permitted to included pharma drugs in the study. It would be bad for business. And bad for the funding that Pharma provides to universities, and ‘medical science’!
One of the problem that arises from such studies (and there are many) is that it sends conventional medicine on a wild goose chase. Their attention becomes focused on obesity. And worse, that it leads to treatment that involves patients taking more cancer-causing drugs that target obesity.
In this case, singling out ‘obesity’ will almost undoubtedly lead to the increased prescription of Pharma’s new ‘wonder drug’, GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wygovy, et al. At the moment, as part of the promotion of these drugs, medical science is suggesting that they might actually reduce cancer. I have serious doubts about this, not least because there are already early signs that GLP-1 drugs can cause cancer, see for example here, “Can Weight-Loss Drugs Cause Cancer?
Even in these early days of GLP-1 use, the drugs.com website is already giving this warning.
“Additionally, animal studies suggest Ozempic has the potential to cause thyroid cancer, which may lead to lumps in the throat and dysphagia”.
