      I am getting a "Secure Connection Failed" error.

        What is your DNS sever? You might try Cloudflare for DNS (1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1), it has good privacy and works with archive.is

        • OutOfHere 15 hours ago ago

          I will never use Cloudflare. I use NextDNS.

            I’m also using NextDNS and haven’t been able to load any of these archive domains in at least a few days now

            Why are you so opposed to CloudFlare? It's not perfect, but definitely better than Google and most ISP's... You might try an experiment to see if you are able to reach the archive.ph domain with CloudFlare, if only to see if DNS is the problem.

    Possible factors: (micro)plastics, pesticides, excessive calories, excess fat or salt and, the elephant in the room, anxiety.

    All impossible to test in a highly controlled environment.

      Or the other even bigger elephant, immune dysfunction due to repeated infections with SARS-Cov2.. wild how a large gray mammal hides in plain sight

    Peoples exposure to E. Coli is not new. Something else changed in the last few years. What could it be?

      Diet. When I was younger than 16, we and everyone had home cooked meals every day, no choice. Places like McDonalds did not start showing up in my area when I was 12 or 13.

      As time went on, divorce rates increased and/or both spouses were forced to work full time, meals gravitated towards fast and/or ultra-processed food. Why ? The parents had no time to cook.

      So here we are.

      I wish the article had rates based upon household income too. I kind of expect the children of the very rich is avoiding this trend because they could have servants/hired caregivers cooking for them.

        That's an interesting idea however McDonalds has been around since 1940 even if it has not been available to you for very long. I think it must be something else.

          While the comment is phrased like it could say that, I don't think that you are responding to the right point.

          The point was that people eat fewer freshly prepared meals than before. And while I'm on the go, so I won't research a study, I'm pretty sure this is true.

          Additional points:

          - street food in Western countries is never really nourishing, almost exclusively fat, sugar, meat protein and processed white bread

          - quality of fast food has gone down the drain on top of that, at least here

          - not enough daily physical activity

          - lots of stressful jobs without physical activity

          • Bender 14 hours ago ago

            I do get it. People have not been eating fresh foods since at least the 1970's. Fast food has been prevalent and popular since the 70's.

            Something else changed in the last few years. One of these things is not like the other.

            • moritzwarhier 13 hours ago ago

              Might be true, but I don't think malnutrition, sedentary lifestyle etc have peaked in the 70s.

              If these factors are perfectly controlled for, maybe you're right. It would be stupid for me to further engage in discussion about it though, without having read science about this.

              There are other things we know about though, for example an increase in microplastics intake.

            • jmclnx 12 hours ago ago

              Plus do not forget, the article said the "damage" happens in the first 10 years of a child's life. So people born in the 70s are also seeing an increase in colon cancer.

              BTW, for my main comment, I am probably in the top 15% of age distribution of people commenting here.

      Average number of sexual partners has skyrocketed for sure..

      Diet and UPFs as well ? There are so many things that have changed.

      • Bender 16 hours ago ago

        Average number of sexual partners has skyrocketed for sure..

        In the last few years? I would suggest it's much lower than it was in the 60's and 70's during the free love movements and other related movements. Prior to the 80's there was a lot more unprotected sex prior to the aids epidemic. Porn with a lot of body hair basically exploded when VHS tapes were created and people experimented a lot more.

        Diet has certainly gotten worse. Most of the artificial crap was being introduced in the early 70's with a trailing 10 year lag on T2D increase but that has definitely gotten worse with time. What big change was introduced into the diet in the last few years?

    “A new study published in Nature has identified a strong link between childhood exposure to colibactin and colorectal cancer in patients under the age of 40.”

    Dysbiosis deserves 100x more attention as a cause of diseases. Beyond the gut, it even is a factor for heart disease. From its pov, we live in the dark ages.

    Moreover, with increased antibiotic resistance, it could become harder to treat.
