Wild new research just dropped: scientists think a toxin from a specific E. coli strain (not the usual food poisoning kind) might be leaving DNA scars in our guts as kids—possibly setting us up for bowel cancer way earlier than expected. Rates are up 52% in under-50s since the '90s! They’re now working on early detection tests for these mutations. Makes you wonder what else we’re exposed to as kids that comes back later, right? #BowelCancer #HealthNews #EarlyOnsetCancer #Microbiome #ScienceUpdate #Health
