Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowCancer Cases Are Climbing—Here’s WhyDid you know cancer could be the #1 cause of early deaths worldwide by 2050? A new report says cases are set to jump 74%—mostly because we’re living longer. In the US, skin, breast, and prostate cancers top the list, but colorectal cancer is rising fast in younger people (think: under 50). Big factors? Obesity, processed foods, and less access to screenings in some communities. The good news: cancer deaths are down 34% in 30 years, thanks to better detection and treatment! #CancerAwareness #HealthNews #Prevention #Health #BodyHealth8741Share

shermandarlene+FollowCancer Patient Convicted Over Car Tax?!Imagine battling cancer and then getting a criminal record for forgetting to pay your car tax. That’s what happened to a woman in Newmarket, thanks to a fast-track court system that doesn’t even let prosecutors see personal letters explaining situations like hers. Now, there’s a push to change this flawed process, but some big players (like the BBC!) are resisting. It’s wild how many vulnerable people are getting caught up in this mess.
