April Anderson+FollowChildhood Gut Toxins & Colon Cancer Link?Wild new research just dropped: scientists found a gut toxin from certain E. coli (colibactin) might be why more young people are getting colon cancer. This toxin leaves a DNA “fingerprint” in your colon cells, and it’s way more common in early-onset cases. Basically, what’s in your gut as a kid could set you up for colon cancer decades later. Docs say to get screened at 45, even if you feel fine. Who knew your childhood microbiome could haunt you? #ColonCancer #HealthNews #GutHealth #EarlyDetection #Microbiome #Health101Share
Joseph Bradley+FollowChildhood Gut Bug Linked to Colon Cancer?Wild new research just dropped: scientists think a gut bacteria you pick up as a kid could be the reason colon cancer is spiking in young adults. The culprit? A toxin from certain E. coli strains called colibactin, which leaves a DNA "fingerprint" in your colon—sometimes decades before cancer shows up. About 15% of early cancer-driving mutations are linked to this bug! Researchers are now working on a test to catch these changes early. Crazy how something from childhood could come back like this! #ColonCancer #HealthNews #GutHealth #ScienceUpdate #EarlyDetection #Health230Share
