A physician has expressed concern regarding the increase in cancer cases among young individuals, stating that “every new patient” who visits his clinic is under the age of 45.
Dr. Nicholas DeVito, an oncologist at Duke University in North Carolina, has reported that he and his colleagues have witnessed a complete demographic shift in recent years.
He is attributing the proliferation of junk food diets to his daily observations, conversations with patients, and data analysis.
The United States consumes approximately 75% of its food as ultra-processed, which is replete with additives and potentially hazardous ingredients.
A high intake of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has been linked to over 30 conditions, such as multiple malignancies and an early death, in numerous studies.
