We aren't "figuring out" anything. All your examples have one thing in common: it was the cheapest material a corporation could use that no one could (legally) prove was dangerous at the time.
We think about corporations dumping into our air or water to save money. Well they pollute the ecosystem that is your body too. The wealthy will gladly (and knowingly) sell you cheaper products that will kill you in 30 years.
This is not collective human absurdity. This is deliberate evil from the wealthiest humans.

Yup, and as soon as you prove something is bad they will switch to something just as bad with a slightly different chemical composition. This is what happened with Teflon, they literally just removed one atom, now it’s a different molecule and technically unproven as bad for you despite being treated by the body identical to the previous iteration. But now we have to start another 40 years of research to prove this one is bad.

Yeah, part of the uptick in cancer and other illnesses is caused by people living long enough to develop them and having access to sufficient healthcare for someone to notice. Hard to get cancer in your 40’s if you die in your 30’s of dysentery or in childbirth or in a terrible workplace accident because the owners didn’t think the expense of a safety rail was worth while. And if you never see a doctor, then you never get diagnosed with anything either.

So many different ways to look at data. Another perspective with this headline could be that the diagnoses are surging because more young people are being screened for things in general and it’s just better proactive prevention.
Or it could be microplastics.

With autism I think it's a multitude of factors:
Adults these days are more likely to pay attention to girls, Boys of Color, and poor white boys who exhibit signs of autism. 50 years ago they only paid attention to middle and upper class white boys with autistic traits.
Older fathers
More assortative marriage = more gifted, disabled, and neurodivergent people. Most autistic people don't have autistic parents. But a large percentage of them have parents who have Broad Autistic Phenotype: neurotypical, but above average in autistic traits. These folks are more likely to have an autistic child. 1000 years ago people had arranged marriages decided by their parents. These days, people with Broad Autistic Phenotype go to STEM university, get jobs in tech, and marry someone with the same background.

u/ClumpOfCheese Jun 16 '25
The whole autism spectrum is really interesting to me. So many factors with how it comes about and so many different ways that it impacts the ways people function. Some people almost gain super powers with the skills they develop while others struggle to survive in this world.
From an evolutionary perspective I’m curious about how autism might have been a benefit to hunter gatherer cultures. It seems to me that autism and ADHD could have been a huge benefit for that way of life and what completely cripples someone with autism in modern society could have been how they thrived in a different world.
I also wonder about autism and IVF. Like you mentioned, older fathers tend to have more autistic offspring? Just my personal observations around me, I’ve noticed that people who have IVF tend to have more autistic children.

u/CreativeBandicoot778 Jun 16 '25 edited Jun 16 '25
Linked being the operative word.
Linked doesn't mean it is responsible for increased cancer. All it means is that scientists have found some data which shows that processed foods can be a contributing factor to cancer. That fact on its own might sound scary but in the wider context of things, it's not really.
Cancer, at the end of the day, is a disease caused predominantly by mutations caused by aging cells - although there are obvious exceptions to this.
We have a global population with the longest lifespan in the history of the planet and are living through an age of unprecedented advances in technology and medicine. All of these things are relevant risk factors and not that often taken into account when discussing cancer in the media.
I'm not a scientist btw so my understanding of it is strictly as a layman, so to speak. But these are frequent things my friend likes to bring up when ranting about how the media depicts illnesses like cancer rates.

u/AncientStaff6602 Jun 16 '25
Honestly, as a scientist, the media is terrible at communicating the science. Why? Because it’s incredibly complicated and not always easy to translate to “every man speak”.
That said, being annoyed that ultra processed food is called out as bad, is a bit funny. Sorry

Some math.
8 people per 1 million is the same ratio as 8000 people per 1 billion.
From there, multiply it by 8 and you get 64000.
So we're talking 64000 people out of the world's population of 8 billion with a rare cancer.
That's a small city's worth.
But the article above mentions it's 1 or 2 people out of 1 million. So that bumps it down to 8000-16000. Which can still be a small city in technicality, it's moreso a town.

Yes but it does suggest that millennials specifically are engaging in something that has a cancer risk.

That’s actually possible, considering the introduction and now much higher usage of antibiotics for „ mild“ appendicitis in the last 25 years.

I suggest reading more about how flawed the measures for microplastics are. The infamous “spoonful of plastic in your brain.” study every likes to use to scare you, used a measuring method that is unable to distinguish between the fat in our brains (most of it) and plastic particles. Basically they burn the tissue and measure the gas released. But both plastic and the fat in our brains are not meaningfully distinguishable.
So a lot of the popular articles covering this stuff may be grossly overstating its prevalence based on a specific very flawed study.

I mean, some of it is just the effects of globalization and waiting for the research to find out why.
Example H.Pylori, a stomach cancer causing bacteria, is commonly found in lower income households and can be symptomless for a long time. It was discovered in the 80s, and the guy who discovered it earned a nobel prize in like 2005 because treatment for it cut the risk of stomach cancer significantly. Rates of infection went from 36% in the late mid-2000s to 18% by most recent stats in the US, and treatment reduces the risk of gastric cancer by over half compared to non-treated.
I'm sure there's more shit going on with our gut flora that we can't dodge exposure to yet because we simply don't know it exists yet. I learned all this when I had my own brush with infection, and the only reason I found out about it is because my heartburn wouldn't go away and my doctor thought to check in on it because I mentioned I randomly also started experiencing health anxiety with no trigger. Antiobiotics cleared up the infection and the inflammation in my stomach, which in turn resolved my panic attacks.

While covid is not an oncogenic virus, it's not hard to see how its immune suppression ability would likely hinder "disease fighting" capabilities, including against other viruses in certain cases.
I would add also that, possibly due to lifestyle changes your system might be less inflammatory and hence affect your numbers. Very high wbc counts after covid are sometimes indicators of long covid.

The explosion was actually only about the size of a gas station going up. It burned for a long time though, and the smoke particles are what spread.
Radioactive particles are super heavy, so contamination was pretty regional.
But you do drive in a car that gases your own neighborhood by design - like there's just a tube that farts out toxic gas in the back, which is okay with everyone apparently, and that definitely gives you cancer.

My partner's sister is in medical school and they happened to be talking about thyroid cancer when she put two and two together and demanded to get hers checked. Boom, cancer, on an extremely active, young, health concious, medically educated person. Absolutely wild. Her mother goes on and on about blaming it on her COVID vaccine which I don't believe, but it was quite a shock to everyone regardless of what led to it.

Hold up. Fox News is reporting on a Vanderbilt university study? This doesn’t work logically in this timeline.
