Young cancer timebomb: Major study blames takeaway chemicals, school uniforms and frying pans for surge in under-50s diagnoses
Artificial ingredients in takeaway meals and 'forever chemicals' found in school uniforms and frying pans may be helping drive a surge in deadly cancers among young people, a major new report warns.
British scientists also believe antibiotics could be part of the mystery behind a rise in 11 cancers among adults aged 20 to 49.
It adds to a growing global picture. In the US, early-onset cancer cases rose by almost 15 per cent between 2010 and 2019, with younger adults increasingly being diagnosed with diseases once seen mainly in older age.
'Whilst BMI [weight] remains our best clue as to why cancer is on the rise in this age group, much of the increase still remains unexplained,' said Professor Montserrat García-Closas, of The Institute of Cancer Research in London.

Can Food Actually Be Medicine? These Doctors Say Yes
Lauren Estess, a third-year student at Tufts University School of Medicine, believes knowing how to make chickpea stew will make her a better doctor.
She and 14 other students spent a recent evening making dinner as part of a two-month culinary medicine class to train doctors, dentists and dietitians that the university began offering last spring. Using case studies and cooking, the course aims to convince future medical professionals that good, affordable food targeting specific diseases can be as important as medication.
“It’s unfortunately a big misconception that medicine doesn’t have anything to do with food,” she said, chopping dill with hands she hopes will one day be delivering babies.
KIDNEY STONES on the RISE
By Robert H. Shmerling, MD, Senior Faculty Editor, Harvard Health Publishing; Editorial Advisory Board Member, Harvard Health Publishing
In the past, medical textbooks described the typical person unlucky enough to develop a kidney stone as a white, middle-aged, obese man who eats an unhealthy diet and doesn’t drink enough fluids. Those books may need an update. A new study has found not only that the incidence of kidney stones is going up, but that they are also developing in people not considered high-risk in the past, including children, women, and African Americans.
Why stones?
Kidney stones develop when certain chemicals in the urine, such as calcium or uric acid, form crystals. Risk factors for stone formation include
- diet, including high intake of animal protein, sodium, and sugar, as well as low intake of fluids
- certain conditions, such as gout, diabetes, and obesity
- some medications, including calcium supplements
- family history and genetics — kidney stones can run in families, although the specific contributions of shared genes versus shared environments and diets are uncertain.
