Average number of sexual partners has skyrocketed for sure..
In the last few years? I would suggest it's much lower than it was in the 60's and 70's during the free love movements and other related movements. Prior to the 80's there was a lot more unprotected sex prior to the aids epidemic. Porn with a lot of body hair basically exploded when VHS tapes were created and people experimented a lot more.
Diet has certainly gotten worse. Most of the artificial crap was being introduced in the early 70's with a trailing 10 year lag on T2D increase but that has definitely gotten worse with time. What big change was introduced into the diet in the last few years?
I highly doubt that when they are talking about a rise in colon cancer they are talking in relationship to the 60s or 70s. And what does porn with body hair has to do with anything ? Your reply seems ideologically motivated.
I like the idea of this being ideologically motivated. To find what that may be I think we need to figure out what has changed in the last few years and then risk-rank each item to get started.
The average number of sexual partners has changed considerably over the decades. Baby boomers (1946-1964) report an average of 11 partners, while Generation X (1965-1980) has an average of 10 partners. Millennials (1981-1996) have a lower average of 8 partners. The lower average number of sexual partners could lead to bowel cancer. Joking aside. I would suggest that the world has become a bitter place. Water quality, pollution, microplastics, air quality, factory farming (meat production in general, drug distribution, multi-resistant germs). Average meat consumption per day is rising. Everything is getting worse because humans are causing climate change, suffering of living beings and nature and refusing to change the status quo.
