> Obesity. Being overweight is directly correlated with an increased risk for over a dozen cancers. And people are fatter than ever.
Doesn't that just move the question to: why are so many people obese now? Including more obese younger people.
I suspect sugar intake has a drastic impact here. We genuinely have too much of it in everything.
But I kind of doubt there's more sugar in food than there was in the 70s.
Late 80's / early 90's was the war on fat, so companies introduced "low fat" versions of their products that replaced fat with sugar
