It’s just the evolution of the basic investor sales tactic to sell something that doesn’t actually exist yet to get someone to pay for the development of that product. Only in this case they’re using the tactic on each other to get people to pay them money while providing no actual value while their subordinates are forced to waste time adapting their work to those nonsense words.
Pesticides seems to be the main likely culprit. Wash your fruits and veggies! Though that’s not going to stop exposure.
I always wonder though if these are actually increases or just better diagnosis. It used to be that you couldn’t get insurance to pay for colonoscopies under like 60 or so. And with blood tests available it’s much more likely to get caught. Is it just that previously the cancer would spread much further before detection and by then you couldn’t tell where it originated and it was blamed on other things like smoking, or is it really increases.
But either way, it is there and we know likely causes, but it will take a generation or two before any action can be taken against the companies profiting from the pesticides, so take precautions where you can and wash fresh fruits and veggies and dont use those pesticides in your lawns or gardens. And if you have to be around the pesticides after spraying, wear a mask and wash your hands.
