    New Study Shows The Link Between Seed Oils and Colorectal Cancer #338

    Are the foods we eat fueling the rise of cancer in young adults? A groundbreaking study from the University of South Florida reveals a shocking link between seed oils, ultra-processed foods, and the alarming rise in colorectal cancer rates among people under 50. In this episode of Heal Thy Self, we uncover why colorectal cancer rates are increasing 1–2% annually in younger populations, how seed oils and ultra-processed foods disrupt gut health and fuel chronic inflammation, and the role of gut microbiota and inflammation in cancer risk.
