Why Are More Young Adults Getting Colorectal Cancer? Oncologist Explains the Rising Rates!

Why are colorectal cancer diagnoses increasing among younger adults? And is there any evidence connecting the rise to COVID-19 vaccines? Jackson Jordan's oncologist, Dr. Phillip Reid, joins Tamron Hall to separate fact from fiction surrounding colorectal cancer in people under 50. He addresses misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines, explaining that the increase in diagnoses began years before the pandemic. Dr. Reid also discusses possible contributing factors, including processed foods, antibiotic use, and sedentary lifestyles. He explains why the recommended starting age for routine colorectal cancer screening was lowered to 45. #ColonCancer #ColorectalCancer #CancerScreening #CancerAwareness #TamronHallShow FOLLOW US: Instagram: @tamronhallshow X: @tamronhallshow Facebook: @tamronhall TikTok: @tamronhallshow JOIN OUR SHOW: https://tamronhallshow.com/be-on-the-...
