Ultra-Processed Foods Linked to Higher Precancerous Colorectal Polyp Risk in Younger Women

A JAMA Oncology study of over 29,000 women under 50 found that those with about 10 servings per day of ultra-processed foods had a 45% higher risk of adenomas, precursors to colorectal cancer, than those consuming around three servings. While observational and not proof of causation, experts say reducing ultra-processed foods and prioritizing whole foods may lower risk, possibly by improving gut health and reducing obesity; regular screening remains important.

Study Reveals Unusual Connection Between Marathon Running and Cancer

Research suggests a potential link between extreme endurance running and a higher prevalence of precancerous colon polyps in young athletes, though findings are preliminary and require further investigation. The study observed significantly higher rates of adenomas in ultramarathon runners compared to average risk populations, raising questions about the effects of intense physical activity on gastrointestinal health. Despite these findings, experts emphasize that regular exercise remains beneficial and does not warrant alarm for most people.
