The article explores the rising incidence of cancer among millennials, examining potential links to modern environmental factors such as chemicals, processed foods, disrupted circadian rhythms, and prenatal medication exposure, suggesting that these factors may accelerate biological aging and increase cancer risk in young adults.
Storing volatile chemicals such as pesticides, gasoline, and paint in attached garages at home is significantly associated with an increased risk of developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), according to a study by University of Michigan researchers. The findings highlight the importance of the "ALS exposome" and suggest interventions to minimize exposure and potentially reduce ALS risk by modifying storage practices in homes. The study surveyed over 600 participants and identified several residential chemical exposures linked to ALS risk and survival, emphasizing the need for further research to understand how environmental exposures contribute to the development of ALS.
