A doctor has told about the increase in cancer cases among young people and has discovered that "every new patient" who goes to his clinic is under 45 years old.

Oncologist at Duke University in North Carolina, Dr. Nicholas DeVito says that based on what he sees every day, talking to patients in the field and analyzing data, he blames malnutrition for the spread of cancer in young people.

Approximately 75 percent of the food consumed in the US is considered ultra-processed and is filled with additives and potentially harmful ingredients.

Numerous studies have found a link between eating ultra-processed foods (UPF) and more than 30 diseases.

Dr. DeVito has called on officials across industries and political parties to do more to protect Americans from harmful products.

The doctor wrote for STAT News: "The desire to protect Americans from substances that cause cancer and other diseases must transcend party affiliation."

"This became possible with tobacco and it is also possible with food," he says.

He added: "Americans must choose to prioritize their health by eating healthy over corporate profit and, sometimes, their own convenience."

Early studies have shown that ultra-processed foods that have gone through several rounds of processing and have artificial ingredients added to them – can alter the gut microbiome, which is the collection of healthy bacteria in our bodies.

Foods also irritate the intestinal walls and cause chronic inflammation.

All of these things are believed to increase the risk of cancer.

Between 1990 and 2019, cancer cases among young people across the globe increased by 79 percent and deaths increased by 28 percent.

The United States has the sixth highest rate of early cancers (in people under 50)—with 87 cases per 100,000 people younger than 50.

Studies predict that early cancer diagnoses will increase by 31 percent and deaths will increase by 21 percent by 2030.

But 40 percent of cancers in the U.S. are caused by risk factors that can be changed, according to a study by the American Cancer Society — and the cancers can be avoided if lifestyles are improved.

These factors include alcohol use, smoking, inactivity and consumption of ultra-processed foods.

While a diet high in unhealthy fats and sugars has long been known to be harmful to health, experts are calling for more attention to be paid to ingredient labels - not just nutritional values.

Their analysis reveals that most of the "healthy" foods people eat are filled with artificial ingredients, classifying them as ultra-processed foods.

To avoid these, a good rule of thumb is to stick to products with fewer than five ingredients and avoid items with ingredients that are difficult to pronounce./Vox News
