Rising Cancer Rates In Generation X
- Generation X (born ~1965–1980) shows rising rates of many cancers compared with previous generations.
- Ross Walker links these increases to lifestyle, toxins and changing exposures rather than genetic shifts.
Reduce Modifiable Cancer Risks
- Reduce obesity, sedentary behaviour and alcohol to lower cancer risk.
- Improve diet, increase activity and cut exposure to processed foods and pollutants.
