PFSA… kinda?, glyphosate…maybe…? honestly we’ve done a ton of studies since glyphosate was first created in the 70s there really aren’t any known significant health risks. Personally I’d be more concerned about the environmental problems of herbicides running off and affecting the wider environment.
Just a known carcinogen in our food. Why have cancer rates exploded? Oh, I dunno. Lol.
I was just casually pointing out some of the better known substances. The true risks are the >350,000 novel chemical compounds we make and release into the environment in ever increasing volumes with no meaningful data on the short or long term repercussions.
You want to be concerned about something? It’s not the dangers of the things we know of. It’s what we don’t see coming that’s going to get us.
I think cancer rates going up are a lot of things. I think medicine overall has gotten significantly better that because people aren’t dying nearly as young as they used to are then able to go on to develop cancer they otherwise wouldn’t have, I think that our increasingly sedentary lifestyles are certainly not helpful, I think the constant stresses of daily existence under late stage capitalism is extremely unhealthy, I think the amount of high calorie low nutrition highly processed foods we consume have a huge affect. Also cancer is an extremely large umbrella term for an affliction that comes about in more ways than there are cancers, melanoma comes from prolonged UV exposure, lung and mouth cancer come from a wide array of carcinogens operating on numerous mechanism, like Radon works completely differently from tobacco smoke and diferently from asbestos.
I think there is much stronger evidence for a multitude of other things causing cancer than solely glyphosate.
Yes, the oncogenic paradox… We don’t know what causes cancer… But ever source of inflammation seems to increase risk… The mitochondrial theory of cancer (Seyfried, Warburg) would say the high glucose environment people create in their blood is the core reason for the surge of modern cancers.
I often wonder if Ultra-processed modern foods, and all these questionable ingredients are responsible for most of the increases in these cancers?
Or microplastics?
Or PFAS, Glyphosate …

We are exceeding our planetary boundaries.

Lack of fiber is a big player in colon cancer apparently.
I don’t know what ultraprocessed foods you’re sticking in your cooch to get cervical cancer, but I’m guessing there’s not a lot of research on that.
Anything that damages the gut microbiome. Ultra-processed foods are one of many things. Antibiotics may be the biggest factor.
I think there is just too much bad shit that we are exposed to, to find one specific reason.
