A recent news story says that marathoners are at heightened risk for bowel cancer. Could it be that these women are exercising excessively?

I think the data presented at ASCO this year showed an increase in adenomas (benign, potential precursors of colon cancer) among marathoners. It’s unknown yet whether the that translates into an increase incidence of colon cancer in this population, though it would be prudent to assume so for now. The study was smallish n=100 IIRC so more research is warranted. Interesting to consider the biological mechanisms if this relationship holds up.

Thanks for your very knowledgeable response!

I think about this TED Talk from 2012 a lot.. and he presents some data. It changed some of my goals, and I’m a bit more multi-sport than I used to be.

I wonder if this has more to do with the diet of marathoners than the running.

I suppose if it were something like essential oil diffusers or something it would have shown up in the families of these women but what if they were single? I don’t even know if they use them but it is a stereotypically young woman thing.

Regardless, I wonder if there is a non invasive early test for this.

Is the incidence increasing for young women or are anti smoking measures just reducing rates in old men and thus the overall demographics of those being diagnosed are changing?

Both

> cases among fit, young, non-smoking women have risen, both as a proportion and in absolute numbers

garbage statiscal manipulation with zero real numbers or historical comparisons to actual disease and mortality numbers in there CHOSEN demographic the article starts with a drawn out acount of a single person, which is what I call "little billy is trapped in the abandoned well" style of journalism, and then segues into psedo science

simple truth : many performance atheletes are psychos, who put truely dangerous things into there bodys in sometimes bizare ways,it's ,underground, fadish, cultic they lie and lie and lie

just saw a fly over of the everist base camp city, where we know they are up to some radical stuff, the biking world is a shit show, weight lifting is a lost cause, that runners are somehow magicly pure is into fuck off territory
