I am not any type of scientist yet I was able to understand much of your explanation. Interesting that as I finished my C&C, I opened Daily Mail and this is the lead article.

There may be a link, correct?

I think that a contributing (though probably not exclusive) factor to altered gut microbiome are the hideous number of vaccines that generation has been given. And the gut is also a problem with autistic children.

No vaccines or antibiotics..antibiotics are miraculous and I cant imagine how stressful it was for our grandparents raising our parents without them, but today they are overused to a ridiculous and harmful degree, destroying healthy gut microbiome. That happened to my millenials as small children. Both developed IBS. One grew out of it but it affected his behavior at the time, and the other sadly never did. She never knows when her tummy will have an issue..no rhyme or reason. Wish I knew then what I know now. I would have atleast supplemented their antibiotics with probiotics like kefir. (it is amazing!)

“Doctors are still trying to determine what’s behind the unprecedented rise, but theories include modern diets, antibiotic use, and fungus.” This article needs to be edited so the list of theories can include the CDC Childhood Vaccine Schedule.

Us “Boomers” need to understand that we have only had a small percentage of the amount of vaccines given to children born after 1990.

Gotta work that Fungus in there. That may be a candidate for the next plandemic!

We grandparent types grew up on fast food and fungus. Think there might be another cause these young people are a target? Hmmm. Think about it .

Boomer here: we grew up on home cooked food. Play dates centered around eating home cooked dinner at our friend's or cousin's houses. I grew up in Brooklyn. My first pizzeria pizza dinner ever was at a friends house in my teens..with a healthy side dish of homemade tabbouleh (her mom was Lebanese-American).

The first hamburger fast food was only one which was close by, again, not until my teens. McDonald's didn't even exist near me in the 70's!

A fast snack for us as teens out and about was a slice of pizza or a hero sandwich. We didnt have much fun money to spend anyway...then back home for a home cooked meal.

My cousins lived in various well to do suburbs in the US, and visiting them, it was the same. No fast or junk food.

Same here. I grew up in the late 60's & throughout the 70's and my mother cooked our meals every day. Rarely did we eat out, only on special occasions, and it would never be at a fast food place (we had one McDonald's and one Burger Chef in our town). Not like today where there's a fast food restaurant every 100 feet.

Were you my neighbor? I am in agreement about how we were raised.

Bad diets or fungus to blame, they say.

Oh, so very interesting, that article--thank you for offering. I find myself, more and more, when reading an article, mentally taking in the opposite of what my eyes are seeing--a much more intense version of 'reading between the lines'.

Just learned of a 30 yr old man with mets colon cancer—not the typical tumor that can be excised—to bones and lungs. His only symptom was a cough. The scan 6 months before showed his lungs were clear. Mayo has a treatment plan for him, (of course). I have prayer for him.
