Young People's Bodies are Aging faster than Ever

Question

This article, featured on Men's Health and written by Sarah Elizabeth Richards, is known to be a reliable source. Richards shares how Andrew Chen, a Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, found more and more young people coming into his office with colorectal cancer. The findings of the American Cancer Society back up Dr. Chen's claim:  "According to the latest report by the American Cancer Society, new cases among younger people rose 1 to 2 percent each year between 1995 and 2020—while rates decreased for other age groups. Twenty percent of new colorectal cases are under 55." While this article is reliable and provides reliable resources as well, it is not able to explain the reasoning behind cancer appearing in younger people, leaving readers questioning the information provided. Overall, this is a credible source. The statistics, along with the experts mentioned all play a part in making this article trustworthy.
