Food Additives Linked to Rise in Young-Onset Colon Cancer
Dr. Maria Abreu, president of the American Gastroenterological Association, links the rise in young-onset colon cancer cases in the US to food additives like high-fructose corn syrup and emulsifiers, which disrupt the gut microbiome and cause chronic inflammation, potentially leading to cancer.

New Study Suggests Moon Formed 180 Million Years Earlier
A new study posits the Moon formed 180 million years earlier than previously estimated, between 4.430 and 4.530 billion years ago, due to a global melting event caused by tidal heating after the impact with Theia, which reset the crystallization process and erased early impact traces.
