xwest+FollowmRNA Vax: Immune System Still in Overdrive?Just read a wild study: a year after getting the Pfizer mRNA COVID vax, young people still had higher levels of immune system signals (cytokines) in their blood. The immune system seems to stay revved up for months, and the effect is even stronger in men and older adults. Researchers think this could be from the body still making spike proteins. Kinda makes you wonder what that means long-term, right? #COVID19Vaccine #mRNA #ImmuneSystem #HealthNews #ScienceUpdate #Health3412Share
Joseph Bradley+FollowChildhood Gut Bug Linked to Colon Cancer?Wild new research just dropped: scientists think a gut bacteria you pick up as a kid could be the reason colon cancer is spiking in young adults. The culprit? A toxin from certain E. coli strains called colibactin, which leaves a DNA "fingerprint" in your colon—sometimes decades before cancer shows up. About 15% of early cancer-driving mutations are linked to this bug! Researchers are now working on a test to catch these changes early. Crazy how something from childhood could come back like this! #ColonCancer #HealthNews #GutHealth #ScienceUpdate #EarlyDetection #Health230Share
Aaron Rodriguez+FollowIs E. coli Behind Rising Young Bowel Cancer?Wild new research just dropped: scientists think a toxin from a specific E. coli strain (not the usual food poisoning kind) might be leaving DNA scars in our guts as kids—possibly setting us up for bowel cancer way earlier than expected. Rates are up 52% in under-50s since the '90s! They’re now working on early detection tests for these mutations. Makes you wonder what else we’re exposed to as kids that comes back later, right? #BowelCancer #HealthNews #EarlyOnsetCancer #Microbiome #ScienceUpdate #Health240Share
