>Why are younger people getting colon cancer more often?

Oh, I actually know this one.
Unironically this: >>16463208 And objectively not this: >>16464316
We actually know it isn't anal sex (which at one point thought was a contributor) because Millennials and Gen Z are having LESS SEX than previous generations, but MORE colon cancer, so it can't be that. That leaves us with processed foods and perhaps microplastics as this Anon says: >>16463314 since they're what's currently in abundance at the moment and we already know that processed foods do cause colon/bowl/stomach cancer when consumed in large daily quantities.

Lets look at some data, since we're /sci/entists and not BONE THROUGH THE NOSE OOGA BOOGAS.
From our cute chart we can see there seems to be a clear correlation between developed, 1st world, countries and both the incidence and mortality of colon cancer, whereas 2nd world nations and shithole countries don't seem to be too inconvenienced by it. We can also disprove the buttsex and aids theory because despite Russia having tons of colon cancer: Brazil doesn't spike (Africa could be an issue of no recording).

HOWEVER, why is Mexico's lower than Cuba's? This is a very curious exception to my hypothesis. More data is obviously needed.
