The rates of colorectal cancer are increasing in young adults. It’s best you start earlier so that problematic polyps and adenomas can be removed before they get worse.
I’ve got a family history of it and probably should get checked early bit haven’t. Here’s to hoping that the article I saw that said THC is toxic to polyps literally saves my ass.
I looked it up and it was in 2022. Apparently it was misreported. The study investigated how advertising for colonoscopies as part of public health programs was effective or not. And it turned out it’s not effective at all. It did not look for how effective the colonoscopies themselves are. I just read this summary:
I’d be very surprised to learn that colonoscopies themselves are useless considering that we know polyps lead to cancer and are cancerous and we are visually identifying and removing them with the good ole rectal camera device.
Also colonoscopies aren’t just used for cancer prevention and are used on IBD to determine the condition of the disease. Basically any time you have a problem with your lower intestine or rectum, they’re a cheap and effective way to find out what’s going on.
Land before time came out in 88 that’s only 35 years ago. The CDC reccomends colonoscopies at 45.
It’s close. I must have seen it long after its initial release or while I was very young. But I’m still about a decade off from 45.

I think you’ve stumbled upon an innovative new way to ingest THC…
So now are we going to get stereotypical comments on big nuggets like big shrooms?
“… Boof it.”
Wasn’t there a recent meta study that showed colonoscopies were basically useless?
I haven’t heard this but that would be an interesting read

I remember watching that movie as a child on TV and I’m 25
Ok boomer
Same. Though I guess it could be edited to say “remember seeing it in theatres”. That’d put you at least around 5-7.
That’d make much more sense
Most people don’t remember movies they’ve seen when they were new borns.
Never too early to be touched by and Angel.
Yeah I watched this movie all the time on VHS and I’m only 35. Pretty sure I don’t need a colonoscopy yet.
