New study links ultra-processed foods to rising colon cancer risk among young adults
Ultra-processed items include boxed soups, frozen meals and products with long shelf lives — foods many Americans grew up eating in the 1970s, 80s and 90s.

When choosing sugars and sweet substitutes, "natural" options like honey can still be harmful when consumed in excess. Excess sugars can prompt the liver to convert some sugar into fat, potentially increasing the risk of liver cancer and failure, Dr. Robert Lustig says. https://ucsfh.org/43bRswv
Are Some Sugars ‘Less Bad' Than Others?
We asked experts if sweeteners like honey, maple syrup and agave nectar are better options.

@ucsfcancer.bsky.social researchers are using AI to speed up the time from a mammogram to cancer diagnosis. In a preprint study, they used AI to flag suspicious mammograms, cutting the average time from mammogram to biopsy from 73 days to just 9. Learn more at @nbcnews.com: ucsfh.org/3JjxXvi
AI mammogram readings are already helping doctors detect breast cancer
Some experts worry about the risk of overdiagnosis of benign conditions and the lack of research showing AI technology actually saves lives.
