The one that we don't hear about so often is the apparent link between cancer and stress. Something which younger people certainly do seem to experience more than their elders used to. Careers, housing, debt, gender doubts, and not least the relentless focus on changing jobs. (My daughter was told that if she stayed with any one employer for more than 18 months it wouldn't look good on her CV. Sheesh.
) Cue the usual stuff about snowflake millennials and yadda yadda yadda, but I wouldn't want the kind of pressures younger people are suffering. I left school and went to university with no ideas about what I wanted to do, but with a sense that it would all sort itself out because the degree would pretty much guarantee that somebody wanted me. That isn't nearly so self-evident these days.
And then there's social media and 24/7 emails and the parlous state of the world. Is there a link between all this stress and rising cancer levels? You bet there is.
