The incidence of colorectal cancer has risen among younger individuals, increasing from 11% to 20% of cases in those under 55 since 1995. Dr. Rebeka Kem suggests that highly processed foods could be contributing to this trend. A study in *Gut Microbes* found that consuming two or more weekly servings of yogurt reduces colorectal cancer risk by 20%, attributed to its probiotics supporting gut microbiota health.
