ScienceDaily (May 4, 2009) — It’s a medical mystery that has been developing for at least a decade: thyroid cancer—not breast, prostate, lung, or colon cancer—is the fastest increasing cancer among women and men in the United States.
And scientists don’t know why.
In fact, according to new data from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), thyroid cancer diagnoses have increased at a rate of 6.5 percent a year from 1997 to 2006.
The alarming trend has largely gone unnoticed. Now, a new project by American University’s Investigative Reporting Workshop—an organization founded by journalism professors Charles Lewis and Wendell Cochran at AU’s School of Communication—is helping shine a light on the issue.

This is a reply to # 1,412,474Another possibility for the increase in thyroid cancer is the fact that the US government was releasing radioactive Iodine from the Hanford nuclear power plant for decades to test the effects on the surrounding population. This story broke in the news about 15 years ago and we have not heard much about it since. There was also the Chernobyl accident that released a lot of radioactive Iodine 131.
Here are some related links.

This is a reply to # 1,412,474All types of cancer has been on the rise in the last decade. Kidney and liver disease has been increasing exponentially as well. Coincidentally this has been the exact amount of time that GMOs have been in our food Supply. Unless you are eating only home cooked meals and staying away from all soy, corn, canola oil, cotton seed oil and Sugar beets you are eating Genetically Modified Organisms every day thanks to Monsanto! Here is some of my best sources of info. Because what you don't know kan KILL you!!!

This is a reply to # 1,549,730Link Between Antibiotics and Lung Cancer
Thursday September 11, 2008
Someday your health care provider may ask you how many Antibiotics you have taken, along with your smoking history – to predict your risk of developing lung cancer.
A study looking at the medical records of over 3 million people in Finland, found a link between the use of Antibiotics , and subsequent risk of cancer. Information about antibiotics prescribed according to the Drug Prescription Registry between 1995 and 1997, was compared with cancers reported to the Finnish Cancer Registry from 1998 to 2004. Those individuals who had been given 2 to 5 Antibiotic prescriptions were 25% more likely to have developed cancer, than those who had 0 to 1 prescriptions. The increased risk broken down for different cancers was:
* Lung cancer – 79%
* Prostate cancer – 39%
* Colon cancer – 15%
* Breast Cancer – 14%

of course doctors would argue that these people were "sicker", than the others... I would argue the others did not go to doctors nearly as much... if at all.
Leading one to believe that doctors and their drug pushing is the problem.
There are other cancers that see increases in incidents with Antibiotic use as well... and the incidence of thyroid cancer related to Antibiotic use is also suspect.
Antibiotics shut down your (THE) communication interface with your environment.
As an aside, and to illustrate the insensitivity, arrogance, and how out of touch doctors are with reality... I mentioned all of the Vioxx deaths to one and he stated, and I quote, "they were sick and all going to die anyway".
Isn't that comforting :-\
We are all going to die... I just want the best quality of life and longevity I can muster... and my choices, including the staying away from modern disease/death serving medicine as much as possible, will make the difference.
Rather ironic as most of my family and friends are in the business, including pharmaceutical development and sales... perhaps that is why I can see it for what it is a bit clearer than most...
It is not what you think...
