Reply to comment by belac4862 in TIL that one of the few positive health effects of smoking is a drastic reduction of a person's risk of thyroid cancer. According to a Korean study of the health records of over 10M people, smokers have a 36% lower risk of thyroid cancer. Smoking and heavy drinking reduces one's risk even more. by EncyclopediaJake

I got it in my late 20s. Never smoked, but ran 15-20 miles a week 😏

Since the late 80s when I was a kid, I’ve equally been into gaming and sports. Continued to do both even today. Have can get immersed i games AND touch grass

Reply to Aerobic exercise can reduce the risk of metastatic cancer by 72%. According to the researchers, intensity aerobic exercise increases the glucose (sugar) consumption of internal organs, thereby reducing the availability of energy to the tumor. by Wagamaga

Oddly enough I got thyroid cancer when I was 27 and running 20 miles a week… sometimes just bad luck. I would never give up exercise though. It is my antidepressant.
