flag Study links pesticide residues on produce to higher lung cancer risk in young non-smokers.

flag A new U.S. study suggests pesticide residues on conventionally grown fruits, vegetables, and whole grains may be linked to a higher risk of lung cancer in young non-smokers, particularly women under 50. flag Despite healthy eating recommendations, researchers found young lung cancer patients consumed more of these foods than the general population. flag While the study did not directly test for pesticides, it used published data on residue levels to estimate exposure, highlighting a potential environmental risk factor for a growing trend of early-onset lung cancer.
