TL;DR

A USC-led study presented at AACR found that non-smoking Americans under 50 who follow healthier diets may have a higher risk of lung cancer, possibly due to environmental pesticide exposure from non-organic produce. The research notes a higher incidence among young women in this group and calls for direct pesticide measurements in patients and further study to confirm the link and identify specific factors.
