I was surprised to hear from several people living abroad that in Demark a colonoscopy is considered to be a higher risk procedure, and as such is only done when indicated for by test results or symptoms. It makes me suspicious of the letās do it for everyone over 45 thing here in the US. Money money money moneyā¦.you know? Maybe there is solid science to support it, but so much research is funded and influenced by the corporate industrial medical complex these days, itās getting difficult to trust findings.

Nahhhh it aināt high risk, but I imagine saying so & limiting colonoscopies does save that socialized healthcare system a ton of money.
That being said, I doubt the typical Denmark diet/lifestyle is as dogshit/cancer-promoting as in the US.
Personally in the camp of screening at 45 to be a good thing (seen way too many younger folks with cancers that couldāve been caught earlier).
