Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE incidence of stomach cancer has fallen substantially among all ages over the past 40 years - probably because of the availability of fresh fruit and vegetables throughout the year, according to figures published in the British Medical Journal. Cancer of the oesophagus, or gullet, is on the increase, partly because of the rising consumption of alcohol.
Testicular cancer used to be rare but has become the most common cancer among young men. The report says that whether this is because of the influence of excessive female hormones in the environment or modern styles of underwear is unknown.
