The 2026 Taipei mayoral race is heating up, and support for Democratic Progressive Party candidate Shen Po-yang is rising in the polls.

A 12-year-old boy in Zhengzhou, Henan province, China, developed end-stage colorectal cancer after a long-term extreme diet heavy in sugary drinks and processed foods. A doctor blamed indulgent grandparent-led upbringing, stressing that insufficient dietary fiber and poor daily habits are key risk factors.
Facts
A 12-year-old boy in Zhengzhou, Henan province, China, was diagnosed with end-stage colorectal cancer, with multiple metastases in the abdominal cavity and a large amount of ascites.
The boy’s parents work away from home, and he was raised by his grandparents from a young age. His grandparents gave him whatever he wanted when it came to food.
The boy rarely drank plain water, relying on sugary drinks for hydration, and ate high-fat, high-salt foods such as instant noodles, fried chicken and spicy gluten snacks.
The doctor said processed foods had left the boy severely short of dietary fiber, disrupting intestinal function and increasing the likelihood of intestinal disease.
Colorectal cancer has been affecting people at younger ages in recent years, and doctors are urging parents to watch for changes in their children’s bowel habits and weight.
