I did a little digging into this when that article came out and what I decided was that because cancer rate data tends to lag 2-4 years, and I was getting pretty different data from journals than this article was discussing, it's hard to really nail this one down at this point. For instance, this article on cancer statistics from 2022 doesn't seem to show the same increases the New Scientist article is discussing, but does show an uptick in prostate cancer.

I think it's just one of those things that is, unfortunately, going to take a long time to tease out.
