Here you go. IBD started to increase in the 1920's.

Now this is an interesting theory,also gives lots of historical numbers on UC. I dont remember eating
Sacchrin when I was a kid, but who knows what was in the processed food. Never used as an adult or teen tht I know about.

And for your reading pleasure, tight junctions and fat.looks like they never checked the colon but there was a lot of bacterial translocation. Bottom line eat coconut oil, and not corn oil.
