We already know cancer rates are going up for young people. What's changed, apart from all the extra chemicals floating in our blood?

In my country they tested adolescent children that were brought up by eating "bio" food vs people that ate regular food.

Kids that has been eating the 'healthy' "bio" food had, on average, unhealthy amounts of lead, heavy metals and other chemicals in their blood. The kids that didn't eat "bio" food didn't.

So I ask you, where should the average EU person go to?

Interesting! Do you have a reference for this?

Was there any explanation given? Could be that besides the bio/normal food, also the diet composition is completely different?

A man who smoked two packs of cigarettes per day for years, used to comment on "people who went to Health Food Stores" .. Look, he would say, see those people? they are not very healthy.. (often people with health problems would seek a better diet).. That man smoked for 40 years, no problem! he said.. his skin suffered, he lost his sense of taste for foods.. One year he was diagnosed with Lung Cancer and died after a slow, lingering and painful illness, in his early 60s.

I don't really see what that has to do with what I posted, as it completely misses the point.

This is not about eating fast food vs eating healthy. This is about groups of people eating the same food, only that one is labeled 'bio/organic' and the other isn't.

When these people were subjected to tests, and the foods themselves were tested, it was quantifiably proven to be less healthy.

An enormous number of things, impacting almost every aspect of human lifestyle.

Obesity.

It is infuriating how many times this needs to be said. Too many people pretend this is not a problem.

This.

Most cancers happen from DNA mutations, and most DNA mutations happen during cell division, and cells divide well... when there is ample nutrients. The world we live in today, is very different than our distant ancestors. Calories are absurdly abundant compared to our evolutionary past, or even 100 years ago.

Fatpositivity is a hell of a mental state. they are trying to frame it as not only not a problem but as a good thing. they are just playing into agrocorporations that want to continue pumping sugar into everything we eat.

For the most part, no. They just don’t want to be treated like some sort of lesser human being.

It’s a difficult problem. People get sick of being told 300x “why don’t you just do x”

its not difficult.

1. stop drinking soda and juice. 2. eat only unprocessed food 3. go for a 30 min walk every day.

its really hard to go over 300 lbs if you cook your own meals, don't load up on 300 calorie sugar bombs and take basic responsibility for your own health. and I say this as someone who used to be very fat.

Depression and massive vaccination with experimental mRNA vaccines.
Re:Why aren't we losing our minds over the plastic in our br... by lostlogin on Saturday February 15, 2025 @03:37PM (#43062091)
Use of mRNA vaccines is fairly recent, can you show even a correlation between them and cancer rates?

How is depression causing childhood cancers?

Re:Why aren't we losing our minds over the plastic in our br... by t0bia_s on Saturday February 15, 2025 @06:13PM (#43063414)
First, we should have randomized independend studies about side effects of new vaccines, which takes about 3 years to make.

Did we have something like that during 2021 few months after developing new vaccine when milion of doses was distributed?

Look at graphs in 15-44y catgeory. Still increasing mortality since 2020. Why? https://euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps

No one thinks that the best drug launch method is do it untested.

Isn’t that curve you show trending down?

Frightened mind is easily manipulated.

In 15-44y category its going up with excessive deaths.
