everywhere, cancer & chronic disease rates go up as diets get westernized
- lm28469 2y agoYep, that's because most cancers are lifestyle related, remove alcohol, tobacco and bad diets/obesity and you remove 75% of cancers. https://www.oatext.com/which-environment-makes-cancer.php https://www.oatext.com/which-environment-makes-cancer.php
- lambdaba 2y agoObviously yes, so is most chronic disease, but bring up people being healed by lifestyle & diet intervention and prepare for relentless attacks from both doctors and laypeople.
- cortic 2y agoIsn't that just selection bias, as diets get westernized so does medical care and so we detect more diseases..
- lambdaba 2y agothis is even counter to mainstream medical opinion
- unsupp0rted 2y agoLife expectancy also goes up as lives get westernized, so people live long enough to become adults and die from cancer, rather than Malaria, diarrhea, etc
- lambdaba 2y agorates of cancer are going up in younger people nowadays
- adamredwoods 2y agoDiet is not the only factor for cancer. There are children who die of cancer, and there are smokers and drinkers that live to 99.
