But do Europeans get more lung cancer more than us?


For the sake of this discussion, does that matter overall if American diabetes and heart disease outnumbers European lung problems?

Look at the ingredients in the food and drinks you’re consuming.


Most of it is no longer what should be considered "food" and is the #1 cause of most health issues and disease in the US. Most of it is toxic and why more people are obese

How Fat Stores Toxins
• Lipophilic (Fat-Soluble) Compounds: Persistent organic pollutants (POPs)—such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), certain pesticides like DDT, dioxins, and flame retardants—do not dissolve easily in water.
• Sequestration: Because these chemicals are attracted to fat, the body safely sequesters them inside adipocyte triglycerides (fat cells) to keep them away from vital organs like the brain, heart, and liver.
• Protective Function: Storing these substances in fat is a protective mechanism that prevents immediate, high-dose toxicity in the rest of the body.

I get so tired of this shite. There is one class of insecticide and 4 (one of which was just eliminated here) other active ingredients that we use in agriculture in the USA that Europe does not allow. Guess what, Roundup/Glyphosate isn’t one of them. They use it also.

The problem with food in America is the volume of cheap premade shite people stuff in their mouths.

Our food causes more cancer than cigarettes.

Europeans are more likely to die from lung cancer than Americans.

Just maybe smoking isn’t quite as the bad boogeyman as it was portrayed by American Karens.


Even if it didn’t have one health effect, it’s a nasty habit and no one wants to inhale secondhand smoke

They have real food, half the shite we eat wouldn’t be sold over there.

Bug pharma and the food industry are in together…

Hence FDA

Has nothing to do with smoking.

#1 - Their diets are healthier (less heart disease, diabetes etc.)

#2- Significantly lower murder rate

#3 - Nowhere near the Opiod crises we have because they don't share a porous border with the world's top narcotics transshipment zone

#4 - Fewer car accident deaths because they drive much less than we do.

Europeans walk a lot more. I’m pretty sure that accounts for like 80% of the difference. Their diets and habits aren’t as great as they’d have you think. But they don’t jump in their car to drive to places they could walk to in 10 minutes time. Just a different setup.
