This study is so misleading. Remember we have amylase to break down starches. Keep eating your whole grains fruit and veggies. Stay away from high fat food and all processed junk food.

Reply to Breathwork shows promise in reducing stress, anxiety and depression, according to a new meta-analysis by HeinieKaboobler

It really does work. My body becomes nauseous and flooded with pain over the smallest stresses and nonsense. Breathwork, self-talk, mindfulness, meditation, etc. are just straight-up necessary coping mechanisms for me now. It really is as simple as forcing yourself to take deep slow breaths and picturing yourself somewhere else pleasant.

Try fruitarians. Even before the ice age, before our agriculture revolution,we went after fruits,and plants. I'm talking when we haven't left Africa yet.

Reply to Analysis finds antimicrobial drug use in agriculture is much higher than reported. The use of antibiotics in animal farming — a major contributor to antimicrobial resistance — is expected to grow by 8% between 2020 and 2030 despite ongoing efforts to curtail their use. by MistWeaver80

Reply to In a study examining conversation as a vehicle for social influence, researchers found that changing the mind of someone who is dismissive of efforts to protect the planet could be accomplished by sharing a pro-sustainability point of view during a verbal or written exchange. by memorialmonorail

Is it also possible to change the minds of nihilists and climate loonies by sharing a pro-human point of view during a verbal or written exchange?, or are the minds of nihilists and climate loonies lost forever?

Asking: for the world.

This is 100% correct. We have a vast array of mechanical means to kill tumors, but very few pass the extra test of preventing therapy induced metastasis or other significantly detrimental damage. We're approaching a point where combination products may start to be viable, but that's "approaching" in the sense that the technology is just now becoming viable for further testing. We're nowhere near marketing of "nano tech" solutions (as many silicon valley types like to claim/dream up).

Edit: An addendum is that one of the biggest revelations these days isn't in treatment, but in the ability to track abnormal cell features. If you can target cancerous cells for uptake of specific elements/molecules, you can far more easily deal with larger growths well before their malignancy spreads further. This, however, only works for well defined tumors. Once you get into things like lymphomas, you're in a very different ballpark.

High vegetable consumption, smaller caloric intake, more food variety, and less emphasis on fried junk food and sugars.

Any Asian populations that stray from this model turn out unhealthier, aka if they start adopting SAD characteristics

They also eat a smaller quantity than Americans, with far more variety in their diet. Each meal is accompanied with multiple different vegetables.

Doesn’t make their white rice healthy, just allows them to get away with it.

High Starch consumption was a survival advantage that the human willingly took up 12,000 years ago to avoid the potential risk of failed hunts and inability to forage. Doesn’t mean it’s what’s healthiest for us, just what gave us the best chance at surviving. Surviving does not equal thriving
