Label alcohol as the carcinogen it is, just as we do with cigarettes. ***Note: the prescription drug Naltrexone can help you quit drinking alcohol and/or quit opioids. Ask your doctor for more information*** "The World Health Organization called out alcohol as the world's third­leading cause of preventable cancer. Its high calorie count adds to obesity, the second­leading global cause of cancer."

Ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) lead to early deaths. "While 4%, 5% and 6% of early deaths in Colombia, Brazil and Chile respectively were “attributable” to UPFs, the figures were 10.9% in Canada, 13.7% in the US and 13.8% in England – the highest of the eight.

"#UPFs [Ultra Processed Foods] are the new #tobacco, according to doctor, academic and BBC broadcaster Chris van Tulleken. In his excellent talk on the harsh reality of ultra-processed foods (h/t to Thomas), he points out that poor diet has overtaken tobacco as the leading cause of #earlydeath. He makes the case that obesity and diet-related diseases are what he calls #commerciogenic – driven by profit incentives, just like tobacco."

imagine that… obesity tracked to processed food, specifically chemicals added to increase appetite and therefore increase sales and profit.

Scientists find two big contributors to obesity

knowridge.com/2023/08/scientis

Since 1975, the number of obese individuals worldwide has almost tripled. This alarming statistic from the World Health Organization (WHO) raises questions about the causes. Over the years, people have pointed fingers at different culprits: our love for fatty foods, our increasing carb consumption, over-processed foods, and even our sedentary lifestyles. The answer is far more sinister.

New job, new insurance. New shitty insurance that doesn’t really cover my #Dexcom G5. With my shitty insurance it’s $325 for 30 days. Hard no. I’m sure when I run out of pumps I’ll have the same issue.

The insurance and drug companies just see us as cash cows to be milked for all we’re worth. And if we don’t play their game we can expect complications and an early death due to looser control.

The US is the only industrial nation where this happens. Fuck this shit. I don’t care that I’m diabetic, I care that we have to live in the poor house if we want to get our supplies.

As they were fully aware they should pay!

Exxon scientists in the 1970s accurately predicted climate change. “Excellent scientists modelled and predicted global warming with shocking skill and accuracy, only for the company to spend the next couple of decades denying that very climate science.”
