People born between 1970 to 1985 are dying more frequently, in what researchers call a "genuinely alarming trend." A new study found they are seeing "increasing mortality in cardiovascular disease, cancer, and external causes compared to their predecessors."

    I saw a video where they talked about a bunch of studies about ultra processed foods, and the top 3 worst foods for health were (iiirc)

    1. Processed meats like bacon and hotdogs
    2. Sugary drinks
    3. Sugary baked goods (think this included oreos and snack cakes etc)

    Those 3 were like 99% of the danger of processed foods.

      1. Yeah, sulfates and various preserving materials aren’t good long term. One of those cases of very modest consumption. Though bacon is practically everywhere now.
      2. I wonder if it’s sugar in general or HFCS. I have a feeling it’s the later given its plethora of negative health qualities.
      3. Same with if it’s HFCS or not related into it.

      The most dangerous processed foods are also made so cheap and thus easier to consume.
