The documentary claims that eating an egg a day is as bad for your life expectancy as smoking five cigarettes a day, due to artery plaque buildup from high cholesterol content in eggs. But that assertion is based on outdated information, and recent research suggests that the effects of eggs are nowhere near comparable to those of cigarettes.

According to the World Health Organization, about 34,000 cancer deaths per year worldwide are attributable to diets high in processed meat, while about 1 million cancer deaths are due to tobacco smoking, 600,000 are due to alcohol consumption and more than 200,000 per year are due to air pollution.

In the film, several nutrition experts downplay the role of sugar in health problems and instead shift the focus to animal protein, despite the fact that plenty of research has linked sugar to diabetes and heart disease.

Yes, cigarettes are worse for you than meat. 

 

Refined sugar probably is too.

 

Luckily, none of those three are necessary. 

I think cutting sugar out is really all you need to do to be healthier when it comes to diet.

Refined sugar? It is a good step but only part of the equation. This includes white bread and white pasta which the pancreas treats the exact same way as sugar. 

Don't cut out whole fruit though. (you can ditch fruit juice, it is no different than a soda)

"All you need to do"  Well that really depends on your current diet,  on your goals and how healthy you want to be. Everyone has that personal choice to make. You can always do more the questions do you want to.

Instead of working out 5 times a week you could work out 7 and throw in two a days sometimes and you could never eat sugar, never consume alcohol, never eat meat, never drink anything except water, never eat fried stuff or processed foods. You got to find a line that gets you the results you want.

Seriously though if people used condoms, stopped smoking, cut refined sugars and limited their meat and alcohol, the world as we know it would flip, evolution would shift, society and nature would thrive.

It's frustrating and pathetic people have zero self control. The above is not that hard, I mean it isn't hard at all but people act like they're dying or insulted if you say otherwise. Needs to change...and it is to an extent so I'm thankful for that.

      Joe Person: Andy Dalton will 'get another crack' as starting QB

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Rumors I've read, and just watching Young and the  play calling, seems to indicate that Canales does not believe in Young …at all ..maybe he was  told by  owner, gm, etc that the franchise is moving  on …Or maybe Canales sees the limited plays calls with young under  center i mean, it is all conjecture  …but let’s  face it…126 yards…what more is there to say…yes there were drops but all qbs have those  He needs to do really really well against KC and  even  if he does…might not be enough  i suspect they will either trade him before draft or will draft  a qb and have an open competition   If he stays, it might be as a backup

      Bryce Young is HIM.

      I would argue this has literally always been the case for almost the entire existence of the NFL. There are substantially more busts than hits, across all rounds. I would say also that there doesn't appear to be much evidence for college quarterbacks being less prepared than before. Certainly in some cases they are vastly underprepared but that has always been the case.  I would definitely make the argument that in every single major sport that athletes are VASTLY more experienced than 20, 30 and more years ago. A lot of that is due to earlier specialization in sport(versus just playing all the sports from K-12), DRAMATICALLY more reps and practice(travel ball, summer leagues, etc) and far greater access to specialized training(most high end players/prospects have specific trainers even before college). All of these things were not readily available decades ago. So the theoretical "10,000 reps" are being hit far, far sooner for most younger athletes. As for the argument for "gimmick offenses" being a problem. I mean....think about how prevalent things like the triple option were in the 70's, 80's and even 90's. Or just offenses in general that were absolutely extinct at the NFL level.  I think there are some general issues with certain positions and the development cycles in college but overall, the development in college has actually improved tremendously. The thing is, it's never going to improve enough to where you are just getting insanely high hit rates on prospects or large percentages of draft picks immediately playing like 8 year veterans. It will never really work like that.

      Updated 2025 draft order

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      Yeah sure some teams are not gonna want to have to recruit a QB like its college BUT you got add in desperation. One team WILL fall in love and go after him. A HC or GM on the hot seat will look past deion and draft him.
