| Trying to attribute it to just one cause is always fallacious. In truth the modern Western diet is probably the worst of it. Highly processed seed oils that are chemically extracted and used for frying and baking. I'm not one of those people who believes that they are genuinely toxic but they have too much omega-6. Inexpensive sources of sugar everywhere. Conditioners and preservatives in everything. Most vegetables and fruits are sprayed with pesticides to some degree. Low variety and diversity of vegetables in traditional diets. Combine this with exceedingly high levels of misinformation both from the government and various dietitians, celebrities, medical journals, doctors, Facebook groups and users, conspiracy theorists etc. It's hard for people to know what is actually going to kill them and what isn't. All I can tell you is is that I got a pair of 90-year-old grandparents who always eat eggs and bacon for breakfast, cook their food the old fashioned way, drink plenty of tea and always seek out the highest quality ingredients for their foods. |
