    What’s your source for gluten being bad for your heart? This Harvard study from 2017 says the opposite.

    https://www.bmj.com/content/357/bmj.j1892

    Conclusion Long term dietary intake of gluten was not associated with risk of coronary heart disease. However, the avoidance of gluten may result in reduced consumption of beneficial whole grains, which may affect cardiovascular risk. The promotion of gluten-free diets among people without celiac disease should not be encouraged.

    Because they make me momentarily feel better while I neurotically obsess about not only my own eventual death but the fact that I will eventually watch all my family members die from old age medical issues natural causes and freak accidents.

    I’m guessing you’re a devoutly religious 14 year old with a purity ring…

    That’s kinda the point of drugs. They are bad for you but they make you feel realy good for a short time. And because humans are stupid they crave that easy happiness.

    Alcohol in low to moderate quantities helps people in social situations. It makes people more, how to say, myopic. A little drink and you don’t think as much about long term consequences. This makes it easier for people to talk about some things, or take risks like asking your date if they want to make out. Excessive drink will fuck you up, though, especially over a long time period.

    Drugs are many and varied. I don’t really use any so I can’t speak to them, but generally they make people feel great. There’s a huge cost to pay for some of them, but people chose that for various reasons.

    Because they make us feel good in the short run, and are pressured by society to cope now. Especially when the boss man demands we function and do our job.

    If we treated our workforce like human beings (or our school children, for that matter) they might not be so susceptible to vices, but that would also harm a major market and western civilizations prioritize economies over the good of the public.

    And I can quit coffee whenever I want.

        You’re definitely influenced by the market of western civ. Big tobacco, for instance, lobbies the government of Mexico to let them sell cigarettes without restriction (e.g. to kids, without warning labels, without PSAs warning people that smoking is dangerous).

        I should clarify when I say it happens in western civilization, I’m not saying it doesn’t happen outside of western civilization. China, for instance has its own set of vices sold to the people fully aware of their ill health effects. I’m less familiar with them, and can’t give an informed opinion about it.

        But as Russia’s history with Vodka shows us, personal responsibility only carries us so far, and a state may gladly sacrifice the integrity of its households to squeeze more production from the workforce.

          ?? that is false because here in mexico, all cigarrete brands have smoking labels and you cant smoke in public, only in special areas, and you need an id to buy them. but its sad that here some people dont take that seriously, or in the entire world, oh no!!

            They said the tobacco companies lobby to loosen restrictions, not that their efforts have been successful.

    Load of bs, cigarettes is only thing there that isn’t actually at least potentially good if consumed in moderation.
