How poisonous are our food

Quote from dollarbill : Sorry to hear that about your mom. Both my parents died of cancer too (father tried chemo/radiation dead in 7 months. Mother did nothing survived 3 years). I was drawn off topic and don't mean to get on an exclusive cancer topic. I was trying to point out that with proper nutrition your immune system will be stronger and eating toxic products will hurry your demise. I'm sure there are "snake oil salesmen" for any malady but there is a lot we can do to keep healthy by eating better

Sorry to hear that about your parents.


I totally agree that eating right and living healthy can help, but I don't think they're a substitute for medicine.

Quote from MISHNAH : Its pretty sad when poor countries eat sugar and wheat, and we're so effin rich that we eat HFCS and refined flour, wtf?!!?!?! I've pretty much cut out the junk food and most processed foods, and nowadays only drink Mexican Coke or Throwback Pepsi made with real sugar, might have some more calories but at least it tastes good. I had a Diet Coke yesterday while I was onboard a ship, only thing they had to drink. God damn it tasted nasty! Like water with a little brown coloring and a chemical taste, I'll never understand how people drink something so flavorless. But then I guess it tastes better with a 2,000 calorie lunch :rofl:

Us Americans have gotten use to nasty Diet Coke and Fast Food. When the sugar and fat is so cheap there's not much flavor to complain about.

just to keep nitpicking, you can't make your immune system stronger. if you could, it would be harmful and your immune system would end up attacking your own healthy tissues.

You can certainly make it weaker if you keep taking in antibiotics.

Quote from thikthird : taking antibiotics doesn't weaken your immune system.

you can quote me all you want, i stand by everything i say. now, care to try and refute what i say instead of just spreading pseudoscience?

First of all, quoting for reference doesn't imply any ill will so you don't have to get defensive... I just feel like quoting, that's all. Now, I'll proceed to explain my stand on how antibiotics have a negative impact on our immune system.

As a colony, bacterias go through evolution every second, every minute, and every day. If you use antibiotics to kill off a population of bacteria, you better dam hope that the antibiotics will kill every single one of them. Otherwise, the colony will grow stronger and evolve into what we call a super colony that is immune to antibiotics. Once they develop immunity to one type of antibiotic, we will develop a new type to kill that colony, and the colony will eventually become resistant to the new antibiotic as well.

In a sense, antibiotics doesn't make our immune system weaker, directly. Antibiotics only make humans weaker as a colony relative to the bacteria colony. We don't go through evolution fast enough to be able to defend against an evolved form of bacteria. We need antibiotics to help with our illness because our bodies aren't strong enough to defend itself against the evolved form of bacteria.

This is my take on pseudoscience. Learned all these in middle school

that's not what you said in your previous post. thank you for taking the time to type out a post that somewhat explains your previous, factually incorrect statement.

making super-resistant to antibiotic germs doesn't equate to weakening immune systems.

Weaker is a relative term. Compare to bacteria, humans are already weak to begin with. Antibiotics can weaken our immune system, indirectly.

Note that antibiotic is a double sided blade. It can not distinguish the difference between good and bad bacteria so it's going to kill both. Some bacterias are beneficial for our body so antibiotics can affect our immune system.

Non Veg is cool..
Chicken roasted at 800 degrees, so is pretty safe.
Tastes awesome.
