Damn. That's sad and too close in age for comfort. I wonder if some of the stuff he did had anything to do with affecting his health.
Yeah probably being a lifelong alcoholic. His liver issues in the movie were a result of alcohol. RIP
I didn't watch that movie for a long time and by then all the skeptics had debunked the documentary as basically being complete bullshit. Watching him stuff himself with so much food it was too obvious what he was up to -- then you learn he was an alcoholic as well. Dude just seemed to be a scammer.
Would be interesting to know what type of cancer. That is fairly young and a little close to home. But I've already lost college friends in their 40's to various types of cancer. One in two Americans will get a serious diagnosis, etc.
Over 40%, I think. It's going to hit every household, more or less. But it doesn't have to be a big deal, and a lot of cancers are pretty treatable nowadays. Most of us in our 50's know so many people who've had something.
Yet most fatty liver is due to high carbohydrate and sugar diet particularly fructose. RIP Morgan Spurlock
Egad. I had a doomscroll session with Forever Chemicals, and it's only of those things where I might be better off unseeing since we're already knee deep in them with no company able to foot the bill for remediation.
Yeah, the 3M story is incredible. And just looking at our lives with plastics. Read recently that most of us in the US consume a credit card worth of plastic every week, just in our normal diets. Le sigh. https://nautil.us/you-eat-a-credits-card-worth-of-plastic-every-week-238481/ The EPA and the FDA were never actually designed to keep track of all possible health impacts in consumer products -- just the most obvious stuff, in most cases -- and they have a huge backlog of chemicals to study.
