remember when there used to be all these articles about how people in europe live longer than americans because they drink red wine and eat more olive oil or bullshit like that? turns out it was universal healthcare the whole time
Or maybe it’s because they study and ban food additives beyond finding the dose that causes immediate symptoms and don’t put an extremely strong industrial waste products in their drinking water (turns out the crap they put in the drinking water was poisoning the land when they dumped it in the rivers, and has been pretty convincingly linked to ovarian cysts and low testosterone while doing nothing for our teeth). Or maybe it’s just because they have better social cohesion and stronger worker protections.
But probably just the olive oil and red wine. And hey, all that stuff is complicated… Why not just buy the fancy expensive liquids at the grocery store? If you pay enough and do your research, you can even get olive oil that is legal to sell over there!

Chemicals in the water turning frogs gay lmao
It’s banned in the EU and Japan. Their dental outcomes are the same over the same period, and guess what we have more of?
Fluoride in toothpaste isn’t the same as what they dump in the drinking water, molecules matter.
One of those is a medical product lethal if you drink a bottle of it, the other is a hazardous material that you need training and PPE to handle
