If we're sharing thoughts, I need to point out that once you hit your late 60s, you're more likely to get cancer, and your risk keeps going up [1]. Our food is loaded with chemicals that can make you sick or even cause cancer [2]. That age is also when people usually retire and are no longer "productive".

Here's where I might lose you. In our country, illness is a way to make money [3]. If you're really sick and trying to stay alive, you'll spend everything you've got. So the quickest way to turn people's savings into profit while also reducing the population of non-productive people is for them to fall ill, pay as much as they can to survive and then ultimately die an early death, which triggers a death tax event [4].

The other aspect might be that people in their 60s also don't eat diets to replenish things that they've been losing since their 20's.

Similarly to how so many people that died from covid tended toward very low vitamin D levels [https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...]

Most "medical" research tends to never focus on actual nutrition. Probably because that would reduce profits for those with vested interest from selling treatments.

Orrrr it could just be that high quality nutritional research is actually incredibly difficult due to the number of variables involved, especially when compared with an easily controlled single intervention study. Not saying there's no money involved, but it's much more complicated than that.

This is a good reason to be long on hospice stocks.

Maybe that’s why America has such high productivity. We’re have a culture and economy that agree that it’s better to die than be unproductive and rely on others.

Yes! Processed food is loaded with preservatives which IMO probably increase the risk of cancer.

Why would you think that? Which preservative additives are you concerned about?
