Reply to New study finds plant-based diet may help combat fibromyalgia by BoundariesAreFun

Welcome to r/science! This is a heavily moderated subreddit in order to keep the discussion on science.

Any anecdotal comments elsewhere in the discussion will be removed and our normal comment rules apply to all other comments.

>If you are really concerned then learn to cook from scratch or raw ingredients.

Even then there are additives. With produce you have fertilizers and with meats there are a whole host of additives in the animal's feed that end up in the meat. Unless you are reenacting our hunter gatherer days your food will have different man-made additives in it and even there you'll likely still have contaminants from man-made activities.

(None of that is necessarily a bad thing, many of those additives are necessary for the animal's health and are also beneficial or even required by humans.)

Reply to comment by druffischnuffi in Researchers say derelict objects left in orbit and other disintegrating space junk may cause a catastrophic collision above our atmosphere. They warn that they would destroy communication systems, setting modern society back decades. by Wagamaga

for sure. It's obviously in the interest of anyone who wants to, like, send more than one thing to space.

At scale, there are too many who won't pick up after themselves unless required. It could / should have been done earlier. This effort towards functioning, enforced international regulation is sorely needed.

Reply to Optimal dietary patterns for prevention of chronic disease: Participants with low insulinemic , low inflammatory or diabetes risk-reducing diet had the largest risk reduction for incident major CVD, type 2 diabetes and cancer as a composite and individually by Meatrition

For those without access to the full text, this is how the studied dietary patterns were defined in terms of food groups to be favoured/reduced (should bypass the paywall). Generally, these dietary patterns gave positive weightings for fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and whole grains, and negative weightings for red and/or processed meat, sugar-sweetened beverages, and ultra-processed foods.

Hegemony,

Work two part time jobs, or on salary for that matter and see to it family is fed. The system is broken, making eating whole foods (not the brand) unavailable to most families.

Problem is, my comment is social science so it will be removed. But I can cite how difficult it is for families to not rely on processed foods for multiple meals per week.
