    Meat consumption per person in 1850: 75lbs Meat consumption per person in 2020: 180lbs Like sugar consumption, this explains almost nothing about disease People are VASTLY healthier today than they were even 40 years priorhttps://twitter.com/AlpacaAurelius/status/1220112662136266752 …

    Sugar consumption per person in 1850: 5 lbs Sugar consumption per person in 2020: 175 lbs This explains almost all disease. People have turned into a fermenting, stagnant, toxic sugary soup that breeds cancer and disease.

        It's a common (and easily disprovable) myth that we are less healthy now than we were in the past The reality (for anyone with the slightest inclination towards facts) is that the biggest driver of chronic disease is AGE, not obesity

        For example, most people don't know that the INCIDENCE of diabetes is falling across the world However, the PREVALENCE is increasing Fewer people are being diagnosed with the disease, but they live longer = more diabetes

        Also, it appears even the sugar figures were wildly off (unsurprising)https://twitter.com/cjsnowdon/status/1220857469905272832?s=19 …

        Nearly 3,000 RTs for these fictitious figures. The real numbers (for the UK) are approximately: 1850: 55 pounds 1900: 90 pounds 2020: 70 pounds https://velvetgloveironfist.blogspot.com/2014/11/calorie-consumption-revisited-no-3-sugar.html … https://twitter.com/AlpacaAurelius/status/1220112662136266752 …

        Because people live longer now, we have more opportunities for certain diseases to manifest. Bcs we have better diagnostic tests & tools, more diseases are diagnosed. Bcs we have better sanitation, vaccinations & treatments, fewer people die of related illnesses. #BadScience

        Clearly, this guy (and he has to be a guy) is a paid shill for Big Liver. Love how he courageously doesn't even put his name on either his Twitter account or blog, but he offers coaching. Sure. Sounds totally legit
