      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 …

          Surely, the average human across the world is healthier. But when you look at certain countries and areas, seems less so. The US for example will reach 50% obesity rates by 2030, Poverty and education still significant factors in predicting health outcomes globally.

          There is some evidence that types of sugar promote certain strains of commensal bacteria and may drive things like NASH and the resulting bump in liver transplants, but your core argument is absolutely correct.
