Why is America so brain dead?

Lot's of reasons for this.

Vaccines, fluoride, artificial chemicals in the food/processed food, political correctness, media influence, education (lack thereof), I could go on and on.

It's self reinforcing too, once you mold society to see fluoride/vaccines/processed food as normal and acceptable, you quite literally dumb down the population even more as your control over media forces them to do/believe things that are not in their best interests.

Dissenting opinions are squashed, and the people are divided, easy to control.

The funny thing too is that we know what causes cancer, an imbalance in body chemistry. When they say x might be "carcinogenic" what they mean is that it causes chaos in body chemistry to such a high state that it can be definitely called "carcinogenic".

The cure/answer/reason for cancer was known in the 30s, research otto von warburg who won the nobel prize in medicine for his work.

Cancer cells do not grow in alkaline (oxygen rich) environments, and will actively start to die off if the body's PH is raised to 8.0 or higher.

The reason cancer rates are so high is because people are filling their bodies with acidic and generally toxic "food esqe" items that over time add up to cause cancer. It is good to eat a balance of foods, and there is nothing inherently wrong with "acidic" foods as long as it is balanced out by alkaline foods.

You combine the (mostly) acidic foods with tons of household chemicals (detergents/soaps) combined with fluoride in the water and toothpaste, combined with taking showers in chlorine water, combined with BPA laced plastic, and aluminum everywhere, and the body can only keep up the balancing for so long.

And before some (thinks he knows it all) armchair internet expert comes in here and tells me the usual line: "oh but the body always regulates PH so it doesn't matter what you eat" keep in mind just because the body tries to regulate it doesn't mean that eating a high acid diet is not damaging.

It's like saying that the body will always heal cuts/scrapes so it doesn't matter how many times you cut yourself because the body is always going to heal it anyways...

Ive read this and believe this is correct.

The thing is, there is no money to be made by big pharma if the cure is merely to stop consuming so many chemicals, eat healthy, and get better.

Drugs are needed to make money, and if you approach "curing cancer" with the need for drugs, you will never find a cure as the problem is not one solved by consuming more things, but less.

great comment, and i do agree with you and think this is true, but i do remember hearing that the ph cancer thing was disproven.. i could be wrong though

Unlikely. You can't disprove physics.

So what foods are alkaline? Fresh fruits and veggies? What if your taste buds wretch and gag when you have these? Does that go away? I seriously hate most fruit and veg, but a shitty chicken mcnugget tastes great. That's a conspiracy in itself cause I can't be the only one that has a taste for toxic food.

So what foods are alkaline? Fresh fruits and veggies?

Yes, along with plenty of other things.

What if your taste buds wretch and gag when you have these?

Well if you're not 12, and a grown adult then you might have some kind of phobia or other problem.

Does that go away?

It does for most people once they hit adult age.

It is, fast food companies put tons of dopamine inducing chemicals in their foods, lots of sugar, salt, and fat. Many chemicals added to food are not necessary for the actual food itself, only the "feel good" effect, such as MSG.

Thanks. No, I'm an adult and actually in good physical shape, but just can't get myself off the toxic food as much as I would like, maybe cause I just don't know how to cook or select good foods. Thanks for your insight. I can engineer anything, but lack basic food skills.

Look up some good cookbooks. There are plenty of free ones out there.

You can cook good healthy food and have it be quite tasty.

Thanks again. Will do. It's obviously worth my time.

Did you grow up eating fast food or were you turned on to it later on in life?

Divorced parents with a working single mother, so I ate fast food around three times a week growing up. Now I eat it once every few weeks but the craving is still there

Evidence for kids not having cancer in the past?

Cancer is primarily a bigger deal because people are living longer. This means that you are more likely to develop cancer sometime in your life because of how much longer people are living

Google is your friend. Children getting cancer back then was incredibly rare and pretty much unheard of. Same with autism. The rate was 1 in 50k in the 60s now its 1 in 86.

Proof?

Also a lot less children are dying early on now, due to vaccines and antibiotics

proof on your part? Every time I read a government thing on vaccines they cite nothing. Right now on the cdc its 1 in 68. Google 1960s autism rate and you will find it which its 1 in 50k. Its just not on the cdc website(unless I have't found it) because its not the 60s anymore.

you think maybe our understanding and classification of the may have changed since the 1960s? the current system for autism classification started in 2013.

No shit its changed. But you have to be a complete moron to think it will go from 1 in 50k to 1 in 68. It may go from 1 in 50k to maybe 1 in 40k or maybe a little bit less than that but if you really think it went to 1 in 68 you should just drop out of life. + if you read the chart its constantly changing and projected to be 1 in 25 within a few years.

No shit its changed. But you have to be a complete moron to think it will go from 1 in 50k to 1 in 68.

Yes, changing the metric to something considerably more fine grained can do that. Of course, that also ignores one of the other important factors in determining autism risk; parental age.

In addition to the factors listed in the top comment, nuclear testing came in full force in the fifties and the addition of those radioactives should not be discounted.

Do you have any evidence that more kids get cancer now then they did in the past, or shall we all just believe everything your saying? Come on man, provide something for us or else its juts bullshit.

At some point the problem is so big it becomes "normal".

I don't know why the hell anyone would downvote you. Your comment is on point.

At some point, downvotes serve as a confirmation.

That's an excellent attitude! Whether it's a downvote or an upvote I perceive it all as a confirmation. That's how I make sure I never need to reevaluate my ideas and my statements when everybody is confirming them.

Much easier than actually critically self reflecting

I downvoted you in confirmation

I am ever the optimist.

People laugh at California but the fact is that lots of shit causes cancer... even outside of California. This is because you're not required to prove industrial chemicals safe before marketing and selling them.

Why is America so brain dead?

Religion / anti-intellectualism / science denial.

Education system focused on passing standardized tests instead of learning how to find, evaluate, and analyze information.

Science denial is the reason america is brain dead? Really?

I mean, forget global warming and evolution for a second as those are not only no brainers, but the overall controversy is amongst the religious anyways.

What other "science denial" examples are actually causing people to be brain dead?

If anything that is a result, not a cause of being brain dead...

proof on your part? Every time I read a government thing on vaccines they cite nothing. Right now on the cdc its 1 in 68. Google 1960s autism rate and you will find it which its 1 in 50k. Its just not on the cdc website(unless I have't found it) because its not the 60s anymore.
