Life causes cancer.
Do you mean Red Meat? Yes, switch to Vegetarian food. Sadhguru explains fantastically well how we can do this.
No, I meant living. If your cells divide, you're at risk for developing cancer.
Of course, there are things that can modify that risk, including diet. If you want to move beyond talking about X causes cancer, where X includes living, red meat, and vegetarian food, you need to start quantifying relative risk.
True, but what point are you trying to make here that's related to what they said? Commenting on how absolute they were about saying "causes cancer"...?
Yeah, pretty much. Curtailing foods that "cause cancer in the long term" means curtailing pretty much everything. It's about balancing risks and rewards. One shouldn't stay inside 24/7 to avoid our carcinogenic sun, and smoking weed every now and then is probably alright too. It's OK to enjoy a variety of foods and there is no way to abolish the risk of cancer in the long term. You can reduce it, but you may also choose to live a little.
For understanding things better, first we will need to stop hiding behind Usernames to get a tiny bit of credibility. Solutions exist for this, period.
I don't need NLP bots wearing me down. I've had enough of that.
Now you'd be surprised to know we're entering a period where personalities we admire may not exist.
Say an actor, a person we chat with through mobile(practically everyone), powerful people, etc. they might not exist but their profile might be generated via AI. Such possibility was not possible 20 years ago. Today, a 20 year kid can generate fake profiles.
There's a grain of truth to that, but it really isn't directly relevant to this thread. Based on just this one tiny interaction, I'm a little concerned about your mental health. I hope if you need help, you're already getting it.
