@videoK1 People live longer due to the decline of infectious diseases, better care for physical trauma, etc. but they now develop cancer, degenerative diseases, & dementia earlier - often linked to diet. Some people can handle a junk food diet but the high rate of depression in the US is a strong indicator that many people likely cannot. In the absence of a definitive study on diet's statistical relevance to depression (don't hold your breath on that) I'd err on the side of caution.

glad you mentioned MSG, it's easily one of the worst things most Americans eat. And they eat more of it than anything else since it's in everything.

@Rayzorbladez In animals Vitamin C deficiency has been confirmed as an important role in development of hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis, but due to ethical reasons placebo-controlled human studies are impossible to do.[50] Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant in vessels and inhibits inflammatory process.[51] It has therapeutic properties on high blood pressure and its fluctuation,[52][53] and arterial stiffness in diabetes.[54] Vitamin C is also a
