Not even wealth is saving Americans from dying at rates seen among some of the poorest Europeans

Experts said a new study of wealth and mortality in middle-aged and older adults points to deep-rooted health risks in the U.S.

Fifty years ago, life expectancy in the U.S. and wealthy European countries was relatively similar.

That began to change around 1980. As European life expectancy steadily increased, the U.S. struggled to keep pace — and its life expectancy even began declining in 2014.


Today, the wealthiest middle-aged and older adults in the U.S. have roughly the same likelihood of dying over a 12-year period as the poorest adults in northern and western Europe, according to a study published Wednesday in The New England Journal of Medicine.

I suspect a lot of it is due to the crap food that is available.....FDA approved poison in all our food.....Everything is laced with HFCS and preservatives to make it last, be cheaper, and be addictive.

Food makes us sick. Pharmaceuticals make us sicker. Insurance and managed practices driving medical treatment to make profit instead of positive outcomes.

There also chronic stress which leads to heart disease, sleep deprivation, hypertension, inflammation, weakened immune system.....Too few people doing too much work while the rest lay about on the EBT.

Americans found the land of milk and honey alright, but now we are lactose intolerant, and diabetic.

I've worked with so many people who just didn't care what they ate, I saw people walk into work with some giant looking "coffee" milkshake from McD's in the morning, and go right back there for lunch. If you eat processed food in America you should at least educate yourself on the risks. Half of American's don't even care.

Here is more bad news:

yes, all about diet. We eat too much and its bad choices.

Where's the one made of protein and fat? That's what we're mostly made of.

mineralization is also very important. the very minerals are leached from our bones due to bad diet and over medication

It is the water, a big part of it. Sure, diet plays a part, but suicide and drug overdoses eat that life expectancy number from the middle. But yes, the water. If you are on a municipal water system your water is laced with everything from pesticides to countless classes of prescription drugs that have leeched into the system.

Because your food and healthcare are crap

Has immigration been factored in, those with lower life expectancy dying in the US?

I use this ZeroWater filter. Works great. 5 stage filtration.

I only drink distilled water, have for fifty years.

Well, you have to be careful with that. Distilled water lacks essential minerals necessary for health.

Dissolved minerals in tap water are basically inorganic, not good. Foods contain all those trace minerals in an organic form.

Minerals are minerals. Organic minerals are just the same minerals as found in the soil and rocks that plants take up bound to carbon which makes them a bit more bioavailable.

A "bit" more?

60-70%​

Organic minerals are generally 60-70% more bioavailable than inorganic minerals. This higher bioavailability is due to the fact that organic minerals are bound to organic matter, making them more readily absorbed and utilized by the body. In contrast, inorganic minerals are often poorly absorbed and can cause environmental contamination. Therefore, when considering mineral supplements, it is important to choose organic or plant-derived sources to ensure the best possible absorption and utilization of essential nutrients.2

So what? All that means is that you are going out of your way throwing away more good minerals in your water that you could be using. The water from Zero Water is cheap and free and better for you than pure distilled water. I have a distiller. It takes a lot of time and energy to distill water, even more if you buy it pre-bottled. And I like the taste better than pure distilled water.

Whether you agree or disagree with the often-used slogan, "Diversity is our Strength," you should understand that comparing any medical fact from multiple countries with that same statistical "fact" in the U.S. is folly. We are too fucking DIVERSE for those numbers to have any meaning.

Consider lifespans. You cannot compare European or Asian countries that are almost entirely homogeneous with the U.S., which groups together White Europeans, African Americans, Asians, native Americans, and Hispanics (all of which are quite diverse within themselves).

You want something relevant? Compare Chinese life expectancy (in China) with Americans of Chinese ancestry. Compare Italian life expectancy with Italian-American life expectancy. Compare African American life expectancy with that of Africans in West Africa.
