I use evidence-based science to shred bogus claims about health and medicine. Vaccines are safe and effective. Evolution is a fact. Supplements are a waste of money. I post articles at skepticalraptor.com
A recent study highlights that 37.8% of #cancers are linked to modifiable risk factors, emphasizing the importance of lifestyle choices. Key risk factors include smoking, alcohol consumption, and obesity.

Over 40% of cancers linked to modifiable behavioral risk factors
A recent study highlights that 37.8% of cancers are linked to modifiable risk factors, emphasizing the importance of lifestyle choices. Key factors include smoking, alcohol consumption, and obesity, which collectively represent a significant portion of preventable cancers. Focusing on these behaviors can effectively reduce cancer risks, contrary to misleading online claims.

The CDC reported a historic high #LifeExpectancy of 79.0 years in the U.S. for 2024, up from 78.4 in 2023. Despite improvements, U.S. life expectancy lags behind other developed countries. And it might go down with Trump and RFK Jr policies.

Without #vaccines, Big Pharma will become Bigger Pharma. Anti-vaxxers claim Big Pharma profits immensely from vaccines. However, there will be greater profits in treating vaccine-preventable diseases.

The article critiques the anti-vaccine belief that Big Pharma profits immensely from vaccines, arguing instead that eliminating vaccines would yield greater profits from treating vaccine-preventable diseases. It emphasizes that Big Pharma executives are motivated by public health and economic viability, highlighting the overall costs associated with hospitalizations versus vaccine revenues.

Another study shows shingles vaccine reduces risk of dementia
Recent research from Canada indicates that the shingles vaccine may significantly reduce dementia risk. The study analyzed a quasi-randomized rollout of the vaccine, linking eligibility with a 2% lower likelihood of new dementia diagnoses over 5.5 years. While the exact reasons remain unclear, vaccination benefits are evident for older adults.
