But if you say "I don't eat sugar/white flour" people go "oh you're allergic?", you explain the problem, then they think you're crazy, or they refuse to watch the research video for no reason, etc. Despite that everyone knows that "eating chocolate makes you happy" "poor people tend to be really sick" "candy causes cavities", "alcohol/drugs dull your brain", despite that we all know that things like asbestos used to be commonplace, they don't realize that we're all still dumb enough to have the same problems but just with different subjects today... "Milk is healthy!" but 100 years ago, milk was fresh from the cow and now it's not.
Food companies aren't out there for your health. At this point, doctors and researchers aren't necessarily out there for your health either, because they've either been "bought" by companies or the research they read has been. It's the same as the education system, they're not there to educate you. And the education system makes the same excuses.
"Kids in foreign countries do better in school because they're in school for longer hours" (= Not true, Finland's the best in Europe and they're in school for many less hours). "We'd do better if we had more money" (= My wife's elementary school literally used one of those metal triangles to call in kids from recess). "Other countries can do it that way because they're smaller" (America would be smaller too if every state acted like a separate country).
What miffs me is that my parents and grandparents apparently aren't out there to help me either. They taught me nothing. Clearly they know more than me about some things, so why isn't the information being passed down?
