Reply to Wear and tear from lifelong stress can increase cancer mortality. Even without adjusting for any potential confounders like age, social demographics like race and sex, those with a high allostatic load were 2.4 times more likely to die from cancer than those with low allostatic loads by Wagamaga
Is this similar in any way to that notion that animals can straight up die of stress? I have to imagine getting cancer is stressful, and if you’re already stressed all the time, more stress certainly isn’t helpful

Reply to New York City health inspectors issued a disproportionate number of citations to restaurants serving Asian cuisine in the early months of 2020, finds a new study by a team of researchers by thebelsnickle1991
Could it be that Asian food has a higher margin of error in safe preparation than other cultures? Remember that many Asian dishes feature raw or intentionally undercooked meats, which, while often delicious, do run the risk of getting you sick.
But no, I think you’re right, the health inspectors are clearly racist and definitely not just issuing citations that reflect the proportion of foodborne illnesses in America stemming from instances in Asian restaurants.
