Edit: Sorry for being rude in advance.
Alright. Usually I just ignore the trending page because of the garbage one can find there, but since you have bought so many votes for it and I’m also drunk and have too much time, I’m going to provide some insights anyway.
Amazingly, you are making so many different claims with…no proof at all. The late Christopher Hitchens once famously stated
"What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.”
BUT. I’m a genuinely nice guy, so I will do the things you are not able to do.
I will skip the NWO blah bullshit, since it’s so dumb that no one with an IQ over 70 would even consider this being valid knowledge.
So, let’s just go straight to the 20 points.
Pharmaceutical drugs
Antidepressants and painkillers are actually more toxic and addictive than heroin.
This is hardly the case. Heroin is probably the most toxic and addictive drug of all:
I was in need of antidepressants for years to be even able to live a somewhat normal life. Otherwise I maybe would have killed myself ages ago. Psychotropics are incredibly useful for people with mental illnesses, who would not be able to live without at all. So apparently you don’t know anything about them.
Alcohol
The legal intoxicant of choice, this attacks every cell in the body in order to produce a mind-altering buzz.
So? Your claim is, that there is some kind of attack – it’s your choice whether you consume alcohol or not. Don’t blame others for your weak self-discipline.
Chemical Food
Weaponized fast foods that lead to addiction, weight gain, and lethargy. Overheated oils turn rancid and sugar and spices are used to mask the corresponding bad taste.
I just ate this. According to you, this leads to weight gain, lethargy and addiction. I’m working about 12 hours a day. I have a workout schedule of six days a week. I have a BMI of 22 and a body fat percentage of below 15%. You were saying?
My point is: Of course, fast food CAN lead to, at least, weight gain – but so can vegetables too. It mainly depends on how much you consume and how high your energy consumption is. That’s a whole different thing.
Refined Sugars
These cause excessive cravings, weight gain and diabetes. Proven to be more addictive than cocaine.
This is just plainly wrong. According to Westwater, Fletcher and Ziauddeen (2016):
We find little evidence to support sugar addiction in humans, and findings from the animal literature suggest that addiction-like behaviours, such as bingeing, occur only in the context of intermittent access to sugar. These behaviours likely arise from intermittent access to sweet tasting or highly palatable foods, not the neurochemical effects of sugar.
Vaccines
Additives elevate heavy metals to toxic levels, creating autism in children ; among other things.
Another wrong claim. Vaccines are one of the greatest human discoveries of all time. And they don’t cause autism:
Twenty epidemiologic studies have shown that neither thimerosal nor MMR vaccine causes autism. These studies have been performed in several countries by many different investigators who have employed a multitude of epidemiologic and statistical methods.
Artificial Protein
Proteins in wheat called “gliadin” attack the thyroid gland, ruining energy and attributing to weight gain.
Says who? No scientific source of my knowledge stated this. Ever.
Preservatives
Citric acid; there’s the naturally occurring kind, which is an organic acid found in vegetables and fruits, particularly of the citrus variety. Then there’s the kind of citric acid that’s prepared in a lab, from black mold.
So, you are telling us now, that the same molecules from different sources are suddenly somewhat different – although their biochemical structure is still the same, because they are still the same molecules? GIVE. ME. SOME. FUCKING. EVIDENCE.
(Thanks @justtryme90 for the inspiration to this one)
Monosodium Glutamate
Often hiding as Natural Flavor, Spices, Hydrolyzed Extract, Autolyzed Yeast, Whey Protein, etc.
So what?
GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms)
Particularly soy, corn, and wheat.
Again: So what. GMOs are safe. Period. They can provide better and more resistant food for everyone. Even the WHO says:
GM foods currently available on the international market have passed safety assessments and are not likely to present risks for human health. In addition, no effects on human health have been shown as a result of the consumption of such foods by the general population in the countries where they have been approved.
Cigarettes
This keeps workers alive until retirement age, then they require prolonged medical care due to constant smoking.
Oh. Smoking is bad? Wow. What an amazing discovery. You should get a Nobel Prize for this one. I’m so super impressed.
Mercury
Found in dental fillings that creates systemic toxicity and heavy metal poisoning.
Again. Bullshit. The dose for a heavy metal poisoning is waaaay too low. The FDA states:
Based on this evidence, FDA considers dental amalgam fillings safe for adults and children ages 6 and above.
Aluminium
Found in conventional underarm deodorant that causes breast cancer.
Wrong. Again. This begins to get boring. The National Cancer Institute writes:
However, no scientific evidence links the use of these products to the development of breast cancer.
Chemtrails
Aerosols sprayed by certain aircraft that add to overall pollution and toxicity.
Really, dude? Like, for real? No, I’m not even going to bother with this one.
EMFs (ElectroMagnetic Frequencies)
Cellphones and headsets that bring dangerous electromagnetic fields close to the brain.
Turn off your PC/Laptop/Smartphone. NOW. You hypocrite. Besides that:
Replication of either the negative or positive effects of exposure on cognition is sorely lacking in the scientific literature and more work is required to verify and reconcile differences between studies reporting either contradictory or no effects.
Power Lines and Cell Towers
These create cancer if you live nearby them, much like wifi.
Oh, boy. Your life must be so incredibly stressful. Worrying about so much shit going on. But let me give you some calm:
The amount of exposure from living near a cell phone tower is typically many times lower than the exposure from using a cell phone. About 30 studies have looked at possible links between cell phone use and tumors in people. Most studies to date have not found a link between cell phone use and the development of tumors
Flouride
Placed in our water and conventional toothpaste, which clogs the pineal gland and lowers IQ and spirituality.
I’m really curious to learn about the causation between low IQ and Fluoride. I really am. But since you provide, again, no fucking evidence, I guess it’s as non-existent as most of your other claims.
So, I just used about an hour of my precious lifetime to debunk some random weirdo on the internet. Probably pointless, but if at least one of your readers realizes, how much junk you wrote here, it was worth my time.
I know, that I was rude and disrespectful and an arrogant prick in general – this happens sometimes. You can see this as the 21st way of how humans are attacked.
haha did you really just say you are a nice guy?, also, the couple of things i saw on your response... cringe man, so sorry for you, don't let the alcohol talk dude.

@egotheist is a nice guy.
What was cringe in his reply? Feel free to directly quote the cringe and offer a reply to them. It's good for the brain to engage in debates.

Don't believe that graph about heroin. Heroin is not very toxic, and you can consume it everyday with no problems.
It does have high addiction potential though.
