In 2020, the medical journal ''The Lancet'' published the article ''The cost of preventable disease in the USA'':
{{Cquote|A substantial proportion of poor health in populations is preventable. Previous work from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study1 suggests that nearly half of all health burden in the USA is attributable to a list of 84 modifiable risk factors. Globally, it is also generally accepted that a quarter, or perhaps up to half, of all deaths fall into the category of preventable deaths,2 making illness that can at least theoretically be avoided an accepted part of our health accounting.<ref>[https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpub/article/PIIS2468-2667(20)30204-8/fulltext ''The cost of preventable disease in the USA''] by Sandro Galea

I'll tell you when. Never. That's when. Of course, it's bad for you. Every nudnik knows that. I would never suggest that anyone should eat large quantities of it or eat it regularly. But indulging once a year on 30 April isn't going to do anybody much harm."<ref>[https://rationalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Spud&diff=2545354&oldid=2545211 Latest revision as of 13:38, 1 May 2023 (view source) Spud (talk | contribs)]</ref>
