Hendrix, if you're going to talk about dietary health, you really should have a reference of the largest dietary health study ever conducted. Most people don't need to have everything spelled out for them. You had a problem understanding the concept of rate of cancer among smokers in the context of that quote? Anyways, the conclusion that is shared is that dietary fat consumption is a stronger indicator for the development of terminal illness than any other widespread cause. It's kind of sad that you're not familiar with the theory, considering that you feel the need to respond on the topic. Feel free to keep the discussion going, but my patience for idiocy is limited so don't expect my participation.

that's because the concept doesn't exist. Prevalence? Incidence? sure. Rate? no.

well, being African is a strong indicator for a high likelihood of catching AIDS, what's your point?

I am very aware of this theory, which is mainly perpetuated by bullshit pseudo-scientists completely mis-understanding the point of epidemiological studies and what they can and cannot imply.

I would assume a high tolerance for idiocy considering the literature you quoted.

asian cigarettes are indeed much weaker. take, for example, marlboros.

Marlboro Lights in the US = 6 mg tar, 0.5mg nicotine
Marlboro Lights in Korea = 3mg tar, 0.3mg nicotine

Yeah, the quality of the lining isn't very impresive.

Japanese people who live the american lifestyle get american cancers: breast, prostate, colon, etc. Stomach cancer is not a concern like it is in asia. This shows that behavior is more important than genetics in cancer formation.

Hendrix, please give or link a good rebuttal to the china study if you have one. I'd love to read it.

I like it a lot, reminds me of the Dries paint splatter but this is like bucket spill. Though this may seem stupid for a shirt that loud, I really don't like the red contrast stitching on the front. (if we're talking about the one on SSense? I don't know if there are any other)

Hey guys, If you've got a few minutes to measure some of your tee shirts, I'd appreciate it if you contributed to my thread. I figure it'd be a good resource if it reaches critical mass, as it were. http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=234612

Not making **** up dude, if I'm standing outside waiting for a bus and the dude exhales smoke and I breathe in directly, I certainly feel that a lot more than breathing in smog in the air. Are you really trying to say that if you directly inhale smoke you should feel less affected than the generally polluted air you breathe in 24/7? This is the dumbest thing you've ever said.
