leaded fuels, asbestos, cigarettes, asbestos in cigarettes, and being morally unable to divorce their horrid wives

Cigarette epidemic. Smoking really took off in the 1920s when mass produced cigs became a thing, while in earlier times you had to smoke a large clumsy cigar. You notice heart disease rates have diminished since smoking has become less common.

Three presidents (FDR, Ike, and LBJ) died due to the direct or indirect effects of smoking.

>Eisenhower suffered a major heart attack on September 23, 1955. There were not yet any defibrillators in the '50s or heparin and no scanning methods outside an EKG. Nitroglycerine and morphine existed but no aspirin or stents. The president managed to recover in spite of the limited treatment options available then and announced that he would seek a second term next year. Defibrillation was first proposed only a year after Eisenhower's heart attack when Paul Zoll wrote in the New England Journal of Medicine about the possibility of applying electric shocks to a patient's heart to stop atrial fibrillation.[9]

Cigarettes but also widespread alcohol, red meat and lard consumption. Pre-WW2 westerners really liked their beer, bacon and lard

Seed oils.
https://raypeat.com/articles/articles/unsaturated-oils.shtml
Q: You say vegetable oils are hazardous to your health. What vegetable oils are you talking about?Mainly, I'm referring to basedbean oil, corn oil, safflower oil, canola, sesame oil, sunflower seed oil, palm oil, and any others that are labeled as "unsaturated" or "polyunsaturated." Almond oil, which is used in many cosmetics, is very unsaturated.Chemically, the material that makes these oils very toxic is the polyunsaturated fat itself. These unsaturated oils are found in very high concentrations in many seeds, and in the fats of animals that have eaten a diet containing them. The fresh oils, whether cold pressed or consumed as part of the living plant material, are intrinsically toxic, and it is not any special industrial treatment that makes them toxic.

Seed oils. Then they learnt how to treat heart disease, so the deaths dropped.

I recently read some statistic that sounded crazy, but the more I thought about it, was probably realistic. Something like 10% of children born in wedlock are not the child of the married husband. So many married women are whores.

I noticed reading on the Nazi era that so many Germans just died of heart attacks around the age of 38.Was it PTSD from trench warfare or something?

Marriage is, and always has been, a tool used by the wealthy to manage money power and influence. If you're not a politician or high ranking frott facing in a large company, and your net worth is below $10 mil, there is literally zero reason for you to get married unless you just want to LARP that women are actually capable of love.

The key is to never marry a white woman. Don't get me wrong they are great for a pump and dump since they can no longer pair bond anyway but do not get attached or go beyond that at all. They like to jump from dick to dick to dick so their shelf life is limited.

Shitty diets because Jews kept putting lard and other slop filler in food. Also smoking was popular at the time.

I've been married for 15 years because I dont give a fuck i just do what I think is best for my family. Most of these failed marriages are tards who think you can turn a whore into a wife. I got my wife pregnant in college and I made it work because my son's chance at being the best he could be means more to me than any of the other bullshit.

I guess medicine got good enough to let more people live to the age when heart disease becomes unavoidable, but not good enough yet to treat it.

Healthy 1950s food was packed with lard, everyone smoked like a chimney, and a heart attack was just called getting old. Boomers live longer because they're standing on the graves of a million GIs who died so modern medicine could figure this shit out.

Men are avoiding impregnating women out of fear of responsibility i.e. socially approved slavery.There are three kinds of men:1) Beta marriedcucks who do everything they’re told, marry women get women pregnant and slave away to support mother and child indefinitely. They’re a dying breed because marriage has gone from necessary evil to nightmare mode in the last 50 years and no one wants that stupid shit.2) Guys who fuck around but don’t stick around. The babies fathered by these men mostly end up down the drain at the local abortion clinic except for Gigachad babies who women would suffer any hardship to raise alone.3) NEETs/incels/MGTOWs who won’t >have sex or children whether by choice, or because they’re ugly and women hate them.Only category 1) is reliably resulting in families and there are less and less of them every day.

i was in the Army for eight years and only one person i knew didn't have his marriage destruct over infidelity. One. Battalion goes on exercises or deployment or even lockdown and the wives see them off and are in the bars and clubs a few hours later looking for dick. It was sad to witness. The effect on most men was devastating and I don't know any that were not permanently different after having gone through it.

Marriage and family has always been a sacrifice. That’s why historically society and government have worked very hard to give the average beta cuck provider stiff a break, by 1) giving him full authority over the household and 2) generally refraining from making fun of him for being a beta cuck provider instead of retaining his freedomProblem is that deep down nobody ever respected marriedcuck dudes because 1) there is nothing fundamentally worthy of respect about slaving away for the benefit of others, beta cuck providers are losers who have to bribe women with cash and prizes and 2) despite how much society historically worked to stigmatize him women and men too can’t help having a sneaking admiration for the man who gets women not through material provision or promises to enslave himself but rather through good looks, charm, physical strength or superior virility.And no the Jews didn’t do this. Human nature and the pathetic reality underneath it all of beta cucking and beta cucks did.
