      True! I looked up CTE in soccer before posting. Apparently repeatedly heading a large ball is not good for the brain

      Yes because repeatedly bashing your head and other parts of yourself is exactly the same. /s

      I’m thinking of a way to test this 🤔. 2 test subjects. Each time one person eats something from McDonald’s the other gets KO’D from a blow to the head. Someone should drop relatively quickly haha.

      I know that the other things you mention are bad too and I agree. But they can all be bad in their own right. I definitely don’t think fast food and micro plastics are healthy but just because they’re not doesn’t negate how bad blunt force head trauma is as well.
