Would absolutely agree from a personal experience viewpoint. Live in Eastern Spain, two days ago the max temp was 25°C, today it was 12°C. Gotta love climate change.

Well, when I said free, I of course meant paid through taxes that are adjusted to your income level. Here in Spain your public healthcare quality won't change depending on if you make €1000 or €4000. You won't be put on top of a m

Because here in Western Europe, our healthcare doesn't depend on your job/income. Plus, I've found that on average Americans are more health anxious (for example, if I search in Google Spain in Spanish "I just accidently

Yeah right but the obesity increase is mostly correlated all around the world and here with the increased consumption of "junk food", i.e. highly processed and very high in sugar, not with olive oil consumption, so...

Diet is not everything in the equation and we already have the highest life expectancy in Europe, so we're already "high enough". Also things like eliminating pollution from especially cities have become hot topics recently a

As someone from Spain, a place that's soon gonna have the highest life expectancy in the world, yeah we're not removing olive oil from about 50% of the "core" dishes that we regularly eat. Sources: https://www

Why are people all of a sudden posting medical news on HN from one or two years ago?

by Escolte 8y ago
Nope, but Aspirin, Ibuprofen and Paracetamol yes, since they are considered "staple" medicine.

I was prescribed to take Naproxen, another NSAID with potentially the same harmful effects as Ibuprofen, for two weeks three times a day half a dose. I'm from Spain. But IDK. Let me reiterate that everyone all around the world uses Ibu

I also wonder why for example the Chinese or heck the Cubans didn't discover this before, who have less of a corporate interest. Ibuprofen (And Naproxen, etc...) is one of the most common drugs all around the world. I think most people

This is why I hate reading these type of posts on HN. Especially like in this case where there's still a lot to be researched on and to drawn conclusions from, and the outlook isn't positive. My recommendation is to go and talk to

Ibuprofen, as far as I am given to understand, is one of the most common drugs all around the world. Why didn't anyone notice before now, I wonder?
