A heart surgeon has revealed how damaging certain \u201cunhealthy habits\u201d<\/p>\n
are, rating them on a scale of 1 to 10. Dr. Jeremy London, sharing a TikTok video,<\/p>\n
was asked by his son how harmful various substances are.<\/p>\n
On marijuana, he said: \u201cI\u2019ll give that one an eight.<\/p>\n
Chronic use increases cardiovascular risk.<\/p>\n
People think it\u2019s natural, so it must be safe\u2014but it\u2019s not.\u201d<\/p>\n
Smoking marijuana has been linked to lung damage, bronchitis,<\/p>\n
scarring of small blood vessels, stroke, heart disease,<\/p>\n
and even an increased risk of schizophrenia.<\/p>\n
Long-term use can also affect memory, attention, and learning.<\/p>\n
Alcohol, according to Dr. London, scores a 10\/10:<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s toxic to every cell in the body. No amount is truly safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cancer Research UK notes alcohol metabolizes into acetaldehyde,<\/p>\n
which damages cells and impairs repair,<\/p>\n
raising risks for breast, bowel, liver, and several throat cancers.<\/p>\n
Dr. London also highlighted everyday risks,<\/p>\n
rating processed meats and<\/p>\n
plastic chopping boards a five.<\/p>\n
Regular plastic board use may expose users to microplastics,<\/p>\n
potentially affecting fertility, endocrine function,<\/p>\n
and cardiovascular health, while wooden boards are safer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
