Of late, I have become a bit wary of products that contain various thickeners and emulsifiers. I don't think those are good for the intestine.
I eat real cheese, and real mayonnaise. Avoid "fake meat" with methyl-cellulose in it.

The mixed starch stuff are currently not very good.

The "REAL" vegan cheeses like cashew blue cheese, fermented using real bacterial cultures are better than than milk cheese.

I recognized many years ago that removing milkfat from any dairy product ruins it.

Some of those artificial "cheese-like substances" are tolerable, but they are certainly not cheese.

Interesting. The countries to the right, with the highest consumption, are where the mutation that lets people digest lactose first appeared.

The USA is heavily racially mixed by comparison to most national populations; ordinarily I'd expect it to be about average. Its position at the top is probably due to the horrific amount of chemicals and processing common in American "food" products.

Both prostate and breast cancer are "Hormone" dependent cancers.

Cows today are kept persistently pregnant while they're milked, so you get a "Mega dose" of animal hormones.

It's also the leading cause of man-bewbs, if you go to America, go to what's known as Costco, Most of the middle age+ guys there have man-bewbs. If you head out to the "southern" or "middle" American states, their man-bewbs are enormous, bigger than womens.

ANY type of animal agriculture from ANY country, is a horrific amount of chemicals.

70%-80% of antibiotics produced by USA is FED to Animals. Factory farming is an extremely DIRTY business, it's basically eating out of a toilet. What is a big warehouse of 1000s of animals, that poop and pee in place for years at a time. IT'S A TOILET. If they weren't fed those antibiotics, they wouldn't survive, that's how dirty it is.

A nice pizza place in my a city has vegan fresh mozzarella and it's honestly pretty good. No idea what it's made of though and I don't see any similar products in stores near me.

Miyoko's creamery has some magic stuff, but they're not sold everywhere. They got this liquid mozzarella that turns into solid after you cook it.

I've noticed gluten-free and vegan mac n cheese does cost more. Like Annie's is literally 2x the price vs the standard ones.
