Suicide more than Homicide

One thing that is consistent around the world is you're more likely to die from suicide and homicide. This is true regardless of what part of the world you live in. Usually you're statistically twice as likely to die from suicide than murder or manslaughter. 


After looking through some notible sources 50
Facts that should change the world by Jessica Williams and various world health organisation reports, suicide is one of the most common causes of death. 

In young people 15 to 29 years old , suicide is the leading cause of death. This is because young people don't usually die from heart disease or cancer. 

It is hard to clarify the exact rate because it varies by country, gender and age group but most sources agree that more the one percent of deaths world wide are from suicide. That's one in one hundred people.

That's Nuts

One of the Main reasons nut allergies are more common than the other types is because the proteins in nuts are remarkably resilient, they can persist even after passing through stomach acid and they spend much more time in the body. The more time a protein persists in the body the more likely your immune system will recognise it as a threat.

Many nuts contain proteins called 'ARA H1', 'ARA H2', and 'ARA H3' and other proteins  with a similar tough structure. These proteins are remarkably though compared to other proteins and can persist in the human body for a very long time.
