🚨 The raw milk trend is getting people killed. A Florida woman lost her baby and nearly died after being infected by E. coli traced to raw milk from a local dairy. She didn’t even drink it — she just cared for her sick toddler who did. This isn’t a one-off. Florida’s Department of Health has linked 21 illnesses to that same raw milk since January, including multiple kids. Let’s be clear: 🥛 Pasteurization isn’t some evil “chemical” process. It’s literally just heating milk enough to kill bacteria like E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella. The worst thing pasteurization does is reduce some vitamin content of milk (PMID: 22054181) but most of these vitamins were relatively low to begin with & if you are worried just take a multi-vitamin… it’s not worth potentially freaking dying People claiming “raw milk is healthier” are ignoring decades of research showing no proven health benefit—just a much higher risk of foodborne illness, miscarriage, and even death. Even the FDA and CDC have been warning about this for years (PMIDs: 27340300). Raw milk is NOT a health food… it’s a possible death food. And now you have raw food advocates talking about heating raw milk to kill bacteria… which is literally pasteurization but they are too stupid and ignorant of the process to realize it. At this point, maybe we should chalk this up to natural selection for people stupid enough to do it… but just because you are an idiot doesn’t mean you should put your kids in harms way

Does red meat cause cancer or is it that people who eat more meat tend to eat less fiber?

Diet soda makes you fat because it has chemicals that your body doesn’t know how to ‘process’? 🤣 Actually diet soda sweetened with say aspartame is processed into aspartate and phenylalanine (2 amino acids found in every source of protein & in way higher amounts) and methanol 😱. Before yall get your panties in a twist, the amount of methanol produced by diet sodas relative to what would cause issues would mean you’d need to drink approx 20,000 12 oz cans of Diet Coke to cause problems. And no, methanol does not accumulate in the body & it is metabolized by the liver & excreted by the kidneys. You’d die of fluid toxicity before you’d ever even come close to the level of methanol needed to cause any issues from drinking diet soda 🤷🏼♂️ So yea, our body knows what to do with it. But her claim doesn’t even make sense. If the body didn’t know what to do with it, how would it get stored as fat? And WHAT would get stored as fat? Which ‘chemicals’ and HOW EXACTLY THROUGH WHAT MECHANISM? 🤣 Maybe she’d say they cause insulin release which makes you fat… only one problem with that… they conclusively DO NOT increase insulin (PMID: 36839408) And diet drinks do NOT make you fat. In fact, in the HUMAN. RANDOMIZED. CONTROLLED. TRIALS where they have people drink diet drinks in place of regular sugar sweetened beverages, people lose weight, & in several studies they actually lose more weight than people who substituted water 🤷🏼♂️ (PMIDs: 37794246, 37475684, 26708700, & 35285920) I’m not saying you should drink diet soda in place of water. What I’m saying is for many people, diet drinks help them stop drinking regular soda, which in turn helps them lose weight, & get healthier If we fear monger this useful tool, it confuses people & the unintended consequence is many people takeaway not that they will drink more water, but they should not drink diet soda so they might as well continue drinking regular soda since diet soda is portrayed as just as bad by these influencers Also no one tell this gal water has dihydrogen monoxide 🤣. I don’t know her name… y’all tag her 🤷🏼♂️ DATA>feelings

Well these comments didn’t age well… Almost a decade later, 44 years old and still not in a wheelchair like they said I’d be 🤷🏼♂️ The human body is resilient, especially when you understand evidence based pain management and injury recovery Look forward to these folks giving me more motivation for the next decade

Y’all freak out about seed oils & fructose but saturated fat is way worse for liver when compared straight up 👀 PMIDS: 31369090, 24550191, & 20483648 Inb4 Paul Saladino, MD quotes a rodent study or some random book in a library in Germany no one has ever read 😂

This is the MOST HEATED I’VE EVER BEEN ON A VIDEO 😤 “Calories in calories out doesn’t work for everyone!” YES IT F***ING DOES! STOP DISEMPOWERING PEOPLE! This segment on Oprah Winfrey made me absolutely heated. First off let’s get rid of this idea that calories in calories out doesn’t work for obese people. ABSOLUTE NONSENSE. When obese people eat in a calorie deficit THEY LOSE WEIGHT IN THE HUMAN RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIALS (PMIDs: 28329121, 2407096, & 26775902) Obese people do NOT have slower metabolisms than lean people when equated for BMR (if anything they are slightly faster). This is true for women & men & those who are obese with & without Type 2 diabetes ) (PMID: 1556954, 18223609, & 26838741) Now I’m NOT saying obesity is all the fault of the individual. It is not. Research shows that women who are obese have a 50% greater rate of past sexual assault trauma (PMID: 17606550) Moreover if calories in calories out didn’t work how do you explain semiglutide results and GLP-1 mimetics? They do NOT increase metabolic rate. Their effect is on APPETITE! Telling someone that calories in vs calories out doesn’t work for them might make their ego feel better in the short term but you are DISEMPOWERING THESE PEOPLE! They hear this and think “even if I try it won’t work.” BULLSHIT. Weight loss in the long term is hard. But hard is NOT the same thing as impossible. Please explain people like Ethan Suplee who lost over 300 lbs and kept if off?! STOP with these doctors and psychologists talking about sh*t they have no clue about! It’s ABSURD!

We know creatine is awesome for muscles and performance, but it’s also good for your brain 🧠 A new study showed acute improvements in cognitive function from just a single high dose of creatine monohydrate Also… it doesn’t harm your liver It doesn’t harm your kidneys There’s no evidence it causes hair loss It doesn’t cause subcutaneous water retention For some people it can cause GI irritation. For these folks, doing multiple smaller doses throughout the day rather than a single dose may help Creatine is the most effective, tested, safe supplement on the market today 🤷🏼♂️

Don’t drink Celsius energy drinks because they have cyanide! 🤣 Most health influencers like Gary Brecka do NOT read studies. They also don’t have any concept of dosage & they don’t seem to be able to do math Recently Gary has said not to drink Celsius energy drink because it has cyanide (CN), he’s referring to cyanocobalamin which is the synthetic form of vitamin b12. He’s also said not to use synthetic B12 for this reason HILARIOUS. 1st, Gary doesn’t seem to understand that molecular bonded CN is NOT the same thing as free hydrogen cyanide. The CN molecule in Cyanocobalamin is converted to thiocyanate & excreted in the urine But just for sh*ts & giggles let’s assume it became free CN. How much would it take to cause harm? All if takes is some basic freaking math Gary For an 80kg person it takes about 120mg of free CN, the molecular weight of which is 26g/mol while Cyanocobalamin is 1355g/mol meaning it’s only 1.9% of the total weight of synthetic B12 So how much is in Celsius? 6mcg. Which is 0.006mg of Cyanocobalamin. Since only 1.9% of it is the CN molecule that means Celsius contains 0.000114mg of molecularly bonded CN. 120mg (toxic dose) / 0.000114 = 1,052,631 cans of Celsius needed to hit toxic dose STAY IN SCHOOL KIDS 🤷🏼♂️ And again, this is molecularly bonded CN which is NOT toxic. But even if it was, it wouldn’t matter because our bodies can actually metabolize & excrete amounts of free CN FAR beyond this. It does NOT accumulate over time People like Gary don’t care about the truth, just sound bites. But no one bothers to fact check them Just look at Robert Lustig MD on the Huberman Lab podcast. He said a study showed people who drank cola gained 10kg in 6 mo, & people who drank diet cola gained 2kg, but people who drank water & whole milk had far better results. I looked up the study (PMID: 22205311) & the study showed NO DIFFERENCE between any of the groups in fat gain/loss. He either made it up or just repeated something someone else told him without reading it. Of the MILLIONS of people who listened to that podcast I was the ONLY person who looked it up! 🤷🏼♂️
