She annoys the sh*t out of me. _She waves off microplastic as if it does not negatively affect the quality of life in the long run._

Just eat out of glass anyway and use an air fryer instead of a microwave. Gonna ignore everything this lady said and do the opposite.

there is absolutely zero substantiated evidence that microplastics have any long term effect whatsoever. literally zero.

I use aluminum-free deodorant, but only because I find that the normal ones stain the underarms of my shirts, and the aluminum-free ones don’t

You just want to avoid breathing in heated aluminium, I saw what happened in the Sheep aluminum armor test.

What does she do if she wants cancer after 50?
@palliaskamen5722
October 2, 2026 at 6:35 pm
Who is she? She doesn’t know what the word carcinogen means?
@vinniethescar
October 4, 2026 at 4:45 pm
If you used your listening skills you would hear her actually say what do carcinogens have to do with the bit of burnt pieces of meat. They aren’t ALL carcinogens, they may not even classify as so. HCAs and PAHs may not be carcinogens. Char and carbon are NOT carcinogens. But hey you got this right?

If you can turn on your radio or TV and get reception that means that time of radio waves are constantly streaming through your body 24/7, cell phones add very little to that.
@Revilogo

While what she said may be true NOW, it’s also important to note that what she’s said is based on the science AT THE CURRENT moment, subject to the limitations of today’s technology and knowledge. As science and the technology of analysis advances, it could very well be true that the ingestion of carcinogens and plastic breakdowns is NOT a good idea. Just because the harm done seems “negligible” today, it doesn’t mean that there’s no long term consequences of buildup and accumulation over time. That’s not an argument against science but merely an exposition of the nature of science development. It’s how human lifespan has increased steadily as we gain more knowledge and understanding of what is harmful, what can kill us and how it happens.

Inflammation causes cancer. How many of these things cause inflammation?
The same woman should now discuss how cancer has become so prevalent.

@kuso666
October 5, 2026 at 4:22 am
It’s ridiculous how she waves off harmful behavior like using plastic containers for food and drinks, or eating charred meat. Like it’s not 100% linked to cancer, so it’s OK, and ignoring all the proven negative effects on the human body.
@Nse204

@Nse204 are you asking her or me? 😀
@Nse204
October 5, 2026 at 1:12 pm
@kuso666 You, since you think she’s ridiculous.
@kuso666
October 5, 2026 at 2:03 pm
@Nse204 Exactly! I expect she is great in her field, but this tunnel vision can cause more harm than good. Reducing a massive, complex issue like the health and environmental impacts of plastics down to a single metric (whether or not it directly causes cancer in human clinical trials) is just ridiculous
@Nse204
October 5, 2026 at 2:31 pm
@kuso666 You have no relevant credentials yet rate your personal opinion more highly than a subject matter specialist.

I wonder if she styles herself? I like her look. She seems the type that tells intelluctual jokes that makes you think and after a few seconds of processing it, you laugh. I’m in love 🙃😉❤

Because every one of these examples is downplayed for cancer risk, she sounds like a lobbyist for carcinogen-producing companies. Maybe mix in some true carcinogens so this doesn’t sound biased.

A quote I read the other day sits with me.
“It takes a minute to lie, it takes an hour to debunk those lies.”
That’s the problem, misinformation is easy to let out, and some of our brightests minds are having to waste time to stop people believing them.
