  • The 2nd point in the blog post you present as a source is factually incorrect:

    1. Artificial sweeteners contribute to chronically high insulin.

    The link (bolded by me) in the following text

    One of the most commonly used artificial sweeteners in diet sodas, aspartame is particularly damaging to the brain.

    Goes to a page titled “Can Sugar Affect Your Cognitive Ability?”. They didn’t even link to the thing their text is claiming.

    How can you take this trash seriously?

    And personal anecdotes are absolutely worthless in discussions like this. Artificial sweeteners are consumed by a massive portion of the population. Any person who falls ill is likely to have consumed artifical sweeteners, so they will have incredible correlation with every disease on the planet.


  • The difference between “possibly cancerous” and “fully cancerous” is that the former is not confirmed to have the property of causing cancer.

    Radiation on the other hand is known to be carcinogenic.

    To use your analogy, we know that there are bacteria that cause infections and bacteria that are harmless to humans. Let’s say we have bacteria A that is known to cause infection but not always in everyone. Then we have a bacteria B, which is potentially able to cause infection. We don’t know for certain that it can, but we also don’t know that it can’t.

    And yes, it’s a pretty fucking useless designation, and WHO is wasting everyone’s time and causing undue panic. Let’s not forget how they completely fucked the world with their atrocious handing of Covid in the early stages of the outbreak.


  • Not cancerous whatsoever. It’s approved for use worldwide and it’s one of the most studied additives on the planet.

    It has been massively consumed worldwide for many decades, without causing any statistically noticeable increase in cancer rates.

    Considering the incredibly negative health impact of sugary drinks, artificial sweeteners probably prevented millions of deaths over the decades they have been used.

    Like the other “scary” “it causes cancer” studies, they probably stuffed a rat with its body weight of aspartame and when it developed cancer they figured it’s carcinogenic.

    Completely disregarding that a can of artificially sweetened coke will have less than 1g of aspartame, which is 0.0002% of average human’s bodyweight.






  • He never actually wanted to buy Twitter. He was just running his mouth to manipulate the market.

    Twitter called his bluff and took him to court. He tried to weasel out of it with various excuses (like there are too many bots) but it didn’t work. When he came close to having the court accessing his personal communications, he folded and bought Twitter.

    He massively overpaid for it compared to the already inflated market price, instantly losing many billions. Must have had some insanely illegal dirt in those communications for it to be worth it.

    So no, it wasn’t some machiavellian plan to disrupt public communications. Musk is just not a very smart greedy asshole.
