    It spread because of one or two early studies with falsified data.

    Personally, I wish this stuff were more lethal with prolonged usage. I think two people have died, but maybe people would think twice about believing social media if the risk were greater. And if they didn’t, well, it’s probably good for the survival of the species.

      I have a friend whose mother took a LOT of it and permanently fucked up her heart and liver. Can’t walk more than 25 feet without getting winded. They have to periodically search her cabinets because she still believes that idiocy and tries to take it if she can find it.

          Why do you think they’re being told to have so damn many kids? Work hard, breed fast, vote Republican, die young, repeat.

      It quite literally becomes neurotoxic if used frequently/in high enough dosage. The idiots are poisoning their brains
