They're generalizing and sweeping again; perhaps they should reread the topic and actually say something about it.

Health is the most precious thing a person can have.
If they daydream and ignore reality and the laws of nature, they alone will bear the consequences of their actions or inaction.

In short, most people are simply too stupid and ignorant, they eat whatever is put in front of them, and when they get sick, they expect society to foot the bill. It is precisely those who are arrogant who make it very easy for the ruling poisoners.

 

Don't drink water. Fish fucks in it!

 

Allegedly, lead is present in their headphones, and Beyerdynamic is required to list it on the packaging to sell them in California (USA). Whether California is right about this, no one here in Germany can confirm.

Perhaps one should send their headphones to a lab to have them tested for harmful substances.

In America, someone dried their poodle (dog) in the microwave and sued the company; since then, microwave ovens have a warning label not to dry animals in them.

 

I have to mix on headphones. If I didn't, my neighbours would kill me.

Come on, @Kate Middleton, you can do so much better than that. You're embarrassing the whole palace. I think you went to school and are proficient in both spoken and written language. Your main point is about as banal as it gets. A question for you: do you feel that the music industry equipment you use has a harmful effect on your health? Can you imagine that your monitors are emitting harmful chemicals?

 

I don't want to go off-topic too much, but this is largely considered to be false. Here's a blog post from Michelle Wong, a science popularizer who's very famous in the cosmetics community for her reliable information, explaining the current evidence and consensus : https://labmuffin.com/should-you-avoid-aluminium-in-deodorants-the-science/

It's VERY important to follow the scientific hierarchy of evidence, and to avoid the noise from Facebook groups and Tiktok fear mongerers, especially when it comes to medical topics.

 

In my irrational fear, I decided to pull the trigger on these, I hear they're the bomb....



I'll see my way out now

 

I've never used Facebook or TikTok, but rest assured, aluminum is dangerous when it enters the body. This is especially true for deodorants, where it's a well-established fact. Please don't believe industry-funded journalists or studies.

Recommended Limit for Aluminum

Spoiler

Even though the aluminum in antiperspirants is applied externally, a small amount can still be absorbed into the body. Aluminum can accumulate in the body and have negative effects on the kidneys, bones, and nerves. Therefore, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has established a tolerable weekly intake of 1 milligram per kilogram of body weight. Other health effects have also been discussed, such as whether excessive aluminum intake could promote breast cancer or Alzheimer's disease. However, according to recent evaluations by the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), there is no reliable data to support this.

Consumers ingest aluminum through food and drinking water, as well as from other products such as food packaging, lipsticks, and aluminum-containing antiperspirants.

Aluminum salts can be found on the ingredient list of antiperspirants, for example, under the term aluminum chlorohydrate.

No Complete Abstention Necessary

Do you have to completely avoid aluminum-containing deodorants? No. The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) has determined: "The contribution of aluminum-containing antiperspirants to the total intake of aluminum is significantly lower than previously assumed. This has been shown in new studies. Therefore, adverse health effects from their regular use are unlikely," says Ariane Lenzner, a toxicologist at the BfR. Nevertheless, one should not ingest too much aluminum overall. "Anyone who already knows that they won't sweat much during the day could forgo an antiperspirant on that day," the expert suggests. A deodorant without aluminum salts might also suffice.

Yes it's all a matter of doses. The amount in antiperspirant is controlled (around 10% according to European regulations), and is considered to be safe with regular use. Of course, if you EAT your entire antiperspirant bottle in one go, you might have a problem there.

It's the same story with this study about headphones and bisphenols. The researchers themselves say that the doses were low, and only talked about a potential danger through a "cocktail effect" which they didn't study. So from my understanding, without having access to this study behind its paywall, is that it is inconclusive.

 

dont shower in water its whiskey! dont breathe its smoke. dont fly on a plane its radiation up there and Dont eat anything its causing cancer. hahahahahahahah

 

You kidding me?? Come take a look at my boobs! Almost size D now, since I started working on my EDM, using only headphones!

 

that is a scary question.. and i think no. the synths are all safe to use.. however lets not talk about such topics they are scary

 

Instantly skeptical. A known boogeyman often employed by you-know-who.

 

Would like to be clear about this, thats not my quote. That's directly from the Music radar article that I posted, for anyone that is either confused or didn't bother clicking the link to the article. I already stated how I felt about it in my reply to @1176f

Adiposity / physical inactivity, rise of diabetes is probably the biggest factor in declining testosterone levels or so I'm being told anyway.

 

"But they mimic the action of oestrogen inside organisms, and cause a range of effects including feminisation of males, early onset of puberty in girls, and cancer."


no they don't. this is what I generally hate about how health is communicated these days.

nobody is willing to do their due diligence and understand the entire context around things like EDC's "forever chemicals, microplastics and nanoplastics. the studies that have made most of these conclusions are to put it simply, trash, and do not reflect the reality of the intake or exposure in humans. there is about a million regulatory things involved in aromatase increase in males that EDC's simply cannot overcome unless there is context for them to do so(obesity being the big one for obvious reasons). you don't just introduce something to your organism and suddenly all that regulatory capacity falls to shit. just because EDC's can make it past HSP's in vitro or in specifically designed rodent models does not mean that has any crossover with humans.

Like people tend to forget, but it needs to be pointed out regularly. correlation is not causation, and human health is an emergent system with a well defined hierarchy. virtually no studies on MP's, NP's, EDC's, FC's respect any of this and the more appreciable ones have mechanistic flaws out the wazoo but still make the same unsubstantiated claims that are inundated in this scientific field. so therefore, whilst their conclusions are mechanistically interesting for people in the research fields who want to circle-jerk each other about the findings, they are not an imminent threat to human health no matter how much research normies like Rhonda Patrick/social media health influencers, and scientifically illiterate social activist groups claim otherwise. almost a century of use and there is still no percentage of baseline risk, relative risk, exposure thresholds, and no dose curve exposure for human health. you can get all conspiratorial and claim that Big Plastic and Big Polymer is silencing this kind of research, but somebody at some point in time and especially the people who like to make the most scary claims would have worked this out by now, and they haven't, so what does that tell you

If you want to do something about these things then lobby governments. just know that by doing so and if they go along with it, you are going to make everything exponentially more expensive. do you have any idea how deeply engrained plastic and polymer manufacture is embedded into the worlds economy? if you suddenly ripped the rug from under yourself with that overnight, you might get your projected health utopia, but you'd also be ushering in worldwide austerity to boot. who do you think is coughing up the price difference at the end of the day? you, the consumer, and what do you think happens when people buy less of these things because they can't afford them anymore?..exactly

Just sayin. think before you get your wish

FYI. if you are going to read papers on EDC's, MP's and NP's, make sure you read the materials and methods section before you read anything else in the study. this isn't mentioned in the abstract or the discussion section as that is just where the study group pontificates about the findings and makes grandiose health claims that they like to correlate with humans, as it means they potentially get more grant money or at least drum up more interest (health sciences is just a massive you scratch by back i scratch yours scenario) which is why they end up in things like The Guardian. do you honestly think a tabloid rag is diligently going over the details of a study combing it for mechanistic flaws..lolz

 

Where do microplastics occur and how do humans ingest them?

Spoiler

Microplastics have been detected in all regions and ecosystems of the Earth. They are also found in numerous foods, beverages, and in many human and animal organs and tissues.

Since microplastics are almost ubiquitous in the environment, humans are exposed to them through the air they breathe, as well as through the food and beverages they consume. Ingestion occurs both through the lungs via inhalation of microplastic particles and through the gastrointestinal tract via oral ingestion. According to current knowledge, absorption through the skin generally plays a negligible role.

The absorption and distribution within the human body depend on the size, chemical composition, shape, surface charge, and water and fat solubility of the microplastic particles. Generally speaking, small, water-insoluble particles penetrate biological membranes particularly easily and can thus be absorbed into cells, for example. However, the exact amount of microplastics ingested by humans remains unclear.

This is due, firstly, to a lack of reliable exposure data: the reported concentrations of microplastics in the air, water, beverages, and food vary considerably. It is therefore unclear to what extent humans are typically exposed to microplastic particles. Secondly, current knowledge about the absorption and excretion of microplastic particles in the human body is also limited.

Although numerous scientific studies in recent years have intensively investigated the issues of exposure, absorption, and retention in the body, many questions remain unanswered. One key finding, however, is that microplastics are now detectable in almost all human organs and tissues.
