[–] -3 points 6 months ago (5 children)

Article in the guardian, and elsewhere a couple years ago. It's not a secret, the problems with some of these emulsifiers. In fact it's common knowledge to those of us whose heads are not inside the asses of billionaires which may not include you admittedly. No offense.

    An article in the guardian is not a resoundingly strong source, particularly given how news sources like to report health topics.

    If you look at any of the reviewed research by academics, it's pretty clear it's something they want to look at more, but it's hardly a definitive "horrible for you" or destroying the blood brain barrier.
    In one study they only let mice drink emulsified water, and then gave them a food substance they were allergic to. This resulted in an increase in diarrhea.

    If you're going to cite the guardian and "common knowledge" as your source, you might hold off on the "head in ass" accusations.

    More of a source than an internet rando, and it's published in many places, look it up, or don't.

    I did, obviously. Why do you think I was telling you what they said?

    Here's the one with the mouse diarrhea.

    Why would I click on your link when you haven't even described what it is supposedly refuting, you just gave a blanket ignorant statement that emulsifiers do not cause damage to the human body which is just not fucking true. So it would seem talking to you as a complete waste of time.

    That was literally in my comment.

    Not what I said. Try reading again. Hint: I objected to you saying something was definitive and "destroyed the blood brain barrier" when they're at the point of "this might be a thing that's relevant and we need more research".

    which is just not fucking true

    ... According to a random article in the guardian, and "common knowledge". News agencies are notoriously bad at reporting science and health news, and without evidence "common knowledge" is just a rumor.

    The link I shared is a typical piece of research on the topic. It's not intended to "refute" anything. You'll not that their conclusion is "we should probably check on this more" because humans aren't mice and they don't consume emulsifiers the way they do in lab studies.
