In 1870, a German chemist named Erich von Wolf was analysing the iron content of various vegetables.
He made a decimal point error.
He recorded spinach as containing 35mg of iron per 100g. The correct figure was 3.5mg. The misplaced decimal sat in the nutritional literature for decades, entirely unchallenged, because nobody particularly felt like re-testing spinach.
In 1929, the Popeye comic strip launched. The creators cited the iron content of spinach as the scientific basis for their character's powers. By this point, the decimal point error was already sixty years old and fully embedded in received nutritional wisdom.
The error was identified and corrected in 1937. The correction was not issued with anything approaching the cultural reach of the original claim.
Popeye continued punching things.
The actual iron content of spinach, 3.5mg per 100g, roughly where it was always supposed to be, is further complicated by the fact that spinach is among the highest-oxalate vegetables known.
Oxalates bind to iron and calcium in the gut and remove them before absorption. The iron in spinach absorbs at around 1–2%, compared to 15–35% for haem iron from red meat. You would need to eat roughly a kilogram of spinach to absorb the iron equivalent of a 100g beef steak.
There is also the kidney stone question. Spinach contains around 970mg of oxalates per 100g: one of the densest plant sources. Chronic high spinach consumption, particularly raw in daily smoothies, is a documented pathway to calcium oxalate kidney stones.
The smoothie industry has not issued a correction.
Popeye is still a sailor.
The public has a distorted view of science, because children are taught in school that science is a collection of firmly established truths. In fact, science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries.

The Chiefs continue to make changes to the offensive coaching staff with two more assistants departing, including one who worked very closely with Andy Reid.

Twenty years ago in 2005, Aaron Rodgers played the second half of a Monday Night Football game in which Deion Sanders had an interception earlier that night.
Twenty years later, Aaron Rodgers will start in a game in which Deion’s son, Shedeur Sanders, will be the Browns starting QB.
@Chiefs Broncos are building their own stadium.
Titans are building a new one next to their old one.
Bills new stadium opens next season.
Clark Hunt begs fans to pay for the new one while providing an awful season and decides to turn his back on the fanbase that built the Chiefs dynasty.
Andrew Huberman tells Bill Maher that his good friend, a chair of neurosurgery and possibly one of the greatest neurosurgeons in history, told him that "more than half" of the information in medical textbooks today is flat out false.
"Biopsies Spread Cancer...Biopsies Are The Kiss Of Death. The Needle Punches A Hole In The Tumor, Dragging Cancer Cells & Spreading Them."
Dr Ben Johnson
Doctors Finally Admit That The Very Test Being Pushed On Patients Is Causing Cancer To Metastasize All Throughout The Body.
The body self-contains a tumor within a fibrin sheath. A needle biopsy breaks the seal of the tumor that kept it contained & allows the pathogenic toxins &/or parasites to be unleashed.
When a hornet's nest is poked, it doesn't calm the hive...it angers & scatters. That’s what happens when a needle pierces a tumor. Cancer cells are dragged into new territory, inflammation flares, the immune system gets distracted, and the “nest” gets angrier.
Cells are dragged along the needle tract. Local inflammation activates tumor growth. The immune system is suppressed & cancer cells invade tissue, blood & lymph.
Biopsies trigger metastasis, inflammation & tumor seeding:
"Biopsy of primary tumors resulted in significantly increased incidence & number of lung metastasis."(PMID 25061543)
"Biopsies promote intraperitoneal tumor dissemination & progression." (PMID 23258276)
"Core needle biopsy of breast tumors increases distant metastases. (PMID 25425969)
"Biopsies lead to tumor cell dissemination & seeding of malignant tumors." (PMID 22686607)
"Human breast cancer biopsies enhance adjacent cancer cell proliferation." (PMID 27249999)
Top Doctors Are Now Admitting 'That Standard Of Care' Is Killing Patients:
"Manipulation of an intact tumor...is associated with an increase in the incidence of sentinel node metastasis." (John Wayne Cancer Institute 2022)
"Cutting out a section...endangered the person's life by aggravating the malignant growth." (Dr Perry Nichols)
"Biopsies spread early cancers." (Dr Jonathan Wright)
"Biopsies introduce cancer cells into the bloodstream." (Dr Leonard Gomella)
"Biopsies cause cancer cells to spread & the risk is higher in certain types of cancers like prostate & kidney cancers." (Dr Hal Schofield)
"Biopsies cause cancer to disseminate further into the body & this has serious implications to patient outcomes." (Dr Robert Nagourney)
Alternative Tests That Do Not Disturb Fibrin Sheath Of The Encapsulated Tumor:
1⃣ Multiparametric MRI (pmMRI): Non-invasive. No ionizing radiation. Detects structure & function in high resolution.
2⃣ Color Doppler Ultrasound: Maps tumor blood flow in real time. No radiation. No compression damage.
3⃣ Liquid Biopsy (ctDNA /CTC Testing): Blood test for cancer DNA or cells. No mechanical disruption of tumors.
4⃣ Thermography: Non-radiation, non-invasive technique that uses infrared cameras to detect heat patterns in tumors.
Information is anti-fear. Knowledge is power. It gives you choices. It gives you power. If you’ve been diagnosed, please don’t rush. Research. Ask questions. Trust your intuition. Sometimes slowing down is the most urgent thing you can do.
The cancer industrial complex is a powerful profit model & needs a massive overhaul. Too many patients blindly walk into these procedures without informed consent, never being told the risks.
You can choose to not disturb the tumor at all & instead implement a protocol to shrink & enable the body to eradicate the tumor all together. Many cases of cancer tumors are actually parasitic eggs sacs misdiagnosed as cancer.
There are ways to diagnose cancer without the risk of spread & acceleration. And ways to prevent & treat cancer without the harm of Chemotherapy & Radiation.
There is a groundbreaking protocol by Dr William Makis, Dr Paul Marik & others that uses Ivermectin, Fenbendazole, Methylene Blue, Fasting, Ketogenic Diet & other proven cancer remission strategies that addresses cancer & parasites simultaneously.

"What was considered acceptable cholesterol in 1960 was 300, then 240, then 200."
"Every time they lower that number, another 50 million Americans need drugs. That's not medicine. That's marketing."
"For every 1,000 healthy people who take statins, they prevent exactly one heart attack. The other 999 just get side effects."
"When researchers studied people over the age of 60, those with higher cholesterol lived longer. Not shorter, longer."
"But your conventional doctor doesn't know this because... the very guidelines they follow are written by Big Pharma."

@BlazedBrak@Weather2020@glezak I need to ask @glezak what the upper Texas coast will have the 2nd week of September. I have the Weather2020 free app downloaded, but can't afford the monthly fees for the proper use of it.
