@ChrisMasterjohn@JeffryGerberMD Look at the 100 person LMHR CTA cohort / not one has had a MACE episode. 4.5 years before study plus 3 during /after study That’s about 700 SAFE LMHR person years- 700 "safe" person-years with such high LDL is statistically "impossible" or highly anomalous.
@RadioFreeTom I didn’t know you could humiliate any lower after voting in a drooling psychopathic narcissist facist as the clown face of desperate victims of a plutocracy
I’m a chemist. And I need to say this - because it’s getting dangerous out there.
The biggest health myth in the world isn’t about vaccines. Or GMOs. Or fluoride.
It’s the root of all of them.
It’s called chemophobia - and it’s killing science.
Fear of “chemicals” now drives vaccine rejection, GMO bans, food hysteria, and entire political movements.
From tampons to tap water, people have been taught to fear chemistry - the very thing that keeps us alive.
Chemophobia tells us:
“Natural is good.”
“Synthetic is bad.”
That’s a lie.
Botulinum toxin is 100% natural and one of the deadliest molecules known.
Aspirin is synthetic and life-saving.
We’ve gone from banning harmful substances for good reason…to banning safe, well-tested molecules for emotional reasons.
You’ve seen the slogans:
“If you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it.”
“Paraben-free.”
“Clean beauty.”
They sound empowering. But they’re not science - they’re marketing.
And they’re making the world dumber, poorer, and sicker.
Your body doesn’t care if a molecule comes from a plant or a lab.
Vitamin C is vitamin C.
Formaldehyde is formaldehyde and your body makes more of it every day than any vaccine ever could.
Dose matters. Source doesn’t.
This fear isn’t harmless.
It shapes public policy.
It blocks innovation.
It raises food prices.
It slows down cancer treatments.
Chemophobia is now mainstream and it’s costing lives.
Scientists aren’t losing because we’re wrong.
We’re losing because fear spreads faster than facts.
Because influencers sell fear for clicks.
Because lawyers monetize doubt.
And because scientists are too tired to fight back.
So here’s my message, as a chemist and as a citizen:
🧪 Learn how toxicology works.
📣 Call out chemical fear-mongering.
✅ Support policies based on evidence, not emotion.
Chemistry isn’t the enemy.
It’s the reason you have clean water, safe food, and modern medicine.
If we let fear win, we lose all of it.
@drmarkhyman WORST: Always fit/never obese, put on statins 25y ago, retinal tear 10 y ago no one developed T2D & CAC score >>1000. ( no one checked for IR 😡)
BEST: found metabolic health docs, off all drugs, reducing CAC score, low carb diet, resistance exercise.
@Paddy_Barrett I have seen a paper that associates long term statin use with about 5-10% incidence of T2D . So assume that effect is rolled up into the gross outcome of NNT = 4 in the sense that T2D is by far the strongest driver of CVD.
@DrNadolsky Was religiously on statins for 20 years and ended up with CAC score in the thousands which was discovered through loss of stamina. More / higher dose statins were prescribed !?! Got off statins and onto LCD and slowly reducing CAC.
