MD, anesthesiologist, grandfather in Ontario. Have been labelled a ‘believer in conspiracy theories’ by some who ‘have not taken the red pill’. Rudeness = block

[Radu Toma @SandmanRT]

@CanadianLifer @ontarioskeptic @JayGenXer 95% are unaware of mechanical tenderizing is true. ‘They’ does not refer to all of them, only those who eat it less than medium well: tartare, blue, rare, medium rare. There is no assumption on my part as to the related percentages, ie who eats it how. My wife eats it well done.

@markkaplan20 When I was 10, JFK was assassinated. 12-14 yr olds pointed to a terminally ill, Mafia-connected guy able to bring a gun to highly secured area, kill Oswald. Since then (!) I have been skeptical of official narratives, labelled ‘conspiracy theorist’. Statins real deal, yeah, sure!

@CaryKelly11 @Wiltster You have to make an exception to that rule for religious objections to eating pork.

@bgrice @SamaHoole @grok formula, customer is guilty if obese. If processed foods are the culprit, manufacturer is guilty and maybe sued too? Classic blame shifting.

[Radu Toma @SandmanRT]

@bgrice @SamaHoole @grok Ultra processed foods yes, they contain sugar to give them taste lost when they removed fats. Processed foods lead to eating more calories. ‘Sedentary lifestyles’ is mainly a red herring thrown in to absolve processed foods. As long as ‘calories and exercise’ are the stay-thin

[Radu Toma @SandmanRT]

@bgrice @SamaHoole @grok Official diet guidelines are a joke. Disbetes, obesity all took off when governments started to tell us what to eat, around mid 70’s. Harvard ublishes research that meat causes diabetes! Medical associations’ seal of approval have filled me full of trans fats when I was young.

[Radu Toma @SandmanRT]

@bgrice @SamaHoole @grok Grok says largely correct and replies are nitpicking! Not polite nitpicking either. Some of you owe @SamaHoole an apology

[Radu Toma @SandmanRT]

@bgrice @SamaHoole @grok Grok relented
BTW: mainstream medicine is quite far from rigorous science, too much under the thumb of industry and Pharma. It took me many years to reach this conclusion (my MD was 1978).

@bgrice @SamaHoole @Grok are there any significant inaccuracies in the lead post of this thread?

[Radu Toma @SandmanRT]

@PresiNotSure @flagontheplay25 @SamaHoole Grok says there are no inaccuracies in Sama’s post and an old physician (myself) agrees. I added Grok’s authority in case you did not believe me

@GuySmith1713057 @nebweber @Marion436842126 Statins a cog in $10+ trillion a year Big Food/Agra, focused on ‘healthy’ vegan (processed) foods. Anti (red) meat, aims for food supply control. If statins were debunked like Alzheimer’s amyloid theory, whole ‘saturated fat is bad’ house of cards could collapse. High $$ stakes.

@simoncwrightson @SamaHoole My mother-in-law was from Yorkshire. I went to UK to meet my wife’s family and had roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and thought the pudding was bland, tasteless dough. The real thing sounds a lot more appealing.

[Radu Toma @SandmanRT]

@GuySmith1713057 @SharylAttkisson Not too many get taken off statins by their doctors. Most I know or heard of did it themselves.

[Radu Toma @SandmanRT]

@rgpinrr @SharylAttkisson @grok @MohammedAlo Medicine is all about risk/reward ratio for any therapy. Aspirin is not very dangerous, but if millions take it to prevent cardiac event and it does not, then any complication is one too many. Ask about risk vs benefit. Are statins like ASA above? Then no good.

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

Things modern medicine has been certain about, in chronological order, since 1900:

- That cigarettes were healthy.
- That margarine was healthy.
- That asbestos was inert.
- That lead in petrol was inert.
- That thalidomide was safe in pregnancy.
- That radium was a tonic.
- That DDT was safe to spray on children.
- That lobotomies cured depression.
- That morphine was non-addictive.
- That OxyContin was non-addictive.
- That mercury in dental fillings was inert.
- That cholesterol caused heart disease.
- That saturated fat caused heart disease.
- That eggs caused heart disease.
- That red meat caused cancer.
- That seed oils were heart-healthy.

Modern medicine has, in each case, eventually been forced to reverse the previous certainty.

It has not, in any of the above cases, apologised.

The certainty was, in each case, supported by the published consensus of the time.

The consensus of the time was, in each case, wrong.

The certainty currently in force, on the same model, is, on a longer view, statistically very unlikely to be entirely right.

The doctor reading the next reversal, in 2045, will be the one prescribing the current consensus today.

He will not call you.

He will not write to apologise.

He will, in most cases, have retired by the time the reversal is published.

The reversal will be in the journals.

The damage will be in the patients.

The patients, by then, will be your children.

Begin reading the journals yourself.

@CanadianLifer @ontarioskeptic @JayGenXer 95% of the Costco steak buyers are unaware of the mechanically tenderized detail even though it’s on the label in small print. They proceed to eat it rare, endangering their health. Fact, I talked to many.

[Radu Toma @SandmanRT]

@TheRealKPShawe @ClimatePNowak @Electroversenet Al Gore retired as VP USA with net worth ~ 2 million, now 300-330 million. Spreading climate gloom and doom and several (proven) false predictions (of what will happen by fixed date) does pay in spades, for him

[Radu Toma @SandmanRT]

@robinmonotti CO2 on submarines 5000-8000 ppm for months. Much higher for short periods. No such thing as ‘greenhouse workers’ disease’ from elevated CO2.

@Diver_Flemming @AndrewNutter5 @Slat_fag @robinmonotti @Electroversenet These are the two principal bureaucrats in charge of international climate policy. I could not believe they would actually say this but AI verified the statements are genuine. For the record.

@Marion436842126 My long-standing periodontal issues cleared up considerably after ditching a lot of carbs. Not sugar, just carbs as in bread, pasta, pizza, potatoes.

@class_age @PeteSanford That’s exactly what Gates and his ilk want in their anti-red meat agenda.
