On a related note, I still can’t figure out why there is so much insane dietary stuff on the Internet.
Some of it is probably that it isn’t just the Internet. The 1800s had some pretty bonkers stuff in the US. The Internet just makes it visible to me. But there’s still an insane amount of people promoting things on incredibly thin evidence that seem to get remarkable uptake.
There are also some other medicine-adjacent fields, like electromagnetic radiation, that have some crazy stuff.
Sounds plausible.
