Bovaer is being added to BEEF and MILK because it is thought to prevent climate change.

This is based on woke science.

The truth is, it might harm your health in many ways.

I’ll explain. Image
Image
First, I need to give you some background on how Bovaer was originally made.

And how it is NOW being added to BEEF and MILK.

Bovaer is a new feed additive or new animal drug.

It's made by DSM-firmenich.

The major shareholder is Blackrock.

Why was it made?

The idea started in 2006.

When the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) published a report titled:

'Livestock's Long Shadow.'

That report focused heavily on methane and climate change.

The problem?

It was totally flawed. Image
The report claimed that livestock causes 18% of the world's greenhouse gases.

But that was wrong!

Dr. Frank Mitloehner (UC Davis Air Quality Specialist Dept. Animal Science) highlighted the report's problems.

And the FAO eventually admitted he was right. Image
Image
Dr. Mitloehner's points:

• FAO's claim of 18% emissions for livestock (more than transport) was flawed.

• The report only included tailpipe emissions for transport.

• The calculation for livestock included everything (land use, feed, etc.)

But that's not all he said. Image
Image
Dr. Mitloehner also said:

Methane emitted by livestock is part of the biogenic carbon cycle, a natural process.

And:

Livestock numbers remain stable and have done so since the PRE-EUROPEAN SETTLEMENT!

So, how can livestock add to climate change?
It's not just Dr. Mitloehner sounding off.

Listen to Elon Musk talking to Joe Rogan about the same topic.

"The animals are not going to make any difference to global warming."

"I want to be super clear about that. It will not matter, you will not even be able to measure it."
Meaning: the whole problem that DSM and Bovaer are claiming to try to fix is BOGUS!

It is built on a lie.

It started with the FOA report.

The media picked it up and ran with it.

And then COP26, took place in Glasgow, Scotland, in November 2021. Image
Image
During COP26, 100 countries signed the Global Methane Pledge.

The Pledge: to cut methane emissions by 30% by 2030.

So, the DSM product is designed for this very reason.

They say it in their product brochures.

In other words, they are trying to fix a made-up problem. Image
Image
Image
Now, onto Bovaer - The SOLUTION to a non-problem.

• The active ingredient in Bovaer is 3-nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP).

• 3-NOP works by inhibiting an enzyme called methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR).

• MCR is involved in the production of methane in the cow's stomach (rumen). Image
Bovaer beef and milk are fast making their way onto shelves.

• Coles stores in Australia
• Aldi stores in Australia and the UK.
• Lurpak products in the UK and Australia.
• Arla products in the UK.

The list is growing.

The FDA has also approved Bovaer for the US market. Image
Image
Image
DSM says Bovaer is safe and passed European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) tests.

The report says the genotoxic potential of 3-NOP has not been fully clarified (in cows).

3-NOP was found in the liver, kidneys, adrenal glands, bone marrow, muscle, fat, and brain of test animals. Image
EFSA confirmed:

"The FEEDAP Panel considered that the consumer was exposed to 3‐nitrooxypropionic acid (NOPA)..."

"...which is one of the 3‐NOP metabolites. NOPA was not genotoxic based on the studies provided."

Based on the studies provided... Image
In other words.

Small amounts are found in the cows.

And they don't know if, in 5, 10, or 20 years, we will find health issues caused by Bovaer in humans.

But, of course, DSM has gone on the offensive:

They published a "Misinformation about Bovaer® in the UK" guide. Image
In their "Misinformation" guide, they currently list 13 points.

In those 13 points, they repeat over and over again how Bovaer reduces methane.

No one is disputing that!
No one cares because it's a non-issue!

Yet, they only mention safety to HUMANS once.

See for yourself: Image
Image
How many times throughout history have we been told things are SAFE, only to find out later that they are not?

Let's see:

Asbestos
Thalidomide
DDT
Lead
Cigarettes
Bisphenol A (BPA)
Agent Orange
Trans Fats
Mercury-Based Products
Vioxx
Radium...and more. Image
Instead of addressing concerns.

DSM is working with Elanco, to monetize Bovaer use via a new carbon credit process.

'$20 per cow'

'$89 million in RCCP grants awarded...the first tranche of dollars that will be available.'

They call this a 'self-sustaining carbon inset market' Image
Image
Image
Image
To summarise:

This whole thing is a money-making scam.

- There is no methane/climate change issue, as Dr Mitloehner addresses.

- The media ran the story anyway.

- COP26 put The Global Methane Pledge together to reduce methane.

- DSM developed Bovaer knowing 158 participant nations supported it (with funding from the Scottish Government, AKA Scottish taxpayers).

- DSM launched the product.

- Elanco and DSM put together a carbon credit plan to monetize and effectively incentivize Bovaer use for farmers.

- The money to incentivize farmers in the US comes from Regional Conservation Partnership Program
(RCPP) which is the USDA (US taxpayers).

So you end up with:

Blindsided consumers that don't want Bovaer in their meat, milk, or dairy.

Where there is no carbon credit scheme, the consumer pays a higher price for meat, milk, and dairy products.

Where there is a carbon credit scheme, consumers still pay for it via their taxes.

The consumer may potentially face health issues in the future as there have been no long-term studies on humans eating or drinking products fed with Bovaer.

All due to stupid, woke science that is based on a lie.
That's it for now!

Methylene Blue.

It's the most talked-about substance on 𝕏.

The claims? It's anti-aging, enhances cognition, and improves overall energy.

A much-needed thread: 🧵 Image
Image
Methylene blue was first synthesized in 1876 by Heinrich Caro as a textile dye. It gave blue jeans their blue color.

Then scientists discovered something strange: at high doses, it could kill malaria.

This was the first clue that methylene blue was more than just a dye. Image
Image
After malaria, it was used to treat bacterial infections, UTIs & mental health disorders (before antibiotics).

It was also one of the first-ever placebos. Patients were given methylene blue and told it would dissolve their tumors when their urine turned blue. Image

Humans are carnivores.

For most of history, humans ate meat. Not just some meat—primarily meat.

But 12,000 years ago, we made a fatal mistake. One that made us sicker, shorter, and weaker.

Here is the evidence: 🧵 Image
By definition a carnivore is an animal that eats at least 30% meat.

Humans evolved on almost entirely meat for hundreds of thousands of years. Its arguable which range of Carnivore we fit into. But we are absolutely carnivore.

But modern diets ignore this—and it’s killing us. Image
Stable isotope analysis from ancient human bones shows higher nitrogen-15 levels than known carnivores like wolves and lions, indicating a high-protein, meat-based diet. Image

First, the microplastics came for our balls.
Now, they're in our brains.

A whole spoonful of microplastic was recently found in the human brain.

The only way to decrease microplastics (in your balls and brain) is to reduce consumption: 🧵 Image
Grifters on 𝕏 will try to sell you:

• Supplements
• Sauna
• Magical Diets

The truth is there is no known method other than a reduction in consumption. Here is how: Image
[1] Use a good water filter.

Tap and bottled water contains microplastics.

You don't need an expensive reverse osmosis filter.

Use a simple and affordable ceramic urn combined with a candle filter. It also removes Fluoride. Image

A strange video posted to TikTok predicts the end of the world on May 27th, 2025.

Check it out for yourself below.

It's all over Reddit at the moment.

Here is what makes it even weirder:

The user has since deleted their account, and she says the prediction came from an entity named "7."

Is this a new Alternate Reality Game (ARG) or something else?

There is potentially more to this. I just don't know what. Help me out.
The user's name is @ clappymorris
This video was posted to Reddit by user FunkyChewbacca in the TikTokCringe sub.

Low vitamin D levels are linked to almost every major disease—cancer, diabetes, depression, heart disease, and autoimmune disorders.

Yet doctors refuse to talk about it.

Here is why: 🧵 Image
Image
🌞Vitamin D isn’t just a “vitamin”—it’s a powerful 550 million-year-old hormone that impacts nearly every system in your body.

It regulates over 1,000 genes linked to immune function, mood, energy, and disease prevention.

This is why it is the MASTER key to health. Image
Vitamin D helps regulate cell growth and can slow the development of abnormal (cancer) cells. Studies show sufficient levels are linked to lower risks of:

• Breast cancer
• Colon cancer
• Prostate cancer

It acts as a shield for your DNA, reducing mutations. Image

Some say Captain James Cook’s name should be erased from history.

He mapped 1/3 of the Earth, crossed the Antarctic Circle, and eradicated scurvy.

Here’s the real (un-politicized) story of Captain James Cook: 🧵 Image
James Cook’s story isn’t about privilege—it’s about grit. Born in 1728 to a Yorkshire farmhand, he grew up in a mud cottage with 7 siblings.

By 16, he quit school to work in the coal shipping trade. While hauling coal, he became obsessed with ships, navigation, and the sea. Image
In 1755, at 26, Cook joined the Royal Navy. For a low-born sailor, rising in rank was impossible. Officers were aristocrats, the 1%.

Cook’s laser-like focus and skill in cartography (mapping) set him apart. He was already beginning to make a name for himself, earning respect. Image
