“What is going on with nicotine that the public doesn’t know?”

Here’s exactly what’s going on and what you need to know:

A thread 1/8: 🧵 Let’s look at the claims made in the video and online about nicotine:

- Sharpens focus
- Improves memory recall
- Boosts dopamine & motivation

Even though these claims might be true, let’s compare them to another powerful neuroenhancer:

Sunlight was once a health hero.

In the 19th & early 20th centuries, hospitals had sun decks & rooftop solariums.

Patients were wheeled into the sun for recovery

Fresh air and light were considered medicine.

Why’d we ditch this? The sunbed scare: where did it start?

In 2009, the WHO classified tanning beds as Group 1 carcinogens — same category as asbestos and smoking.

Boniol (2012) reported:
• 20% ↑ melanoma risk for ever using sunbeds
• 87% ↑ if use began before age 35

Australia even banned solariums, blaming them for 281 melanoma cases per year.

Scary headlines — but are the numbers legit?

Everything I Thought About Saturated Fat Was Wrong

For years, I believed that eating butter, red meat, and cheese would clog my arteries and send me to an early grave. I thought saturated fat was the enemy,

But what if I told you we’ve all been misled?

The idea that saturated fat causes heart disease has been ingrained into our culture, but it turns out, it was built on weak, cherry-picked data rather than solid science. New research is shattering the old myths, and it’s time to rethink everything we thought we knew about nutrition. The Truth About Saturated Fat and Cholesterol

We’ve been told a very simple, but misleading story:

1. Saturated fat raises LDL ("bad") cholesterol
2. High LDL causes heart disease
3. Therefore, saturated fat = heart disease
Sounds convincing, right? Except it's not that simple.

Methylene Blue: Supplement or Hype?

Here's a quick dive into the science: What is it?
Originally synthesized as a chemical dye, Methylene Blue was first used in textiles before scientists discovered its biological effects. It has antibacterial, antiviral, and antiparasitic properties, which led to its first medical use as a malaria treatment.

Today, Methylene Blue is gaining popularity in longevity with research suggesting it may combat aging, protect the brain, and improve skin health. But is it all hype, or is there real science behind it?
