Studies have been done connecting plastics to obesity. There are toxins out there that are affecting hormones and metabolism. I find the information about Russians telling their women dealing with infertility to get away from plastics to be very interesting. I like the line "The movement for fat "acceptance", though, is a coverup for things they don't want you to know about." I used to talk about this years ago how fat acceptance seemed to be distracting from anyone asking why everyone was getting so fat!
Wow, if Russia is telling folks to avoid plastics, that makes them seem a bit more progressive than we'd imagine! It's the reason that I stopped using underarm deodorant (it's made of silicon, do you really want that being absorbed through the pores of your skin?), among other factors. I do think that the links between environmental poisoning and obesity -- not to mention, plenty of other noxious diseases and conditions -- will turn out to be way closer and stronger than anybody suspects.
ReplyDeleteI recently heard of a similar link between asthma rates and gas stoves, which is one reason why health authorities want some additional strictures placed on them (contrary to all the wingnut-generated talking points making the rounds).
And, as we both know, there were a lot of mixed aspects to how the fat acceptance movement presented itself. On one hand, I thought it was great to see people pushing back on the diet industry, and its various scams. On the other, I felt less enthusiasm for the proponents joining the sex biz -- as if we should continue objectifying women, with horny men as the ATM of choice, rather than doing what any sane society should do (promote healthier, safe work options, so nobody feels the need to enlist in the "world's oldest profession"). Even the Dutch and the Thais seems to have gotten over celebrating the most questionable aspects of that mentality, haven't they? --Mr. Peep
I only use deoderant if I am going to be around people and sometimes just wash the pits right before. There's too many ties to breast cancer in women with that crap.
DeleteSometimes I wonder if other countries are far more sane than this clown country. Russia may care about it's people. Weird they want them having babies right where they seem to want to sterilize the hell out of this place and make having children completely unaffordable.
I think with obesity, they are going to find out it's more environmental. The diets are failing. Notice how everyone called me a liar for years before being diagnosed with Lipedema. I'm kind of scared now because I've lost interest in food, a lot tastes like crap, we can't afford as much of it, and I have to eat far less meat, soy etc to avoid stones, and I'm still losing so little. At this point all the CICO people can kiss my ass. I should ask the endocrinologist if she thinks all fat people at like they show them on My 600lb Life.
I think hormonal systems are failing. It's obvious. People don't even look the same anymore, where I am seeing people that look like they have no muscle tone, just odd hormonal shapes, like huge weight on top with skinny legs in some, vice versa with Lipedema women of course. Most young men look far more effeminate, like testosterone is low. I don't think they care about the asthmatics with the gas stoves, they don't want any outside power sources to heat anything up, like make yourself a cup of tea, when they shut the power off.
I was glad too, to see people pushing back on diet scams and constantly being harrassed and insulted for being fat and admitting diets don't work but I got worried as everyone got fatter and sicker and we were told to accept this on the other hand. Why weren't our bodies working, why did they get so fat? No one wanted to hear it. Yeah I used to write about that all the time. Remember in NAAFA when they got mad at me for saying I needed to go to doctors and find out what was wrong. I was gaining 30lbs a freaking month. Those people were high! LOL
Yeah I feel sad for all those superfat women we saw pushed into sex work and sex videos etc. I remember how they constantly pushed me to do it and I was disgusted. That was a very dark side of that world I never expected. I wonder if things are like that today. I think the Dimensions crew had to get old and probably don't exist anymore. All I know is no one wanted to hear the truth much about anything.
Lilac here - I was just researching random things tonight and I found out about 27-hydroxycholesterol which is an oxysterol that has estrogen-like effects, and contributes to breast cancer. I wonder if there is any link between plastics/xenoestrogens and that.
DeleteOh and I looked up some stuff about lipedema - one theory is that it’s caused by having too many estrogen-alpha receptors instead of estrogen-beta receptors in the wrong areas - alpha receptors are the ones in breast tissue so this would sort of corroborate my theory about obese people’s fat being made out of boob tissue that in my case won’t shrink no matter how anorexically skinny I’ve gotten. Another theory is that oxysterols such as 27hc cause conformational changes in these receptors. That may make more sense if testosterone doesn’t shrink it as testosterone is supposed to shrink breasts but not if it converts into estrogen too readily (aromatase inhibitors would in theory reduce this conversion). There are various antifungal drugs that inhibit 27hc production that they are testing for breast cancers that don’t respond to estrogen blockers. I suppose an mRNA injection that produces the enzyme that degrades it might also be useful (see that’s the kind of thing that sort of technology is supposed to be used for - a temporary gene therapy, since it evades the immune system which is really an incredible breakthrough but figures they waste it, indeed grievously misuse it, for antiviral inoculation)
Makes you wonder how all the plastics are affecting things like the estrogen alpha receptors. Lipedema definitely has worsened, it's always existed but the environment is definitely playing a role. Some have cited that Lipedema is related to a form of human hibernation, I found those theories entertaining, like the metabolism shuts down and the fat storage begins. Estrogen definitely plays a role in it.

You know that one poster on Twitter is right, about the plastics though the weird messaging about the Covid vaxxes, threw me off.
of course all the estrogenics are increasing the degree of Lipedema and it's development. Interesting about the boob fat, well the fat of Lipedema is different, all lumpy not smooth. I am full of golf balls and hard nodules too.
I don't see much hope in mRNA, but maybe it could have had some usages in non-genetic altering ways.
Lilac - mRNA is probably the only viable way to do permanent gene therapy. Suppose you used reverse transcriptase and integrate in the RNA code, and figured out how to attach it to the right parts of whatever chromosome you want to attach it to. Could also encode CRISPR to delete defective genes. This would probably be the best fix for cancers caused by genetics and other genetic diseases but it would take a lot longer to perfect it and make it safe and effective so temporary gene edits would be best for saving lives right now.
DeleteI don’t know how storing fat and never using it helps with hibernation, otherwise I would have burned up my boob fat a long time ago. I really think it’s more of a defective response to genes that make boobs look fat. This has nothing to do with their ability to produce milk by the way, so liposucting the boobs of girls with gender dysphoria or body dysmorphia might be a good, non-permanent alternative to full breast removal although they might fatten up again too quickly for it to be worth the trauma of surgery. The reason why human boobs contain so much fat is an adaptation to make them look more like the human ass to add to the fuckability from the male perspective. It’s an adaptation that is ill-suited to famine conditions but well-suited to conditions of plenty which we are experiencing now. My theory is that this goes haywire somehow and the rest of the body wants to do this too. This is why obesity is more frequent in females. Maybe the boob cells transmit mRNA that codes for more estrogen alpha receptors that gets taken up by other tissues? A solution to this might be to remove the gonads and take estetrol instead of estradiol (in a cycle with progesterone, though I don’t see how this would work to an exact science short of an inserted hormone pump). Estetrol is an estrogen that doesn’t affect estrogen alpha receptors as much, just estrogen-beta, which would make it good as a birth control for trans men, also perhaps good for children on puberty blockers to prevent bone loss? It isn’t studied very well yet though so they don’t know if it fuels breast cancer but in theory it would since breast cancer is mostly driven by estrogen-alpha and estrogen-beta is the receptor in the bones.
