  • James Talarico beating Jasmine Crockett in Texas Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, poll shows

    Jump

  • I do, or did too. But I frankly like how Talarico packages his points much better and in a way that reaches "moderate" or Independent swing-voters more effectively.

    I also saw Crockett took a $25k trip paid for by AIPAC and that's a deal-breaker alone for me. Though Talarico took took money from Adelson's pac before he went viral, it seems that was related to casinos. Both imperfect, I guess.

    Watch some of his recent speeches, or the videos that made him viral this past year. He has fully embraced the Fight Oligarchy strategy of AOC and Sanders.

  • I've been very supportive of him. I truly hope he's the real deal and don't get burned like we did with Sinema or Fetterman. What he says is dead-on.

  • "Leaders" is a bit of an overstatement.

  • Yep! Those would be what are called, "edge-cases with health conditions" as aforementioned. Were you unaware of this?

  • There is but no better thing to do than to reiterate that which was said for those who persist with fingers-in-ear denial without substantive refutation:

    1. I did not.
    2. I guarantee their discharge paperwork and instructions were clear on this.
    3. I explicitly noted noted, "edge cases with health conditions aside." (Ding Ding Ding)

    Yes, of course follow guidelines by your doctor(s) and for specialized procedures. I thought it was extremely obvious my suggestions were preventative in nature.

  • Naturally, more studies need to be conducted and microplastics have only been intensively studied beginning this past decade (PFAS being separate and longer). Similar to the carnivore fad diet, odds are exceedingly-high that having microplastics is not good for us but long-term and fully causal studies have not fully identified all mechanistic linkages. Yet I recall tobacco industries rhetorically hiding behind these arguments in a similar manner despite growing concerns from scientists and medical professionals.

    I just take issue with the implication of the other user that this is as harmless as ubiquitous and as fearmongering as water. That in itself is absurd.

    Microplastics should not be in our fucking bodies. Water should.

  • To me if I had to bet this sounds like a classic case of the smartest Trump supporter (now I know that isn't saying much) in the family having the spell broken, and disillusioned, getting extremely upset at realizing he and his family have been duped.

  • Yes, I'm aware — hence why it's an exception to my advice. Is English not your first language? Because this sounds like trolling or gaslighting.

    This is why reading comprehension is important.

    Microplastics as emerging carcinogens: from environmental pollutants to oncogenic drivers

    ABSTRACT: The widespread environmental pollution of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) has become a major public health issue, with increasing evidence associating their bioaccumulation with cancer onset. This review offers a thorough examination of the etiological contributions of MPs/NPs in carcinogenesis, clarifying their mechanistic roles in in vitro, in vivo, and patient-derived evidences. Relevant studies were systematically identified and screened following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines to ensure methodological transparency and quality. We highlighted recent discoveries that emphasize the varied accumulation of MPs in several human cancer tissues, including lung, colorectal, gastric, cervical, breast, pancreatic, prostate and penile malignancies. These particles induce harmful biological effects by chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, genotoxicity, disturbance of lipid metabolism, and alteration of the tumor immunological microenvironment. Significantly, MPs/NPs disrupt various oncogenic signaling pathways, particularly NF-κB, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, Wnt/β-catenin, and p53, therefore facilitating tumor initiation, development, and metastasis. In vitro and in vivo studies have corroborated the carcinogenic potential of MPs/NPs, illustrating their capacity to cause cellular transformation, augment metastatic characteristics, and modify drug resistance pathways in cancer cells. Furthermore, the detection of MPs in human biological matrices, including blood, placenta, and tumor tissues, highlights direct human exposure and potential systemic effects. This review emphasizes the mechanistic insights with therapeutic significance, addressing current knowledge gaps in the field. Future research must prioritize biomarker identification, patient-centered investigations, therapeutic targeting, and the formulation of regulatory policies to alleviate the health hazards linked to microplastic exposure. Understanding the intricate relationship between MPs/NPs and cancer biology could facilitate the development of novel cancer prevention and management strategies related to environmental contamination.

  • Notably, tumor tissue contained significantly more plastic. On average, cancerous samples had about 2.5 times the concentration found in healthy prostate tissue (about 40 micrograms of plastic per gram of tissue compared with 16 micrograms per gram).

    Sure, though it's to be expected that everything contains water in the body. To expect microplastics, however, is kind of different -- leaving aside their showing a legitimate difference in microplastic quantity between healthy and unhealthy prostates.

  • Glad to hear! So sorry to both you and your wife for your medical ailments you've had to deal with. I wish you both speedy recoveries and better times ahead.

    Everyone (edge-cases with health conditions aside) should be eating a high fiber, high probiotic diet, and cutting back on tobacco products and alcohol, while avoiding red meat. It took my siblings more than a year of trying to convince our high-risk dad to get his colonoscopy as his doctor wanted.

    Edit: Thought I couldn't be more clear that high fiber diet is a preventative one for people not with preexisting conditions or already having major medical interventions or other unique health conditions, etc. This is pretty much implied for ANY dietary advice in any dietary article you ever read. If you're unsure, speak with your doctor of course.
