Why we can't trust "science", part 558435348758475843
"Science" constantly and loudly instructs us that ONLY high-profit Shkreli pharmaceuticals are capable of curing disease. Any use of low-profit non-Shkreli "supplements" is quackery.
Well, this isn't entirely wrong... "supplements" are often useless. But not always!
Via Eurekalert: Chili peppers slow down the progress of lung cancer.
In experiments involving three lines of cultured human non-small cell lung cancer cells, the researchers observed that capsaicin inhibited invasion, the first step of the metastatic process. They also found that mice with metastatic cancer that consumed capsaicin showed smaller areas of metastatic cancer cells in the lung compared to mice not receiving the treatment.Capsaicin is a common ingredient in supplements, but oddly enough I don't see slowing cancer among the claims made by the "quacks". Mostly they're talking about losing weight. In other words, capsaicin is BETTER than the "quacks" say it is. ¶ 4:56 PM
