There are a lot of scary science stories that go around the Internet. It’s easy for a single paper to get spun up into a media frenzy, and harder for the level-headed truth to prevail. From dangerous chemicals in your spatulas to the dangers of intermittent fasting, here are a few of the biggest, scariest stories that went around lately, and why you don’t need to worry about them.

Great video, but why do you guys say 42 000 nanograms instead of 42 micrograms?
I always figured plasticity in thought is a trait to be lauded.
Why are all the numbers at 4:53 onward reported in thousands of nanograms and not micrograms, which would be the same thing? I'm suspicious because I know that to some people, "35,000 nanograms" might sound like a bigger, scarier number than "35 micrograms," even though it's the exact same amount.
Science can never fully account for human stupidity. Re cfcs, I heard that we did something about it, I haven't checked to see if the same problem is occurring elsewhere, if it's systemic and if proper mitigation is now in place. I have my own job! Oh crap maybe i should, is this my job too 😢.
By trying to calm me down you've just reminded me of all the horrible things!
i feel like each of these topics could be their own joe rogan podcast
Ngl these did not put my mind at ease😂😂
You know Hank, sometimes I see content like this and just thank God we are blessed with good people.
And I don't even really believe in Gods (unless you count quantum effects as God's work)
The lack of Tylenol mentioned speaks volumes. It’s 100% confirmed now. Same with flat earth!
What if it's same amount of plastic, but smaller brains?
