@AxtoxthexO @futurism @HarvardHealth @HarvardResearch @Harvard "Although no scientific evidence supports a hypothesis that current observed levels of endotoxin and glucan in ECs raise health concerns..." It’s pure speculation that they admit doesn’t even rise to the level of a hypothesis. https://t.co/YLrGpiHqMU
