As someone who spent a significant part of their 20s ingesting the alphabet this trend is honestly baffling.

Don't inject vials of material that are alledgedly new compounds with no safety records that at best mess with your cell biology.

You're gonna fucking hurt yourself.

So is Botulism!

“A big thing … in Cosmetics” is not a glowing endorsement, in fact it is another argument against!

I am pointing out it's a different group. what on earth gave you the impression was endorsing it?

I hate this hellsite and everyone on it that has the reading comprehension of an iphone baby that's been dropped on their head.

Botox isn't botulism btw, botulism is the illness caused by ingesting the toxin, again please learn to read. You can think botox is silly, but it's not actually harmful. It's not like tanning, alcohol, or eating red meat in that it's necessarily a bad idea.

tanning, alcohol and eating red meat are natural and a good idea

all things in moderation is a good maxim

alcohol: https://www.health.gov.au/topics/alcohol/about-alcohol/how-much-alcohol-is-safe-to-drink and https://adf.org.au/reducing-risk/alcohol/alcohol-guidelines/ both advise in clear terms there is no safe level. This was updated a few years ago in light of new research that threw out the supposed health benefits and collated studies demonstrating widespread organ harm at any consumption level. Take the drug if you want to but don't delude yourself. Use science not vibes you fucking moron.

tanning has no benefit and increases risk of skin cancer. Even using inside beds.

red meat: cancer council recognises cancer causing, nothing in it is necessary /and/ exclusive, high concs saturated fat, prior to maha american dietary association recommended elimination in favour of other foods, contribution to bowel cancer is well established.

Uranium is natural, arsenic is natural, funnelweb venom is natural. What's unnatural is how on every topic you consistently say the stupidest thing I've ever heard. From endorsing genocide to recreational cancer.
