Gotcha. π Here's a lesson in the risks we don't question.
We clutch our pearls over anything new and trendy β peptides, supplements, whatever's viral this week β because we don't fully understand it yet.
Meanwhile, alcohol is handed out every single day, no second thought. And per the CDC, it's tied to roughly 178,000 deaths a year in the U.S.
Funny how that works.
To be clear β this isn't "trendy thing good, alcohol bad." The point is about skepticism. Be cautious with anything new: ask where it's sourced, who makes it, whether there's real evidence. Don't be a guinea pig for the hype.
But maybe point that same skepticism at the things we've quietly decided are "normal" β the ones we consume every day without a second thought.
Because the risk you never question is usually the one that gets you.
What's a "normal" habit you think deserves a harder look? π
