From the end of the article:

The European Union’s environmental agency has found “limited evidence of environmental toxicity” with BEMT, but longer-term research is needed.

Oh, I have another much much shorter video that summarises a meta analysis that backs this up. It says that more proteins may actually even lead to marginally reduced muscle gains. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j1bx0GMofYw&pp=ugUEEgJlbg%3D%3D

You might be interested in my reply above then. Essentially, thats part of why the obsession exists. I'm finding it hard to state it in a none conspiracy theorist way, but it's largely right wing anti science grifters winning an argument against health.

It turns out the answer is realy very long, but it's a hell of a ride. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K35FtbuyTh4

TLDW:
It's a right-wing grift. The Leftist Cooks argue that carnivore and “protein-maxxing” diets are not about health; they’re tied to masculinity, control, grift, and far-right politics. They use figures like Jordan Peterson and the Liver King to show how restrictive meat-heavy high protein diets can become symbols of power, identity, and pseudo-scientific authority.

The broader argument is food is never just food. Dietary choices can carry cultural meaning, political signaling, and ideological pressure, and that high protein culture is part of a larger ecosystem that can normalize authoritarian, anti-science, and anti-egalitarian thinking.

The video is excellent though. It's basically a miniseries on the various causes and effects of this and it's incredibly well put together, even if it is 6 hours long. 😱

Why not exercise in a vest/tank top and let your armpits breath?

Here's an interesting quote. Hopefully this will mean we have some more regulation on Lime bikes soon.

The English Devolution Bill, which is has received Royal Assent, should give Transport for London the powers to regulate and license dockless e-bikes.

London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan previously told BBC London the sector was "like the Wild West" and "we desperately need regulation", but that "lobbying [the government] has paid off".

"If this government carries through its promise to bring in regulation around e-bikes, e-scooters, dockless bikes, we hope there should be better standards across London."

I hear you. The hazards of cycling compared to driving a wildly overblown in media coverage terms. I think lime bikes are a bit of a different case though. They are frequently used in very dangerous ways by people with little road cycling experience and have motors that excelerate fast enough to exacerbate that danger. I think it's good that there is a call for more regulation on them.
