“Eating raw meat regularly is safe for healthy adults.”
This claim is false. Every major health authority — including the WHO and CDC — identifies raw and undercooked meat as a recognized vehicle for dangerous pathogens and parasites, and recommends cooking to specific internal temperatures as the primary safety measure. The fact that some people eat raw dishes like sushi or steak tartare without always getting sick does not make the practice "safe"; those dishes rely on strict sourcing and handling controls and still carry meaningful risk. Regularly eating raw meat exposes even healthy adults to well-documented hazards.
“Parasitic infections are a common cause of sugar cravings in otherwise healthy adults.”
This claim is not supported by credible evidence. No peer-reviewed studies link parasitic infections to sugar cravings in healthy adults. The CDC does not list sugar cravings as a parasitic symptom, and a PubMed search returns zero direct evidence for this connection. The only sources asserting this link are low-credibility wellness blogs and holistic clinic websites citing no clinical research. Well-established causes of sugar cravings include stress, sleep deprivation, hormonal fluctuations, and dietary patterns.
