<p>The claim that McDonald's insists on using russet burbank potatoes with no blemishes, requiring the use of a toxic pesticide called Monitor, has been circulating widely. Let's break down this claim and examine its validity.</p>
<p>Firstly, it is true that McDonald's has specific standards for the potatoes used in their french fries. The russet burbank potato is indeed a preferred variety due to its long shape and suitability for frying. McDonald's does have strict quality control measures to ensure consistency in their products, which includes avoiding potatoes with blemishes.</p>
<p>Net necrosis is a common defect in russet burbank potatoes, often caused by aphids. To control aphids, farmers may use various pesticides, including Monitor (active ingredient: methamidophos). Monitor is an organophosphate insecticide that has been used in agriculture for decades.</p>
<p>The claim that Monitor is so toxic that farmers won't venture into their fields for five days after spraying is where the claim becomes more complex. While it is true that organophosphate pesticides can be toxic and require careful handling, the specific toxicity and safety protocols can vary. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has guidelines for the safe use of pesticides, including re-entry intervals for workers. These intervals are designed to protect workers from exposure to harmful levels of pesticides.</p>
<p>However, the claim that farmers won't venture into their fields for five days specifically due to Monitor's toxicity lacks direct evidence. The re-entry intervals for pesticides are based on scientific studies and regulatory guidelines, and they can vary depending on the specific pesticide and application method.</p>
<p>In conclusion, while it is true that McDonald's has strict quality standards for their potatoes and that pesticides like Monitor are used to control aphids, the claim about the extreme toxicity of Monitor and the specific re-entry interval of five days is not fully supported by available evidence. More research and specific data are needed to fully validate this part of the claim.</p>

Claim Review: McDonald's Potatoes and Pesticide Use

Helena Begenišić

<p>Helena Begenišić tvrdi da je ulcerozni kolitis infekcija herpes zosterom u crijevnim oblogama. Ova tvrdnja je netočna i nije poduprta znanstvenim dokazima.</p>
<p>Ulcerozni kolitis je kronična upalna bolest crijeva koja uzrokuje upalu i čireve u debelom crijevu. Ova bolest je autoimuna, što znači da je uzrokovana imunološkim sustavom koji napada vlastito tkivo tijela. Simptomi ulceroznog kolitisa uključuju bol u trbuhu, proljev, krv u stolici i gubitak težine.</p>
<p>Herpes zoster, poznat i kao obični herpes, je virusna infekcija koja uzrokuje bolne ospe na koži. Virus herpes zostera može izazvati bolest poznatu kao herpes zoster ili obični herpes, ali nije povezan s ulceroznim kolitisom.</p>
<p>Znanstvena istraživanja pokazuju da ulcerozni kolitis nije uzrokovan virusom herpes zostera. Umjesto toga, bolest je povezana s genetskim čimbenicima, imunološkim poremećajima i okolišnim faktorima. Studija objavljena u časopisu <em>Gastroenterology</em> pokazuje da ulcerozni kolitis ima složenu patogenezu koja uključuje genetičke i imunološke čimbenike, a ne virusnu infekciju.</p>
<p>Dodatno, istraživanje objavljeno u časopisu <em>Inflammatory Bowel Diseases</em> potvrđuje da ulcerozni kolitis nije povezan s virusnim infekcijama poput herpes zostera. Ova studija istražuje različite uzroke i mehanizme upalnih bolesti crijeva, ali ne nalazi dokaze koji bi poduprli tvrdnju da je ulcerozni kolitis uzrokovan virusom herpes zostera.</p>
<p>Zaključak: Tvrdnja da je ulcerozni kolitis infekcija herpes zosterom u crijevnim oblogama je netočna. Ulcerozni kolitis je autoimuna bolest, a ne virusna infekcija. Znanstvena istraživanja potvrđuju da ulcerozni kolitis ima složenu patogenezu koja uključuje genetičke i imunološke čimbenike, a ne virusnu infekciju.</p>

Review of the Claim: Ulcerozni kolitis je infekcija herpes zosterom u crijevnim oblogama

Nenad Roso (Valetudo)

<p>Tvrdnja da 3% vodikov peroksid ima izvanredne učinke na mnoge bolesti, uključujući rak, i da se može koristiti oralno za razne zdravstvene koristi široko se širi. Međutim, ova tvrdnja je uglavnom neosnovana i potencijalno opasna.</p>
<p>Vodikov peroksid (H2O2) je zaista snažan oksidans koji se koristi za dezinfekciju rana i površina. Djeluje tako što oslobađa kisik, koji može ubiti bakterije i druge mikroorganizme. Međutim, njegova upotreba je ograničena na vanjsku primjenu.</p>
<p>Kada se proguta, vodikov peroksid može uzrokovati ozbiljne zdravstvene probleme. Može izazvati opekline usta, grla i želuca, te može dovesti do ozbiljnih medicinskih stanja kao što su embolija pluća i oštećenje bubrega. Zbog toga se ne preporučuje oralna upotreba vodikovog peroksida.</p>
<p>Što se tiče tvrdnji da vodikov peroksid može izliječiti rak, to je potpuno neosnovano. Rak je složena bolest koja zahtijeva specijalizirane tretmane, uključujući kirurgiju, kemoterapiju, radioterapiju i imunoterapiju. Nema znanstvenih dokaza koji bi poduprli tvrdnju da vodikov peroksid može biti efikasan u liječenju raka.</p>
<p>Dodatno, tvrdnja da vodikov peroksid ima korisne učinke na cijeli životni vijek ljudi također nije potkrijepljena znanstvenim dokazima. Iako je prisutan u nekim biološkim procesima, njegova upotreba kao terapijski sredstvo nije dokazana i može biti opasna.</p>
<p>Zaključno, tvrdnja da 3% vodikov peroksid ima izvanredne učinke na mnoge bolesti i da se može sigurno koristiti oralno je neosnovana i potencijalno opasna. Preporučuje se da se vodikov peroksid koristi isključivo za vanjsku dezinfekciju i da se izbjegava njegova oralna upotreba.</p>

Provjera tvrdnji: Upotreba 3% vodikovog peroksida za razne zdravstvene koristi

<p>Tvrdnja da COVID cjepiva nisu sigurna je centralna tema letka koji se dijelio 22. 10. 2021. godine. Analizirat ćemo svaku točku pojedinačno kako bismo utvrdili točnost ovih tvrdnji.</p>
<h3>1. Nijedno COVID cjepivo nema službeno odobrenje, jer nije završila 3. faza testiranja koja treba trajati do 2023.-2024.</h3>
<p>Ova tvrdnja je netočna. Mnogi COVID cjepiva su dobila hitno odobrenje za upotrebu nakon što su prošli kroz sve faze kliničkih ispitivanja. Na primjer, Pfizer-BioNTech cjepivo je dobilo hitno odobrenje od strane FDA u SAD-u u prosincu 2020. godine. <a href="https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-takes-key-action-fight-against-covid-19-issuing-emergency-use-authorization-first-covid-19">FDA Press Announcement</a></p>
<h3>2. Znanstvena istraživanja eminentnih svjetskih znanstvenika cenzuriraju se i informacije uskraćuju, kako bi se što vise Ijudi nagovorilo na ovaj eksperiment.</h3>
<p>Ova tvrdnja je teško provjerljiva i nema konkretnih dokaza koji bi je potkrijepili. Znanstvena zajednica je uglavnom transparentna u objavljivanju rezultata istraživanja, a mnoga istraživanja su dostupna javnosti. <a href="https://www.nature.com/subjects/sars-cov-2">Nature Article on COVID-19 Research</a></p>
<h3>3. U fazi testiranja na životinjama, sve životinje su nakon cijepljenja uginule.</h3>
<p>Ova tvrdnja je netočna. Studije na životinjama su pokazale da cjepiva protiv COVID-19 ne uzrokuju smrtnost kod životinja. Na primjer, studija objavljena u časopisu Nature pokazuje da cjepiva protiv COVID-19 su sigurna i efikasna u životinjskim modelima. <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2622-0">Nature Article on Animal Testing of COVID-19 Vaccines</a></p>
<h3>4. Cjepivo ne pruža zaštitu od razbolijevanja i teze kliničke slike COVIDA. Cjepivo ne pruža zaštitu od širenja zaraze pa i nakon cijepljenja treba nositi maske i držati fizičku distancu.</h3>
<p>Ova tvrdnja je djelomično točna. Cjepiva protiv COVID-19 smanjuju rizik od teške bolesti i smrti, ali ne pružaju 100% zaštitu od infekcije. Ipak, cjepiva smanjuju vjerojatnost širenja virusa. <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/covid/vaccines/covid-19-vaccine-effectiveness.html">CDC on Vaccine Effectiveness</a></p>
<h3>5. Mnogi cijepljeni su kasnijim testiranjem evidentirani kao COVID pozitivni, a mnogi su oboljeli od COVID simptoma i završili u bolnici.</h3>
<p>Ova tvrdnja je preuveličana. Iako postoje slučajevi kada cijepljeni ljudi dobiju COVID-19, većina cijepljenih ima blaže simptome i manju vjerojatnost hospitalizacije. <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7021e3.htm#:~:text=A%20total%20of%2010%2C262%20SARS,%3D%2040%E2%80%9374%20years">CDC on Breakthrough Cases</a></p>
<h3>6. Teške nuspojave moguće su nakon cijepljenja: stvaranje krvnih ugrušaka i velika mogućnost zastoja rada srca, pluća i moždanog udara, teška demencija, gubitak i kognitivnih reakcija, sterilitet muškaraca i žena, iznenadna krvarenja, sljepoća, nepokretnost i SMRT.</h3>
<p>Ova tvrdnja je preuveličana. Teške nuspojave su rijetke i većina ljudi ima blage i privremene nuspojave. Studije pokazuju da su ozbiljne nuspojave vrlo rijetke. <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html">CDC on Vaccine Safety</a></p>
<h3>7. Cjepiva protiv COVIDA nisu cjepiva do sada poznata znanosti. Za ova cjepiva korištena je nova mRNA tehnologija koja do sada nikada nije bila primijenjena na ljudima te predstavlja genski eksperiment. Pored toga, cjepiva sadrže kancerogene, mutagene i neurotoksične supstance te humane stanice iz abortiranih fetusa.</h3>
<p>Ova tvrdnja je netočna. mRNA tehnologija je dobro istražena i sigurna. Cjepiva ne sadrže kancerogene, mutagene ili neurotoksične supstance, niti <a href="https://remedia.social/articles/remedia-ai-ed9a06b3b2f4/istina-iza-mita-o-fetalnim-stanicama-u-cjepivima-12b8d7fffa69">humane stanice iz abortiranih fetusa.</a></p>
<h3>Zaključak</h3>
<p>Nakon detaljne analize, tvrdnja da COVID cjepiva nisu sigurna je uglavnom netočna. Većina tvrdnji u letku je pogrešna ili preuveličana. Cjepiva protiv COVID-19 su sigurna i efikasna u smanjenju rizika od teške bolesti i smrti..</p>

<h2>Claim Review: Parasites and Modern Medicine</h2>
<p>The claim that parasites have killed more humans than all wars combined and that modern medicine fails to diagnose and treat them effectively is a bold statement that warrants a thorough examination. This article will delve into the veracity of this claim, providing evidence and context to help readers understand the truth behind these assertions.</p>
<h3>Parasites and Human Mortality</h3>
<p>Parasites, such as protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites, have indeed been a significant cause of human morbidity and mortality throughout history. Diseases like malaria, caused by the Plasmodium parasite, have been particularly devastating. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), malaria alone caused an estimated 627,000 deaths in 2020. However, comparing the total number of deaths from parasitic infections to those from all wars combined is a complex and potentially misleading comparison.</p>
<p>Historical data on war-related deaths is challenging to compile accurately, but estimates suggest that tens of millions of people have died in wars throughout history. For example, World War II alone resulted in an estimated 70-85 million deaths. Comparing this to the cumulative deaths from parasitic infections over centuries is not straightforward, and such a comparison lacks context and precision.</p>
<h3>Modern Medicine and Parasite Treatment</h3>
<p>The claim that modern medicine fails to diagnose and treat parasitic infections effectively is also problematic. While it is true that some parasitic infections can be challenging to diagnose and treat, significant advancements have been made in the field of parasitology. Modern diagnostic techniques, such as molecular testing and advanced imaging, have improved the detection of parasitic infections. Additionally, a range of effective treatments, including antiparasitic medications, are available to combat these infections.</p>
<p>For instance, the use of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) has been instrumental in reducing malaria-related deaths. The WHO reports that the widespread use of ACTs has contributed to a significant decline in malaria mortality rates. Similarly, treatments for other parasitic infections, such as praziquantel for schistosomiasis and albendazole for intestinal worms, have proven effective.</p>
<h3>Misinformation and Fearmongering</h3>
<p>The article in question employs sensational language and makes unsubstantiated claims, which can contribute to misinformation and fearmongering. For example, the assertion that parasites coat themselves in heavy metal toxins to hide from the immune system lacks scientific evidence. While some parasites may have evolved mechanisms to evade the immune system, the specific claim about heavy metal toxins is not supported by peer-reviewed research.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the article suggests that avoiding vaccines, which often contain mercury and aluminum, is a strategy for fighting parasites. This is a dangerous and misleading statement. Vaccines are a crucial public health measure that has saved countless lives by preventing infectious diseases. The presence of trace amounts of metals in vaccines is well-studied and regulated to ensure safety.</p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>In conclusion, the claim that parasites have killed more humans than all wars combined and that modern medicine fails to diagnose and treat them effectively is largely unsubstantiated and misleading. While parasitic infections are a significant health concern, modern medicine has made significant strides in diagnosing and treating these conditions. It is essential to rely on evidence-based information and avoid sensational claims that can contribute to misinformation and fearmongering.</p>
<p>For more information on parasitic infections and their treatment, please refer to reliable sources such as the World Health Organization and peer-reviewed scientific literature.</p>

Claim Review: Parasites and Modern Medicine

Portal Epoha - com hr

<p>U posljednje vrijeme kruže tvrdnje da su u Francuskoj počela masovna uhićenja ljudi koji su kritizirali degutantnu ceremoniju otvorenja Olimpijskih igara u Parizu. Prema tim tvrdnjama, francuske vlasti su uhitile sedam osoba zbog navodnog uznemiravanja Thomasa Jolyja, umjetničkog direktora Ljetnih olimpijskih igara 2024.</p>    <p>Međutim, detaljna provjera ovih tvrdnji pokazuje da one nisu potpuno točne. Iako je istinito da su neke osobe optužene zbog prijetnji i uznemiravanja putem interneta, ne postoje dokazi o masovnim uhićenjima. Slučajevi koji su spomenuti su izolirani i specifični, a ne dio šire kampanje uhićenja.</p>    <p>Pariško tužiteljstvo je potvrdilo da je pokrenulo istragu i da su uhićene neke osobe, ali to ne znači da su svi koji su kritizirali ceremoniju otvorenja uhićeni. Tužitelji su naglasili ozbiljnost optužbi, ističući da slučaj odražava zabrinjavajući obrazac internetskog nasilja i govora mržnje usmjerenog prema istaknutim osobama.</p>    <p>Mađarski veleposlanik u Vatikanu i bivši američki predsjednik Donald Trump su također kritizirali scenu otvaranja Olimpijskih igara, nazivajući je 'sramotnom'. Međutim, njihove izjave ne potvrđuju tvrdnju o masovnim uhićenjima.</p>    <p>Prema izvješćima, sedmorica optuženih se suočavaju s optužbama za prijetnje smrću, teške napade i internetsko zlostavljanje, uz potencijalne zatvorske kazne i značajne novčane kazne. Ovi slučajevi su specifični i ne predstavljaju masovnu kampanju uhićenja.</p>    <p>Zaključno, tvrdnja da su u Francuskoj počela masovna uhićenja ljudi koji kritiziraju umjetničkog direktora Olimpijskih igara je netočna. Nema dokaza o masovnim uhićenjima, a slučajevi koji su spomenuti su izolirani i specifični. Važno je provjeravati informacije iz više izvora kako bismo izbjegli širenje dezinformacija.</p>
