(A review of 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2) in surface water across 32 countries: Sources, concentrations, and potential estrogenic effects; 2021)
I do wonder what happened to all those studies that were being done around hormones leeching from waste water. They seem to have gone completely out of fashion amongst western scientists over the past decade.
Another important comment that I wanted to write about is on Thiamine. There’s quite strong association with Thiamine reduction when is analyze together with alcohol consumption. Apparently either concentration levels are low or absorption levels become disrupted for longer periods of time, specially if drinking at least a bit every week. Have a look into it. I’ve dropped alcohol entirely after listening to Huberman’s episode on it. I was honestly fine before but coming from a PhD in computational neuroscience and knowing the effects of alcohol at the cellular level... it just felt like a misalignment in judgement to not follow my own advice. I like to believe there is wisdom in that.
Well as a dentist I would say yes there is a connection between the bad fillings and tmj problems. But I think the main problem that you are having is bruksizmus which is clenching your jaws too much. Bruksizmus seen almost 1/3 of the patients. It is related to the stress level that you are having at during the day. After sometime you will gain some more muscles growth in your masseter. Thats just making it more severe. Either you should take a masseter botox or night plak for bruksizm.
Good post! I’m sorry to hear about your muscle pain. I personally have been doing mewing and the training has definitely changed my jaw and face symmetry. And I think much of the muscle pain can be harder to resolve if you grow the muscle and then do the right stretches. My physique is such that I am growing muscle at the moment but paying a lot of attention to flexibility.
"That the downtrend in sperm count is seen in Western countries suggests that “chemicals in commerce” are playing a role, Dr. Swan said."
Such as The Pill?

(How estrogens persist in dairy wastewater; 2012)
With no contact with air estrogen and its variants can apparently remain for years while also being very hard to detect.
The rise of milk, soy and other estrogen rich & estrogen proliferating foodstuff is another angle worth looking at.

Great post as always!

my = may?

So interesting. The thiamine and the dentist -neck pain connection especially.
