I'm a dietician/kinesiologist that somewhat specializes in orthorexia and I spend too much of my time on debunking statements made by influencers. People like Tati keep me in business and I wish they didn't.

[@angelikamakeup]

I appreciate people like you SO MUCH 💗

[@scray00]

You guys should do a collab. I’d love to hear your answers to some of her statements. 🙂

[@sarahwales6276]

Orthorexia?? Is that they call people who eat clean?

[@tonyathompson8910]

Personally I feel like her struggle with infertility has sent her on some weird paths just trying anything to make her body do what she wants I feel bad for her tbh

[@itskashkashi]

So like... Serena Waterford vibes?

[@Thisshitsdumb]

That’s exactly what I thought. I kinda wish they just adopted a kid instead of starting a vitamin company

[@dochka]

it's a pretty common route into these stuff, my mother started like that too (and obviously had 'evidence' since she was able to have kids after starting) , if it brings comfort sure but particularly when you start advocating for more harmful things or when you have a massive audience like tati...

Great video on this topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6eqiKJqi8qXoKM GUYS I get it: Seattle is not in Texas and it is progressive. I simply misspoke because she moved from LA to Florida to Texas to Seattle so my brain did a fart.

as someone suffering with an ED for many years I think the “ vegan “ phase a lot of these influencers went through was actually just a super restrictive ED . it makes sense that “ an egg or piece of chicken … ect “ would “ transform “ them when in actuality it was because their bodies were in a starvation mode

[@katmaldonado1323]

Literally, I was thinking she likely was not eating enough calories to eating more. It makes a difference for sure! Stressing over everything and trying to control every detail of your life is just another form of restriction.

[@dunjamilosevic7080]

@Obscura definitely! ive been vegan for a couple years and in the beggining it was hard to get enough protein cause we as a society are used to getting protein from animals, so i simply didnt know what to eat. but after you do a bit of research and get into a new routine its just as healthy or even more!

[@isabellaannunciation168]

was looking for a comment like this because I was thinking the same thing. She finally is just giving herself the proper nutrition that her body actually needs. no wonder she feels so much better now, she has the energy the fully function not only physically but also mentally.

[@bluebeesmarple]

omg that’s totally it you cracked it!

[@00Rav3n00]

@Obscura omg I remember being a young girl (like 15/16) watching people like iJustine, Joey, Rosanna etc and the amount of healthy eatting moments in their vlogs was excessive. I love them, but eventually I had to stop watching their content (on a consistent level) because of how dangerous it was for me at that age. Like I literally comment under one of Joey's videos that it's nice he was promoting healthy eatting, but I thought it was inappropriate how he was talking about juicing, strict diets and not discussing balanced eatting when his fan base is so young.

[@allanscherman8851]

You can just tell by how she uses her very specific scientific vocabulary that she's been fed those terms and doesn't actually know what they mean. Anyone in science can recognise this kind of behaviour and it's so frustrating.

[@CherryJuli]

The fact that she thinks she has some kind of mysterious illness because she has gut issues is also a big giveaway that she has no idea what she’s talking about.

[@longlivebeans]

I’m not a doctor, I’m not diagnosing her. All I’m gonna say society as a whole really needs to get better at recognizing the signs of orthorexia.

[@angelikamakeup]

I also think orthorexia should become an official diagnosis because it seems to be on the rise!

[@BloodSweatandFears]

Absolutely my thought!

[@KY67979]

But scientifically there simply are so many things in our food/environment/water that has led to an increase in all kinds of diseases. That's true. And we have to vigilant if we want to be healthy, unfortunately.

[@christianbosse_]

my thoughts as someone who both has a bowel syndrome and was a health coach: when your health isn’t the way you’d like, you tend to obsess over it. your body is the only home you never leave. it’s tough to deal with symptoms and go through the stress of pinpointing what’s wrong. there are also dozens of camps in the nutrition space. every single one of them have a clique-ish group and diet culture language. there will always be extremists in every group and nutrition is BIG on that. ultimately, she’s probably put a lot of trust in people who may or may not be right in order to heal her body. there are some smaller aspects to what she says that could be true and rooted in studies, but the majority of nutrition is personal and individualized. there’s a fallacy that everyone has where the moment you discover something new, you feel the most entitled to share that info. but as you learn, you realize you don’t know nearly enough to coach everyone nor is your responsibility to. i think she should be careful and her audience should be careful too. hopefully she can find a way to explore her health without making it a part of her brand, cause this could be dangerous for those who are gullible. *sorry this was long. i can recognize the ideologies she’s talking about so i’m not surprised by her changes and thought i’d share from my perspective.

“Always chasing something” is exactly how Tati has always felt to me. She has never just been at peace

[@hebe_lia]

literally this.

[@EllieBellie_111]

Tati is one of those people who has medical issues and seeks out something she can do or change in order to make herself feel like she has control over the issues rather than accepting that sometimes human bodies just don't do what we want them to do. I feel bad that she is infertile. I know she has wanted a child for a long time. But her diet isn't causing the issue. It's just one of the things she has control over and it's something she can focus on to help put her at ease.

[@lizstyla88]

Yes, she has promoted lots of different health 'fads' over the years but really it's is an issue in the mind she needs to deal with first. I feel for her in this situation but I also worry about the misinformation she is spreading to people via her channel.

[@kissarococo2459]

I'm her age, I think her thinking comes from all those women's magazines of late 90sand 00s that touted cures for almost anything with fad diets and supplements.

[@eh1126]

That could be true but then there’s also the case of RawbeautyKristi who suffered from infertility her whole life, then she went on a keto diet and got pregnant naturally by accident. Our diet actually ties closely to our hormones so who knows.

[@Itsunclegabby]

@@eh1126 Exactly. Dr. Neal Barnard (who has sued the USDA...**ahem**) has had many patients conceive through diet change. Diet has a lot to do with hormones. I shrank my uterine and breast fibroids changing my diet alone, and I healed other ailments the more I refined it, so I would have to disagree. In fact, I encourage most women to assess what they are eating if they're having some kind of female/reproductive issue. I don't understand why people aren't grasping that the nutrition you put inside of you is FUEL. Your cells need fuel and the correct fuel to make the correct hormones!!! If my doctor is NOT asking me about diet in the first interaction, I'm out.

It's interesting because I feel like I've seen an increase in this "clean only, no medicines/vaccines" mentality in the U.S for some time. So when I saw Tati released her vitamin brand, I ignored it.

But literally that's why we have the FDA, so we can TEST the chemicals we both naturally source AND synthesize in labs. Line snake venom is natural, but it can kill you, but the anti venom is synthesized to cancel the venom out, by using the venom molecules as a precursor protein before they change it somehow or year what will contact it.

Haha...thank you...I was just about to say that! Seattle is not "right wing"...tee hee....it's politically similar to Los Angeles IMHO

[@courtnsession_]

The thing about the issues she brings up (microplastics in water, mind/gut health, etc) are actually important topics overall but the way she frames them into a “well since this is A then B happens obviously G comes next” is real genuine cult-ish tactics of spreading misinfo. That’s how we see so many “smart” or “down to earth” people falling into these cult-ish traps.

[@ricequin]

Thanks for speaking out about ageism. I’m a couple of years older than Tati and I always appreciated having someone on KZbin talking about beauty who wasn’t a teenager. Especially because I cringe when I look back at how I did my beauty in my teens and twenties. We learn so much about what works for us over the years so I’m not inclined to trust much younger people on beauty. It took years for me to work out how to not make myself look like a clown.

[@gwendolynjonkers8695]

Have you seen Robert Welsh he is 38 years old and was a make up artist before he started a Channel he actually knows what he's doing so maybe nice to look into

[@May_Berry_]

Do you think people calling her the ‘mom’ of KZbin and saying she so wise because of her age contributed to her not listening to fans about her friendship with Jeffree? Like “I’m the mom of KZbin, and I’m older than you guys, I have more life experience…I think I’ll be fine.” I feel like she got a little cocky because she’s been so good at judging things in an unbiased way that she felt everyone else was biased and didn’t understand it like she did.

[@cailinanne]

Definitely feels like she COULD be in a “control this environment. Control the everything!” response mode to _something._ Disordered eating and seeking out higher powers is definitely a typical response. But I mean, none of us know her and we will prob never know.

[@angelikamakeup]

Yes 100% trying to over control everything!

[@spasticfurchild]

Completely understandable after her whole world came crashing down once before. I mean, she was in a huge lawsuit where her business partner tried to royally screw her over, and that’s completely ignoring what Shane and Jeffree did. She deserves some grace.

[@hwoods-kg1jf]

I'm actually surprised not that many "tea/drama channels" are covering this right now, especially Peter Monn. He just keeps making videos about James Charles, Shane Dawson, Jeffree Star and Jaclyn Hill. He used to make videos on Tati all the time and now he hasn't said a PEEP about her in a very long time. I know he had an accident and he almost died and I was SO worried about him during that time period and I'm SO happy he survived and made a full recovery. Peter is one of my favorite drama commentary channels but I just now thought about how long it's been since he's even brought Tati up!

[@torilan2672]

It just reflects the type of “information” that we’re getting from this channel.

[@haleyps6929]

I think my biggest issue with present Tati is that her new "diet" is that she seems to be supporting an extremely expensive lifestyle that the average person can't afford. It's so incredibly expensive and unattainable for the average person, and she's making it seem like it's the only way to improve your health. Like, who can afford special water? Who can afford to buy meat straight from the farmer? She seems so out of touch now and unaware of the average person. Back in her prime, we knew she was wealthy, but she still seemed like she was in touch with people. Now, she just seems like she's an out of touch rich lady and she's not relatable anymore.

[@hollylindauer1678]

FYI in the Midwest and down south in US it’s actually cheaper to buy meat from a farmer. A whole cow costs around 1,000 and ends up costing 3.99/pound processed vs 7.00 a pound minimum at meat counter!!!

Tati talking about gut health and then recommending dairy is wild. I have an inflammatory disorder and many gut issues and the anti inflammatory diet actual health professionals tend to recommend is very no dairy. (Also not trying to say that dairy is straight up bad for you but if you have problems with gut health/inflammation its something that doctors will recommend stopping)

[@savannahrae9122]

This is where it purely depends on the person and their bodies ability to process particular foods. My body does amazing on high protein, and fat with a decent dose of fibre. High carbs make me drowsy and bloated. My body does beautifully with dairy products, but if I eat a vegetarian diet (not even vegan) within a week I start feeling sick, and tired. Yet I know people that have been vegetarian their entire lives that are quite fine. I do think humans are very complex and many things in our diets are not black and white. Unfortunately I do the best I can with what I can afford and that means I can't eat perfectly for what my body craves because it's a very expensive diet. And I think many people are in the same boat.

[@haileybubs9851]

@@savannahrae9122 yeah, it’s very subjective. Nightshades are one of the things to avoid on the anti inflammatory diet but I don’t have a problem with those (it’s the Italian in me lol). I just thought it was strange that she talked about that like this is a fact they don’t want you to know when for many if not most people dairy products/milk specifically are more irritating than alternatives And your point about things being expensive is very true! Many things that are “good for you” are way more expensive than other things, I always thought it was fucked how gluten free stuff is so expensive when celiac is an actual disease that can ruin peoples lives.

[@heredianna2496]

Yes as the other person said it depends. I am in France and nobody here think here that dairy is bad for your gut or cause inflammatory in general. If you have gut issues the first thing they'll look is if you eat a lot of processed food and sugar, alcohol content etc... If symptoms continue they'll process by elimination while trsting all type of food including vegetables... Plus when it comes to dairy there is different quality of dairy also. But If you're lactose intolerant obviously it is advice to not drink dairy but that's not the case of everyone and it'seasy and quick to be tested on that. Nuts are healthy, although many people are allergic or sensitive to eat so they just have to avoid it but that does not mean it is not good in general.

[@paolacastillo5310]

Actually the gut is called "the second" brain because is true that it influences a lot the way we feel and our humor, hormones, etc.

Absolutely! I just didn’t like that she said if you have gut issues then your brain can’t be healthy. Which is not correct.

If you can stomach them some of the best foods for iron that can actually be properly absorbed and used by your body easily is oysters or muscles, I don't like oysters (unless they are done Kilpatrick style )but I can eat cooked muscles in the format of chilli muscles. Coming from someone with a copper iud which means I need to watch my iron doesn't drop super low because of the iud. I know it's not a move away from meat but I thought I'd mention it. If you don't like textures or flavours look for recipes that you can, get creative. 😁 A good example is I hate scallops in all formats other than a creamy soup with no roe.

[@brunaheluacabalintiburcio1700]

I totally get what you are saying. My mom sometimes comes to me with these crazy stories like "cooked banana helps your brain to produce serotonin" that totally comes from conspiracies or pseudoscience. But to be fair regarding the gluten issue, it can make a person really lethargic if them have allergies or are intolerant (that can really affects your chemicals and day to day activities). A person can lose a lot of water in those "bathroom sessions"and that can cause headaches due to dehydration etc.

Totally. Even as far as celiac disease. But she was talking about bodies not being able to process/ benefit from vegetables at all. Really strange. I mean, there might be a condition that affects people that way, but I'm sure if it does exist it's so rare that talking so flippantly and generally about it is dangerous. Like someone with aquagenic urticaria using their platform to denounce hand washing because of their "personal experience".

She's become one of those stand for nothing, fall for anything type of people. It's really quite sad when you think of the strength of personality she used to project.

That was my step mom when I was younger! The cabbage soup diet!!!! Ahhhh...the house smelled awful for about 2 weeks then she moved on to some other fad. It was sad to see because of course at first she would drop a few lbs but they weren't sustainable so of course she would "cheat" with foods not specific to the diet then blame herself and then the cycle started again. I tried telling her that her "cheating" on the diet was probably her body telling her it was lacking something and literally begging for certain things that she wasn't ingesting. Thankfully she has been healthy for years now and loves her body, eating a healthy diet while still allowing herself to eat not so healthy foods just because she likes them and enjoying her relationship with both food and her own body.

[@Emily-ck9ji]

Is she still trying to get pregnant? I'm wondering if all her pseudoscience about chemicals in the body stems from a desperation to have a baby. Does she think that if she changes her diet, gets rid of all these possible chemicals and hormones, she'll be healthy enough to conceive? I might be totally off about her motivation here, but it honestly sounds like it. Like she's grasping at any chance to get pregnant. If that's the case..

I get where you're coming from but as a person in the scientific field the use of Glyphosates have been studied and found to cause problems in people that consume elevate levels of it (this includes working with it or living near places that use it extensively). Microplastics are of real concern and shouldn't be brushed under the rug doesn't matter what you believe in (or you plotical position) when the deepest parts of the ocean (that have been surveyed) and the highest altitudes on earth can still produce contaminated samples something is wrong. When plastic can be found in people's bloodstream and in the placenta of women who have given birth, that is a concern. When plastic or other extensively used chemicals are found to have negative effects on the endocrine system of living thingsand are effectively unavoidable, it shouldn't be listed of as a cultish belief but rather something more research should be done on. And for solutions to the created problems to be found. There are studies on these things. And people can choose to research things at their own depression just remember that most studies will only be funded if they can be found to be beneficial or profitable unless the researcher funds it themselves. There's a reason some scientific techniques are wide spread and others are not (bacterial control using viruses is a good example of lack of funding meaning lack or results in an extremely useful resource).

I have zero tolerance for people that spread ideas about health that have zero science or peer reviewed research to back it up to massive followings, especially when those followings have largely younger and impressionable fanbases. I agree with your comments toward the end about this possibly being a sort of trauma response to her infertility/etc, but of course we can't diagnose her with anything as that's between her and her mental health professionals (if she's seeing any). But her whole vibe lately has been off and this was the final straw for me.

[@jessicastraw6593]

Tati may have a condition that responds well to Keto. There are medical conditions which do (and how Keto was even created). That’s basically what she’s saying when she says her body is responding well to higher protein and fat. Also, yes, there can be lots of bad things in tap water. Look at Flint Michigan. In my city our water tastes really sulfury so who knows what crap is actually in there. Not saying her pseudoscience isn’t nonsense but giving the benefit of the doubt that there could be logic behind what she’s saying, and she’s just saying it very poorly.

[@heredianna2496]

I agree 100%. I have not watched her video so if she was only speaking about herself yes there are people who are having issues with ingesting some vegetables. To be honest in most cases it's because they were eating way to much of it, or too much of the same vegetable, ot too much of certain raw vegetables like raw spinach which has a high level of oxalate when not cooked. So it's not a good thing to eat too much of it raw, especially for certain people who are more sensitive to it. As she explained she used to do like many people who thi k they found health a lot of veggie smoothie which can explain a lot of things. Plus she did not say she does not eat veggies but less of it and overall more wholefood which everyone should do. Although her collagen powder is not really natural and wholefood either but that's another topic. I am currently studying to become a dietician in France and review a lot of nutrition research paper and what she said in the clip I saw at least can make sense for certain people. There is not one single way for everyone to eat healthy but there might be only one or 2 ways to eat healthy for one particular person.

[@amandawheeler539]

Ok. She is not wrong about the WATER. The US has a clean water crisis and there is a database that shows what is in your water.

I want to preface my comment about Tati’s new mindset with an industry bias I have from working in molecular pathology and having a neuroscience degree so I’m not blindly going ‘do you girl!’… but finding a diet that works for you can be like finding the answer that was hiding in plain sight in terms of improving your own quality of life, and being invested in the details about what you consume every day is one of the first steps to making better choices. A lot of the points she was elaborating on HAVE been scientifically explored and definitely not talking out of her ass. She never outright recommended that her choices are the best ones across the board or that not eating vegetables is the cure for PCOS or the secret to anti-aging or something. Sharing her experiences in a Q&A while making her reasoning clear and deferring to professionals for the information that she’s basing her choices off of is a more responsible way to discuss nuanced topics like diets, so I struggle with the idea that she’s pushing propaganda… especially she’s really not wrong about any of her anecdotes because she repeatedly makes it clear that she’s only speaking on her own experiences and wellness journeys are completely subjective. At the end of the day, I don’t think she should be scrutinized with such concern when she just shared what was making her feel better from an evidence-based perspective because people wanted to know. Also hindsight is always 20/20 so its definitely valid to think you had peaked x time ago and realize later that it wasn’t what you thought! (Side note: She’s not wrong about the connection between GI and neurological health, it has been heavily researched and proven that the digestive system and CNS play off of eachother. Additionally, being invested in vitamin and mineral bioavailability when changing your diet isn’t conspiratorial.)

[@mariapisu3591]

I was looking for a comment like this! I have been in med school for over 4 years and I totally understood what she meant when talking about a few topics. Some might be controversial but I appreciate the way she says it's her opinion. To me she's not coming across as if she's stating these things as facts. Also, I don't even know why she's been so criticised about the raw egg thing... if it's quality eggs from a local farm especially or also if they've been pasteurised. My mom used to put one raw egg in my milk when I was little, it's not always a bad thing. Just because something seems out of the ordinary it doesn't mean it's automatically cult topics and sometimes we also should do a bit of SOLID research before labelling things.

I’ve recently stumbled across this channel. The irony of Angelika having no more formal medical education than Tati but saying Tati spreads nutritional misinformation, followed by her own opinions of nutrition… I just saw a video of Angelika slamming Jeffree Star for a number of reasons that seem valid but one of them being his products are environmentally unfriendly and wasteful, then in this video proceeds to recommend powder puffs. Just an overall lack of self awareness. Also spreading misinformation about what being in a cult actually entails. This is an area I do have experience and education in. Caring about potentially dangerous chemicals in drinking water and changing from a vegan to more meat based diet, for personal reasons, does not signify cult practises. Tati has changed her spiritual beliefs, and this is the only issue raised that could indicate cult practice if, and it’s a big if, Angelika knew specifically what Tati’s new beliefs demand of her. Having to throw out tarot cards and crystals is pretty standard for most born again Christians. It’s not harmful to Tati’s mental and/or physical well-being.

So they needed a substitute for milk since drinking a warm cup of coffee and unwinding is such a part of the culture in Vietnam. Anyways, off topic.....

This compound is also synthesized in your liver, so there's no avoiding it, and most peoples kidneys are efficient at getting rid of them. But to counter her claim on *veggies have oxalates so veggies bad*, they also are formed from improper absorption of fats... so the lack of balance can also lead to oxalate "build up." Also yeah animal products have something plants don't saturated fats. The animal product diet isn't really sustainable long term for most people. Better hope her gallbladder doesn't give out, you need veggies and carbs to give your gallbladder a chance to emulsify and digest these fats or else your digestive system is really in for one and your risk of oxalate "build up" is the same, minus the benefits of fibers, vitamins, and heart healthy nutrients ... idk I'm just a year 3 bio major, but she sounds like the one patient we're cautioned about in each clinical study That's just my 2 cents, if anyone has more experience in the field and I got something wrong, school me please

As an Eastern European I'm kinda not surprised that there's a lot of huge EE names with this type of 'clean beauty' ideology bs, EE is full of it trust me, especially in that age group of women

umm so angelika as a parent of a child with special needs-...the gut can absolutely effect the brain and vice versa. We are one large organism and all of our organs are linked.. there have been studies on Candida (a yeast in your gut) and its effects on the brain. Candida is in gluten and its because of this so many parents were detoxing their kids off of candida with anti-fungals and gluten free diets.. i personally only implemented a GF diet for my daughter throughout her toddlerhood because of 'leaky gut' but i wont lie and say i didn't see a difference in my once lethargic child. it was like a fog had been lifted off her. anyway...i def think something is going on with Tati...i saw someone else mention how they speculate her infertility issues spiraled her down into a weird wormhole of sorts...and i agree..i think theres some fire to that smoke. I hope when/if you read this Abgelika--there is no tone inferred as i am just saying...you talk about how she isnt a 'nutritionist' and she spreads misinformation...but...ehh you kinda are as well.. on another note....your makeup looke absolutely stunning

She's always emitted huge Karen vibes, it's honesty not that surprising that she's going the "clean antivaxx" way

[@weeechloe]

She’s right about the gut and brain connection but not eating veggies?! What!

[@sydneym-y]

Tati is starting to sound like my Grandpa, who thinks the cure to COVID is ginger and garlic. He's also super religious and thinks Jesus was a fake messiah and it's a whole conspiracy. Like she fell down a rabbit hole of KZbin conspiracy theories and has watched so much, all of her recommended content is conspiracy theories about food and pesticides that don't harm humans.

[@lillypieisme]

A lot of people have that “everything is trying to kill us” mentality these days. I don’t think Tati is in a cult lol but she’s definitely been obsessed with health (which is not a bad thing) but she’s promoting this to her followers which makes it not okay. I think a lot of women go through gut issues and some of the things she’s said is true, being gluten-free and doing keto should help that but some of what she said is a bit out there lol I’m pretty sure our bodies know how to process veggies.

Whenever I hear people say that influencers shouldn’t share or promote opinions with their followers or on their platform, I am concerned. I don’t want to put words in your mouth, but when I hear these types of comments, they seem to promote censorship and come across like “people are too stupid to discern or discover facts on their own and will believe anything their favorite influencer says, therefore said influencer should shut up”. This may very well be true, but we can’t shield people from information simply because they’re too lazy to think for themselves. People are allowed to have their own opinions, no matter how wrong and we should be encouraging people to think more and be more mindful about the information they consume, not gagging people who say things we don’t agree with.

[@lillypieisme]

@@LadyVioIa I agree, I guess I didn’t word it correctly. I think she should be able to express her opinions on her channel, but there is misinformation that she fully believes in so she seems convincing. I think THAT is the part that is more concerning, not simply stating her opinions which she has every right to do. I love Tati and have been watching her channel since probably 2014 and I continue to watch her, but recently she’s been almost fear-mongering. Like her fear of “chemicals” in products is a bit misinformed and a lot of the “chemicals” do more good than harm for the skin. And now her speaking about how vegetables naturally contain chemicals that the body can’t break down. Many people will not do their own research and just stop eating vegetables or stop using their favorite products and etc. That is the only problem I think most people have with her opinions.

[@LadyVioIa]

​@@lillypieisme Thanks for your thoughtful reply and for clarifying your position. I understand where you’re going, but here is my beef: if everything Tati said was 100% factual and everyone agreed with her and her followers blindly followed her factual advice, no one would say anything, but we would still have the same problem. The problem being that most people are followers and don’t actually vet or verify the information they consume. Rebuking Tati for sharing erroneous or misleading information doesn’t actually fix the problem, because if it’s not Tati sharing questionable information, it is someone else and so if we go down this path of discouraging people from sharing opinions, we will always be basically policing or censoring speech (which is bad) instead of addressing the root cause. Instead of going after random people on the internet for disseminating their views, I think it’s much more beneficial to hold ourselves accountable for what we choose to consume media wise. We have to become more responsible and smarter instead of demanding that people on the internet walk on eggshells. I know that there are some young impressionable people on the internet (I have young daughters, so I’m speaking from experience), but shielding their eyes from certain ideologies doesn’t help them make informed decisions, it just makes it harder to discern fact from fiction when they inevitably encounter questionable content. I hope that makes sense.

[@lillypieisme]

@@LadyVioIa Yes of course the fault is on the person for not doing their own research and we should encourage people to think for themselves (which my generation has been hearing that phrase since childhood) but human nature comes to play. People will always follow and believe in the people that they trust. I’m personally not rebuking Tati and think she should stop speaking on her opinions and I hope others are not trying to silence her, but I think it is fair to point out that someone’s opinions are not factual and with a huge platform and audience, they should be more careful about what they “think” is factual and what actually is and putting that out there for their audience. Both sides of the coin have a right to speak and both have their good reasons.

Am I incorrect or is she doing KETO-diet? I mean it has scientific proof to work. Used also with some patients with epilepsy. So I wouldn't be worried about that - it works for some but not for everyone. :)
