    Health scaremongering used to be mostly targetted at women, but now it’s muscled gym bros telling you to be afraid of using dryer sheets, and that spinach shrinks your balls.

    I guess it’s not surprising. Gym bros are suckers for pseudoscience. You can get them to believe anything if you just link a scientific paper that is even tangentially related to the subject, they won’t read it.

      Gym bros are mostly very insecure men who think that being strong and looking healthy will make people like them and women attracted to them. They are very vulnerable to being sucked in by pseudoscience.
