The main general threat posed by nanoparticles, at least as described in the article, is inflammation. Exercise has an anti-inflammatory effect.
I don't understand why you think the content of the article being upsetting makes it fear-mongering. Sometimes it's appropriate to be worried about things! It's not as if the article is telling you to buy some miracle cure or make massive changes to your lifestyle.
- epistasis 7y agoI do not know the original poster and can not speak for them in any way. However I think it's under appreciated how much we resist changes to the way we live, such as living in ways that require less driving. Anything that threatens the "right" to drive, even by letting other people drive less, is met with a huge amount of resistance in my experience, an amount that I have not been able to understand in any other way.
- wongarsu 7y agoPeople who are well of are very resistant even to changes that don't directly impact them. Things are fine. Sure, if we change this things could improve, but what if they get worse. Poorer people often act similar for everything that touches their livelihood, but can often easily be sold on changing anything else. They have little to lose, and who knows, maybe driving all the Jews out of the country or building a wall over there does help after all. If it didn't help the individual person didn't lose much. Both behaviours are completely rational for each person, but lead to completely irrational behavior in aggregate.
