Yeah, Bret Weinstein mentioned something similar regarding lab mice in a Joe Rogan podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve4q-1D_Ajo https://www.youtube.com/

  The podcast he did with his brother Eric (The Portal #19) gives a very good history of the work he did as a grad student in finding that the telomeres of the lab mice supplied to US labs were elongated due the selective breeding process of producing as many mice as possible. The implications are quite alarming for existing testing and they talk about how he was basically ignored and the mice quietly fixed.

  > Bret Weinstein mentioned something similar Weinstein talks about how they are different and why it matters and how significant it is. Articles like this just talk about how it changes results. Mice aren't people. Cold mice are not hot mice. Stressed mice are not chilled mice. We need to be aware of this and this is a good article and it talks on how to action it, but Weinstein is making a case (right or wrong) for something different and more significant.
