Amazon has a poisonous quackery problem.

Time to call it out. 🧵

#1 "Apricot kernel powder" is anti-cancer quackery.

It is converted by your body into... CYANIDE. Make a smoothie & get poisoned.

Lots of it Amazon. Even an "Amazon's Choice"
#2: Drinking paint thinner.

Turpentine is poison. Can cause brain & kidney damage, coma, death.

It is a also quack cancer etc. cure. Yet plenty of it is clearly being sold in "food grade" form, recommended & drunk.

Again, there's even an "Amazon's choice"
#3 Drinking Bleach.

Lots of "water purification" products that match the ingredients of the quack "miracle Mineral solution" aka bleach.

From questions & reviews it's clear that people are drinking the stuff.

Drinking bleach is as toxic as it sounds.
#4 Drinking acid.

More quackery. Hydrochloric acid will burn your skin & mouth, is harmful if inhaled, and is literally a hazmat.

Also, it may dissolve your teeth.

Again an Amazon's Choice..
Context on #3 Amazon tried to block quack "miracle mineral solution" drinking bleach, so the MMS community uses "water purification" as a workaround.

Purifying water w/chlorine can be legit but Amazon customer questions & reviews make the MMS use clear.

Amazon should not be a safe space for poisoners.

Hawking quack cures & questionable supplements is the business model for many anti- #vaccination & #COVID19-denialists

More revenue = more misinformation.
These @amazon-sold poisons are the last stage of a pipeline that often begins with promotion on other platforms.

By continuing to be sold on Amazon, they make peddling quackery & misinformation easier & more lucrative.
