Listen "SkeptiQuartz #05: Mucoid Plaque"
Episode Synopsis
In which I discuss the mythical medicine for "mucoid plaque"
Transcript:
Welcome to SkeptiQuartz. I’m your host Ari, here to debunk any pseudoscience I come across. Today, we’ll be debunking a particular kind of colon cleansing solution, which is supposed to remove a mythical substance known as "mucoid plaque". The way this "medication" works is by acting as a sponge, absorbing the contents of your bowels, and being excreted as a long, rubbery snake, thereby appearing to remove this "mucoid plaque". It has no function at all other than to suck money out of the wallets of gullible consumers with a large amount of disposable income.
If you have any refutations, shoot me a message at qsysmine.tk/feedback.
