I’m listening to the livestream on Bret Weinstein’s channel and they are discussing data that states the opposite including data that shows a concentration in the ovaries.
At first glance that plot made me curious, but if you look at the raw data in the pdf, you can clearly see that whoever made the plot was trying to scare people.
They correctly plotted the total lipid concentration for a lot of things, including the ovaries (which stand out on the plot) but completely ignored the injection site (which might be reasonable, but gives a sense of scale), the adrenal glands (which have around the same content as the ovaries), liver (roughly double ), the spleen (a bit more than double).
I'm having a difficult time taking these omissions as anything other than an attempt to spread fear. As a non-expert in biology it seems reasonable that a lot of an injection into my body should ultimately end up in my liver and spleen. The attempt to obscure this probably-natural result (and instead focus on ovaries) is strange.
I’d be interested to see a source. I know of rat models that show a very small accumulation in ovaries, but these rats were afaik given doses in the range of 300x-1000x that of a human. And the accumulation in the ovaries or other regions was still incredibly small, despite the dosage given.
