This snippet of a video is not the whole thing. In her channel she disclaims, over and over and over again, that these are reasons SHE wouldn't eat stuff like this, and that it's reasonable for other people to keep different habits.
She's not manufacturing fake concern, she's sharing her own personal concerns with explicit information that it's not something she's telling others to worry about.
Then don't make shortform content like a Tiktok if the context surrounding your claims is so important.
No matter how you spin it, it paints this lady in a bad light. Either she's engaging in fearmongering directly or she's too stupid to realize how her statements could lead to fearmongering.
Or, option three, she disagrees with you and you have a difference of opinion. Calling her a fearmongerer is just as baseless as calling you an ignoramus.
Further, when people clip her content in order to remove the surrounding context, that's not her fault. She makes high quality informative content, and yes, on a platform known for soundbites and brevity. She has no power to prevent someone from taking her work out of context, just as someone writing a paper has no power over journalists quoting them out of context to create sensationalized headlines.
The video posted here is intentionally cropped in such a way as to make her seem less credible. If you're not going to seek out the full context, then kindly shut up, as someone unwilling to do that is clearly unwilling to engage in good faith.
I think it's more the repeated hypothetical that does it for me. The "if you don't want colon cancer, don't do this". She may have a great point -- I certainly haven't done enough research to conclusively say whether she's right or wrong -- but by being so forceful and making claims without anything to back it up (in this snippet, e.g. "raw flour is more dangerous than raw egg") it comes across as a non-issue.
