It has nothing to do with coffee, tobacco and meat per se and everything to do with how coffee, tobacco and meat is prepared for human consumption. It is the pyrolytic processes which form harmane from amino acids.

Explain how we keep treating essential tremor as a disease of the elderly to be managed with CNS depressant drugs, when we have known for decades the disease is entirely caused by a single substance (harmane) which can be mostly avoided by stopping coffee, tobacco and meat consumption?

At the same time, a defense contractor, whose name rhymes with ”top speed carting”, is running sci-fi ads with the tagline ”Ahead of ready”.
You don’t think they have built that public image themselves?
