BBC digs into the wellness peptide craze, leaves out the data side

BBC has a piece out on the "wellness peptide craze," basically framing it as people injecting drugs that haven't been through real trials. Fair to point that out, but the article leans hard on the "injecting drugs not approved for this" angle without giving much space to people who actually track their numbers and bloodwork.

What bugs me is the tone. It reads like anyone running BPC or GH fragments is being lumped in with the worst-case social media crowd. Most of the regulars on here are adults doing bloodwork, titrating slowly, and adjusting based on labs. That nuance just doesn't make the cut in mainstream coverage.

Curious how the rest of you read these writeups. Do they actually change how your family or doctor talks to you about it, or is it just background noise at this point?
