KSI’s “Prime” Buyout Sparks Global Ban: Supermarkets Lock Up Genetic Boosters Linked to Teen Heart Scares
LONDON—In a move that has sent shockwaves through the health and tech worlds, content creator KSI’s latest venture—a controversial genetic optimization drink dubbed “Prime X”—has been pulled from shelves across three continents after internal data leaked showing it manipulates mitochondrial performance in minors. A new study confirms that 1 in 4 teens who consumed the beverage exhibited altered heart rhythms within 48 hours. While KSI’s team argues the product was intended for professional athletes, the European Food Safety Authority has already instituted an immediate ban, calling it “the most aggressive unregulated biohacking product to hit the consumer market in a decade.” As parents storm supermarkets and lawmakers demand transparency, KSI remains silent, leaving millions to wonder: Is this the end of influencer-backed health fads, or the beginning of a dystopian new market where YouTube fame trumps human safety?
