Could you elaborate on why helium is considered not good? I've heard it's a lightweight, non-reactive gas with unique properties, but there seems to be some concerns surrounding its usage. Are there specific drawbacks in terms of its chemical stability, availability, or environmental impact? Perhaps there are economic factors that make it less favorable compared to other alternatives? I'd appreciate a detailed explanation of the reasons behind this sentiment.

As the helium gas fills the lungs, it initiates a diffusion gradient.

This is due to the fact that helium, being lighter than air, displaces oxygen molecules in the lungs.

As the helium diffuses into the bloodstream, it further compounds the problem by displacing oxygen at the cellular level.

Consequently, with each inhalation of helium, oxygen is expelled from the body.
