Mechanism mixing graviton spin states is defined. The mixing appears naturally due to loop corrections. Its influence on amplitudes involving matter states is shown, and implications for empirical data are discussed. It is argued that the mixing is one of the reasons behind an inability to define the universal running of the Newton constant.
