It is also quite funny that they'll say "all your food is poisonous because it's got all these chemicals you can't even pronounce! The only cure is my 14-gamma-dichlorotetraacetylcystanolol pills derived from all natural hedgehog spleen"
The liver in particular has got amazing self-healing capabilities. You have to abuse it for an extremely long time and in extreme ways to get to a point of no return with it.
The kidneys on the other hand… Once those start taking damage it's pretty much permanent.
If you had to pick one organ to fail and kill you, kidneys are pretty rough too.
You have to be strict with your water intake or your legs will puff up like balloons, your lungs will drown, and your heart will give out because of the strain.
And that's just fluid balance, not including waste product buildup, electrolytes, etc
People are so allured by how something sounds that they throw their brain out the goddamn window. You know what gets toxins out of your body? Your fucking organs.
I mean staying well hydrated and drinking a good amount of water also helps because that's what your organs need to function properly. But it's crazy the percent of people who don't hydrate properly.
It does get a bit unhealthy when they only drink flavored water with lots of sugar and carbonation though (which a lot of people do). Hydration and moderation.
Hell yeah! I snort a line of Crystal Light every morning before I boof one of those squirt-in-your-drink thingimajigs, then I haul ass to the FBI headquarters to get my gender affirming testosterone treatment so I can bench 300 WITH MY DICK.
BAN DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE - THE INVISIBLE KILLER!
Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year.
What are the dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide?
Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there.
Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance.
For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.
Dihydrogen Monoxide Facts
is also known as hydric acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
contributes to the Greenhouse Effect.
may cause severe burns.
contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.
Dihydrogen Monoxide Alerts
Contamination is reaching epidemic proportions!
Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. In the midwest alone DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage.
Dihydrogen Monoxide Uses
Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
as an industrial solvent and coolant.
in nuclear power plants.
in the production of styrofoam.
as a fire retardant.
in many forms of cruel animal research.
in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
as an additive in certain junk-foods and other food products.
Stop the horror - Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide
Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!
THE HORROR MUST BE STOPPED!
The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its importance to the economic health of this nation. In fact, the navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use.
IT'S NOT TOO LATE!
Act NOW to prevent further contamination. Find out more about this dangerous chemical. What you don't know CAN hurt you and others throughout the world.
see, this food contains acetic acid, as well as large amounts of S-2 amino 3-phenylpropanoic acid! don’t eat it, its toxic! It even contains esters of glycerol and long chain carboxylic acids!
if you don’t understand, thats just Vinegar, an amino acid, and also a complicated way of describing fat molecules
this reminds me of a guy who went around asking people something along the lines of "should schools teach arabic numerals?" with majority answering "no"
these are the arabic numerals btw: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
I mean technically the arabic numbers are the arabic numbers. Now if it is the arab number system or the hindu-arabic number system we would be having a different conversation.
My favourite bit of trivia about arabic numerals is that they were the new, hot thing in English society in Shakespear's time. His surviving accounts use a mixture of roman numerals and arabic ones, and several of his plays include references to it, such as "like a cipher [the word then used for the digit 0] / Yet standing richly in place, I multiply / With one ‘We thank you’ many thousands more”
but like, 90% of the time theres nothing wrong with the ingredients, it just scares them because they don’t understand what (2E,4E,6E,8E)-3,7-dimethyl-9-(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-1-en-1-yl)nona-2,4,6,8-tetraen-1-ol is
I mean, they complain about fiber too. Anytime "cellulose" is included in an ingredient list you can bet there's gonna be a thousand short-form videos complaining about how "they're adding wood pulp to our food" and that it's "not real fiber."
wax isn't only used on cheese, or even predominantly, it's also used on stuff like produce where you DO eat the wax but also both beeswax and plant waxes are completely fine to eat
Sole apple also have wax on them to make them look more shiny and stay good looking longer. That melt away visibly when hot water is poured on them. It's absolutely non toxic. Just dosn't give anything as nutritional value.
Also the cheese's wax used are legaly forced to be the same. That's why you can eat babybel's red wax without problem exept the teast. (As a legal thing, refer to your local law on food befor trying to eat wax)
We do put wax on food like fruit to protect them from outside stuff and to prevent moisture loss. All wax used on food products legally has to be edible though. Look at what they do with apples and cucumbers for example.
Listen mate. I don't know or understand what all them fancy words on the label are so that means they're bad and this food is bad. Now buy my $399.99/mo product so you can be healthy too!
It's not "technically" a preservative - it's the oldest and most widely used preservative worldwide, for millennia. It is *The* Preservative. And it's healthy (in moderation).
Yeah, but it is relative and getting excess salt in your diet is easy. Their comment makes it seem like salt can do no wrong just because we've been using it for a long time.
It doesn't. But there is a healthy middle-ground somewhere between the extremes of being afraid of all salt (ooh sodium scary foreign word) and adding a fistful of salt into every meal like my grandpa.
Liam made me realise that if you got no eating problems you can just get away with a lot of sweets as long as you balance your meal diet and exercise well.
I really like Liam's content. It's helped me have a better relationship with food. Everything in moderation. Have what you want, add what you need. No food is inherently bad food.
His name is Liam, goes by @plantslant2431 on YouTube. I don't think he is a doctor himself, but he does his research and often cites actual doctors while debunking stupid health scams.
Oh I see. Thanks for correcting me. I didn't see anything about his profession in his YouTube bio so I assumed he is just a guy who does his research well.
Ehh, not to suggest that it means that he doesn't know what he's talking about, but nutrionists aren't doctors. It's a job description rather than a qualification. You're thinking of dieticians.
The kind that goes 100% unprocessed food, you should eat your chicken raw, drink your milk unpasteurized, use beef tallow as sunscreen, shampoo, and lube
And push untrue claims such as preservatives will kill you and murder your Grandma, and Vitamin A will steal your spouse
If I am going to eat something, I prefer if it had FDA approved amounts of preservatives instead of a mysterious bacteria orgy
Someone I know is constantly like this with everything they’re always like chemicals means bad. We should do things the natural way. I often find it very difficult to not say anything.
"reheating frozen stuff in the microwave is actually bad because the microwave uses radiation! and make your food radioactive!!! but if you cover your food in aluminum foil then the food wont become radioactive!"
I remember looking up recommended protein bars on Reddit and half the posts I saw had some dumbasses always going "Don't buy them, full of chemicals and preservatives", as if you're going to be guzzling down 10 per day.
When I have them info est like 4-8 a day 🙂↕️ but also there's nothing wrong with "chemicals". Honestly the excess protein is gonna do worse than the preservatives will 😂
How health influencers look at you when you don't buy their detoxing citric juice (it's literally just bland lemonade that costs twice as much as it normally does).
There’s a podcast I listen to that occasionally makes the bizarre foods health influencers try to pass as being great
The most recent one was a protein peanut butter, but the fucked up thing about it was that it was insanely runny, so their sandwiches were just soggy after a few bites
It’s like that lady who’s obsessed with lead, which is a serious health concern, and goes around scanning stuff but doesn’t understand how cross contamination works when handling things she’s trying to measure.
You hate SOME health influencers. There are some that actually try to teach you usefull stuff, the problem is that ragebait and fearmongering is way easier to gain an audience with.
no, that kind of tracks. whole foods are underrated for youngins. like if you can get the same or better food for no effort, do that. for instance instead of getting grocery store guac I get grocery store pico and add my own avacado and salt. Yes, it won't keep in your fridge for 6 months if you don't open it , but it'll taste good. imo same with cakes and other food. less processed foods just tatse better.
My problem is that health influencers will make a video saying that ten foods are bad because they are ultra processed and have preservatives and then make another video telling you about "good" products that have preservatives still. like, come on. that's just me being crunchy though. I just don't like shelf stable gas station food on an emotional level unless it's jerky.
As someone who studied this let me tell you this is complete BS, yes some of these components have hazards on health (IF IT USED IN HIGH QUANTITY) this why if these health ifluencers could read they would see it is used in approximately 0.1/0.5 grams for a reason lol, or if so it would be never save to have any canned food but what do I know in comparison of ifluencers diploma 😒
Why do they think there’s preservatives in the food? Some big conspiracy to make people sick? Or maybe, just maybe, mold isn’t good for you, so if you can stop mold from growing on people’s food, less people eat mold and get sick.
Health influencers when you actually show them a 100% wild fruit/vegetable. (All fruits and vegetables you see in the market have been under a heavy crossbreeding process to trim out the unwanted parts of the fruit)
I hate anyone obsessed with healthiness of the food. It's fine to eat healthy. But it's totally not fine to make it your entire personality and create chaos in your (and other people's) life just for it. "Oh no, this product contains 4 more callories that I can eat today! I guess I will starve...". And the real party poopers are those who would refuse to eat cake, not because they don't like it, but because "it's too much calories". Man. You go to a birthday, you eat cake. Your life won't suddenly crash if you eat a slice or two.
Reminds me of a person that claimed that sort of stuff and they were selling tiny bottles of "grass fed cow Brain capsules" for like 80 dollars. Still unsure if that stuff has many benefits
I used to be like this with food, and my family specifically my parents, and native plants. "you can't eat that, it has high fructose corn syrup" while drinking of Nun's Fart DEIPA 11% beer..."don't plant that wild flower, its not a local native ecotype, its from a different region" while smiling at my non-native tea olive bush-tree that smells incredible.
I eventually realized how much of a hypocrite I've been. After leaning in and reflecting, learning some, etc. now I've realized that perfection cna't be the enemy of good.
Live and learn, educate others if they ask for it, listen first and speak later, etc. etc.
Health influencers drive me nuts because they highlight some specific shit on camera, but you know they're human too and drink wine or beer or soda or too much coffee or some other unhealthy eating/drinking habits
Preservatives aren't inherently bad obviously, but let's not pretend that the food additives that were literally banned in the EU won't harm you at all.
