“On next weeks episode …. how bananas 🍌 extend your life span and why you should be eating them daily “ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
yup, wouldnt surprised me. i recently heard about lectins, oxalates, and the rest. soon there'll be nothing left to eat
She's another vegetable police
100%
I am sure Gorillas, and Monkeys will prov e her wrong sooner than later
Hi dudes
“Why i stopped eating”
I stopped eating bananas and started smoking cigarettes instead. 0 polyfenaloxidates
BASED and testosterone pilled
smart move
Yup
Next video: “Why I stopped drinking water”
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Or breathing air
Because of Banana's I stopped eating products with added sugar to them and my health has improved tremendously
Next video : why I stopped breathing oxygen
Tune in next week for ‘Dr Rhonda Patrick: Why I Was Wrong on Bananas!’ So it goes 😂😂😂
How about the oxalates in spinach added to smoothies?
I want to make a few points and a small correction to what Rhonda mentioned:
First, the enzyme in question, Polyphenol Oxidases (PPO), is in ALL fruits that brown, not just bananas, such as apples, mangos, and avocados. So her suggestion of substituting with avocados would not work.
Second, I read the paper and it did not cover a wide culinary use of bananas and PPO effects. It purely uses fresh bananas mixed with a polyphenol source and that's it. The reason why the lack of other foods as well as preparation methods is important is because there are natural PPO enzyme inhibitors and deactivation methods. You can in fact verify this by doing experiments on sliced apples to prevent browning.
A variety of acids -- ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), citric acid (citrus juices), ascetic acid (vinegar) -- all inhibit PPO enzyme. Salt also interferes with the oxidation process.
Cooking from microwaving to dehydrating also deactivates the enzyme. Have you ever noticed that those apple, mango, etc chips or dried fruit you purchase NEVER browns?
The amino acid L-cysteine also inhibits PPO, so you can also mix in some L-cysteine powder or open some capsules into your smoothie. Sources:
scholar.google.com/scholar_lookup?journal=Indian+J.+Chem.+Technol.&title=Reversible+inhibition+of+polyphenol+oxidase+from+apple+using+l-cysteine&author=R.N.+Gacchea&author=A.M.+Shete&author=N.A.+Dhole&author=V.S.+Ghole&volume=13&publication_year=2006&pages=459-463&

"Cysteine as an inhibitor of enzymic browning. 2. Kinetic studies"
Furthermore, when PPO reacts polyphenols, the full oxidation process does not occur immediately, it occurs in two steps. First the polyphenol oxidase reacts with the polyphenols to form quinone compounds before reacting with air to form melanin (enzymatic browing), and it's uknown whether these polyphenol quinones have biological activity. For example as an analogy, you know how larger protien molecules are broken down to peptides, which can (but not always) be broken down to amino acids? Each one can still have biological effects, and a researcher may miss out on specific amino acid effects by only looking for metabolites of peptides (which is what this paper on bananas is doing--looking only for metabolites of the polyphenols). I've found out the same applies many other nutritional food compounds, that enzymatic reactions on those compounds, while forming different compounds can still have biological effects. Again, this is something unknown specifically for PPO reacted polphenol derived quinones but I think it's something worth investigating.

I'm with you on almost everything, but the dried fruit that you buy never brownes because they are covered in syrup, otherwise they are not presentable for sale because almost all of them go brown. In the ingredient list for those there should be only one ingredient listed - the fruit itself, no sulfur, no preservatives etc.
@@olgaskold6213 All I can say is that I have dried mangos that are just mangos, no sugar or preservatives, both normal dehydrated and freeze-dried that are past expiration date and have kept their color without browning a bit. Same with dried bananas--there is an some browning from the factory from the initial drying process, which involves some exposure to air of course, but it has never continued to brown after that like a fresh banana would
I LOVE how done ppl seem with the constantly conflicting, nutritional overload. I'm right there, it's refreshing to know I'm not the only one.
I’m here for the comments
I'm here for the comments because I'm 1/3 throughout the video and still don't get what is she yammering about 😅
She puts kale in her smoothie 😂 Kale sucks, we shouldn't be eating kale I agree with Paul Saladino
I can’t trust Saladino at all. Is it just me? He feels like a fraud.
She should have taken out the Kale from the banana smoothie. Saladino was right.
@@lifestyleblockhead so this women saying bananas arent good for you. You can trust? Its ludacris to say bananas are bad for.
@@nakuma33 just said try not to have them alongside a high polyphenol meal. Reduce the blunting. Is this not a logical conclusion?
Bananas are great in my opinion, but if this study is to be trusted, I would agree with Rhonda.
@@lifestyleblockhead The entire carnivore community is a fraud. Chaffee is the worst lol
I’ll add yellow 30 instead of bananas 👍
She also has kale in her smoothie, which has been shown to be high in thallium (A heavy metal)....Isolating all of these little enzymes and compounds, without seeing the whole beneficial package deal of a food, is not seeing the objective truth.
Smoothie free since 2020. Plus, banana is not a good source of potassium. Get you some lamb.
I'll never stop eating bananas. They are usually the first thing I eat every day along with some eggs.
Smokers never stopped smoking, so stay stupid
Agreed 💯
Smokers never stop smoking
me too, my father ate at least 6 bananas daily. I eat about 2 or 3. usually while cooking my breakfast waiting for the eggs or meat to cook. its cheap good high potassium foods.
Yes but the study was not about, don’t eat bananas, it was not to combine it with berries. 😉
No one is saying to never eat bananas. I think she’s giving a very interesting reason to consider using a different base for your smoothies. Personally, I’ll still eat my bananas, but I am not interested in negating the benefits of the blueberries in which the primary reason I eat them is for the anthocyanins in the first place. Have respect, please.
This video should have included more information about how modern bananas have been genetically modified to be much bigger and sweeter. Real bananas are half the size and much less sweeter
You put a clickbate title then, you'll have to deal with it
You put a clickbait title, deal with it
LOL !
lighten up ..
Thanks for repeating what we had to endure 10 minutes of Rhonda talking about... everybody's joking .
They're just having fun with it ...😅
Have a great day
Yeah and yo mama wears army boots

He’s trolling up to this point he has to be lol
“Lol. I don’t blame you. So many No” foods.
With all due respect, you’re really reaching here. I do not demonize many foods at all. And also, this is a credible expert explaining why she makes an interesting choice to not combine bananas with berries. It’s perfectly reasonable and real.
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial I get it bro, but it feels like every other video is telling us why a common ‘healthy’ food is bad for us.
I'd rather die from bananas than listening to this woman talk 😂
good luck with that
Depends where you stuff them.....😮
Carry on then!
That's because your basic comprehension is alarmingly low. She wasn't saying don't eat bananas.
She’s going bananas
Watching this as I’m consuming a banana blend smoothie 😂😂
Me too!! 😂 🍌
Avocados and bananas have different nutritional profiles, but they both offer health benefits. Avocados are higher in healthy fats and fiber compared to bananas. While avocados can provide similar benefits in terms of stabilizing blood sugar levels due to their fiber content, they offer different nutrients. Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats, which are heart-healthy, while bananas are a good source of potassium and vitamin C. Incorporating both into your diet can provide a diverse array of nutrients. 😮🍌🥑 👌🙏
Agree... it comes down to your results..
Yup she's probably not eating healthy fats getting brain fog and is blaming the bananas for it.
fruits dont stabilize blood sugar. They ARE blood sugar. Use less words next time. it doesnt suit you
Oh because some lady says so I'm gonna stop eating bananas 😂❤🍌❤
The point is to not eat bananas WITH polyphenols and/or don't eat nanners every day..Nanners are still great in a lot of ways, and no one is trying to say otherwise....
She is only saying to avoid bananas if you want to benefit from particular polyphenols.
It’s true. Interesting studies that Banana blocks the absorption of the nutrients when eaten together.
@@dh2558 studies, shmudies🤣 I mean didn't they just gaslight the entire planet into wearing a mask in the grocery store?
Something tells me she suffers from the Trump Syndrome 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
To counteract the effects of the high oxilates in yellow bananas in a smoothie is to add some type of milk or creme, the same with beets, high in oxilates...so I add organic cultured milk kefir or greek yogurts...for chard or collard grrens when cooked add grass fed butter...to lower or eliminate oxilates. Green bananas which is a prebiotic, i cook it and add it to my meals. Its high in potassium, magnesium and a prebiotic food..cooked green bananas makes your gut healthy n feels good....I grew up eating whole food, no processed foods, we cooked and prepared all our meals and my mom and grandma always spoke of the benefits of certain foods and why we should eat it.. oxilates in beets, chard, collard greens, maka root, kale and ripe bananas, adding cream of any kind or butter eleviates the adverse effects....but i only use organic milk kefir, greek yogurt or grass fed butter...hope this helps...there are studies done on the effects of high oxilate foods and how to eleviate the negative effects... these studies are found especially in the cultured food communities online...one more thing...the negative effects it has on our body once consumed was right side pain....and this only happen when I add these beets, kale or Maka root to my smoothie...then after resesrching and adding the milk kefir or greek yogurt to my smoothie eleviated the pain.
She is not talking about oxalates in the bananas she is pointing out that the enzyme in the banana blocks the absorption of the polyphenols in other fruit, basically the whole point of eating berries etc.

I like to put my bananas in the freezer for smoothies I will continue Thx anyway
These insights are absolutely fascinating. I also really like that an alternative (avocado) was suggested for our smoothies.
I would appreciate it if the paper was noted by name in the discussion. I'm off to check the description in the hope I can find it! ETA: no luck finding a citation
Ι eat one banana everyday, they are great
I'll never stop eating bananas!!
Yeah, that's gonna be a no from me dawg.
3 months from now, you'll be making a video about how good bananas are .
I can't let my wife see this video, I don't want her to get smart like Rhonda and stop eating my banana..
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Bananas.
Next, Be careful with which oxygen you breathe. I drink Perri-air 😂
I am genetically prone to arrhythmias, and last time when I was on a keto diet (of course I didn't eat bananas) my arrhythmia returned after a long time. I know that potassium is a very important item in the diet, and with the avocado I ate, it was insufficient. Long story short, I broke the keto diet by eating literally two bananas and my arrhythmia stopped shortly after.
Unfortunately, keto is not for me, and bananas are my salvation from arrhythmia. After that, I ate bananas every day for years and my arrhythmia never returned.
Smart
IMO there's no way people purely on keto or carnivore diets are actually getting the recommended 4,000 mg of potassium. And the more sodium you consume the more potassium (along with water) you need to balance it. My own focus is on potassium over sodium, especially in light of the "consume more salt!" trend, since I have salt sensitivity, which like you, I've confirmed with a genetic test.
IMO "smoothies" are the problem because we don't chew them.
Okay, a lot have misunderstood what this video was about. It wasn’t to stop eating bananas, but not to combine it with berries or any high flavonoid foods bc then the banana degrades the purpose of the flavonoids in those berries/food.
Keep eating bananas, in moderation like everything else, just don’t combine it with high flavonoid foods to get the benefits from the flavonoids. 😉
Thanks for just repeating what we already had to endure 10 minutes of Rhonda telling us. Everybody's making jokes about it..😂 Don't take it so seriously. Have a great day
@@nobombs8784 …nah, reading the comments, most didn’t honestly understood or didn’t even watched it.
I posted a comment about how to very easily migigate the effects of the enzyme in bananas on polyphenols or flavanols. One flaw of the study is that it purely used fresh bananas with a polyphenol source and nothing else instead also experimenting what food scientists have known for some time to inhibit or deactivate the polyphenol oxidase enzyme aka how to prevent enzymatic browning.
of course, avocado, at least 3 times the cost of a nana.........I found it funny to hear Dr. Rhonda Patrick say that bananas need to stop getting put into smoothies, then I pictured kids being killed in Gaza and realized how ridiculous it is.
People are starting to sound neurotic about food. Fear about everything these days. Good lord!
Hey Thomas! How about some day in the life videos, full day of eating, workout videos diet trail and error, the scientific videos are getting overwhelming I enjoy learning but these are getting tough to watch over and over haha thanks Thomas! Would love to see those videos to pick ideas of how your staying in shape what your doing daily, so maybe I can pick a few things and apply them!
Too high in oxilates!! No spinach, kale etc.
Just as I'm about to make a smoothie with 1/2 a frozen banana 🤣
So now we have a 10 minute video about not eating bananas.
Yep, I guess it's hard to keep up and you gotta construct content if you wanna post a video everyday.
By adding water to your ice flavored ice smoothie makes the best ice flavored water smoothie you can make at home with 2 simple ingredients.
While bananas do contain natural sugars, they also have fiber, which helps slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream. Eating bananas as part of a balanced diet can contribute to stable blood sugar levels, but it's essential to pair them with other foods that provide protein and healthy fats for optimal balance and sustained energy throughout the day. 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌 😋😋
one question comes to mind: What is you use a vacuum blender instead of a regular blender? Vacuum blenders cause less oxidation.
Potassium-40 isotope radiation…in bananas. Damn’d if you do-Damn’d if you don’t! Everything in moderation…
my grocery store sells Ungassed bananas. that's what i buy.
@@loneranger7573 I will look into that!
Do golden beets have the enzyme as well, or just purple?
I still incorporate them into my shakes but I respect her decision. Thanks for the info as always.
I put organic peanut butter contains only peanuts and organic orange blossom honey on bananas. Is that wrong?
Well yeah because omega 3 from peanuts and other carbs causes you to have a unbalanced omega3/ omwga6. To many omega 3 blocks the absorption of onega6.. in other words you get a lot of omega3 in many different carbs. But not omega6. 6 Peanuts won't hurt you. You consume way more than that using Peanut butter . That's why I'm never eat peanut butter. Just another processed food stay away.
Good lord. No, don't stop eating Bananas.
she didnt say stop eating bananas
@@StreetTruckinTitan congrats. I didn't say she did. 🥰
Questionz: How quickly are the flavanoids absorbed after consumption? (in the colon as I understand) Will eating a banana "after" the berries leave the stomach (in 20 mins) later catch up to the berries in the gut before flavanoid absorption thus causing the same effect?
I would assume that eating a banana first & then waiting an hour would still have the same effect since the berries would meet the banana in the colon before having a chance to absorb the flavanoids?
Videos like these are starting to affect this channel's credibility.
Good morning,
Sounds like you may not have watched the video. I find that she gives a very credible reason as why to not mix bananas with other polyphenols.
She’s very well researched and respected and gives a respectful reason as to why she’s cutting them out.
However, your perspective is your perspective and I appreciate/respect that.
She's over analyzing the chemical properties of a natural food counteracting another food. Bananas are high in potassium and magnesium . I frequently grab a banana with yogurt to make an electrolyte when feeling low on energy .
So, she'll stop bananas but include kale?
I’m concerned more about kale than I am bananas., because kale is high on oxalates and bananas are low . She must not know the heath affects of oxalates that create crystals through out the organs and skin.
Be like Rhonda. Stop eating bananas and get weird shots.
At this point this is why people dont like to take nutritional advise, as a major in Dietetics i would say these over obsession in this minor dietary issues is a sign of a mental disorder with food, your going to cut out bananas cause it going to destroy all of your polyphenols in the berries Really? Sometimes people just want a delicuous satiating smootie just to keep their sanity as it pertains to a possible strict diet while being conscious and not obsessive about what goes in it. She here talking about promoting neurogenesis like oh yes this is what is going to keep my brain healthy till i am 200 years old..stop this nonsense. People eat your bananas, its one thing to say change your diet from eating ultra processed foods to eating whole foods than to say oh remove banana from your diet or else your neurons wont generate. Lady get a life
everytime my dad eats in chinese restaurants that uses msg, his blood pressure shoots up from 150 to 170+ and eating banana significantly stabilizes his blood pressure because the potassium from banana reduces the salt level in the body.
how long after the smoothie am I allowed to eat banana?
Bananas also contain fiber, which may reduce blood sugar spikes. In addition to starch and sugar, a medium banana contains 3 grams of fiber ( 3 ). Everyone, including people with diabetes, should try to eat enough dietary fiber because it has potential health benefits.
I only take in calories when i use them. If im sitting at home inactive, i do not take in calories ( very low and precise). But i only supply clean calories when im burning them ( daily exercising and working out ). Not over or under calories that dont match any active or unactive living. Precise preserving.
Can you still eat a banana on the same day you have a smoothie? If so, how long before or after would be best?
Fuck what one woman out of 4 billion says.
She stopped because her whole life is one big nutritional experiment 😂
She is trying to Einstein the mathematical equations of polyphenols to sugar ratios for the perfect biohack chemistry of all time. With her great bioengineering skills she will never be beaten and will be able to take over the world.
I've heard also that milk or yogurt neutralize the polyphenols in berries.
Thanks for another awesome video T.DL!
Vicious in the comments today! Youch
Did you see the title and the thumbnail?? All this is deserved, if you play with clickbaits you have to deal with it if it backfires
I use an organic apple or applesauce as a base for my morning berry smoothies, but still eat a banana just about every day at lunch. Seems like a good compromise.🤔

Excellent interview on the science with this excellent very intelligent educated women. Lots of these people in the comments clearly dont understand this isnt just any women or person for that matter this is a phd graduate with published research that has been peer reviewed. They are living at a higher standard then most of us can yes but they have information that can be valuable to anyone capable of learning and keeping up with the changes in research and science.
You just don't get it. Can't you see the irony?
@@TheSilverGate no I don't cus I believe in the science. I haven't eaten bananas in a long time. I live a keto lifestyle and hope to be as healthy and self controlled as Thomas is one day. I admit most people don't have that kind of willpower but it doesn't mean the science isn't real or that the information doesn't have merit. It's all about nuance and doing what is right for you individually.
I refuse to stop eating pure, whole foods that man has been eating since creation
Yeah except if you look at what Bananas looked like before we genetically modified them to taste like candy … do your research. Think outside the box. Bananas were barely edible.
These are not the same bananas. You have read and realize scientists are turning everything into candy, coffee flavors, creamers, yogurt, and fruit is all genetically modified, chemically flavor enhanced garbage.

Guess I'll have my polyphenols spaced away from my bananas. My intuition tells me this is more for hyper-specific optimization as opposed to general healthy practice.
I knew this! I knew this about the polyphenoloxidase in bananas. So I was concerned about cooking with bananas. But I found out that the enzyme is deactivated by heating it up above around 60°C. So it won't destroy the polyphenols from a supplement, for example, that you take at the same time.
By the way, here's my recipe for pancakes:
1 banana
4 eggs
1.5 big spoons of tiger nut flour
But why u telling us about her choice ?? We love banana and we add it in our shake in morning and evening too
It’s not about never eating bananas; it’s about not adding them to a smoothie containing blueberries and raspberries, because the banana contains a substance that interferes with the benefits you get from the berries.
So eat your bananas separately.
Yes !
we know !
Thanks for repeating what we had to endure listening to Rhonda...... lighten up and learn how to take some jokes..... you can have all the bananas you like. 😂
Have a great day
I really couldn't care less what Dr. Ronda says, what she doesn't eat, what she doesn't do and what she has changed her mind about....
She has been badly wrong on the super VID juice and lost all credibility for me
I cook the banana often as a base for pancakes or baking something.
Not only did I stop drinking water, I stopped breathing air… so bad for you! 😂

I like the idea of replacing it with that green thing but dang
I have INTENSE intolerance to Salicylates. So I add a Banana to my meal when I have a moderate salicylate food. I find it helps to block the absorption so that I do not react to the salicylate. All the fruits and veggies she listed would kill me.
This comment section is absurd. Why are you even watching nuanced, science-based nutrition content if you’re just going to get upset and reject it? Rhonda Patrick is as legit as they come, and this is honestly an interesting thing to know. No one is saying to never eat bananas again. But it’s worthwhile to be aware of PPO (polyphenol oxidase) so you can optimize your diet if you so choose.
What bothers her and does not suit her does not mean that it is the same for other people. I know a man who would die if he ate a strawberry. Does this mean strawberries are bad for everyone? Of course not.
P.S. if bananas are not perfect, the benefits of eating them definitely outweigh them.
@ This has nothing to do with someone having an allergy. This is about optimal nutrient timing, and it affects everyone equally. She's simply citing a study showing that the PPO in bananas degrades polyphenols. Obviously no one is forcing you to optimize your diet for the preservation of polyphenols, and you are not harmed by eating bananas and blueberries together. But just as you ideally wouldn't take calcium and iron together (calcium can inhibit iron absorption), knowing that bananas degrade the polyphenols in berries is helpful if you care about maximizing your polyphenol consumption.
Interesting. I stopped opening the window in my living room. Game changer.
No no no no no! Not bananas. Thanks for sharing, Tom. Credit to RP.
I stopped living
Question: So PPO in fruit oxidises i.e turns rhe fruit brown, banana, pear, AVOCADO, apple etc... so why did she swap out banana with avocado if they both have very high PPO levels?
Also, usually things eaten in a meal stop the one substance being studied from having a real world effect (looking at you G.I index!) So Im guessing having a banana blueberry smoothie with your lunch would nullity all the scary PPO and the polyphenols get through safely.... Thoughts, Rhonda?
Finally someone who also understand a bit more on the issue. I cite some ways to easily mitigate PPO enzyme in my comment ua-cam.com/video/B4GHsuo1hJg/v-deo.html&lc=UgyWHooMjN8HYVyGdzh4AaABAg but also wonder if the PPO reacted polyphenols, which form quinones, would themselves have biological effects that the researchers missed by only looking for metabolites of the original polyphenols / flavanols. The mitigation methods are well known for some time and easily verifiable by seeing if the method stops the fruit from browning, and I think my later point quinone compounds (before they turn to melanin) might be investigated by first doing in-vitro experiments on a variety of cells. It would be harder in-vivo if you didn't already know what to look for.
Thats why i dont mix fruits, instead eat them separately just like how I don't mix different meats!
Thomas I just can’t anymore, I’m just going to eat whatever I want. Everything is bad pretty soon Water will be bad grrrrrrr so frustrating
I eat 6 bananas every day for breakfast with 3-4 eggs and 16 ounces of peanut butter for high protein and i have no health issues whatsoever and im 42 .
This is unclear if the people were blending and immediately drinking, or if they were drinking pre-prepared smoothies. If you blend a banana and berry smoothie, and let it sit for a while, there is much more time for polyphenol oxidase to do it's thing, vs. blend and drink immediately?
In my comment, in addition to showing how to easily mitigate effects of polyphenol oxidase (PPO), with sources cited (cooking/drying/combining with cysteine or much more common is combining with acidic fruits all would mitigate PPO enzyme), and something you can verify at home on apples or banans or any fruit that browns, I postulated about how since PPO enzyme actually first reacts with polyphenols to form quinones (again see my citation in the comment; this is also something apparently well known among agricultural and food chemists) before the quinone compounds *then* react with air to form melanin -- basically the polyphenols are transformed to polyphenol-quinone compounds form before browning -- that if in this form--the form you get first from the smoothie without mitigating factors (pure bananas + berries) if you immediately drank it, it would still have biological effects. The researchers only looked for the metabolites of what would be the original polyphenols rather than any enzymatic reacted forms or other compounds. Most byproducts of fermentation and enzymatic reactions still have biological effects. One well-known quinone compound (also derived from fermentation or enzymatic reaction) is Pyrroloquinoline-Quinone aka "PQQ". More here: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8533503/
I stopped eating bananas recently simply because they are too high in carbs.
I live in tropicals and blueberries aren’t an option.
I felt that this talk is just overcooked. You can’t go wrong with seasonal fruits from your local markets.
I freeze my bananas and a lot of fruits before they go into my smoothies, does this have any blood spike lowering effect? 😆
What if we practice mindful banana eating does that lower my sugar spike?
😂 I just had banana and cocoa.
Big deal. Eat them when you're not after polyphenols, like before a workout.
I stopped breathing outdoor air and only breathe through an oxygen bottle because air has Oxidants, I think that everybody should stop breathing right away. And start buying oxygen bottles. I know where you can get a good deal my father sells oxygen bottles with refined and purified oxygen, NO Banana additives....
