One of the things that makes me sad about garlic is that we have accidentally bred it to be incapable of forming seeds. Garlic, as it currently exists, is incapable of being anything but a clone of past generations. The danger of this is that garlic could be faced with a plague that wipes out the entire species. Careful botany could someday restore garlic to being a functional species, but we need to raise awareness of this danger.
I would love to see a tier list on teas, both herbal and non-herbal teas. I know it's a lot so maybe you could focus on specific regions or types of teas for each video. For example white or pu erh chinese teas, north american native plant teas, or African teas etc. I would love to see what you could do with those! Also both culinary and functional mushrooms/fungi. There are sooooo many good things going on with mushrooms people need to know how good they really are!
I would love to see a Sugars Tier List. Comparing white granulated sugar vs. Brown Sugar vs. Honey vs Syrup Vs Artificial sweeteners etc. Kinda just find out if any of the above have any redeeming micronutrient value.
@@alindeac6371 Sucralose is really bad though, just google "sucralose gut health", plenty of trustworthy sources show up. The others I wouldn't worry about.
Erythritol, mannitol, acesulfame K, psicose/allulose. Unfortunately, a lot of "sugar free" foods use maltitol, which has the highest glycemic index and quite a few calories for a 'substitute' or 'alternative'.
You could get a full work up done and then eat lots for a few weeks and get another full work up. Thay would give you some information. If you do please share.
@@QuetzalcoatlOdinI have more complete info on the phytochemistry and constituents of these spices (I already went deep into all these in my pharmacognosy research). If anyone wants any more info on the pharmacology including neuropharmacology of the spices constituents just let me know.
Vanilla is also pretty cool when you consider that vanillin, the thing that makes vanilla… vanilla, is extremely chemically similar to capsaicin, the spicy molecule
I would love to see a sweetener tier list from you. I know it's a bit different from what you usually do, but there's so much confusion among all the different types of sweeteners and their adverse effects. Great videos, keep up the good work 🫶
But what exactly would we be ranking? Not only do different sweeteners have different micronutrient profiles, but they also have different effects on glycemic index and dental health among other things. Furthermore, ranking artificial sweeteners in particular is both hard and will be inherently controversial. The sugar industry has a long history of supporting studies of very questionable soundness against them. This greatly obfuscates their potential problems or lack thereof. Any tier list including them will inherently garner criticism simply because the creator of said tier list will have to make a judgement call on which studies to take seriously. He will either be derided as a crunchy granola chemophobic fool who uncritically parrots every bad study ever written about artificial sweeteners, or he will be a paid shill for the chemical industry that makes said artificial sweeteners. There is no winning when you rank artificial sweeteners.
@@sathvamp1 See now this is the kind of response I expected on UA-cam. Your comment implies very strongly that you are the first type of person I described. This “rule of thumb” is nothing more than chemophobic Puritanism disguised as “health consciousness.” And this so called divide between “synthetic” and “natural” compounds is itself entirely artificial. The idea that all “synthetic” chemicals are bad solely because they’re “synthetic” is based more on the idea of original sin than any sort of coherent logic or biology. It also absurdly implies that anything natural must be good, as if plant toxins and poisons don’t exist. Why, if natural things can be both good or bad, should synthetic things only be bad? You do not and cannot have a coherent answer to that question, just vigorous hand waving attempting to justify what might as well be religious dogma.
@@sathvamp1 This idea that “synthetic” chemicals must be bad solely because they are synthetic makes no sense whatsoever. As far as your body is concerned, there is no difference between Stevia glycosides and something like Sucralose (or any other artificial sweetener), both are equally “foreign” regardless of their origin as either “natural” or “synthetic” respectively. And any positive or negative effect they may have has nothing to do with their origin or the manner of their creation.
ive been taking saffron extract for years to combat my chronic depression and it has helped SO MUCH, discovering this spice for its anti depressive benefits has been a life saver! i suggest anyone to try it who doesn't want to use an SSRI or doesn't respond properly to those. downside is that it is rather expensive
I remember the first time I tasted parsley as a lil girl. I wondered why the hell it is used as a garnish when people could make salads out of it. Such a refreshing, tasty herb.
Spices I regularly use are paprika, parsley, garlic powder, chili powder, tumeric, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt! Really happy to know that I'm on the right track!
I am an Indian and my family has been consuming most of these A and S tier spices all our lives. From real life experience, I can assure you that Turmeric, Gigner, Garlic(powder), black pepper, cloves, fennel seeds, saffron, cardamom, celery seeds, and nutmed are all greatly beneficial for your health. Most of these contain anti-inflammatory and digestion-friendly properties. All of these add a ton of flavor to your food. I'd suggest you to add these to your food as seasoning. Another underrated spice is Coriander, very healthy and a flavorful.
@@H00H-H00H Actually, the Brits and their colonization fucked our health for good. They created famines that led to malnutrition. This led to stupid movements like the Green revolution where they forced simple carbs on everyone. Traditional Indian diet is actually pretty balanced.
I absolutely LOVE spices and herbs. When me and my boyfriend move into our own place, starting an herb garden and having various jars of spices is an absolute must.
Very intersting video, thanks a lot! When some herbs came up I had the strong urge to ask for a separate fresh herbs video since fresh herbs cant be compared that easily to dried once, especially when it comes to their weight. For example I use around 40g of fresh dill in my dill sauce. And herbs lose some of their compounds when dried. So please one fresh herbs tier list!
Ooo what an exciting video!! These are some very important, even medicinal, traditional indian herbs I'm guessing will be / should be close to the top of the list!! Haldi (turmeric), hing (asafoetida), kesar (saffron), pudhina (mint), tulsi (basil), jeera (cumin), laung (cloves), adrak (ginger), dalchini (cinnamon), and laal & kali mirch (red & black pepper). This is one of my ultra-niche interests, and I'm so excited to see this oft-ignored food group!! There is so much emphasis on the importance of herbs and spices in traditional/ ancient (satvic) Indian food that it has now been sadly pretty much lost in modern Indian cuisine. In my research, it seems as one of the biggest reasons why traditional Indian diets don't really require meat and are able to fulfill nutritional requirements.
What I found most interesting was onion and garlic powder had very close benefits in powder form as what they came from. As powder is easier to store for longer time. Only recently discovered your videos, yet so far, I love them. Thank for taking the time to make them. I am curious about how you go about researching these nutritional values.
No wonder i´ve been so healthy. Black pepper, garlic powder and paprika are the basic combo that i use almost every food. I sure always knew that garlic powder is good for health, but black pepper and paprika too. And I love all chilis. I also use fresh garlic and onions alot too.
In the area where I grew up many recipes involve cooking with fresh thyme or sage, but rarely eating the leaves themselves. For example roasting or boiling fish in a pan with thyme. I wonder if not consuming the spice gives any benefits besides the flavor. Great vid as always!
Very well done. But I think it is important to mention that in high doses nutmeg causes hallucinations, which can include fear of impending death, in doses as low as 5 grams.
There's a lot of good information here. I'm consuming some form of all your top tier list except for sage and paprika. I guess it's time to take a look at adding those.
Bro you have to do a mushrooms tier list next!! would be cool especially in their whole forms, since health food stores are starting to stock them more. also would be nice to remind people the mushroom supplement space is rife with misleading claims and improper dosing due to lack of regulation.
Just recently came across your channel and lists. Was wondering if you would ever do a master list that includes all of the lists that has happened so far and have the link for everyone to see? Would be easiest to have all foods retain their rank from the video that they were shown in.
The dude used a kingdom hearts and Disney reference, but most importantly y'all keep in mind that sometimes it's not about nutrition for that body but nutrition for the soul.
Most vinegars have similar health effects except apple cider vinegar with "mother". All vinegrs are healthy because they have acetic acid but If you want more health benefits pick apple cider vinegar with mother
Hey Talon I've watched almost all of your videos are find them really useful and entertaining, but the more I think about it, the more I've been wondering about your background. There's no doubt you come across a very knowledgable guy and always make sure you advocate for your fans to do their own research, but what exactly are your credentials? A nutritionist or maybe a fitness expert? Maybe you've mentioned it somewhere but I couldn't find any info Please don't take it wrong way, I'm just wondering for transparency's sake, I really do enjoy your content.
This gets asked alot so you're good. I'm just not sure where to post it. But I have my degree in Fitness, Strength Training and Nutrition and I'm ISSA sports nutrition certified. This channel was originally going to be more exercise focused and much more casual but I found a niche that needed to be filled in nutrition and decided to do so for the time being.
I just got done watching another video and under the comment section people were saying spices add vertically almost nothing to your health and only flavor. Oh how wrong all of them are. I think people greatly underestimate the power of spices. Idk why people who are obsessed with health leave them out of their meals pretty much all together and have these tasteless and flavorless meals like plain rice, unseasoned chicken and broccoli. No wonder people hate healthy foods. They just don’t know how to make them taste good.
My question is are they used in amounts that aren't neglegable? I cook with probavly the average human amount with spices but it's still a tiny amount of "food" compared to like a steak for example. So is it even impactful on your health in a meaningful way?
Honestly I think a large part is his disclaimers and Review portion where he gives background to establish context, variables and limitations. That way, people can’t say anything about nuances he didn’t account for. It helps you to really focus in on the content.
that's crazy. Browsing through UA-cam i was thinking hm, I want to see a video about the health of spices. I already follow your channel, so i searched it first. It came out 5 minutes ago. mind blown lol.
except that effects are not noticeable unless you make 1000 clones of yourself, and only 1 of them may feel the difference over the lifetime just because spices make very small amount of your daily food intake
@@SorakaOTP462It's negligible admittedly but every bit helps and when that comes alongside markedly improving the taste of your meal then everything's copacetic
Mushrooms have no nutritional value for humans because we can’t digest chitin, except for potassium and some B6. However, I love mushrooms and they smell amazing
@@AlegIronFist ChatGPT 4: It's not accurate to say that mushrooms have no nutritional value for humans aside from potassium and some vitamin B6. While it is true that mushrooms contain chitin, a fibrous substance that humans have limited ability to digest, they still offer a range of nutritional benefits. Mushrooms are a source of several important nutrients, including: 1. **Dietary Fiber**: While chitin is part of the dietary fiber in mushrooms and is less digestible, other components of their fiber can be beneficial for digestive health. 2. **Protein**: Mushrooms contain a decent amount of protein, which is vital for many bodily functions. 3. **Vitamins**: Besides vitamin B6, mushrooms are also a good source of several B vitamins, like riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), and pantothenic acid (B5). They are one of the few non-animal sources of vitamin D, especially if they have been exposed to sunlight. 4. **Minerals**: Beyond potassium, mushrooms contain other minerals like selenium, copper, and iron. 5. **Antioxidants**: They have antioxidants like selenium and ergothioneine, which can help to protect body cells from damage. So, while certain components of mushrooms, like chitin, are less digestible for humans, mushrooms as a whole are nutritious and can contribute beneficially to a human diet.
You have to eat A LOT, more than any average person would consume, to actually see those effects. Ceylon cinnamon is unfortunately rarer and harder to process.
I think the medicinal properties of herbs here extend to drinking them in tea form as well - like he mentioned thyme helps with lung diseases and you usually find it in Broncho type herb teas.
Bro thats gonna be like 200 grams of spices. You might get liver failure with so much compounds hitting the blood stream. Try each one out and use your favorites. Dont over season your soup, ya know what im sayin? 😂
That might not taste very good but if you do it pls let me know how it tastes!! If it tastes alright I might try making it myself and tracking how it impacts my health longer-term 🤔🤔I feel like this would be such a cool experiment
I was more thinking a huge dish involving each individual spice for one of its best usages for a food component of what we plan to combine this dish into.
I suggest you rank sweetners such as honey, monk fruit, stevia and others. You would really help out a lot of people and I belive with your amazing research and video quality many people would be interested in such a video.
This is a great video, and all of these herbs and spices have health and taste benefits. However, it seems to me that the most benefits (in addition to the taste) are from phytonutrients. Furthermore, many nutrients out there have synergistic properties - they provide little or no benefit on their own but are much more potent when combined with certain other nutrients. For example, it's a good idea to combine turmeric and black pepper, because the piperine in the pepper improves absorption of the curcumin in the turmeric. And for every known synergy, there are probably many other synergies that aren't known yet. Lots of foods contain fiber, folate, manganese, magnesium, and potassium. There's an immense world of phytonutrients out there, most of which are unknown or only sparsely documented. Each herb and spice profiled in this video is probably the exclusive source of at least one phytonutrient. So it's a good idea to consume a wide variety of healthy foods, even the "lower" tiered ones in lists like these.
ready to snort black pepper, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, garlic powder, ginger, paprika, sage, tumeric, and white pepper every morning to stay healthy 🙏🙏
I love Black & white pepper so much I put it in my all of my soup meals, my parents are worried if it will give me disease. Uninformed people are so easily scared.
A list for common medicine toxicity could benefit the community. Especially hepatatoxic OTC meds like acetaminophen that are common and mistaken as very safe. The stats one could find about ER visits and deaths associated with regular OTC medicine would surprise many. Since this channel is so thorough, I thought it would greatly contribute to peoples' well-being.

@@AlegIronFist ChatGPT 4: It's not accurate to say that mushrooms have no nutritional value for humans aside from potassium and some vitamin B6. While it is true that mushrooms contain chitin, a fibrous substance that humans have limited ability to digest, they still offer a range of nutritional benefits.
Mushrooms are a source of several important nutrients, including:
1. **Dietary Fiber**: While chitin is part of the dietary fiber in mushrooms and is less digestible, other components of their fiber can be beneficial for digestive health.
2. **Protein**: Mushrooms contain a decent amount of protein, which is vital for many bodily functions.
3. **Vitamins**: Besides vitamin B6, mushrooms are also a good source of several B vitamins, like riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), and pantothenic acid (B5). They are one of the few non-animal sources of vitamin D, especially if they have been exposed to sunlight.
4. **Minerals**: Beyond potassium, mushrooms contain other minerals like selenium, copper, and iron.
5. **Antioxidants**: They have antioxidants like selenium and ergothioneine, which can help to protect body cells from damage.
So, while certain components of mushrooms, like chitin, are less digestible for humans, mushrooms as a whole are nutritious and can contribute beneficially to a human diet.

Eating Indian food might give you exposure to most spices in this list.
Carribean, or West Indian, foods as well.
dysentery, too.
@@boyyladdLove a little casual racism 😍
Unfortunately it’s one of the most u healthy cuisines in the world.
Shut up paul , your burgers and pizzas are the most unhealthiest.@@paulieteezo
You could do a probiotic foods list. Pickles, kimchi, kombucha, etc. Also a condiments tier list. Ketchup, ranch, sriracha, mustard, mayonnaise, etc.
Use the no added sugar variation then you can eat every condime but mayo
There are so many varieties of every one of these. Time of preparation, ingredients, it would be difficult to compare them
@@Chr.Saint-Michael why not mayo?
@@Timmy-mi2ef very high in fat and calories and not particulary healthy fat so i would avouid it in a diet
@@Chr.Saint-MichaelIt depends a lot on whether you make it yourself or buy it from the store

This list is one of rare case where the more tasty = more healthy
I was happy to see you mention the coumarin content of cassia cinnamon and the risk of liver damage. Very few people are aware of this.
You have to eat A LOT, more than any average person would consume, to actually see those effects. Ceylon cinnamon is unfortunately rarer and harder to process.
Love your channel! Could you do a tier list of different kinds of teas? Including medicinal teas? Thanks, that would be awesome. Cheers.
Teas have been included in drinks tiers but there could have been more.
I think the medicinal properties of herbs here extend to drinking them in tea form as well - like he mentioned thyme helps with lung diseases and you usually find it in Broncho type herb teas.
I'm so proud you finally nailed the pronunciation of "microbial."
Now he just needs to work on "medicinally".
Or medICinal instead of medicINal. Oh god that hurts my brain.

This makes me want to mix one serving of every herb together to make a super health potion
Bro thats gonna be like 200 grams of spices. You might get liver failure with so much compounds hitting the blood stream. Try each one out and use your favorites. Dont over season your soup, ya know what im sayin? 😂
They sell bitter tonics/tinctures that have a lot of the spices he talked about in this video
That might not taste very good but if you do it pls let me know how it tastes!! If it tastes alright I might try making it myself and tracking how it impacts my health longer-term 🤔🤔I feel like this would be such a cool experiment
Research tinctures
I was more thinking a huge dish involving each individual spice for one of its best usages for a food component of what we plan to combine this dish into.
I suggest you rank sweetners such as honey, monk fruit, stevia and others. You would really help out a lot of people and I belive with your amazing research and video quality many people would be interested in such a video.
Seeing rosemary in the D tier made my jaw drop and broke my heart. Never disagreed with your ranking this much before :(
Good video!
Only bcs it's not well-known like vanilla, bruh
@@moon_0207It's not a fact, that's an extremely dangerous thinking when it comes to something as variable as nutrition

This is a great video, and all of these herbs and spices have health and taste benefits. However, it seems to me that the most benefits (in addition to the taste) are from phytonutrients. Furthermore, many nutrients out there have synergistic properties - they provide little or no benefit on their own but are much more potent when combined with certain other nutrients. For example, it's a good idea to combine turmeric and black pepper, because the piperine in the pepper improves absorption of the curcumin in the turmeric. And for every known synergy, there are probably many other synergies that aren't known yet.
Lots of foods contain fiber, folate, manganese, magnesium, and potassium. There's an immense world of phytonutrients out there, most of which are unknown or only sparsely documented. Each herb and spice profiled in this video is probably the exclusive source of at least one phytonutrient. So it's a good idea to consume a wide variety of healthy foods, even the "lower" tiered ones in lists like these.
It sounds like if you eat Indian/Pakistani/Nepali curry, you'll never die. :) Luckily, it's my favorite food.
Bengali 🇧🇩, maldivian 🇲🇻, Sri lankan 🇱🇰 : I guess we don't exist
Nutmeg can make you high so it’s s tier
I just cant get enough of these types of videos. its just so interesting
Most of the info from studies is so vague “shown to” it likely will all have no effect that’s noticeable for you
i like how he pronounces it as "medicinally" but i say it "medicinally"
🤔
Tier list for teas?
YES
I use all these herbs and spices for preparing and cooking meals.
ready to snort black pepper, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, garlic powder, ginger, paprika, sage, tumeric, and white pepper every morning to stay healthy 🙏🙏
I love Black & white pepper so much I put it in my all of my soup meals, my parents are worried if it will give me disease. Uninformed people are so easily scared.
A list for common medicine toxicity could benefit the community. Especially hepatatoxic OTC meds like acetaminophen that are common and mistaken as very safe.
The stats one could find about ER visits and deaths associated with regular OTC medicine would surprise many.
Since this channel is so thorough, I thought it would greatly contribute to peoples' well-being.
