Vegans, can we please stop being so stupid when it comes to health, medicine, and nutrition? Thanks!

I've never believed in any god, but I will give my heart and soul to the Goddess of Coffee. Bless me, bitch.
This would make a great t-shirt!!
God what a mood. I need like fifty blessings.
Also you Pavloved your toddler with food. Cx
A whole mood

Tea can not solve loneliness, only cats can do that.
Hey, let's be fair, dogs too.

Okay, but if the one for obese people isn't called "Obesi-TEA", I will riot.
Lmao
I will join you in your riot 😂

I will join you! 😂👍

Yeah...turns out that people with Depression don't need relief 'only for a moment', this is dangerous and this company can get wrecked.
I’d have to drink so much tea I’d drown.
Truth
Yeah just he can balance serotonin and norepinephrine great!!
I just have to drink this tea every second of every day for the rest of my natural born life
That's really disappointing, as someone who takes antidepressants it really upsets me when companies try to do these things. Sure, my morning cup of cinnamon black tea makes me feel good, but it's not going to pull me out of a depressive episode or cure my bipolar disorder. Sorry dude, not how it works.
Black tea has antioxidants and cinnamon can help with blood sugar
Same. People don’t understand what depression and bipolar really are. Meds gave me the tools to get my life back on track...not tea.
Ikr? Antidepressants are way better than a natural nutritious diet with meat, fish and eggs..
This. Just because something makes me feel happy for a short bit of time doesn’t mean my depressive episode is over. Depression is more than that. Unless your tea is somehow re-wiring my brain, I don’t think it’s gonna do much.
very rarely does somethin make me HMMMM i need to try that but HMMM
When Mom needs to have a chat with the vegan community
It's so sad that UV is viewed as a mom/aunt here on UA-cam. Makes me feel freaking old lmao
@Carrie yeah I realize that. Maybe I wasn't clear: all I mean is I still see her more as the smart girl in my college class than as a mom/aunt. Probably because we're roughly the same age and I also have two kids ;)

To quote the comedian Tim Minchin...
"You know what they call alternative medicine that's been proved to work? - Medicine."
Na that's not really true
@@charlesswedenburg9449 yeah... But it is. Any drug that has evidence proving that it works is labelled medicine.
@@lee7510 plenty of over the counter "medicine" is really bad for you
@@charlesswedenburg9449 That's a reductive and over generalised statement. They are used for an intended amount of effects, and no drug comes without a side effect. But they work for what they are intended for. So, hence, this is how evidence based medicine works.
@@charlesswedenburg9449 it literally is though....
So depression rooted in childhood trauma... is the tea gonna give you retrograde amnesia? Sweet.
It's special time-traveling tea that allows you to break the bonds of the space time continuum and rewrite your own past.

I agree, I'm vegan right now bt when I was in the process of transition the first time I followed freelee the banana girl bcz I was naive n new to the world......I ate fruits for an entire week , passed out in school and ended up in hospital bed for 3 days I got so scared of veganism I couldn't get myself to go thru that again for next few years......I turned vegan recently it's been 2 years now I'm eating a reasonably healthy and well balanced whole food diet never been happier
Wow I had VERY similar experiences. I felt guilty when my body couldn’t handle the ridiculous fruit consumption. When I had to stop doing that I began to self hate a lot. Like “how can my body do this and why did I put myself above millions if not billions of animals dying bc of me?” It was this very bad mentality that would have killed me. And I’m sure this mentality has hit so many of us too.
@Jay Harv28 my mom is not a vegan bt she prefers her vegan options as well , I think reductionism is the best we can do right now since everyone wouldn't wanna be a vegan bcz of their personal beliefs or maybe other reasons
@Jay Harv28 that's actually great, something is better than nothing
@@dont_harsh_my_mellow true that I had that experience when I was a teenager at school struggling with body images, it's easier to get influenced by someone as toxic as freelee at that age ....... ps moral value of a human being will always be above any animal also even if u don't wanna be a vegan u can be always try reductionism
@Dark Glow tysm 😊
“stop trying to treat us!
I mean treat us with treats...“
😂 loved that clarification
My favorite part!
I’m all for exploiting the placebo effect for your own advantage, but the second you insinuate that your product is BETTER than actual medicine that has been rigorously tested to *specifically* be better than a placebo, y’all can MISS ME with that.
YES! I really love these kind of placebo lifestyle products like bath salts, and teas and nicely scented things. But it's only like a nice addition to actually finding solutions to problems and actually treating potentially harmful conditions
I just want to eat vegetables and take my pills in peace, Robert.
They're like not only do we cure mental health but we take away all bad feelings humans can feel
Dude, if they could make everyone in the world nice, I’d support them!
"No mental disorder? No problem! We'll cure your boredom instead!"
I tried rhodiola rosea for anxiety a few years back and it didn't do anything, lol. But, recently, I tried ashwagandha for anxiety (didn't do much), but it did surprise me by helping me to lose weight. It got rid of my cravings in 3 days and stopped my binge eating. I still have to eat healthy to lose weight, it just makes it easier. Herbs are confusing because sometimes we don't know why something doesn't or does work, due to a lack of studies from herbs.
It's never been proven, but cat and dog therapy has always worked for me.
Cat and dog "therapy" actually has a lot of research backing it 🙌😎

When I got the notification for this video I screamed “UNNATURAL VEGANNNNN YESSSSS” I live for these videos lol
Unnatural Vegan is a typical no muscle tone soft as a marshmallow junk food eating vegan who would rather eat a highly processed Beyond Meat Burger than fresh whole vegetables (see her last video), and feeds her kid the highly processed vegan version of Cheetos just to shut them up. So hypocritical how you vegans decry "meat eaters" so vociferously, but do everything you can to eat the highly processed "vegan version" of the "meat eater" diet. Pathetic.
@@MyplayLists4Y2Y well okay, but that's just your opinion 💋
Omg bussycat dying over here you're subbed to unnatural vegan?!
@@MyplayLists4Y2Y it is just an opinion, because you haven't seen what she eats (or feeds her kids) on a daily basis for any amount of time - sporadic "what I eat in a day" videos just won't cut it if you want to be scientific about it. As to UV's BMI, I can't say because I don't know what hers is. I can tell you that my BMI says I am in my ideal weight range, but that I look FAR from the ideal body type - plenty of subcutaneous fat to lose - by your logic I can strut my stuff, though, because BMI is such a good indication of health? Nonsense. Just stop it. She doesn't vilify anyone for eating meat, either, are you trolling?
When did people start liking others based on how healthy they eat?
Tea can cure boredom! A bubble tea will absolutley keep me amused for about 5 min.

I feel like being this early I need to have something of interest to comment, but I don't so...............eat the rich

Oy vey reported for antisemitism!
Does the depression one fill you with positivi-tea?
vegan rob's: 'how could you be bored while drinking tea ???? impossible'
Julia Martins You can if you’re drinking Lipton....
I think it's a marketing tactic. Companies are not your friend.
definitely! i like that swayze wants to see the best in people, but if these companies actually cared about mental health they wouldn’t be taking advantage of mentally ill people to sell their products.
Not every owner has no ethics. If you turned around and started a company tomorrow, would you magically no longer have ethics?
Exactly. Companies exist because they make money. Their goal is to continue to make money. Marketing only.
Why hate on a vegan company instead of working to change companies that contribute to slaughter?
@@orangeradios No, but understand this. Companies, especially big ones, are there to make money. Even if they treat you ethically, its about selling stuff.
@Dark Glow And what do you need?
Patient: I'm depressed.
Psychiatrist: Okay, but have you tried *t e a ?*
I just made dinner here in the uk. I saw this post & was like “yessssssssss. Something to watch while I eat” 😅😂😂
I support GMO.
Why?
marishkaspirit they can improve the nutritional value of grains, make it easier to grow food in areas where normal plants can’t be sustained and make pesticides unnecessary. Not all GMOs are good and they need to be under control so that they don’t affect natural habitats but that’s the case with all current crops
I wish I could buy GMO foods that are pesticide free. Maybe some exist and I just don't know how to look for them.
When they don't just make them withstand more GMO and heavily spray them its not all bad. 🤷🏻♀️
Unfortunately that's too common.
@@Vegoonery there's NO food that is pesticide free.. Otherwise pest like bugs and animals would destroy crop fields hence no food.
Also organic food uses pesticides that are MORE toxic than normal farms.
Have you listened to a podcast called The Dream? Their most recent season is all about the wellness industry and how unregulated supplements and vitamins are in this country. They go deep into wuwu "science" and alternative medicine. Highly recommend.
Yes! Every Monday morning I'm so excited to listen to it😁 it's super interesting
Anecdotal but CBD hugely helps my anxiety. Not my depression but for that THC does a pretty good job. Just throwing that out there.
It's odd to me that in 2020 companies are still allowed to make those type of health claims. It's either medicine and should have science to back it up, or you can't say shit about health claims on your packaging/advertisements. Nothing wrong with wanting to sell tea. You can say it's yummy, ethically sourced, non-gmo and gluten free (duh), vegan, blah, blah, but don't pretend it does anything but warms you up on cool winter evening is utter bollocks!
I would really like to see your take on Dr. Dray's "What I Eat on a Busy Work Day" video. Thanks for considering!
Yeah, upsetting to see her broadcasting her low calorie diet to a large following. It's just coffee, non starchy veggies, and over the recommended dose of natural calm.
@@Haley_Wozniak yes, and as her reply to a comment asking about her lack of oil, she says she doesn't like it. Not a good enough answer for me.
I've since changed my mind about this for reasons explored in some of the comments on UV's latest video (about Brianna). Learned some new perspectives.
It's clearly to help boost their sales. Although those puff snacks do increase my happiness when I start eating them but they leave me sad after I eat the whole bag. 😫
"I'm not eating their dang puffs anymore"
- unnatural vegan, 2020
"it's hard" "butt ton" "bullshitty" "it's not your job and you're really bad at it" "nasty" Loved this one! You were struggling through and I so relate.
Your videos kept coming up in my recommended feed and THANK goodness. I love your channel! Thank you for being straight up with facts, reputable sources, and having respectful yet serious replies to other vegans, companies, or people in general. It's really refreshing and I like learning so thank you!
Costco sells lupin
Mmmm spill the tea! Literally spill the tea. That specific tea. Into the toilet. In 2020 we are tired of this bullshit 💖✨
I tried herbs to help with my anxiety. Guess what? Actual pharmaceuticals work better! They work so much better because they actually work, instead of working by having me think 'I can't be anxious, I took my ginko this morning'.
I love your videos and thank you for being so open about your depression struggles. Also wellbutrian user here.
I feel like you’re very measured and calculated. I’d love to see a video talking about your take on parenting and some of the strategies you use. Maybe books you like/ read? Thanks! :)
Love a good rant from you. Thanks for addressing this!
I love this rant. I feel like I can relate to your thought process here, reeeeally trying to give someone the benefit of the doubt. Hearing you go back and forth trying to reason through the company’s intentions was very entertaining. The most rational and reasonable UA-camr❤️
I want a vegan robs tea that can help ease my dependence on insulin!
I'd be curious to see how many placebo effects will be incoming. . .
Edit: Btw that unconventional outro did make me laugh 😄
Technically placebo can help amplify the affect of the medicine you're already taking
Placebo effects can be surprisingly strong. I'm just reading a book about it, and it's super interesting. I still don't believe anyone should change their meds to these teas by any means. There are cheaper herbal teas available, if you like the taste like I do.
Even if the teas were effective you would still need to ask a pharmacist before using this or any other supplement. St John's Wort can help with depression but it can be dangerous if you take too much or combine it with certain medications.
Earth Balance puffs are great, if you’re looking for puff replacements.😋
If I‘d suffer from depression and someone would give me a Tea like this I would literally Cry and be very upset
Thank you thank you thank you. I cannot find vegans who share the same mindset. Btw your skin looks amazing and I’m super jealous of your lip shape💕
A superfood is [name censored] once it takes off its glasses and puts on a cape to fight crime in your neighbourhood.
The title could be a Fall Out Boy song lmao
Clicked on this video while taking my antidepressants for the day
The depression (not including long term clinical) and anxiety one ones might have some merit (obviously not for serious long term issues but for short term). St. John’s wort and kava kava can interact with a lot of medications because of how they affect the CNS. But I’m not sure if it’s a small possibility of interaction or if it’s a common occurrence. Also the amounts of the herb in the tea might not be effective like you mentioned. Just wanted to put that out there though.
I need you to start linking your shirts in the description box please, thanks lol
"Detox balls with charcoal" deadass sounds like something that belongs in a fish tank
I love the hippies puffs😭 (nacho flavor)
So can I sell yarn as an anxiety treatment cuz knitting and crochet can be a stess reliever?
Tea gives me some temporary relief. But like, it really isn’t very much curing me of anything. Just giving a moment to take a relaxer.
The bohemian bbq Hippeas are my fave of the flavors.
For me drinking tea is relaxing and brings me a tiny bit of joy but that's just because of how I incorporate it in my life. Definitely not the only thing I need to do to help my mood.
Not related to the content of this video, but I really appreciate how well-researched your videos are and how well-spoken you are. You are a wonderful face of normal in the vegan community that, sadly, is rare and very much necessary. So, thank you.
Totally agree with you here, a lot of these brands go a little too "crunchy granola". But, speak for yourself on the Lenny & Larry's, I LOVE those.
Not disagreeing with the points about tea, but there are many, many Ayurvedic herbs that help with anxiety and other mental issues. I’ve had serious non placebo effects from ashwaghanda and brahmi...helps me to sleep and with chronic anxiety.
This is why I love this channel. Speaking as a vegan myself I find alot of vegan content on UA-cam irritating and condescending. You are right to call out vegan food brands on this whole you don't need a doctor anymore BS. Keep up the good work.
Let me tell you.. I eat celexa for depression and it literally saved my life. No herb, yoga, exercise could help me. I tried it ALL. Great video as always 💜💕🧡
I see the FDA having some issues with their claims.
I think I'll stick with the MUCH CHEAPER Lipton Relax tea XD Ironically, it helped when I was having a terrible panic reaction to Wellbutrin. But it's not a cure, just a little relief from physical anxiety for a few hours.
Yeah hibiscus tea doesn't do anything at all besides be tasty. I'll also have more vivid dreams if I drink a couple glasses of it, but so does Benadryl.
Hemp edibles are slightly relaxing, but it's just okay-- I tried some in liquid form and I had the worst nightmares ever.
"OVER IT. SO OVER IT." This basically sums up how I feel about those products.
Recently, Dr. Drey (dermatologist who is vegan) has been called out by several youtubers who are concern about her health and what she's promoting. Do you have any opinions or comments, maybe even a video response would be cool? I always like your take on things because I feel you always back up your facts and admit to your faults, that is human not blind cult following.
Watching you get into these rants and catch yourself and try to be fair, then fall back into a rant... it hurts my heart because I do this almost every day. I work in tech and I see so much bullshit and black boxes and shitty attitudes from end users and I get really cynical and then some part of me swoops in to try and advocate for the benefit of the doubt and it’s a tough place to be. People fall for dumb stuff all the time and those of us who can see through it all will never be able to change it. And, if we’re being honest, we fall into the trap sometimes, too. I try to find ways to love people so I can let all of that go. There are smart things happening today, too.
I love hippeas! had never had Vegan Rob's, but I'm crazy about hippeas! they changed their flavours, haven't tried the new ones yet, but I used to love vegan cheddar. even barbecue was good, though kinda funky
If I didn’t need prescription meds I’d be so happy !!!!! But I’d also likely be dead if I didn’t take them, since I unfortunately do need them.
Unnatural Vegan, I agree with you totally!
Would love to hear your thoughts on the new Kurzgesagt on milk
HIPPEAS ARE SO GOOD!! love bbq flavor 🤤🤤 I'm addicted to them! But that sucks about vegan Robb's I like the dragon puffs and matcha chips :(
I really like the Larry's double chocolate cookies, especially melted in the microwave and with ice cream on top... which is kind of the opposite of its intended use lol
Damn why am I so early this is so unusual of me lol
I TAKE WELLBUTRIN!! I now feel as though we are one. Peace and love lmao
Same
You find lupini beans in whatever section of your grocery store has the Italian or Mediterranean stuff. They are brined and it's a popular bar snack in the Mediterranean. I grew up with them and I eat them whole, plain out of the bottle. I have a hard time not finishing the whole thing in one sitting, but they're low calorie and high in protein for a snack food, so that is how I excuse it.
Yoooo i just picked up my Wellbutrin today! $9 for the month
I won’t stop commenting to do a video on “fairly local vegan” now “fairly local family” lol please do a video!
I used to use date syrup as sweetener to smoothies or home-made nut butters 😉
Tea can definitely help with mental health in the short term, but not by much, so it definitely can't cure it. Smh
Swayze, I highly suggest looking into the benefits of cannabis. As a regular user of both THC and CBD/hemp, I can confidently say that in moderation (just like any medicine), it helps a lot with my mental health.
Same on the cannabis. I've been taking CBD for several months (mostly in the form of edibles, but vaping, too), and it definitely helps. (I still take my meds, though)
i think the thing with hemp is that there's been people saying that cbd e related oils helped them with things like anxiety and sleep, but i've also heard people talking about how it worsened their anxiety and other conditions, so it's really polarized
Hey unnatural vegan Swayze can you do a video on dr dray? I feel like there’s a lot of great and bad opinions on her and I’m not sure what to believe. She’s a dermatologist and she sounds like she’s very informed on skincare but her what I eat in a day and her particular lifestyle videos make me soooo worried about her.
OMG! I LOVE your t-shirt!!! Where did you get it?
ooo. I'm on Wellbutrin too!
Not really something I'm glad about ... but just caught my attention. ._.
_I need that cbd info_
You really spilled the tea on Vegan Rob’s
I also love the Brussel Sprout puffs, and it just plain sucks that I can’t get them anymore. This is disappointing.
Wow, that is so disappointing. I used to love their puffs - I would buy them for cheap at Grocery Outlet. Maybe try the Earth Balance puffs? Those are similar to Pirate's Booty. Or the Bearitos veggie puffs are great, too.
I would love a CBD review of the literature video from you omg. lupini beans are very italian grandma, the only place I’ve seen them is pickled in an Italian deli or the Italian section of the supermarket. Literally the unsexiest food available would not have thought it would become the next Keto trend! Also, anecdotally, thc helps my mood a lot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@Lyran Starseed cool thanks for your unsolicited input!
I would like to hear more about herbalist/homeopathic/holistic products, methods, and ingredients. It can be hard to tell what's a scam and what's not nowadays if you don't have the time to check all the research.
Yum love drinking diabeetus tea every morning
They're smart that instead of saying " cures " they say " relieves " which in a sense they would be right, for some people drinking tea with certain herbs can cause a relaxant effect. Now would I pay $$ for a possible relaxant? No, most chamomile tea are already vegan by default so i'd rather pay $. But changing your diet in general is probably enough to help reduce mental stress.
Try Bamba as a snack for Toddler! They're peanut puffs. Not "a vegetable" but like, who doesn't love peanuts.
Anyone know if she's made a vid about Dr Dray's what i eat in a day vid? Would be interesting to hear her opinion.
My Arab ass laughed when i heard you say the date syrup was described as a super food. Yeh according to google its a popular sweetener in the Middle East and I’ve been eating it since i was a child. Who knew i was eating a superfood. One way I’d recommend eating it is by mixing it with plain tahini (not with any tahini sauce thing, I’ve accidentally done that with disgusting results). You can mix it in a 5:1 syrup to tahini ratio and adjust according to taste (I personally prefer a lot more tahini), and then i usually eat it by dipping in pita bread but you can spread it on toast or something. According to google its Iraqi, its called Dibis w'Rashi and they add a spritz of lemon juice to it. P.s dates are great how dare you say that abut them, my poor heart cant take that slander ;.;
Damn it and I just got into their dragon puffs too!
GMO is saving the human race
Yes it is.
I watch your vids, but i'm not vegan nor do I want to but I respect what you do. I do eat less meat than what I used to.
lol. "I'm reachin' here."
Ha, I loled at that too
hey you mentioned lack of evidence supporting CBD for depression and all! Would be really awesome if you made a little review of the claims surrounding CBD and the science (or lack thereof) to support it? might be a little out of your channel's message/goal but more and more influencers use it, including vegans! if it's something you're interested in doing i would be all for it! Love your channel
Can you do a video on Telltale's recent video about vegans being extremists? I usually love his videos but I didn't think this video was very accurate. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
If you're on anything other than a standard american processed diet with 5 prescription meds people are gonna call you an *extremist*. Its just stupidity of the masses, don't worry about it.
