    TikTok is full of all kinds of nutritional information... and some of it is even good! Today we look at mac and cheese, eating hot foods, John McGinnis, raw honey ASMR, Garnicia Cambogia, Dr. Oz, In-N-Out Burger, french fries, protein, carbs, juice cleanses, mountain lions, Nikocado Avocado, opium, codeine, essential oils, Matt Stonie, Squid Game, marshmallows, processed food, whole foods, Gordon Ramsey, vegan steak, magnesium, sleep, alkaline water, tap water, Liver King, raw meat, and liver!
    I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

      A few pro eaters that I follow seem to have a healthy lifestyle outside of their extreme hobby/profession. Furious Pete, BeardMeatsFood, and Leah Shutkever all have very clean diets and exercise/workout regularly. When it comes time to do the challenge or competition (Pete doesn't compete anymore, and doesn't really do these challenges anymore either) they fast and restrict their diets leading up to it. The pro eaters that I follow don't have regular bad eating habits and that helps them stay relatively healthy. Obviously can't speak for all of them though.

      I'm guessing what you were prescribed was an antihistamine. Histamine is naturally produced in the body and has two very different functions at the same time: it promotes itchiness in the skin and wakefulness in the brain. Antihistamines are drugs that antagonise the effects of histamine. So when you take an antihistamine to dampen down histamine function in the skin, some of this antihistamine ends up in the brain and has the unintended effect of causing drowsiness

      Cougar is always a defined and identified particular species, while a panther could be any of the big cats.

      Cougar is a new world species, while panther is both a new world and old world species.

    • @Natalie-it9ji
      @Natalie-it9ji 2 роки тому +12

      You are correct! The common name panther comes from the genus name Panthera, which belongs to the true big cats which can roar, like Panthera leo and Panthera tigris (lions and tigers).
      Confusion comes from common names just being how people describe what they are talking about. Most common names come from when we grouped animals based on their looks (morphology) rather than genetics/ancestry. Cougars do look pretty similar to lions, so it makes sense they ended up with a similar common name. Genetically, they are different enough that we gave them a different genus name, Puma. This is why we have the system for scientifically naming creatures, so we can discuss with accuracy, even across many languages. I love how many people are curious or interested! Hope this helps.

    My Mum had a theory, for my older sister she sanitised EVERYTHING when she was a baby. By the time I was born, well let's just say it was clean but not hospital grade sanitised lol. My sister had a bunch of skin conditions and allergies, I had nothing, and she believes it was because for me everything wasn't sterile so my body was able to build immunities.

      Hello Ailias, I develop eczema and my mom cleaned everything hospital grade due to the risk of asthma. I did not developed asthma but my immune system is weakened. Doctors recommend clean environment for the children allowing the interaction with different potential allergic molecules (kids that grow up with pets are less likely to develop fur allergies). However, in the case of diseases like eczema, everything should be sterile because we lack defenses. So, it actually depends on the baby's health condition.

      You can look into hygiene theory, its very interesting. I also did a paper in school about food allergies and the time they were introduced into the kids diets. For some allergens, such as peanuts, the earlier you give it to your child, the less risk of allergy to peanuts. Its super interesting because parents have become really worried about peanut allergies so they often times wait to introduce those foods but we actually have seen rates of allergies increase. We want to protect our kids from everything but the reality is that is likely doing more harm.

    "Panther" is not a separate species. It is simply the genus name where these animals below are placed:
    Lions, tigers, jaguars, leopards, and snow leopards. Calling any of these "panthers" would technically be correct according to their genus name, which is panthera. Cougars, cheetahs, lynx, domestic cat, etc. belong in the genus felindae; therefore, calling a cougar a panther is not correct.

      Very close, but not quite:
      Cats (Felidae) are separated into two subfamilies: Pantherinae and Felinae.
      The Pantherinae ("big cats") consist of the genera Neofelis (clouded leopards) and Panthera (the five true big cat species as you mentioned). All other cats are Felinae ("small cats"). But there's several genera within Felinae, for example: Felis (domestic cats and wild cats), Acinonyx (cheetah), Lynx (lynxes), Puma (cougar), Leopardus (ocelot, margay).

    Also thank you for the alkaline water rant.
    Once had a coworker tell me I could cure acid reflux by drinking water with lemon juice in it, because it would make my body alkaline. The fact that we were at WORK and the boss was right there (and a big fan of pseudo-woo himself) was the only reason she didn't get schooled.

      In a way she was right. A small amount of lemon juice in warm water can be alkalize when digested

      I've heard that about pickle juice but I don't think I ever bought it. I love lemon water but only because it tastes good. I got even more into it when I was pregnant because it helped with nausea for some reason and asked for a bunch of lemon slices in my water at a restaurant. The waitress (who was also pregnant) nodded understandingly and brought me a whole plate of them LOL.

      The problem is when they prescribe young kids a strongly addictive opiate where they could potentially overdose is an issue I'm not saying codeine doesn't work or it should fully be avoided but it shouldn't be prescribed to kids.
