Burning foods to measure calories

  • How many calories are in a handfull of toasted oats or cheese balls? We get a general idea by just burning them and observing the size of the flame that is generated.

  • @signalfire6691
    @signalfire6691 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    The thing is, I don't think calorie contents as stated on food packaging is accurate. They don't take into account that while in the lab, fiber burns up, in your body it's not absorbed and therefore passes out unburned (and probably takes some other stuff with it). Even fat isn't completely absorbed by the body and therefore the calorie count for say, a T. of butter, isn't exact. A lot depends on the cooking process as well as your digestive system.

    • @IMR95
      @IMR95 ปีที่แล้ว

      As I understand it, it's about how much energy the food is fueling that fire. Obviously, the human body is not fire, but it does need energy and these foods have energy to.provide for us.

  • @ElChronicler
    @ElChronicler 11 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Not sure what you are trying to argue here, but the purpose of using combustion is to determine the potential energy stored in food. They never argued that this is how food is actually digested. We need food to generate ATP, the food we eat provides us with the ability to create ATP, and therefore some foods provide us with more energy than others. Even though our body uses different mechanisms for releasing the energy stored in food, burning the food reveals the amount of energy stored.

    • @franciscomunozcortes3931
      @franciscomunozcortes3931 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      This method is used to determine the calories in food, and then print the number on a label. Today, people really think that calories are the energy used by their bodies. So, don't you see the argue make sense?

  • @alexlawson23
    @alexlawson23 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    That was a bad message lol. Toasted oats have just as many or more calories than most brands of cheese puffs per g and if you get the brands with added sugar and/or nuts, you're definitely going to consume more calories in an average bowl of toasted oats with milk than an average bowl of chips. That said, moderation is key.

    • @RyanDB
      @RyanDB 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I know that it's probably too late for this to be helpful, but what you do is burn the sucrose and use the flame to heat a known volume of water. You can take the difference in temperature before and after to figure out the energy absorbed by the water using the following equation: E=dT*m*c (E=energy, dT=change in temp., m=mass of water, and c=the specific heat capacity of water (4.186 J g-1 K-1))

    Our stomach is not a flame oven. It is a stomach.
    Formula for respiration (what we do with food) :
    Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy
    Formula for combustion:
    Hydrocarbon + Oxygen x2 = Carbond Dioxide + Waterx2 + Energy
    First distinction: A typical carbohydrate (HYDRATE) contains carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. Where as any hydrocarbon does not have oxygen.
    Then of course you have all the hormones and other chemicals in us, which are not used in the video.

    It just occured to me. They test the amount of calories in something by literally burning it with fire and reading the thermal energy it gives off.. But our bodies don't burn calorie with fire, they burn calories through complicated chemical reactions.. So i guess the question is.. The thermal energy given off from burning calories with fire is equal to the chemical energy given off through metabolism? For some reason my "Bullshitometer" is going off.

    Stupid, stupid, stupid!
    Our bodies do not burn our calories by throwing whatever food into our cells and then bam burn them. In fact, our body will mostly burn carbs first and fats second and protein if we don't eat for several hours. So, a calorie is not a calorie. In fact, if we eat to many carbs at one meal, our bodies will turn the extra calories into fat to keep our blood sugar normal. Our bodies want to keep our blood sugar in the normal range because high blood sugar is so damaging to all organs. Just ask any diabetic about all of the diseases caused by their high blood sugar.
    From biological beings, a calorie is not a calorie, period.
