The concept of a superfood in the first place is just so flawed, of course if on the whole you eat healthily you will be healthier but no single food item is going to be that golden ticket to perfect life on its own
Ryan Lord A You keep pasting that same reply to each comment. :Please cite proof and exactly why there is less cancer reported. As others have pointed out, if indeed there is less reported - as opposed to actually not existing - it could be because of rural areas not reporting.
All I heard was Turmeric was great as an anti-inflammatory food. I thought that was the main thing it had going for it, not "curing cancer." I wish you had laid out the science of its proposed anti-inflammatory status!
They claimed it bcos Indians use turmeric from ages in their dishes with other spices with their unique cooking style.This combination and cooking method prevents many diseases including cancer.
The best use is in combination with boswelia. Tumeric and boswelia are a powerful anti-inflammatory. More than prescribed pain killers. There are a lot of studies on that.
I watched a program on BBC in which they explained how turmeric can play a role in gene methylation. Specifically it targeted genes that are associated with asthma, depression and eczema. However, they also found that the way turmeric is prepared prior to ingestion also matters. They came to the conclusion that you probably should mix it with oil and add it to your food, just like the Indians do in their cooking. This apparently is because the compounds in turmeric responsible for the health benefits are liposoluble. This can also explain why turmeric capsules probably don't do much to your health.
Thank you for your video but I would stick on drinking with this golden milk (turmeric, coconut/almond milk, black pepper, ginger, honey) before I sleep and it always gives me a lot of good sleep and also relieves my anxiety/depressions :)
every month is a new superfood. Its marketing - "Health" media gets eyeballs on screen and the super markets see incresed sales of the mentioned products, its an all new marketing scam and its fleecing sheep by the millions.
"Westerners seem to be the only ones calling it a “super food.”" -- Not Westerners, Californians. You know, the land of pot and transcendental meditation.
I Am Enough - not sure what the “exception” to what I said was. Since the previous use of the product does not change or add to the fact that marketing teams in the western world are bumping random foods to boost sales in areas that don’t usually buy the food. your statement isn’t an exception but one of the reasons these “superfood” marketing plans exist.
I've only heard that it's an anti-inflammatory, none of that other stuff, and what I've heard isn't even mentioned. Something isn't right here. *backs away slowly*
Yes, "superfood" will make "super-poo-poo" and you will need "supertoiletpaper" to wipe your "superbutt". Which naturally costs twice ("superprice") as much.
The only health benefit I heard that turmeric has is that it's an anti-inflammatory. I wish you had mentioned that and not just the absurd claims (cancer cure, alzeheimer's cure) that get circulated about every supplement trend in the health food industry.
To be honest, though, my Dad start taking tumeric like, 2 years ago, and before he couldn't walk for long periods of time and now he lifts box is for UPS
@@user-ff9mb1ts4u I'm aware that it doesn't work for everyone and I didnt go into detail but its example for what can happen. I'm recommending that people at least try it cause I've seen it work.
Capsule yes, curcuminoids have been studied extensively for pain and anti inflammation. But turmeric powder no, as your body just can't absorb much of it to get that sort of effect.
Personal experience- Per doctor's order I can no longer take nsaids (aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, etc) after my heart attack. Without them I was in constant substantial pain. I hurt so much I was about to disregard my cardiologists restrictions. After researching natural pain relievers; I began taking turmeric (720 mg) and ginger capsules (540 mg) at least once a day, sometimes twice a day. I no longer (literally) roll out of bed, struggle to my feet, and hobble about aching all day. Marvelous.
BOB SANCHEZ Try and understand how a typical "tadka" is made in indian cuisine. We use groundnut oil, sesame seeds, a little bit of chilly, onion and turmeric together to create our "tadka" in which we cook curries or vegetables. We also add additional spices to our food such as chilli powder, pepper, cinnamon, cloves, etc. Try doing some research on cuisine made using all these ingredients. Try understanding how Ayurveda actually works. It doesn't take isolated compounds, but it creates effective herbal remedies by utilising whole components. Turmeric isn't consumed raw usually. I don't get why scientists in the west perform such narrow studies on holistic remedies which have proven to be helpful for thousands of years
@@TheIRISHredhead turmeric is a anti inflammatory agent. So combining the two can and probably does have the effect this person desires. For example, if you have inflammatory pain, you wouldn't take Tylenol, as it is only a pain reliever. You would take an Nsaid like advil or aleve because it will reduce inflammation and reduce pain.
I personally know several people that have chronic joint inflammation from old injuries and they see a benefit from it. I have taken turmeric supplements myself and seen a reduction in how bothersome my wrist is from an old surgery. Will it fix my wrist, no, but it provides about the same level of relief as an NSAID like ibuprofen without causing stomach and liver problems.
Knirin the placebo effect does great things. But your perception of pain and anecdotal evidence means nothing to real science. "I personally know people who benefited from this" is how people support things that have no real evidence
Knirin- Since youve seen results, I might just have to try it myself. Im severely allergic to all NSAIDs, but I deal with a lot of inflamation, so if I can get any benefit at all from it, it might be worth it. Hey, its not like the small amount Ill end up trying is gonna hurt me! lol
I was diagnosed with gastritis last week. Covid left me with nasty gastric complications involving inflammation of the small intestine, stomach lining and colon. I take tumeric, with lemon and black pepper water each day. Before I started the tumeric, I was just on prilosec and zinc. It was slowly working but the information was still there. After I started a few days on tumeric water, it was instantly less inflammatory response from my body and way better gut bio
And that concludes this highly scientific exposé of turmeric, this mysterious and as we' ve just learned , doubtfully beneficial spice that happens to be used in Culinary Arts and Ayurveda for some, well , two thousands years or more :)
..drinking golden milk every night can help your sleep and improve digestion...long term this will bring overall health and vitality up...not to mention consistent sleep schedules.
Please guys. Know the proper way to take Turmeric before using it, it needs to be exactly the right amounts. You can see exactly how to take it on *HealthMedline*
Someone should make a compilation of every time they've explained Double-Blind studies in a video. I know it's important every time, what if someone who doesn't know about that watches just this one video, but really, that'd make a fun, very long compilation!
Turmeric? You mean that yellow spice that I've been eating in Indonesian food all my life? Haha it's probably not a superfood, but it is delicious. Definitely recommend everyone try it!
In my experience with tumeric (called simply "curcuma" in latin america), it is a great anti-inflamatory agent and it also helps with upset stomach when consumed as tea (6-10 gr/Litre), however, it's not medicine so don't expect it to heal a sore joint right away, it can take from 2 to 5 days (a cup a day) and while time-wise worse than pharmaceutical meds, it actually solves the problem rather than just masking the symptoms. Other then that, I've found no benefits outside of the "home remedy" spectrum.
I am an ayurvedic doctor who can tell u one thing that uses of spice like turmeric atleast a pinch a day will definitely protect ur health in one or the other way (when used as food)... where as if u want to take it as a medicine u need to consult a physician (who atleast has 6yrs of Under grad BAMS degree) and explore all the benifits it can give(i have best results in diabetes,cholestrol in my patients).... just like how any other drug u dont prefer OTC ayurveda too is not an OTC med!
From my personal experience, milk boiled with turmeric relieves me of cold and cough. If it is winter, and I feel cold, I have hot water with turmeric... and I don't feel cold. Vaporize with turmeric, makes me feel relaxed (although water vapor alone also does it). Any cuts or wounds, turmeric acts as antiseptic agent.
It's a great supplement for people with IBS. It's proven on rats that it helps with abnormal intestinal contractions. And as recent studies show connection between depression/anxiety and microbiome in the guts, there is also recent one showing that turmeric made rats do better on behavioral tests. As a person with IBS, arthritis, anxiety and other weird autoinflammatory symptoms I'm SURE its all connected and it sounds totally possible that curcumin helps with digestion and mood if there are different studies proving that separately! In my opinion IBS is just a part of some weird and extremely complex disease (like my mum was diagnosed with SAPHO in her late 50, struggling with arthritis and poor digestion her whole life and suddenly developing symptoms of such a rare incurable, unknown autoinflammatory disease.) so incorporating turmeric and other supplements and "cures" for IBS in your diet is totally worth it since we don't know exactly whyyyyyy our guts are like that! Sorry, had to mention all this, cause you made this video in response to new trend, for ppl looking for a cure for everything in one thing. While there are ppl who are not looking for miracles but still could get discouraged by this video.
Those things are DELICIOUS! I love Golden Lattes and Golden Milk! The health claims are eye-rolling, but I don't care, I love the taste! Just don't overcharge for them darn it!
Yeah, I was actually quite surprised and pleased by the taste. I honestly thought it would not taste good at all, it totally subverted my expectations!
Turmeric with milk cardamom powder cinnamon sticks and pepper powder with ghee. Works like wonder and tastes heavenly. Use Cow's milk for that unique taste❤
The problem with some of these lab tests is that they use some super concentrated molecular form of the compound instead of it as a raw ingredient.... sometimes the raw spice/fruit/whatever has extra stuff in it to help the body absorb it better or balance its effects and stuff.
I do drink golden milk, in the winter.... because I love it My recipe 1 qt unsweetened almond milk 1 oz heavy cream 1tbsp each: turmeric, ginger, & cinnamon .5 tsp finely ground black pepper Bring to a light boil then let simmer 10 or more minutes. Sweeten to taste. It's a nice warming drink best served with a good book
I Am Enough you used almost the exact same reply as you did in a different comment. Also, it's not being exploited; there's nothing wrong with using turmeric or coffee and no one said that the US is the world and that white culture is the only one. By your logic, you're exploiting foods and technology created by "the white man".
Turmeric half teaspoon mixed with olive oil has fixed my parrot's broken leg. His bone was broken and all I did was heat this mixture and massaged it 3 times a day on his leg. It worked wonders.
I think you guys owe turmeric itself a video now. Focusing on lattes and antioxidant effects is very misleading. Turmeric supplements have been found to be VERY effective anti-inflammatories...
They are simply responding to the most common claim, which is that it is a superfood and an antioxidant. And do you have the citations for studies showing that turmeric powder (not pure curcumin), on it's own is a "VERY effective" anti-inflammatory? I'd like to read it. Studies that show that curcumin powder has an effect have nothing to do with turmeric, as you wouldn't be able to consume enough actual turmeric to hit the dose of pure curcumin powder they use in those studies. (Usually somewhere between 2000 mg and 20,000 mg)
most people dont know that unless they add a good bit of black pepper for the piperine compound in the pepper to their Tumeric or Curcumin supplements, the Curcumin will for the most part just pass through you because curcumin by itself has a low bioavailability. Turmeric and black pepper each have health benefits, due to the compounds curcumin and piperine. As piperine enhances curcumin absorption in the body by up to 2,000%, combining the spices magnifies their effects. They may reduce inflammation and improve digestion, particularly in supplement form
I consume quite large quantity of turmeric (est. 10 - 25g per large meal - est. 1kg total + side dish) and I've never noticed any yellow tinted excrements. I consume it mostly because I like the taste, but I've noticed that it also helps me manage allergy attacks, asthma and calm my digestion - probably because the anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric compounds. I always use turmeric powder by heating it in oil until it starts bubbling. Curcumin is not water soluble so it needs to be dissolved in oil to be absorbed by your body. So I am very skeptical about the studies which use turmeric or curcumin without dissolving it in oil. Also I would be very skeptical about any effects when you just sprinkle turmeric on something. I think that people from particular asian cultures have to be screaming: "Why the hell would you use it that way?", since it's know to have adverse affects (bowel irritation instead of anti-inflammatory effects) when used without cooking in oil.
Turmeric milk is such a refreshing beverage when prepared with actual turmeric and all the other spices. I mix a few tablespoons of it into a chai latte powder, and add ground pepper, curry powder, mixed spice, pepper, cardamom, and a good amount of salt. There's just something about the heat of all those flavours, it's super invigorating, all science aside.
I use Turmeric and black pepper as an anti inflammatory. I can't take traditional anti inflammatories due to NAFLD. I was in pretty bad shape before I found out Turmeric with a small amount of black pepper worked. My skin lesions started drying up and when I become short of breath due to exertion causing inflammation, I take one capsule and start feeling relief within a few minutes. I get the generic drug store brand. Its not very expensive and it relieves the pain without damaging my already damaged liver.
I can say that tumeric has worked as a great antiseptic and boosted my immunity. I used to take half a spoonful every morning, straight up. Besides having it a most of the food i eat. it's helped, but I wouldn't say that it cures cancer. Going by what people say, I should be a golden goddess. lol.
I filled a little pot with my “coffee spices”. Turmeric, cinnamon, ginger and ground pepper. I add half a teaspoon of this mix every morning to my coffee and cream- because I like it. Whether or not there are incidental benefits is actually beside the point for me.
Greg Belcher people believed the earth was the center of the universe for centuries... doesnt mean it is correct. A lot more research needs to be done imo
It’s interesting but not necessary to tell this, because it won’t hurt you if you consume it on a daily basis (except when using certain medications). The placebo-effect is also very strong: kurkuma can do miracles for your health when you believe it is possible.
Yeah it is too bad that Human testing is so limited despite the fact that Humans are the only species on Earth that we are able to receive consent from.
After I added turmeric to my old dogs diet she was able to walk again and run up stairs jump on the bed She lived 4 more years after the vet was advising to put her down she lived to almost 17 yrs old Proof is in the pudding!!! ✌😉💙
After consuming a diet of nothing but turmeric for the past year, I can confirm that I am not only immortal, but I am also impervious to all physical harm.
I did some research on the effect of curcumin on breast cancer It does all sort of things and influences a lot of biological processes that could be beneficial for your health. But the concentrations you get are way too low, has quite poor bio availability and effects vary from tissue to tissue. It certainly can be beneficial, but it probably act is concert with millions of other compounds in your food
"It does all sort of things and influences a lot of biological processes that could be beneficial for your health." And it does just as many things that might be harmful too.
Yeah... Maybe check out Rick Simpson Oil for that instead... I feel like the chances of it curing your cancer will be much greater than with curcumin...
I have it everyday before breakfast along with ginger as it is an anti-Inflammatory from a spinal cord injury. Chronic pain patients know about it so wish they’d mentioned it.
Personally I just like the taste of tumeric... and all this "Miracle cure" nonsense has caused the price of tumeric to significantly increase, which is really annoying for those of us that arent trying to cure cancer with flavor
'Personally', everybody likes is FFS. And complaining about the cost of turmeric is like complaining about the cost of ketchup. A large bottle of it is about $2, so WGAF?
Kind of disingenuous to go after the most outlandish claims instead of doing a more nuanced reporting. There has also been several advances in the delivery of this and similar substances that increases bio-availability by quite a bit, which you either choose not to report on or your research was sloppy.
The more I'm watching Scishow, the more I notice how they cheerry pick studies and make big click baity names to then do a super sloppy video about the topic :L
I really like tumeric and I truly believe that it is a good ingredient but not a superfood like some people seem to say. Almost all plants we eat have their own nutritional characteristics and all of them are good for us that is #nature. But what I don't understand is why choose some of them and call it superfood ? I smell some #marketing stuff in there ..
I make it because it looks beautiful and the warmth helps me feel calm after a long day. I can't stand most hot drinks but sweet and spice hits the spot. 👌
Tumeric is in! *checks phone* No, now it is terrible for you. Coconut is in now! *checks phone again. Nevermind, coconut is bad, now it's charcoal- wait, tumeric is back in no wait, now it is nutmeg.
rule of thumb: 9 times out of 10, when a spice that's commonly used in food already suddenly gets famous for curing cancer/preventing inflammation/prolonging life/all of the above, it usually doesn't.
Come on Scishow, I didn't expect this, Polyphenols are compounds with multiple hydroxyl groups on aromatic carbon rings, not with multiple carbon rings
In other words, turmeric might help a little, but it won't help a latte.
*slow clap*
Lol please stop

I Am Enough stolen by the white man..... oh boy here we go again more racist BS
I Am Enough you used almost the exact same reply as you did in a different comment. Also, it's not being exploited; there's nothing wrong with using turmeric or coffee and no one said that the US is the world and that white culture is the only one. By your logic, you're exploiting foods and technology created by "the white man".
@I Am Enough Stop exploiting our internet then brown man. If you want to make a ridiculous claim then I will too.
I Am Enough you’re a racist bigoted MORON. stop posting this nonsense
I Am Enough silly racist. Let's not be a bad person eh?
Turmeric half teaspoon mixed with olive oil has fixed my parrot's broken leg. His bone was broken and all I did was heat this mixture and massaged it 3 times a day on his leg. It worked wonders.
I think you guys owe turmeric itself a video now. Focusing on lattes and antioxidant effects is very misleading. Turmeric supplements have been found to be VERY effective anti-inflammatories...
Euclid Panarchy its probably a different chemical that is responsible for those effects
Mandrake Fernflower, nope, it's the same compound, curcumin. SciShowis misleading.
They are simply responding to the most common claim, which is that it is a superfood and an antioxidant. And do you have the citations for studies showing that turmeric powder (not pure curcumin), on it's own is a "VERY effective" anti-inflammatory? I'd like to read it. Studies that show that curcumin powder has an effect have nothing to do with turmeric, as you wouldn't be able to consume enough actual turmeric to hit the dose of pure curcumin powder they use in those studies. (Usually somewhere between 2000 mg and 20,000 mg)
most people dont know that unless they add a good bit of black pepper for the piperine compound in the pepper to their Tumeric or Curcumin supplements, the Curcumin will for the most part just pass through you because curcumin by itself has a low bioavailability.
Turmeric and black pepper each have health benefits, due to the compounds curcumin and piperine. As piperine enhances curcumin absorption in the body by up to 2,000%, combining the spices magnifies their effects. They may reduce inflammation and improve digestion, particularly in supplement form
I consume quite large quantity of turmeric (est. 10 - 25g per large meal - est. 1kg total + side dish) and I've never noticed any yellow tinted excrements. I consume it mostly because I like the taste, but I've noticed that it also helps me manage allergy attacks, asthma and calm my digestion - probably because the anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric compounds. I always use turmeric powder by heating it in oil until it starts bubbling. Curcumin is not water soluble so it needs to be dissolved in oil to be absorbed by your body. So I am very skeptical about the studies which use turmeric or curcumin without dissolving it in oil. Also I would be very skeptical about any effects when you just sprinkle turmeric on something. I think that people from particular asian cultures have to be screaming: "Why the hell would you use it that way?", since it's know to have adverse affects (bowel irritation instead of anti-inflammatory effects) when used without cooking in oil.
Excess causes liver damage?
*I'm watching this but I'm really thinking about curry* aaaand now I'm hungry
Me too.
Blanche Yap coconut curry shrimp with penuts.
Turmeric milk is such a refreshing beverage when prepared with actual turmeric and all the other spices. I mix a few tablespoons of it into a chai latte powder, and add ground pepper, curry powder, mixed spice, pepper, cardamom, and a good amount of salt. There's just something about the heat of all those flavours, it's super invigorating, all science aside.
Yeah, it can make your skin glow... yellow if it goes on your skin
I use Turmeric and black pepper as an anti inflammatory. I can't take traditional anti inflammatories due to NAFLD. I was in pretty bad shape before I found out Turmeric with a small amount of black pepper worked. My skin lesions started drying up and when I become short of breath due to exertion causing inflammation, I take one capsule and start feeling relief within a few minutes.
I get the generic drug store brand. Its not very expensive and it relieves the pain without damaging my already damaged liver.
It might not be magic, but it is super delicious!
I take turmeric in a glass of milk with a pinch of fine black pepper for lower back pain and it's helped me immensely.
I can say that tumeric has worked as a great antiseptic and boosted my immunity. I used to take half a spoonful every morning, straight up. Besides having it a most of the food i eat. it's helped, but I wouldn't say that it cures cancer. Going by what people say, I should be a golden goddess. lol.
I filled a little pot with my “coffee spices”. Turmeric, cinnamon, ginger and ground pepper.
I add half a teaspoon of this mix every morning to my coffee and cream- because I like it. Whether or not there are incidental benefits is actually beside the point for me.
delicious in fried cauliflower
Curcuma golden milk has helped me so much. The most important i s to use turmeric and pepper. It is great for inflamatory problems.
Thank you girl from the Big Bang theory
The Man or Woman who came up with that PAIN anagram is a F***ING genius!
Then why does it work for multitudes of people and why has it been used for centuries?
Greg Belcher people believed the earth was the center of the universe for centuries... doesnt mean it is correct. A lot more research needs to be done imo
Harishimomo That's completely different. There was no way to know what you brought up, but it would be easy to know if Turmeric actually worked.
For the same reason EVERY spice has been used for centuries...to flavor food.
It’s interesting but not necessary to tell this, because it won’t hurt you if you consume it on a daily basis (except when using certain medications). The placebo-effect is also very strong: kurkuma can do miracles for your health when you believe it is possible.
At least we can provide excellent healthcare for rats from all our studies on effects of medicines on rats 😅
dojokonojo +
dojokonojo yay for us?
I want to start a business selling artisanal rat meat burgers. I will only source from the healthiest rats thanks to these studies.
Yeah it is too bad that Human testing is so limited despite the fact that Humans are the only species on Earth that we are able to receive consent from.
It's too bad the way they figure out the health effects is by autopsy.
I don’t drink anything golden, but I do enjoy the occasional golden shower. Does wonders for your skin.
“People and even scientists...”
😂 😂
ITS Yummy, and a nice warm drink I started having at night, sleep and wake feeling great. Soooo..... try what works for you. I LOVE IT!
Could only watch her and hear her voice for 42 seconds, then I couldn’t take anymore.
Oh good, it’s harmless. You had me worried for a moment.
Why does her voice do that at the end of every sentence! 😂
😂
After I added turmeric to my old dogs diet she was able to walk again and run up stairs jump on the bed
She lived 4 more years after the vet was advising to put her down she lived to almost 17 yrs old
Proof is in the pudding!!! ✌😉💙
Awesome news!!! 👏♥️
someone should make a compilation of all the last words in Olivia's sentences.
The voice fry 🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉😑
Finally, a NO BS report!
It's just a spice, the "super food" label is for marketing purposes only
After consuming a diet of nothing but turmeric for the past year, I can confirm that I am not only immortal, but I am also impervious to all physical harm.
turmeric = happy taste-buds = better everything :)
Faith in humanity is consistently in a downward spiral.
I did some research on the effect of curcumin on breast cancer
It does all sort of things and influences a lot of biological processes that could be beneficial for your health.
But the concentrations you get are way too low, has quite poor bio availability and effects vary from tissue to tissue.
It certainly can be beneficial, but it probably act is concert with millions of other compounds in your food
"It does all sort of things and influences a lot of biological processes that could be beneficial for your health."
And it does just as many things that might be harmful too.
Yeah... Maybe check out Rick Simpson Oil for that instead... I feel like the chances of it curing your cancer will be much greater than with curcumin...
Or maybe check out your local hospital
They got the stuff that actually has a chance to cure your cancer ;)
The spicy compound in pepper you guys covered increases cut cumin availability by like 1000 percent
What accent do these hosts have? It's unbearable the way their voice goes up and down, and the way everything sounds like a question.
Your noticing the smug condescending tone of "true sceptics" and yes I agree, unbearable
I have it everyday before breakfast along with ginger as it is an anti-Inflammatory from a spinal cord injury. Chronic pain patients know about it so wish they’d mentioned it.
Personally I just like the taste of tumeric... and all this "Miracle cure" nonsense has caused the price of tumeric to significantly increase, which is really annoying for those of us that arent trying to cure cancer with flavor
'Personally', everybody likes is FFS. And complaining about the cost of turmeric is like complaining about the cost of ketchup. A large bottle of it is about $2, so WGAF?
@@skandababy why do you care?
You may be interested in knowing that the ad that ran in front of this video for me was an ad about superfoods that "detox" you, whatever that means.
Kind of disingenuous to go after the most outlandish claims instead of doing a more nuanced reporting.
There has also been several advances in the delivery of this and similar substances that increases bio-availability by quite a bit, which you either choose not to report on or your research was sloppy.
Well said.
Well she's Jewish so shilling is naturally in her blood.
Piperine for one
...
The more I'm watching Scishow, the more I notice how they cheerry pick studies and make big click baity names to then do a super sloppy video about the topic :L
Tom Tom samee
Use the whole food, add black pepper, cold for inflammation, hot for dna repair enzyme activation.
Honestly, Golden Milk has been a thing for ages before it became popular with Western foodies.
Exactly, it was something my mother used to give me when I had a bad throat. Hot milk, turmeric powder, black pepper and palm sugar.
Whenever i my gums become inflamed due to my growing wisdom teeth, i take turmeric tea. The pain goes away in about 10 minutes or less. I swear by it.
I really like tumeric and I truly believe that it is a good ingredient but not a superfood like some people seem to say. Almost all plants we eat have their own nutritional characteristics and all of them are good for us that is #nature. But what I don't understand is why choose some of them and call it superfood ? I smell some #marketing stuff in there ..
I make it because it looks beautiful and the warmth helps me feel calm after a long day. I can't stand most hot drinks but sweet and spice hits the spot. 👌
So.. what's the sad truth again!?
That there is no magical superfood cure for cancer. Cancer will always exist.
SAK- SOON some day you will expire regardless of what you eat
David Boucard, no one was claiming it cured cancer. Curcumin has *very* potent anti-inflammatory properties.
Idk about these western cafe fads but where I come from, turmeric fried rice with butter sauteed veggies? Honey, I'm set for life
you know what makes my skin glow? cherenkov radiation... that and lysergic acid diethylamide!
😂 😂
I was worried when I saw the title, but it sounds like it’s fine. I don’t like golden lattes for health; they’re just tasty.
Neck sweaters in July?! Where's the video explaining that logic?...
Kurt Cocaine They are in Montana if I'm not mistaken, and I assume they have A/C. She may be cold natured.
Have you seen this girl? Definitely not the standard for women's fashion.
She is in an office. It is easier to cool an office down, and where a sweater, then nothing in high heat
Gabriel Keefe if she wasnt such a weirdo already I'd buy that. But I imagine her being outside in front of a green screen.
You're not allowed to insult her cloths, unwashed hair, facial piercings, or voice buddy!
Amy back at it again
I personally prefer weed in my latte.

Dood thas epic

I'm sorry I know this is extremely immature, but I busted up laughing at the mention of "nut milk"
Lol, its stupid to test one element, the whole is different then just the sum of its parts.
Tumeric is in! *checks phone* No, now it is terrible for you. Coconut is in now! *checks phone again. Nevermind, coconut is bad, now it's charcoal- wait, tumeric is back in no wait, now it is nutmeg.
They don't make up there mind!
Love these vids but I struggle with the creaky voice.
Forget those super fail foods, the real super food is chocolate, chocolate is love and world peace.
I prefer it in a curry anyway.
rule of thumb: 9 times out of 10, when a spice that's commonly used in food already suddenly gets famous for curing cancer/preventing inflammation/prolonging life/all of the above, it usually doesn't.
Trending. Nice.
For anyone taking curcumin or turmeric, mixing with a small amount of black pepper can increase absorption rate by 10 times or more
She's so annoying, saying everything as if it was a question....
Come on Scishow, I didn't expect this, Polyphenols are compounds with multiple hydroxyl groups on aromatic carbon rings, not with multiple carbon rings
🤔
A doctor told me that turmeric has anticoagulant properties, but I've not been able to find anything online about that.
let me sum up the video it's bad for you now you don't have to watch your welcome
Sotp it.
Kyotosomo, Found you!
Thanks!
You havent watched the video, have you?
no ?
The placebo effect is great. I like it.
