hey hank, thanks for educating me on the matter. very sweet of you
Ahahaha! puns :3
HA
HAAAAAAAAAAAA
He 'lead' us right into that one.

2012 Hank is my favorite. ❤😂 Who am I kidding? All Hanks are my favorite.
Thank you so much for this. I've hit fifty, and my usual practice of maintaining my sugar intake hit a new snafu. It is good to know this information. Last month, I was telling my doctor the substitutes were increasing my sugar cravings. Now this video has explained this is true, confirming I'm not crazy, I can tackle and handle my sugar demands far better. Thank you again!
My silly hobby is to recommend science-channel
to my fellow science-fans.
Mind?
hey! i know this video is older but I've recently been told about how we still have an insulin response when using SOME artificial sweeteners. could you do a video on that and the repercussions of insulin in the bloodstream when there is no sugar to be dealt with?
Wow 4 years time and no comment
@@Dovidbretrue
Sucralose is said to be especially bad for that. Probably because it is technically a sugar ("ose"), we just don't have the enzyme to digest it
NoLabCoatRequired has a good video about that. Basically the evidence is mixed, and it depends on the presentation of the food.
i think it's better to eat natural sugar in controlled amounts atleast our bodies have been used to it for thousands of years
Dear Hank, you keep mentioning that fructose and glucose are chemically very similar. However in the context of metabolism, fructose and glucose are very different. Glucose is metabolised primarily with insulin , either into storage (fat) or glycogen for immediate use. However fructose can't. It is metabolised primarily by the liver, creating various metabolic byproducts. However, because fructose is so chemically similar to glucose, it can gum up the insulin pathways, causing the pancreas to work harder producing more insulin to metabolise the same amount of blood sugar load. In this way, both sucrose and HFCS are much harder on the liver and pancreas than rice, pasta or glucose syrup are, calorie for calorie . Can you please do a video about this metabolic difference? ( my husband and I are co-patreons)
Can someone explain to me why dumb puns get so many likes and something interesting is left aside?
Don't bother trying to correct him.
Faultty hey brother I am a type one diabetic I use novalog to digest fructose?
Dont bring carbs into this sweet talk.
He doesn't have control over what he says I'm sure, he flinches when he says something ungrounded.
If I only saw this 3 years ago when I was working in a lab studying artificial sweeteners😂 it was a multi variable experiment where we gave the rats either sugar water, saccharin sweetened water or regular water (control). Within those groups there were high fat/ low fat diet groups. From what I remember, the rats that got the saccharin sweetened water were noticeably bigger at the end before uh... “sacrificing” them. There’s a reason I left the lab 😂 learned how difficult holding a 1kg rat was 🙄
Why is holding a 1 kg rat difficult? It's only 1 kilogram! Maybe it has something to do with the rat crawling on your hand?
I love Scishow and I admire Hank Green's way of presentation
Wow, I never new why they labeled gas unleaded. You learn something new everyday. Good video.
*nervously looks at captain crunch box on desk*
2 years
Oh god
How times have changed
There's no vitamin C in Cap'n Crunch. The Cap'n has scurvy from eating his own cereal.
Lol
I love throw backs I love how you've changed as a host!!
I LOVE this episode! Thank you so much, Hank & crew! Honestly!
This is exactly what you guys needed to do. addressing a bigger problem with smaller ideas that come together
Love this compilation, please do more on common video topics :D
American: "Sixty nine teaspoons a day!"
Europe:"No, six-to-nine teaspoons a day."
scishow just uploaded a video. Sweet!
not a video, a human centipede of old content passed off as new.
Is that supposed to be a pun?
Not everyone has watched every, single, one of the videos so in the case someone missed those (Like me) you can learn something you wouldn't have
i hate you
Omg
Excellent collection of videos! Now that Reality Docs are prevalent on learning channels, I think the best way for anyone to absorb some knowledge are these sweet lil videos that are very topic oriented found on the internet. Thank you and keep up the great job guys!
Thank you for finally lighting the reality. I was back in the days repeatedly cursed out as a conspiracy theorist for claiming that "diet soda" drinking fat people get fatter by drinking "diet soda". ...+ touting along jelly beans, choco bars and various other snacks in their pockets :D
I very much enjoyed this extra long video, and you all for having compiled it.
Thanks for taking the time to do this. c:
Some of the past vids I remember, but it's nice to see again.
I have a really dangerous allergic reaction to Stevia, and it's in no way labelled on products where I live because... Well, I have no idea. If you have Hay Fever or are just prone to allergies, avoid Stevia until you're certain it doesn't affect you.
Also, if you live in Ireland, don't drink Coca-Cola Life or Sprite. Sprite gave me blisters around my mouth for over two weeks, and the replacement of sugar in it with Stevia wasn't even shown on the front of the bottle or in the allergy information.
Jazzy Moth very interesting!! I have severe hayfever, however i have a (terrible) love for the ocassional sprite! Ive never had a reaction... Just shows how strange and diverse human bodies can be!!
Jazzy Moth ME TOO! Makes me ill for a day or two. When someone gives me a home-made cookie, it usually goes in the trash, because they lie about the Stevia.
Stevia gives me migraines and stomachaches. Tastes nasty, so I don't miss it.
God bless you for the heads up! Thanks so much
Sugar is even worse so do yourself some good and just drink water or plain tea
Man, now I want to rewatch SciShow for the evolution of Hank's host voice
I really liked this video, just thought I'd let yall know.
thanks for sharing
How does this get 37 likes...
+Littletwinkster AJ because they also liked it. They agreed. Now go sit on a cactus and eat lego
I was just saying.... I liked it too btw
Littletwinkster AJ 0_o I got home from lab today to find this, I don't know either.
Do a video on artificial dyes in food.
I'm DYEING to know
Okay I'll leave ._.
They have and like always people think if something is artificial, its bad even if its the chemical equivalent...
Artificial preservatives, flavors, and colors are all Bad. Better to choose Organic Foods.
You missed the episode that mentioned the difference between artificial and natural flavors, didn't you?
(Hint: It has nothing to do with the chemical, and everything to do with how we got it. If I take a beaker of Chemical A and a beaker of Chemical B, and mix them and they react, forming exactly 2 beakers' worth of Chemical C, then Chemical C is artificial. If, instead, I genetically engineer bacteria to produce Chemical C when fed Chemicals D, E, and F, then Chemical C is natural.
So which would you rather have? The carefully measured and produced artificial one? or the messy bacteria-rich [Until filtered or, more likely, treated] natural version? )
+Taiju Sakai If you mean to imply that natural things are always good, take the case of lead in the video.
This morning out of the blue my 5 year old said "Let's watch SciShow." 👍
Laura Johnson That child has a bright future ahead of ’em! :D
@Uncle Joe Believe me, we could learn a lot from you Aussies, up here in the U.S. If only we could get the egos under control of the people who are too... whatever it is.... to admit that our systems suck and that some (most, really) of our cousins across the globe have found great success in their systems.
You'd think that if a country really wanted to be top-notch, it'd take all the best ideas from around the world and implement them at home.
Maybe we (the United States) need to hit rock bottom before enough people are willing to admit that there are better ways to achieve a higher quality of life. I'll be long dead by then (before people are willing to admit, not before we hit rock bottom, sadly), but hopefully my grandchildren might have a chance.
Parenting goals 👍🏻
3:27 No way! I'm eating cap'n'crunch as he told me that! *continues eating*
I always wondered what was so appealing about lead paint two young children… You are in something new every day!
+SciShow You are not supposed io eat from or with lab equipment.
Awesome mug designed like a beaker! sorry for interupting!
+Bigus Dickus your name is funny but I'm scared to laugh...
Io?
hey biggvs, why crucify brian?
arthur staal The was the thaitor of thithilia!
You can see and hear the videos become better with every new video in the complimation
Wow that didn't feel like 24 minutes
right!?
I didn't even notice how long the video was until I saw your comment
No it's just gross
You're right, it felt closer to 25 minutes.
You might be dreaming ..... dreamer😂😂
Thank you again for these compilations. Have really been enjoying these longer dumps of info.
*stares at 3 empty bottles of Diet Coke*
That was a exceptional video. I really enjoyed that. I never knew that about lead being sweet. But would explain a lot.
"Fillin' up yo snack hole" OMG😂
15:24 - One of the most interesting things in this video was how artificial sweeteners may *deprogram your brain's ability to count calories*, ultimately leading to weight gain.
I finally understand why some people can eat lot and lot of sweet food. To me, its unfathomable, im the type that easily feel full
yeah, blame it on the artificial sweeteners. I couldn't tell 4 double cheeseburgers were too much.
Mark
Hank has a great sense of humor!
Only 2012 Hank, though. Not today's Hank.
That moment where I feel proud for dropping soda...
...I mean, it was a mess and spilled everywhere, but at least it won't get to harm anyone.
Swapping to diet soda was a good choice.
@@robertharris6092 nope, according to this very video, it can cause all sorts of health problems. Drink the sugared soda, if you must drink soda. At least your body knows what to do with the sugar.
@@MaryAnnNytowl except this thing calls self control exists. Also some studdied have disagreed that is even a thing.
Sweet video man!
GOTTA love this guy!! He makes learning Tons of Fun. He is articulate, funny, easy to understand, and KNOWS HIS STUFF!! He seems to be able to absorb even complex knowledge easily, then explain it in a way that is not "dumbed down", but that almost any reasonably well educated can almost instantly understand - in fact his presentations have a "layered" aspect: the basic concepts can be easily understood by almost ANYBODY, but there is usually extra information for those who know a bit more science. FULL KUDOS!! One small beef: he talks TOO FAST!!!
can you do a video on autism?
Pretty sure he already did - Crash Course Psychology
+Ristar85 Wtf is 4chan
+6kvin10 I don't think you want to know.
+Joseph Fox Autism is a bit of a too broad spectrum to make a small video about.
DaBeanLord oh my fucking god.... what have I just seen.
howtf did he know i was on a captain crunch diet
America ran outta *glucose* the kids used too much in art class, and so, desperate Americans nationwide resorted to eating the glue portrayed as milk in Captain Crunch commercials. The after-effects of this tragedy are still widely documented.
*I'm sorry, I had to.*
me every time I eat something sugary: I'M EATING THE SUN XD
Man, i wish they did more of these! I like em since i havent watched sll of the scishow vids yet
Great video. You guys should do a segment on Miracle Fruit(synsepalum dulcificum), which tricks your taste buds into thinking things are sweeter than they are.
My favorite SciShow video
Loved it
Table sugar is made from the sugar beet and the sugar cane. In countries with corporal punishment they often *beat* the criminal with a *cane.* Is that what is meant by the phrase "sweet justice?"
Yes. Some people need a good beet-ing.
+Bruce Dunn Did you just?
Random Account I have no shame.
+Random Account Go back to Tumblr
At least you didn't make some corny joke about fructose
Beautifully done!!!!!!!! As a Chemist I have tried in vain to explain these exact facts to others for years! Now I will just link your link.
You briefly touched in different sugar chemistry, a more detailed explanation would be great for your audience (galactose maltose ribose etc..)
Could you please do an episode on Cis-Trans fatty acids focusing on butter versus margarine?
Hank you are an incredible science communicator!! I am envious 👍 WELL DONE
Hank, that's a _sweet_ shirt you got there.
Big Brother actually genuinely considering that, so yeah I might.
It stands for Kind Young Soul dummy
Wow big funny
Which one?
This was very interesting, as was the evolution of your presentation style, thank you.
i would love to know more about other artificial sweeteners like monkfruit and xylitol
Me too.
Me too, as well.
Monk fruit is not a fruit???
@@NancyRutland it is technically a gourd and is calorie free.
@@princessrose17 fyi calorie free doesn't mean what you think it means
Very interesting video, also nice shirts, the switching between videos made them stand out more, looking good
I'd like us all to go back to a time when hank regularly ate weird things on Scishow.
the long videos are the best! love it!
you should cover all the different forms of sugars like Lactose and Galactose and beyond. Also maybe ever cover lactose intolerance a bit more. :;;:))))
You guys and girl are all adorable. Thank you for your facts.
you should do a video on Ketogenic (high fat/ low carb) diets!
very good compilation ! thanks !
8:50 I had a cat that insisted on sharing my Snickers, what's going on there? Istanbul cats may have a sweet tooth
Maybe it was the nuts.
*Love* this compilation w/ commentary! Liked and added to "Health" playlist -- I would definitely watch future videos in this format! +SciShow
My silly hobby is to recommend science-channel
to my fellow science-fans.
Mind?
12:08 But I thought that lead was the first artifical sweetener...
edit* I should've finished the video first...
Fun fact about lead in fuel (19:40 - 21:02): Almost all fuel used in piston-powered airplanes (most non-jet) still has lead in it. I looked up the amount, and its about 1.5 grams per gallon. The standard grade is 100LL (low-lead.)
Hey, nice episode. Just a small mistake aspartame structure is completely wrong. it should be methyl ester of N-(L-α-Aspartyl)-L-phenylalanine, you are showing structure of sacharine
Thank you.
Lead in gasoline... Found a pump in CA about 2012 that had off-road 108 octane fuel that was labeled as containing lead. AV gas still has some lead in it, as do many racing fuels such as C116. We do use a lot less of it than we did in 1975 though.
I would remind Hank of Sodium Cyclamate, discovered in the 1930's, used as a sweetener in the 1950's, and now banned in the U.S.
It tasted a lot better than the pink stuff.
I love you, SciShow.
Erythritol is pretty damned close and occurs naturally (though what you buy at the store cane from a lab)
Leaving the typo 😂
My (silly) hobby is to recommend science-channel

0:59 "There'sabunchofdifferentkindsofsugarsbutthey'reall... sweet-tasting, edible carbohydrates. Oh, CARBOHYDRATES! Probably the tastiest word in the English language." This is gorgeous spoken word. :D Love you, SciShow & Hank Green et al., thanks for what you do so thoroughly and entertainingly. (
"2012 Hank"
2018 me is dying
Same here ! But we all are. I got too much lead in my head. I loved breathing sweet smelling car exhaust when I was 5 (1958). It smelled soooo good. Streets, hiways, then freeways became redolent forests of vehicles emitting a favorite even now smell of lead infused hydrocarbons. Ahhhh, those were the days.
2021 me is laughing
loving the compilations! Thanks Scishow
Seeing him eat the spoon of sugar made me feel awful
DIABETES INTENSIFIES
Same
But...
but it helps the medicine go down
It reminds me of that Parks and Recreation episode about the soda tax 😂🥤
Me, too, like birthday cake frosting.
One of the best TH-cam shows
Why do humans get awkward in pauses in conversation?
The same reason "filler" words, such as "but", "um", "like", etc, exist, it gives us time to put our thoughts together so we can continue a conversation. However "awkward silences" take it a step further. The conversation has come to a natural stop, but we've been socialised to think that if we aren't talking it's wierd and we have to keep talking, so the "awkward silence" gets longer because both parties feel uncomfortable and are desperately focusing on both finding something to talk about, and how awkward them not talking is.

Sounds like me trying to communicate with the other sex

Sounds like me trying to communicate with the other sex
josh Subet Best tip for getting better at that is to learn not to give a shit dude. If you're looking at talking to people as a way to achieve something (a friend, a relationship, etc.) it becomes a task. once you stop caring and just take things as then come things start to get easier
Communication is very complex and a lot of it is subconscious (for example we may detect changes in tone/facial expression that we don't feel are obvious enough to mention). I'd expect that to explain awkward pauses, a video on the complexities of social interaction would be necessary.
Y'all are awesome. I have learned so much.
"i'm worried I'm gonna get a stumma cake"
We also used lead in plumbing. I recall removing Victorian era lead pipes from a house I lived in as a teen. It was so fun and bendy. Also lead solder was used until recently. Recently being relative due to my age. Thank you for all your programs. I love them.
This was fantastic do more please
But why do I have bananas around my
Table...
So your legs will have appeal.
+Bruce Dunn My legs are already sexy, I hope they don't overdose on being sexy.
Are you wearing slippers?
+Bruce Dunn I'm wearing bunny slippers
Yes, sounds sexy.
Feature length sci show!! More please!!!
5:30 // "Do the haters have a point?" lol
I love the format for short videos. But for a video this long, it's as exhausting to me as my parents say only one episode is for them.
you know what else is sweet? adderall! lets put that in everything!
Cool comp. keep up the good work hank!
wait... corndogs are real??? OMG i thought that was just a tv thing
justin van der werf what century are you living in?
I’m assuming you’re not American 😂
Made from China tm
I'm confused, there is a part of the planet with access to computers and wifi that doesn't know about corn dogs?
MOST corn-dogs, lunchmeats, and canned meats are filled w high fructose corn syrup. Hair, butt-holes and cigarette butts, cheeks (fore and aft), ears, noses, feathers, feet, and the rest of what might be leftover from an animal is what goes into a hot-dog the center of the well-known and loved corn-dog.
"It was also found to be an effect perservant because... Well, it kills stuff"
🤣🤣🤣
I'm dead.
I think the part about fooling our brains into craving more should be near the beginning. That's why high fructose corn syrup is so "fattening" if not addictive. Still better than Pb though. That's the best thing I can say about it.
Yeah that hyperactive thing. I'm actually addicted to energy drinks and people always ask me if I dont get hyper or whatever. No, I dont. Never have. It makes me feel more awake and I feel like I can concentrate better. It really doesn't make me "over active". 'Sugar rush' sounds so dramatic too, while I feel its only a little effect. Drinking more than 2-3 cans a day does give other consequences, though. Shaky, sweaty, restless. But that also depends a lot on my other (diet) habits. And yes, I know its bad for me. Why do I drink it then? Well it tastes good and I'm probably 90% of the problem addicted to the caffeine inside. The habit basicly just slipped in the passed 10 years, drinking a little more and more each year.
I only stop Eating when I start Crying.
Shashank Laur so when the foods gone got it
That's sad.
Leaded gasoline is still sold in the US for aviation use.
Leads not that bad
sci show should make a video on the "dark web" and when and how it was made , who agrees?
Always interesting, thank you.
why is there sugar around my anus
THE JOKE HAD BEEN MADE. NOBODY ELSE HAS TO SAY IT.
You must have one sweet ass
I wouldn't mind licking it
STFU
To attract a mate
way to run a joke into the ground, think of something a little more original for once
excellent video, as always. keep up the great content.
you forgot to say that CELLULOSE is made of sugar -- this fact is mindblowing.
actually all plants sweet or not are built of sugar!!
If we had cellulase enzyme like some bacteria do, we could get the Nutrition from grass .
Damnit!
And we do have bacteria in our guts (or pretty much anywhere). IIRC plants generally have a very low amount of calories per volume and you'd need to eat several garbage bags worth of grass each day to be full. Might be different for cotton though, not sure :-)
So is chitin the main component of arthropod shells.
acetylglucosamine is not equal to glucose.
it's *sweet* of you to make a video like this
Up next... Maroon 5, Sugar.
Yes please
I actually like the compilation. Hope there going to be more.
When did Scishow go all 90's sitcom? I mean, flashbacks? xD
great compilation ... thanks
Just gotta say stevia tastes like cancer
SAY MY NAME!!!
You've tasted cancer?
SuperSaqer i use honey or nothing
TheGermanPanda yeah it taste like stevia
you can mix stevia sugger with normal sugger or hunny, it blocks the aftertaste a bit ^^
Love your shirt modern Hank.
The problem is I hate the taste of sugar.
You're either lying or evolution has failed you and I encourage you not to reproduce
+Happy Flapjack dude
LOL at least I won't become a fatass.
+Happy Flapjack lmao perfect response
+flimsybop I don't think you're refering to cane and beat sugar. You're talking about high fructose corn syrup which tastes like shit.
I got news for you, most of the granulated sugar in stores nowadays is sugar from beets, unless it says specifically "pure cane sugar" on the label, it's from sugar beets.
