- There's a scientific reason behind your "second stomach."

How is it that, after stuffing ourselves full at dinner, we somehow find room to eat again once dessert comes around? Turns out, the thing that makes us do this has a name: It's called "sensory-specific satiety," and it's actually supposed to keep us healthy.

because dessert doesn't go to your belly, it goes to your heart

Me, an intellectual: "We have a salt stomach and a sugar stomach."
Yes
OMGGGG I REMEMBER TO SAY THAT TO MY PARENTS ALL OF THE TIME WHEN I WAS A KIDDD 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Seriously! That's very much how I feel most of the time at work, where I'm often forced to prepare and bring everything I'll eat for 8 to 12 hours. I would have called it savory and sugar though. The most interesting thing about this scientifically to me is that most vegetables don't really seem to fall much into either category. Fruit is sweet. Meat is savory. What is steamed broccoli?
That doesn't seem too “intellectual”
@@Sumanitu I'm very generic with my salt and sugar definitions as far as our 2 stomachs are concerned. I would consider vegetables in the salt category because I will often eat them in the same mouthful with the rest of my food (let alone eating them on the same plate). I didn't use the word savory because I'm unfamiliar with what savory is as although I know of the word, I don't know what savory is supposed to taste like. Fruits are for the sugar stomach yes. but they don't satisfy my sugar stomach no matter how much fruit I eat. Regular desert is the way to go to fill that bad boy up
we live in a satiety
i liked this comment. but in anger.
Isn't it pronounced sa-sha-ty? w/ 1st 'a' long & the 2nd syllable soft?.. I'm not sure, but don't believe it's being said correctly in the vid.
@@joycesutherland6180 It's connected to satiate. As long as you learn how to pronounce satiate (seh-ti-ate) then you can pronounce satiety (seh-tie-t). Alternatively, you can google the word to learn the pronunciation.

@Olivia Dogan HAHAHAH
@Olivia Dogan what?
So basically we choose to be full if we are not interested in the food?
Well, yes, but it's important to specify that it's not a voluntary choice
i kinda thought it was more along the lines of, we misinterpret being no longer interested in the food as being full, not necessarily that we *are* full, or are choosing to be full
@@wasabi42 but we do feel as though we were physically full
not a choice
yes
I'm too distracted by the slop y'all called macaroni and cheese
ikr
Doesn't look too appetizing.
😂😂😂 not a flake of pepper in sight 👀
I’d get full quick off of this too, if it is based on interest lol
It shouldn't even be called macaroni and cheese, it looks like prison food
As long as it's delicious, stomach physics need not apply.

As long as I hate myself enough, stomach physics need not apply.
It’s actually psychology
Mac and cheese then ice cream - my lactose intolerance is shook
I guess it's why a salad with ten ingredients is so much more delicious than a salad with three ingredients.
Also why we like smart phones better than flip phones.

why does vox always answer my weirdest questions?
Because you haven't gone on a Today I Found Out binge, which answers 10 times more of your weird questions
Because you don't have the habit of finding answers for your questions.
"answer" "proven" by an "experiment". lol.
@@userou-ig1ze yep that would be the creationist way of looking at things. On the more rational side, this is a more like "quant observations" of a "small group of people/participatents" doing a "little home experiment" or just trying to answer a question, while making it an interesting casual video for the publics. This isn't actually a full peer reviewed study but they do have some outside sources to back up what their saying, but again nobody is acting like they made the discovery of the century.
Stay woke m8
You should get your share of the profits
The lactose intolerance in me is screaming at that experiment.
Weakness disgusts me
I felt that.. 😭
Its not like you cant eat that.. but i get stomaches especially when its in their milk form.. but its all worth the pain.. i hear that supplying the stomache a little milk might make them evolve.. still trying to cure mine..
Weak bloodline
is mac n cheese bad for lactose intolerant people?
Who else would like to see an inverse experience of this : serve the ice cream first than mac & cheese ?
In Spanish we have a word for not wanting any more sweets. "Empalagado." Like if I have some dessert that's extremely sugary or I have 6 donuts in one day, I wont want to even LOOK at anything sweet for the rest of the day because I'm "empalagado." So some cultures do have words for the opposite too.
I bet they've done that study too. My own personal anecdote is that I often find myself switching from salty to sweet to salty to sweet foods, so (in the video's verson of the experiment) I think if you offered mac and cheese after they've eaten the ice cream, they'd be able to eat more than one ounce of it.
Now that's a scientific approach! Always need a control
@@raghu5038 yeah I teach it to my English speaking friends always cuz it's so useful. We also use it in the context of when a couple is acting so lovey-dovey its disgusting or "tooth rooting sweet" is I think the expression in English sometimes used? You can see an annoying couple and say they are "empalagosos" meaning "prone to give you/one feelings of being empalagado." 😏😅😂
@@aleks-33 I actually say "hostigada" but overall I agree with you
"A giant plate of mac and cheese" = what i eat everyday
That was a regular plate if at all. And I'm just a 150 pound guy
@@moXon460 Yeah glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks that lol
I came to the comments just to see if I was the only one, lol. Glad I'm not!

*Fun Fact:*
In Japanese, always having room for dessert is called _"Betsubara"_
It's not a fun fact unless you explain that it means "different stomach".
If the first reply doesn't get more likes than the original comment, I've lost faith in humanity.
@@RBuckminsterFuller why though, i enjoyed selecting the word and googling it
a fun fact on the internet should spark curiosity, it's not the same as if it was on tv or something
That's a weeb fact right there folks.

Ok well the rest of us do so we don’t care
Didn’t think you were here-
In our language we call it “umay” it simply means that you grew tired of eating something and dessert basically breaks that monotonous taste. 😉
It’s amazing that you have a word for it!
That’s so cool!
Someone cross reference this video with the one from Vice on the guy who only eats box mac and cheese.

I’m I the only one thinking that Mac and cheese looks sick ? 🤢
yes
No
Am I the only one who doesn't care and would devour that whole plate in two bites?
Morgan L I love Mac and cheese but this looks like from my horrible buffet tastes like water. Ewww... 🤢🤮
Katharina Haffner If I cared enough I’d say it’s disgusting Katharina and you have no taste and anyone else who thinks like that is the exact same when it comes to food, but that’s jus my 2 cents 🤷♂️ that macaroni looks horrible.

My grandfather started the tradition of eating dessert first. He was a wise man.
Um ok
*Fantastic work as usual, Vox*
@under a rock how tf are you?
@under a rock bye
@under a rock so, uhhh....
I wonder how much they would've been able to eat if it was a solid dessert(cake or pie maybe)
I wonder, how much they'd eat if it was broccoli instead of ice cream. Their whole "theory" about variety would crash instantly.
Exactly what I was thinking too
THIS EXPLAINS SOOOO MUCH! My family has the habit of repeating foods to eat in a short amount of time and they would ask me why I ate so little and I would just respond cause it's the same thing. I don't feel satisfied even though I'm full. I've always wondered why for so many years.
Really nice “pronunciation joke” + transition in the beginning there
2:07 From 1-10, she: "25"
You call that a giant plate of Mac n Cheese?
It's no wonder they wanted dessert~!
I wonder if this is why, after having the same leftovers for a day or two we get bored and don't want to finish them. That's largely why I freeze half the food when we make big batches, so we can enjoy it without dragging it out too long, and then enjoy it again in the future. Less waste that way.
Cool video.
Dang 5 mil subs and no replys
@@Mo-he8rl It has replies now
Love your videos!
Does ur stomach don't get full bc so many desert
Its no secret.. every human is equipped with a 'sweet' and a 'savory' stomach.
stomach: *exists
dessert: *_its free real estate_*
"Americans love dessert more than their guns."
-Quoted by: an average European.
Well if Ice cream started killing hundreds of kids every year, maybe we would actually do something about it
My dad would never let anyone order dessert when we were eating out unless we cleaned our plates entirely (pretty impossible at a standard American restaurant's portion size.) Getting a take-home box didn't count. I still resent that about my childhood just a tad!
You should've given a different second serving to control for variety. This was not a test of dessert vs. food, but same vs. different.
Same way I have more room for Vox videos..
can we please just talk about the person in 0:58? cause he's literally the kind of person that I'd never want to eat out with.
Lately, it doesn't seem to apply to me. Which makes me so sad. I miss having to crave for something sweet after a nice meal.
The questions on vox is getting more and more random like showerthoughts
I love this. I've noticed this phenomenon in myself when I think to myself "I'm tired of eating this, I want to eat something else." Nice to know there's a name for it.
People with Gerd: *_"We just want to eat with no future consequences or regret."_*
I now have a very interesting thing to talk about at Thanksgiving dinner, THANK YOU! :)
You will be misinforming your entire family but sure.
Alain-Christian what?
*I'll be the one finishing both meals and still saying im hungry*
so it doesn't really necessary a "room for dessert" but a room for different food...
Why you always seem to pop up in my recommendations years later
The old joke "This isn't seconds, I haven't tried everything yet"
3:51 So, what we can learn and apply from this is, if something is not healthy put it in plate all by itself (so you eat less); and if something is very healthy, like fruits and vegetables, put it in your plate in variety (to encourage you to eat more).
Conclusion: If you want to eat less, just put one thing on your plate!!!
I just finished three plates of thanksgiving dinner and now I just eat 2 slivers (or chucks for some people) HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE 🍁🦃🍽
Does this explain why my ex lost interest in me?
Variety is the spice of life.
Now I am curious if the researcher has studied food eating competitors, and how they over come this.
*I only have room for dessert!*
I only have room for you owo
I had to do it
I’m Hispanic and we don’t have dessert cause we eat so much
Are you telling me this thing I thought was happening my entire life is actually a scientific thing? Cool
Honestly I can’t think of a single time where this has happened.
AND ALWAYS ONE EXTRA SCOOP OF ICE CREAM!
Thanks for the video! It’s really interesting! And it interlaced with my previous knowledge - i heard about diets there you eat same thing for long time, like, one week you eat only apples (but unlimited amount), other week you eat only salad and so on. It probably partially relied on described effect. Also now i know how to eat more!
I know one fact After seeing this video.
Fact: I wan na eat ice-cream.
i never have enough room for a dessert though
This video is very well made, I like it
This is the type of content i want on VOX
I never have room for desert actually.
Same
Weird
You make room for dessert. There is no other way.

Vox always answers questions I didn't know I had
My digestive system goes into overdrive when that pumpkin pie rolls around
Why does Vox only have correct answers to things that weren’t in dispute in the first place?
There's another reason too: I LOVE sweets.
How have I never thought about it like that before.
How is that a “giant” plate? Thought that’s a normal plate.
My dad sometimes eats like seconds and thirds of my moms food then doesn’t eat desert (loves it) because he’s full and that makes me happy
Now i want ice cream
*proceeds to eat an entire pint of ice cream and scream at vox*
say it's for science, I guess...
These videos are just amazing the both the info and craft of editing
Vox: “sat...sait-se-

Me: *Am I glitching?*
Variety is the spice of life
No honey, i eat until i feel my stomach is on the verge of exploding
sad
Can you imagine the Vox people going to people and asking them to eat Mac and Cheese for an experiment
Those people just got free ice cream and Mac and cheese and they are complaining
I've always said that the dessert goes to the heart to my mom.
I was just thinking about getting some ice cream after lunch, guess vox reads my mind 😂
I have literally never been able to eat dessert at a restaurant before. I never have enough room. I didn't know most people actually ate dessert at restaurants.
That doesn't answer the question on why we can eat more desert specifically.
I think I read somewhere that ancestraly speaking, sugar was so hard to come by in the form of seasonal fruits and honey. This could explain our modern addiction to sweets.
As far as I remember, there is also a physical component - sugar has a sort of "relaxing" effect on your stomach, making you able to fit more food in it. Which, I suppose, is why sugary foods are often used as desert.
Thanks, that makes sense 👍
I believe theres also a change in appetite as you consume sugar. Something about insulin being released makes you want to eat more. If I remember correctly, the stomach also slightly expands when eating sweet stuff.
Now I’m going to increase the variety of veggies on my daughter’s plate. Thanks Vox.
I found a bag of frozen vegetables for stir fry at Costco, with 9 different vegetables in it. That along with a variety of spices and styles of cooking has incredibly increased the amount vegetables I eat myself. It works for adults too.
Because growing up, parents always told us that if we didn't eat our dinner, there would be no dessert. Reward system. The kid in us wants that cookie or that ice cream pop.
What's the difference between a cold dessert and an injured girlfriend?
One is ice cream and the other is a sore bae.
i find this very helpful in monitoring why my appetite is so bad. i have adhd, and so when i eat i get full so quickly, most likely because my mind is running a mile a minute and i become distracted/lose interest quickly in whatever it is im eating. so varying my food and snacking throughout the day would prob be better
now I don’t feel so weird that I can eat three plates of fish sticks and still want more
we have another stomach for dessert
2:44 "we're omnivores-"
Vegans: *i beg to differ*
Veganism is just dangerous pseudoscience. They are wasting food. There are people starving out there!!!!
You don't *have* room for desert, you *make* room for desert.
Catch me hunched over the toilet thanksgiving day on my tenth slice of apple pie. It's a system
Because sugar is an addictive drug.
I wonder why they don't mention that. 🤔
@@houneavireakpong9098 because they're Vox and only present half truths
But they also mentioned during a 4 course meal with varying food you eat more. Meaning is not just about the sugar, it's about having a variety of options.
Well yeah but no
That mac and cheese looks like they slapped some Kraft singles over pasta.
