For those of you jumping into the comments section to tell me how successful vaping is at helping smokers quit please read this. Just published this week. The Wall Street Journal (7/9) reports U.S. adult smokers who did not use electronic vaping devices to aid in smoking cessation were more than twice as likely to quit smoking as those who did, a new study published in PLOS One concludes. The study also found that 90 percent of smokers who vaped at the start of the study were still smoking a year later. The researchers said they did not find evidence that vaping devices helped adult smokers quit at higher rates than those who did not use the products. The Washington Times (7/9) reports “e-cigarettes are an ineffective tool for smoking cessation,” the survey of 858 smokers suggests. The article says “more and more research has found that e-cigarette use isn’t a reliable path to quitting cigarettes.”
You still didn't answer why men have nipples. I don't know where you went for medical school but men's nipples 101 was a very popular course where I've been to
I used it myself to quit, I smoked for 23 years and quit in 2 weeks. The first few days I still smoked while also vaping with apple flavored vape juice. Then I stopped using cigarettes and just ate an apple jolly rancher to sate the oral fixation and continued vaping, after a week or so I stopped vaping all-together and then all I had to do was quit eating jolly ranchers(which was easy, I don't really like candy). I was really surprised with how easy it was. It worked SO well! That was 3 years ago. To say that vaping devices do not help people quit just isn't correct. Perhaps vaping devices are just not used correctly and with a plan to quit.
Doctor Mike I quit with the nicotine gum cold turkey after 10 years of smoking a pack per day. After vaping for 2-3 years i still don't have a cough, where as with smoking you have a bad one. I highly suggest the gum! Vaping just eggs the problem on and I don't believe it helps you to quit. Either way, it takes will power.
Dr Mike gets it. Makeup is an artform and a way of expression, not just something girls "slap on their faces because they hate themselves", so refreshing to hear.
Doctor Mike Hearing that kind of thing never fails to put a smile on my face! I try to let people know I appreciate it (because I hear the opposite so so often), especially when they come from those who don't typically use makeup themselves!
the fact that he looked straight into the camera and said "i will tell you, *i have a thing with gagging"* then just continued with the story?? what a wholesome guy
It wasn't a letter of gratitude, but after my mom lost her battle with metastatic breast cancer back in 2019, I bought several large boxes of chocolate chip cookies and took them to the cancer center to thank everyone there for doing everything they could to help her.
dr. mike, does your doctor know you're a doctor? or did you keep it a secret so that he doesn't feel pressured to not mess up? i'm just wondering what the doctor's doctor relationship is like lol
Dr. Mike, Mental health Videos please!! On depression, anxiety, Antidepressants, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Fatigue due to depression, etc. A lot of us want you to make a ton of videos on mental health! Please do it Dr. Mike :)
Emily: Every time I watch you, I feel like I've grown a brain cell. Dr mike: Technically, you don't grow brain cells *turns into lecture* Emily: I just wanted to compliment you.
Neurogenesis and your brain cells do grow throughout your life, but when you learn something it's not that you grow brain cells, but you grow CONNECTIONS between your brain cells. Intelligence has nothing to do with cell quantity - we are smarter than elephants but our brains are smaller.
Men have nipples because mammary crests are formed in the first week of gestation, before the embryo gets (or not) the testosterone that defines if is a boy or a girl, wich happens between 5th and 7th week if I'm not wrong. So if the embryo becomes a woman, that's a useful part, if she wants to be a mother, if the embryo becomes a man, is just a reminder that you could have been a woman. 😂 That's a joke but, you know... I hope I have explained this correctly, I'm not English speaker. 🖖
I should say, minor correction, you are a boy or girl the moment you are conceived. It's just not expressed until a few weeks after(genetics are passive until activated). Testosterone makes the defining sex characteristics.
This is right! But it's actually the presence of androgens that define the sex of a fetus. That's why you can run into problems when you have males with androgen insensitivity syndrome that will result in female-like genitals!
Dr. Mike, honestly, as a teacher I am so grateful to you for all your work of fighting ignorance. By your videos, your Ted talk, your philanthropy projects that rase money for educational purposes. Could actually write a whole letter about it.
I know this is old video but the letter of gratitude suggestion made me cry. After I finished cancer treatment I ran into my family practice doc who had changed offices while I was undergoing treatment. He had acted quickly when I found a lump in my breast even though I was only 32 and it easily could have been hormonal. I had an aggressive type of breast cancer and he saved my life by pushing for a biopsy when other docs wanted me to wait a month or two to see if it went away. I got to thank him which meant as much if not more to me than him. 5 yrs cancer free now
On your recommendation I wrote, hand delivered and read out my letter of gratitude to the physical therapist that helped me regain almost 80% of my knees function. You were 100% correct about how powerful it would be. Now every time i walk into a session he treats me like family and I'm no longer worried about the outcome. Thank you
Dr. Mike I feel like your not only a family physician, but also a therapist, Paramedic, Surgeon, e.t.c. You're like a jack of all trades! I am learning sooooooo much, just from watching your short videos. Thank you!
There is no such thing as too smart. Just be thankful he uses his wealth of intelligence and wisdom to try and better the world by being a doctor/educator.
He isn't too smart he's just s doctor, like I'm pretty sure other doctors or other biology students (esp studying in his field) knows most of this stuff
As a nurse I love watching your videos! You help me learn new things that I didn’t know and I love that you give props to us nurses. It feels good to be appreciated. Thank you!
As someone who owns a squatty potty- I love it. I’ve had constipation problems my entire life and the squatty potty actually does help with my bowel movement. Gross, but true 💩
Men have nipples due to fetal development. The default gender is female. The body does not begin to read the Y chromosome, and thus male traits, until after the nipples have already been formed. It is more an embryology and genetics question than a medical one.
I really should've paid more attention in bio when we learned about genetics😂I love bio but learning about cells (especially cell division) and genetics kinda bored me.
Odeleya Rosner, No worries. Cell division can be taught in a mundane way sometimes. I really learned that at graduate school covering fetal development and diseases of the fetus. It is a question way beyond basic genetics and biology.
Dr Mike I believe the chemical you were looking for in some of the vaping liquids and concoctions is called diacetyl which was used in popcorn factories as a flavorant for butter flavoring it is made in a powdered form that when in a popcorn factory would be inhaled and get into the respiratory tract where it would cause a mutation of the alveoli and cause them to malform and degrade
It’s actually propylene glycol or (CG) Used to flavour almost all artificially flavoured foods. But the disease was noticed first in a popcorn factory.
@@YoursUntruly yes we're the main chemical they were using to make the artificial butter flavoring was diacetyl you can ask plenty of chemists that that is the chemical that causes a deformation in the alveoli in the lung and causes them to puff and distort like you said propylene glycol is used as a flavoring and also in most jell-os hair sprays and other things that we use every single day but those things are not classified as health hazardous they're used as a preservative and other things
I was told men have nipples because every human starts off female during pregnancy, you develop nipples before you reach the point in pregnancy where gender is determined
This is rubbish. If you define gender as male/female/other, so biological, your gender is determined at the moment of conception, as it's genetic. Men are not females in the womb, but the early fetus does not have sexual characteristics yet. So men and females are the same in the first stages. And both have about 6-8 nipples. In further development, all but two of those dissapear, but not always. This why some people have 3 nipples, or even more.
@@gb-1609 No they are not. Al female EGGS are female, as they have half the female genome (XX / 2 = X). The male sperm can have a female or male counterpart (Male=XY). so after conception, it has a full set of genes establishing it's biological sex. XX female XY male. So no, not every embryo is female, you moron.
I’m only seeing this vid now, but I’m definitely gonna start writing those letters of gratitude and reading them out loud to the wonderful people in my life ❤️
If you’re wondering why men have nipples , it’s due to the 23rd chromosome of a male being an x and y pair. A Fetus begins it’s life as a female regardless of whether is has a Y chromosome of not. Nipples develop very early before the male characteristics kick in. Hope this helps.
What a fantastic idea to write letters. I moved across the country and had to get a new dentist and doctors. I did not realise how amazing our rapport was and how great they were until trying to find replacements. Miss them greatly. As a person in pain I miss my "Team" a lot.
Your the first doctor to actually give people information based on being a dr. Thank you for that too. Most of the dr.s on here won’t give medical advice.
And for good reason. The greatest majority of you stupid as fuck. You give medical knowledge to you morons and you are more likely to kill yourselves with that knowledge than you you are to be of any good to anyone, including yourselves. This guy is walking a very thin line, a razor's edge actually. I can all but guarantee you that someone out of the 1.7 mil subscribers he's got has killed themselves already with the information he divulges here.
As I understand it, men have nipples because in the embryonic development, the sexual differentiation occurs after the breast primordium forms, so when the embryo develops male gonads, it already has mammary gland and nipples.
Basically, when you're in the womb and still developing, your body is in a 'neutral' or 'middle' state in a sense. Your body prepares certain body parts in advance, and when your organs controlling your hormones develop afterwards, those hormones determine which body parts grow fully or not at all. In this case, male testes which are called gonads (the female version is the ovaries) produce testosterone, and that hormone doesn't make breast tissue grow in men in the same way a female's does as men don't lactate/give birth/etc. and they have a higher amount of testosterone in their bodies than females. It's quite interesting to learn which body parts would change if you were born the opposite gender. I highly recommend looking it up! :)
"Don't stand in front of the microwave for long periods of time" *My dumbass watching my pizza rolls go round and round with my face smashed against the glass:* 0_0
The fetus begins as female when in the womb. When chromosomes form, those determine whether the body that is forming forms male or female parts. (This is something you learn in Psychology)
If I remember correctly (I'm a psych student), it's not so much that it begins "female" as much as it just begins neutral. It's the SRY gene on the Y chromosome that initiates male development and halts female development. Without the presence of that gene or if the body fails to respond properly to its effects (in the case of androgen insensitivity syndrome) the fetus continues to develop as female. Before that point, no uniquely male or uniquely female development happens, so I hesitate to say that all fetuses start female. What you said is basically correct since female development is a continuation of the development that happens pre-differentiation, so it's just a technicality.
But that is why men have nipples lol which is the whole point of why I even came down here and read/responded to your comment in the first place. I'm honestly surprised that's not something Doctor Mike learned in med school/biology classes.
I don't use a squatty potty, but I imorovise with things that help me raise my knees up. It's been a total life changer and the one cheap to no cost improvement I'd recommend to anyone! No more incomplete and forceful pooping time.
Why are people not freaking about Mike wanting an animator to team up with for draw my life?! You should reach out to: Theoddonesout, JaydenAnimations and ItsAlexClark! They are very well connected in the animation community and have done draw my life videos before
Nice that you have a rational reaction/attitude about vaping. It is not for kids, and parents should do what they can about it. As a former smoker I do vouch on ecigs being great alternative on quitting, if you are not able to quit regular tobacco cold turkey. There is great amount of studies done in last 10 years about ecigs, but there is boatload of bad studies, or should I say, bad interpretations about them. Agenda driven science is not science, and it is not good for any of us. Best to admit good and the bad, no cherry picking. Hello from Finland and thank you for the great channel.
Gaius I was actually starting to comment about the vaping and smoking. Plus im from Finland too, but I still have a friend who does underage smoking (she is younger than me by one year) so...
I agree that if you don't already, you should not start. Taking dicetel out of the equation (hopefully the aware user asks) and of course, you should not use nicotine, that leaves the question how is inhaling the byproducts of the chemical reaction we call combustion not clearly and explicitly more hazardous than inhaling two food-grade liquids that are not burning or combusting in any way, but rather undergoing a phase change from liquid to vapor (think water into steam - the water is not burning)? Of course, we should inhale only air and maybe a few medicines, but how close do you live to a major highway?
Me: Have a teacher say all this stuff for 4 hrs in a classroom: *doesnt listen to a single word Also me: binges Dr.Mike for 6 hrs fascinated by all the medical info
@@julissiajones6198 All it takes is a damp cloth or paper towel. Wipes off easy. Still PITA if others are making the mess and only you are cleaning it.
Well they could be their closest role models or adults young enough to still be relateable to kids. Also 19 is still a teen and adolescence/up to 24 still have maturing brains and bodies.
I've used a Squatty Potty for years. Anyone who is shorter or has problems with constipation should try it. Or use a short footstool or short box to save $ on the Squatty Potty. It helped me a lot. I also think it would be good for kids who don't even touch the ground.
Doctor Mike: why men have nipples.......because they form before gender. Every fetus begins developing the same way. Gender is determined about 6 weeks into the pregnancy, long after other anatomical structures (heart, lungs, brain, and so on). So everyone has them. I learned that in high school bio!
drawingangel2 Not nipples forming as a fetus....nipples (and all other anatomical structures---heart, brain, hands, eyes, lungs, and so on) form before gender "assignment" occurs. Gender is actually one of the last parts of the fetal development. Because every fetus forms the same way, every person has the same non-genital parts.
It's also why guys have that little seam on their taint, it's formed when the foetus starts to determine gender and what would have been a vagina closes over and the penis and testicle begin to form.
Yeah we didn't learn about nipples specificially in high school bio, but we did learn that the skin develops first because all the organs need to be contained inside and separate from the embryonic fluid. So skin develops first and all the holes in that skin (ears, mouth, nose, nipples, anus...) need to be created because you can't make a hole later.
I love how even the letter of gratitude part is even framed in a way that it can help patients even more. Honestly can't think of more selfless ppl than some in the medical profession. >
I'm so so late so no one will see this probably, but the squatty potty or something similar may not be necessary for the average person, but is SO helpful for someone like me who struggles with pelvic floor dysfunction
Thank you so much for this video. I'm 16 years old and I vape. It's gotten to be a bad addiction of mine. For the past hour I've been researching popcorn lung and I have all the symptoms. My vape juice also has propylene glycol in it, so my mom is taking me to the doctor for further look into it because I cant get up out of bed anymore without getting dizzy from shortness of breath and almost passing out or passing. This helped alot thank you so much.
Dr. Mike I sent a letter of gratitude a year ago to a dear friend of mine whom I hadn't seen for a few months last year. a few months later I saw that same friend and they came up to me and said thank you. they appreciated the letter. i wanted to hug that friend it meant a lot to me to hear it.
Hi, I´m a medical student, in case you are searching in the comments the answer of why men have nipples, well here it is. During pregnancy, women and men are not fenotipically differentiated until later on, men express a gen called SRY to differentiate from women until 14 (more or less) weeks. But the gens for "nipples" were already expressed, so men keep the nipples but not all the mammary tissue because of this SRY gen.
I am really happy with how you approached the topic of vaping and smoking in general. Just for some history I was a drug addict (fetanyl, sorry if I spelled it wrong) and alcoholic since the age of 13 and it lasted for 9 years until I was 22. Anyways I started smoking cigarettes at like 20 and let me tell you, I have been able to get clean from fetanyal and alcohol for almost a year now but I have not been able to quit smoking. I started vaping to quit cigarettes but it didn’t help I just became addicted to vaping instead. I have smoked for 2 years now and I have a bad cough all the time and my throat hurts constantly. So even through all the OD’s I have suffered and all the mistakes I made while high or drunk, I truly wish I had never started smoking. I’ve tried gum and patches and nothing helps. I know it is shorting my life drastically and that truly saddens me. Wish I had never started.
Dr. Mike, this may have been mentioned by someone else but propylene glycol doesn’t cause popcorn lung. It’s diacytl (sp?) a buttery flavoring that does it and it is in some vape flavors. It is commonly used in microwave popcorn and causes popcorn lung. That’s where the term came from. Love your videos. Vaping got me away from smokeless tobacco so…. But yes I realize it’s not a stalk of celery I’m putting in my mouth. Not for kids for sure.
The biggest gripe I have with Vaping is that it reversed decades of progress on Nicotine usage among teens and young adults. We went from below 10% to close to 50% now which is 1960s levels of nicotine usage rates.
Honestly I think nicotine inside a marijuana based cigarette would be an incredible idea as a means to quite smoking regular cigarettes and move towards cannabis as a stress relief tool. They need that nicotine feeling but once the cannabis kicks in I have a feeling they would drop wanting another dose
I just read up about it but it turns out marijuana and nicotine are usually used together via blunts but aren't sold vocaly commercially under fear it will be frowned upon. It probably is sold somewhere its just not talked about
Sounds about right. Half of the people I know vape, and many of them will act like "no smoking" signs don't apply to vaping and get defensive when you tell them not to blow vape fumes onto everyone and everything. As someone who is allergic to nicotine (my body reacts to secondhand exposure like it's poison ivy), this is really frustrating.
@@sarahroth7034 you can actually press charges for that. It falls under chemical warfare. Same can be said for pouring bleach onto people which is what some feminazis learned when they tried pouring bleach onto mens crotch areas for sitting with their knees apart.
@@sarahroth7034 Well, "no smoking" signs shouldn't necessarily apply to vaping in my opinion. The problem with public smoking was not the nicotine, but the smoke of burned stuff in it and all the poison in it. The nicotine is absorved by the vaper (and the smoker, for that matter). There is not much research done on secondhand vaping, to be honest. The only reason we have 'no smoking' areas is because it was proven to be a detriment to non-smokers, specially kids, which should never smoke. Also, there were long term studies that proved that. So far, short term studies has not shown much evidence that it is detrimental in the case of vaping. A more sure problem is related to allergies. Nut allergy is very common and some vape liquid with nutty flavour is enough to set off some people's alergies.
Kids don’t vape cuz of the flavors.... they do it cuz their friends do it and their friends do it’s to be “cool” so they do it to fit in... I know that cuz I been there
Not true. I'm in highschool, and no one thinks of you any higher of any less if you smoke or not. The flavours are a big reason. Also, it's a social thing for us "let's go out for a smoke" and stuff like that, but if you refuse no one will think you re a wuss or something. Some smoke because of stress, some because they think the smoke looks cool, some because they tried it once and liked it or got addicted. Kids that vape don't do it to quit smoking. they do it because in the long run, they say vaping is cheaper (idk wether that's true or not)
I believe it works because when you let that sugar melt in your mouth you need to swallow repeatedly in a short time frame. I applied the same process to water, taking small sips and swallowing repeatedly; it works. I am now sugar free :)
My stepdad made me a squatty potty. It's improved my haemorrhoids drastically, and yes, I had already made changes to my diet. Eating as much fiber and drinking water amap. But the squatty potty just helps SO MUCH.
When channels I watch mention ASMR I get excited! What might be interesing for you as a doctor is, that we‘re starting to have scientific research done on ASMR and the first few results have come out lately. It turns out it‘s actually more than just making sounds, it seems to have a positive effect on our health. ❤️
fastASMR I have watched some ASMR, but I thought it is unhealthy so I don't watch anymore. But if It is healthy, maybe I should watch it again ? But I don't like the sounds , but I love da *TINGLES* 😂👊🏼
The squatty potty thing has actually some good research on it. It is actually very helpful. You don't need that thing itself, anything that raises your legs on the toilet will do. Be it a low stool or a small box
8:22 Emily Z: Every time I watch you, I fell like ive grown a brain cell Mike: well Emily you dont really grow brain cells... But what youre doing is... *VSAUCE THEME SONG STARTS*
@7:19, I actually do and sometimes it comes through in the clutch because it raises the legs up slightly from 90° to 75°. TBH, if you're straining, you're either not doing it right (in fact, it's a good way to induce a hernia and a scrotal tear) or something in your diet is either missing or in an abundance. @8:19, like there's one tool that's basically a squirtgun filled with warm water. One way to prevent a build-up is to chew gum regularly as it exercises the jaw muscles and breaks down the cerumen (ear wax).
I love your videos so much and you’re a role model to me since I’m studying something related to medicine which is (Radiology) and English is not my first language I’m from Dubai i speak Arabic but we do study everything in English in medical school , so I’ve been learning alot of medical terms and their meanings from you believe it or not that helped me in some exams too so thank you so much I’ll always support you ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
J ok not everything but enough for me to be satisfied, also obsessed because his videos are interesting, entertaining and funny to me and the looks are a plus lol 😉
A spoonful of sugar, or something sweet like square of chocolate, overwhelms the vagus nerve. I've been told this many times. We first heard that chocolate helps hiccups from Nanny Piggins. We have used this trick so many times since, because my younger brother has a hiccup-burping tick that causes him to hiccup-burp so violently that he can't breath, and the chocolate used to make it stop for a little while.
Love the Channel Dr. Mike. According to the "American Lung Association" diacetyl causes popcorn lung, not propylene glycol. Diacetyl is the flavoring that gives popcorn or e-liquid a buttery flavor. Diacetyl was discontinued in U.S. made eliquids back in 2014. If the American Lung Association is incorrect about this, would you care to elaborate more on this?
I was doing some research on this the other day and found that cigarettes can have anywhere from 50-750 times more of this chemical that e-liquid, but cigarette smoke doesn’t cause popcorn lung. If vape juice has significantly less, how would vaping cause popcorn lung?
Just casually watching the video and suddenly 'Baiakun, Selugi and Jankook' had me dying. Great video, pretty much every question that I could think of was answered here
Totally with you on the gag reflex. I even *aspirated* some of that mould gel or whatever that orthodontists use bc I couldn't breathe when it was in. About a month later, I have this awful coughing fit, feel like I'm dying, go to the bathroom, and cough up some of that gel. Really angry with the orthodontist cos he wasn't taking my concerns seriously. By the way you have great teeth. Mine are like a medieval peasant's by comparison.
Men have nipples bc they are formed in the womb before the gender of the fetus develops. All fetus’s do, the hormones then take over and make the differences between male and female biologically. There’s an ASAPscience video which explains it in much more detail and I definitely recommend it. Very interesting
I'm Shady He didn't say it wasn't determined, but that the gender "develops". However, the development of nipples is the same for both until puberty. (I'm sorry if it's not so clear, but I'm French)
dr.mike: you should eat healthy, exsersice, stay hydrated and take showers me: [ drinks water every now and then, hasn't taken a shower in a few days and only exercises on saturdays] **eating salty chips** huh..maybe i should do that...nah I'm fine
Linda Reyes Well, if it makes you feel any better, new research about our bodies’ microbiomes seems to indicate that it’s probably healthier to take a shower every OTHER day (or for people that don’t start to smell disgusting, even longer) rather than every day. So there’s that.
There is a bunch of professions that come from med school doctors, therapists, surgeons, nurses, insane asylum employees, and more so I would say about 10 to 15% actually became a doctor
not to say they're the perfect smoking replacement, but as far as I'm aware it's the diacetyl that was used occasionally as a flavoring in vapes that caused popcorn lung (not the PG)
Allie Collins prologned exposure to certain things can trigger an allergic reaction in your body, thus making you allergic. Sort of the same as auto immune diseases, your body for some reason creates anti bodies that invade healthy tissue.
I have to get food allergy tested yearly and every year they all change. At this point I’ve been allergic to every single testable food, luckily not all at once. Retro_ VHS has it spot on! It’s really weird and completely annoying! 😑
Abigail Andrews I’m no doctor I’m just a high school student who really loves learning this stuff. It sucks that your body reacts like that to food, especially since food is necessary but have your doctors looked for an underlying condition that could be causing you to be allergic to many foods? You may have an underlying condition making your body react this way other than just simple allergies.

Dr. Mike should do a video with his dad since he is also a doctor
Maybe a now and then comparing vid
Men have nipples because mammary crests are formed in the first week of gestation, before the embryo gets (or not) the testosterone that defines if is a boy or a girl, wich happens between 5th and 7th week if I'm not wrong. So if the embryo becomes a woman, that's a useful part, if she wants to be a mother, if the embryo becomes a man, is just a reminder that you could have been a woman. 😂 That's a joke but, you know... I hope I have explained this correctly, I'm not English speaker. 🖖
Your right but it with x and y chromosomes
Thank you for taking the words out of my mouth
I should say, minor correction, you are a boy or girl the moment you are conceived. It's just not expressed until a few weeks after(genetics are passive until activated). Testosterone makes the defining sex characteristics.
This is right! But it's actually the presence of androgens that define the sex of a fetus. That's why you can run into problems when you have males with androgen insensitivity syndrome that will result in female-like genitals!
wow i'm glad you know how to use google good job are you gonna be a doctor now?
Dr. Mike, honestly, as a teacher I am so grateful to you for all your work of fighting ignorance. By your videos, your Ted talk, your philanthropy projects that rase money for educational purposes. Could actually write a whole letter about it.

I know this is old video but the letter of gratitude suggestion made me cry. After I finished cancer treatment I ran into my family practice doc who had changed offices while I was undergoing treatment. He had acted quickly when I found a lump in my breast even though I was only 32 and it easily could have been hormonal. I had an aggressive type of breast cancer and he saved my life by pushing for a biopsy when other docs wanted me to wait a month or two to see if it went away. I got to thank him which meant as much if not more to me than him. 5 yrs cancer free now
Congratulations on beating cancer!!!

Men have nipples due to fetal development. The default gender is female. The body does not begin to read the Y chromosome, and thus male traits, until after the nipples have already been formed. It is more an embryology and genetics question than a medical one.
Thanks Megan!
Megan Sinnott I had that same question then I looked it up and now I yes that fact to make ppl think I’m smart 😂
I really should've paid more attention in bio when we learned about genetics😂I love bio but learning about cells (especially cell division) and genetics kinda bored me.
You're welcome Dr. Mike!
Odeleya Rosner, No worries. Cell division can be taught in a mundane way sometimes. I really learned that at graduate school covering fetal development and diseases of the fetus. It is a question way beyond basic genetics and biology.

Dr. Mike,
Could we get "A day in the life: Bear dog" edition?
Dr Mike I believe the chemical you were looking for in some of the vaping liquids and concoctions is called diacetyl which was used in popcorn factories as a flavorant for butter flavoring it is made in a powdered form that when in a popcorn factory would be inhaled and get into the respiratory tract where it would cause a mutation of the alveoli and cause them to malform and degrade
It’s actually propylene glycol or (CG)
Used to flavour almost all artificially flavoured foods. But the disease was noticed first in a popcorn factory.
The problem with popcorn:
@@YoursUntruly No, it's not. Why are you talking about things you don't know anything about?
@@YoursUntruly yes we're the main chemical they were using to make the artificial butter flavoring was diacetyl you can ask plenty of chemists that that is the chemical that causes a deformation in the alveoli in the lung and causes them to puff and distort like you said propylene glycol is used as a flavoring and also in most jell-os hair sprays and other things that we use every single day but those things are not classified as health hazardous they're used as a preservative and other things

I was told men have nipples because every human starts off female during pregnancy, you develop nipples before you reach the point in pregnancy where gender is determined
Yeah, don't want to be too graphic but that little seam on your ballsack was originally what women have. It just sealed up.
This is rubbish. If you define gender as male/female/other, so biological, your gender is determined at the moment of conception, as it's genetic.
Men are not females in the womb, but the early fetus does not have sexual characteristics yet. So men and females are the same in the first stages. And both have about 6-8 nipples. In further development, all but two of those dissapear, but not always. This why some people have 3 nipples, or even more.
@@gb-1609 In that case; are we related?
@@gb-1609 No they are not. Al female EGGS are female, as they have half the female genome (XX / 2 = X). The male sperm can have a female or male counterpart (Male=XY). so after conception, it has a full set of genes establishing it's biological sex. XX female XY male.
So no, not every embryo is female, you moron.

@Dyyylan_Galaxy 8:22 ⬅️ watch that part
If you’re wondering why men have nipples , it’s due to the 23rd chromosome of a male being an x and y pair. A Fetus begins it’s life as a female regardless of whether is has a Y chromosome of not. Nipples develop very early before the male characteristics kick in. Hope this helps.

As I understand it, men have nipples because in the embryonic development, the sexual differentiation occurs after the breast primordium forms, so when the embryo develops male gonads, it already has mammary gland and nipples.
Sharon Katy yep.
Sharon Katy okay, now in english please.
Men have nipples so you can draw a big face out of you belly, nipples being the eyes, and stand in the mirror and make fun of it while drunk.
Basically, when you're in the womb and still developing, your body is in a 'neutral' or 'middle' state in a sense. Your body prepares certain body parts in advance, and when your organs controlling your hormones develop afterwards, those hormones determine which body parts grow fully or not at all.
In this case, male testes which are called gonads (the female version is the ovaries) produce testosterone, and that hormone doesn't make breast tissue grow in men in the same way a female's does as men don't lactate/give birth/etc. and they have a higher amount of testosterone in their bodies than females. It's quite interesting to learn which body parts would change if you were born the opposite gender. I highly recommend looking it up! :)
I learned this in high school. Strange that a doctor doesn’t know this. I mean not his fault but still I thought it was common knowledge

The fetus begins as female when in the womb. When chromosomes form, those determine whether the body that is forming forms male or female parts. (This is something you learn in Psychology)
If I remember correctly (I'm a psych student), it's not so much that it begins "female" as much as it just begins neutral. It's the SRY gene on the Y chromosome that initiates male development and halts female development. Without the presence of that gene or if the body fails to respond properly to its effects (in the case of androgen insensitivity syndrome) the fetus continues to develop as female. Before that point, no uniquely male or uniquely female development happens, so I hesitate to say that all fetuses start female. What you said is basically correct since female development is a continuation of the development that happens pre-differentiation, so it's just a technicality.
But that is why men have nipples lol which is the whole point of why I even came down here and read/responded to your comment in the first place. I'm honestly surprised that's not something Doctor Mike learned in med school/biology classes.
@@gkeller1031 It's so weird how people learn that in Psychology but not medical school?
@@gkeller1031 I'm a Psych major, too. Currently in Psych 200. I couldn't fully remember the process. Thank you!
A sperm carries either an X or Y chromosome. So sex is determined at conception.

Nice that you have a rational reaction/attitude about vaping. It is not for kids, and parents should do what they can about it.
As a former smoker I do vouch on ecigs being great alternative on quitting, if you are not able to quit regular tobacco cold turkey.
There is great amount of studies done in last 10 years about ecigs, but there is boatload of bad studies, or should I say, bad interpretations about them.
Agenda driven science is not science, and it is not good for any of us. Best to admit good and the bad, no cherry picking.
Hello from Finland and thank you for the great channel.
Gaius I was actually starting to comment about the vaping and smoking. Plus im from Finland too, but I still have a friend who does underage smoking (she is younger than me by one year) so...
I agree that if you don't already, you should not start. Taking dicetel out of the equation (hopefully the aware user asks) and of course, you should not use nicotine, that leaves the question how is inhaling the byproducts of the chemical reaction we call combustion not clearly and explicitly more hazardous than inhaling two food-grade liquids that are not burning or combusting in any way, but rather undergoing a phase change from liquid to vapor (think water into steam - the water is not burning)? Of course, we should inhale only air and maybe a few medicines, but how close do you live to a major highway?
Gaius love awesome logical reactions like this
Me: Have a teacher say all this stuff for 4 hrs in a classroom: *doesnt listen to a single word
Also me: binges Dr.Mike for 6 hrs fascinated by all the medical info

Doctor Mike: why men have nipples.......because they form before gender. Every fetus begins developing the same way. Gender is determined about 6 weeks into the pregnancy, long after other anatomical structures (heart, lungs, brain, and so on). So everyone has them. I learned that in high school bio!
Andrew Balto I also learned that in High School
Andrew Balto My highschool didnt cover nipples forming as a fetus.
drawingangel2 Not nipples forming as a fetus....nipples (and all other anatomical structures---heart, brain, hands, eyes, lungs, and so on) form before gender "assignment" occurs. Gender is actually one of the last parts of the fetal development. Because every fetus forms the same way, every person has the same non-genital parts.
It's also why guys have that little seam on their taint, it's formed when the foetus starts to determine gender and what would have been a vagina closes over and the penis and testicle begin to form.
Yeah we didn't learn about nipples specificially in high school bio, but we did learn that the skin develops first because all the organs need to be contained inside and separate from the embryonic fluid. So skin develops first and all the holes in that skin (ears, mouth, nose, nipples, anus...) need to be created because you can't make a hole later.

Hi, I´m a medical student, in case you are searching in the comments the answer of why men have nipples, well here it is. During pregnancy, women and men are not fenotipically differentiated until later on, men express a gen called SRY to differentiate from women until 14 (more or less) weeks. But the gens for "nipples" were already expressed, so men keep the nipples but not all the mammary tissue because of this SRY gen.

I am really happy with how you approached the topic of vaping and smoking in general. Just for some history I was a drug addict (fetanyl, sorry if I spelled it wrong) and alcoholic since the age of 13 and it lasted for 9 years until I was 22. Anyways I started smoking cigarettes at like 20 and let me tell you, I have been able to get clean from fetanyal and alcohol for almost a year now but I have not been able to quit smoking. I started vaping to quit cigarettes but it didn’t help I just became addicted to vaping instead. I have smoked for 2 years now and I have a bad cough all the time and my throat hurts constantly. So even through all the OD’s I have suffered and all the mistakes I made while high or drunk, I truly wish I had never started smoking. I’ve tried gum and patches and nothing helps. I know it is shorting my life drastically and that truly saddens me. Wish I had never started.

Dr. Mike, this may have been mentioned by someone else but propylene glycol doesn’t cause popcorn lung. It’s diacytl (sp?) a buttery flavoring that does it and it is in some vape flavors. It is commonly used in microwave popcorn and causes popcorn lung. That’s where the term came from. Love your videos. Vaping got me away from smokeless tobacco so…. But yes I realize it’s not a stalk of celery I’m putting in my mouth. Not for kids for sure.
The biggest gripe I have with Vaping is that it reversed decades of progress on Nicotine usage among teens and young adults. We went from below 10% to close to 50% now which is 1960s levels of nicotine usage rates.
Honestly I think nicotine inside a marijuana based cigarette would be an incredible idea as a means to quite smoking regular cigarettes and move towards cannabis as a stress relief tool. They need that nicotine feeling but once the cannabis kicks in I have a feeling they would drop wanting another dose
I just read up about it but it turns out marijuana and nicotine are usually used together via blunts but aren't sold vocaly commercially under fear it will be frowned upon. It probably is sold somewhere its just not talked about
Sounds about right. Half of the people I know vape, and many of them will act like "no smoking" signs don't apply to vaping and get defensive when you tell them not to blow vape fumes onto everyone and everything. As someone who is allergic to nicotine (my body reacts to secondhand exposure like it's poison ivy), this is really frustrating.
@@sarahroth7034 you can actually press charges for that. It falls under chemical warfare. Same can be said for pouring bleach onto people which is what some feminazis learned when they tried pouring bleach onto mens crotch areas for sitting with their knees apart.
@@sarahroth7034 Well, "no smoking" signs shouldn't necessarily apply to vaping in my opinion. The problem with public smoking was not the nicotine, but the smoke of burned stuff in it and all the poison in it. The nicotine is absorved by the vaper (and the smoker, for that matter).
There is not much research done on secondhand vaping, to be honest. The only reason we have 'no smoking' areas is because it was proven to be a detriment to non-smokers, specially kids, which should never smoke. Also, there were long term studies that proved that. So far, short term studies has not shown much evidence that it is detrimental in the case of vaping. A more sure problem is related to allergies. Nut allergy is very common and some vape liquid with nutty flavour is enough to set off some people's alergies.
Kids don’t vape cuz of the flavors.... they do it cuz their friends do it and their friends do it’s to be “cool” so they do it to fit in... I know that cuz I been there
Vaping was never cool
Antoine A.N now it is, it’s 2019
Man kids like shit in 2019
Not true. I'm in highschool, and no one thinks of you any higher of any less if you smoke or not. The flavours are a big reason. Also, it's a social thing for us "let's go out for a smoke" and stuff like that, but if you refuse no one will think you re a wuss or something. Some smoke because of stress, some because they think the smoke looks cool, some because they tried it once and liked it or got addicted. Kids that vape don't do it to quit smoking. they do it because in the long run, they say vaping is cheaper (idk wether that's true or not)
It's both

I was fangirling so hard when I realized that was my comment
@7:19, I actually do and sometimes it comes through in the clutch because it raises the legs up slightly from 90° to 75°.
TBH, if you're straining, you're either not doing it right (in fact, it's a good way to induce a hernia and a scrotal tear) or something in your diet is either missing or in an abundance.
@8:19, like there's one tool that's basically a squirtgun filled with warm water. One way to prevent a build-up is to chew gum regularly as it exercises the jaw muscles and breaks down the cerumen (ear wax).
I love your videos so much and you’re a role model to me since I’m studying something related to medicine which is (Radiology) and English is not my first language I’m from Dubai i speak Arabic but we do study everything in English in medical school , so I’ve been learning alot of medical terms and their meanings from you believe it or not that helped me in some exams too so thank you so much I’ll always support you ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Pretty Mariam I’ve been a radiographer for 16 years! It’s not as easy as people think. Good luck girl. You can do it!!!!

Your videos are so addicting! I love watching you, you seem like such an amazing guy! (and btw def do a draw my life) Keep doing what you do!!
A spoonful of sugar, or something sweet like square of chocolate, overwhelms the vagus nerve. I've been told this many times. We first heard that chocolate helps hiccups from Nanny Piggins. We have used this trick so many times since, because my younger brother has a hiccup-burping tick that causes him to hiccup-burp so violently that he can't breath, and the chocolate used to make it stop for a little while.

Oh boy here we go

LMAOOO 😂😭
Love the Channel Dr. Mike.
According to the "American Lung Association" diacetyl causes popcorn lung, not propylene glycol.
Diacetyl is the flavoring that gives popcorn or e-liquid a buttery flavor.
Diacetyl was discontinued in U.S. made eliquids back in 2014.
If the American Lung Association is incorrect about this, would you care to elaborate more on this?
Yup that was my mistake *see correction in video description :)
Doctor Mike awesome man... Thank you so much for the response brother. 👍
I was doing some research on this the other day and found that cigarettes can have anywhere from 50-750 times more of this chemical that e-liquid, but cigarette smoke doesn’t cause popcorn lung. If vape juice has significantly less, how would vaping cause popcorn lung?
Charles Reinmuth Totally agree man.. His opinions are based on facts and evidence
Diacetyl free e-liquids are available. ❤
Just casually watching the video and suddenly 'Baiakun, Selugi and Jankook' had me dying. Great video, pretty much every question that I could think of was answered here
i laughed so hard
Filipa Fernandes omg! same I lost it😂
Filipa Fernandes LMAOAOAOAO ME TOO
OMG ME TOO!!!! I had to pause the video cause I was laughing so hard!!!
Same 😂😂😂
Totally with you on the gag reflex. I even *aspirated* some of that mould gel or whatever that orthodontists use bc I couldn't breathe when it was in. About a month later, I have this awful coughing fit, feel like I'm dying, go to the bathroom, and cough up some of that gel. Really angry with the orthodontist cos he wasn't taking my concerns seriously. By the way you have great teeth. Mine are like a medieval peasant's by comparison.
Men have nipples bc they are formed in the womb before the gender of the fetus develops. All fetus’s do, the hormones then take over and make the differences between male and female biologically.
There’s an ASAPscience video which explains it in much more detail and I definitely recommend it. Very interesting
99% right. But the gender is already genetically determined from the fertilization of the egg
I'm Shady He didn't say it wasn't determined, but that the gender "develops". However, the development of nipples is the same for both until puberty.
(I'm sorry if it's not so clear, but I'm French)
dr.mike: you should eat healthy, exsersice, stay hydrated and take showers
me: [ drinks water every now and then, hasn't taken a shower in a few days and only exercises on saturdays] **eating salty chips** huh..maybe i should do that...nah I'm fine
Exercise *
@@bobagirls3931 frick
Linda Reyes Well, if it makes you feel any better, new research about our bodies’ microbiomes seems to indicate that it’s probably healthier to take a shower every OTHER day (or for people that don’t start to smell disgusting, even longer) rather than every day. So there’s that.
At least you do exercise
he eats an entire spoon of sugar when he have an hiccup, is that healthy?
Q: How many people from your med school ACTUALLY became doctors
Edit: HOLEY COW!!! How did I get a thousand likes??? You guys are insane!!!
prob not alot
**chirping crickets**
There is a bunch of professions that come from med school doctors, therapists, surgeons, nurses, insane asylum employees, and more so I would say about 10 to 15% actually became a doctor
@@Jscoffey73 Well that is encouraging.
@@Jscoffey73 Where I come from surgeons are doctors. Is this not the case in the US?
not to say they're the perfect smoking replacement, but as far as I'm aware it's the diacetyl that was used occasionally as a flavoring in vapes that caused popcorn lung (not the PG)
and diacetyl is not even found anymore in vapes around the globe, since a minimum of 6 years.
No one finds Mike funnier than Mike 😂
Real Doctor Plays Surgeon Simulator!!! Pleeeeeaaaassseeee
someone blow this up, I need to see this!
Yaaaasss
Yes! That’s an awesome idea!!
except hes not a surgeon....
Yessssss
Can you talk about the cause of allergies, and why/how a person can become tolerant to one?
Allie Collins allergies is when your immune system gets anti bodies to fight something thats not harmful to your body
Allie Collins
prologned exposure to certain things can trigger an allergic reaction in your body, thus making you allergic. Sort of the same as auto immune diseases, your body for some reason creates anti bodies that invade healthy tissue.
I have to get food allergy tested yearly and every year they all change. At this point I’ve been allergic to every single testable food, luckily not all at once. Retro_ VHS has it spot on! It’s really weird and completely annoying! 😑
Abigail Andrews
I’m no doctor I’m just a high school student who really loves learning this stuff. It sucks that your body reacts like that to food, especially since food is necessary but have your doctors looked for an underlying condition that could be causing you to be allergic to many foods? You may have an underlying condition making your body react this way other than just simple allergies.
Does exposing towards the allergy help create future tolerance in the immune system?
