I can tell you as a runner that 44 seconds faster is insane. That's a sizeable increase in speed.

I love your animation style and how you can make such confusing processes going on in our body seem more simple and I can understand better than I thought

Cheating aside, allowing performance enhancing drugs to be used in competitive sports is a bad idea because winning will boil down to whomever can afford to develop the better drug, which will invariably take a toll on the athletes' bodies. Hell, look at American Footballl; even without drugs the sport will ruin a pro's body over the course of his career.

Life noggin, i have always wondered what happens to the water in the body, you know in detail. From when you pick up the glas and drink it, and the affects on the cells, brain, etc..

"It's so bad that it caused lance Armstrong to get stripped of his Tour de France medals." What, exactly, does that have to do with the body???

Hey Life nogging! Love your videos and hope you guys can keep on making videos for many more years

Periods stop. So don't use it. Really. Really?

I actually use human growth hormone every day. I use it since My pituitary gland dose not work right. You should do a video about growth and where the body produces the hormones for it. I think that would be a really interesting video!

Normally I'm not the guy that writes a lot of comments, but I must get rid of this one. I just discovered your channel today and I am really astonished how you manage to break a complex question down to an easy to understand, interesting and optically appealing video with a perfect length. Really guys I am so glad to have found you. All your topics seem so interesting, you have a great sense of which to pick. Keep it up guys, I hope we'll get to see a lot more of your work!

Why am I watching this tho I don't even exercise 😂😂

[MightySuki]

I would allow drugs in Olympics, so they can break records!!! (They are like superheroes). But also i would like to have natural Olympics, where EVERY ATHLETE would be tested (every week in random time for 4-5 months before competition starts). There would be tested and non tested Olympics. Also rewards for naturals would be much greater then for non tested, so that we would prevent everyone hoping on drugs and going to non tested Olympics. Also once you are on non tested you can not ever go on natural.
