If Garlic powder is not in S tier I will be sad

Update: I am now happy

[TheWpgMom]

I don't think i have ever seen a channel with such dedicated fans. You might be the Beyonce of nutrition 😂

[aaaaaaaaaaa]

I would love to see a tier list on teas, both herbal and non-herbal teas. I know it's a lot so maybe you could focus on specific regions or types of teas for each video. For example white or pu erh chinese teas, north american native plant teas, or African teas etc. I would love to see what you could do with those!

Also both culinary and functional mushrooms/fungi. There are many good things going on with mushrooms people need to know how good they really are!

[alphaikaros]

Spices are really underrated considering they make your meal healthier AND more tasty

[zackschreyer]

I would love to see a Sugars Tier List. Comparing white granulated sugar vs. Brown Sugar vs. Honey vs Syrup Vs Artificial sweeteners etc. Kinda just find out if any of the above have any redeeming micronutrient value.

[rogerfernandez]

that's crazy. Browsing through Youtube i was thinking hm, I want to see a video about the health of spices. I already follow your channel, so i searched it first. It came out 5 minutes ago. mind blown lol.

[nezumi]

I love the nutrition tier lists so much! Can you also make one about mushrooms?

[stephaniem]

You could do a probiotic foods list. Pickles, kimchi, kombucha, etc. Also a condiments tier list. Ketchup, ranch, sriracha, mustard, mayonnaise, etc.

[axem.]

Eating Indian food might give you exposure to most spices in this list.

[iZelmon]

This list is one of rare case where the more tasty = more healthy

[mikeepler]

I was happy to see you mention the coumarin content of cassia cinnamon and the risk of liver damage. Very few people are aware of this.

[omarfarag]

I suggest you rank sweetners such as honey, monk fruit, stevia and others. You would really help out a lot of people and I belive with your amazing research and video quality many people would be interested in such a video.

[olimercer]

BRO
I ASKED FOR THIS
NO WAY
IM PLANNING MY WEEKS FOOD NOW ON SUNDAY
You are the man 🐐

[brotein]

23:34 Herb conspiracy theorists will claim Thyme got demoted to B tier because all A tier slots were taken

[turtlenuggetz]

i wish there was more info on vanilla. vanilla beans are such an amazing plant with such unique flavor

[SimonC]

Seeing rosemary in the D tier made my jaw drop and broke my heart. Never disagreed with your ranking this much before :(
Good video!

[nikmmxm]

I just cant get enough of these types of videos. its just so interesting

[stuartblevins]

I'm so proud you finally nailed the pronunciation of "microbial."

[danielhs]

I would love to see a sweetener tier list from you. I know it's a bit different from what you usually do, but there's so much confusion among all the different types of sweeteners and their adverse effects. Great videos, keep up the good work 🫶

[nancyk-mspc]

I was cubing sweet potatoes as you spoke. I drizzled olive oil in a bowl, then seasoned with garlic powder, sweet paprika, rosemary, cinnamon and salt. I'll now roast this on a cookie sheet and serve with a meat loaf. Thanks for the inspiration.
