I always hated how airborne would say 'invented by a school teacher' like ... Teachers aren't scientists. That irked me, even as a kid.

You are NOT a worthless YouTuber or content creator. You do a lot of research and inform the public, which helps them research and make better decisions. That is an asset for the community.

You could create a channel dedicated to the supplement industry being a huge scam and have content for decades.

The Continuous Glucose Monitor Abbott FreeStyle Libre 3 has this warning. "Taking ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) supplements while wearing the Sensor may falsely raise Sensor glucose readings. Taking more than 500 mg of ascorbic acid per day may affect the Sensor readings which could cause you to miss a severe low glucose event." This is deemed so important that when you first put on the 14 Day Sensor, the First screen that pops up (even before calibration) is the Warning about taking high doses of vitamin C. This means that for People with Type I and even some Type II Diabetics these products are not only a Monetary Scam but under certain conditions can be quite dangerous!

I have given birth naturally. I have had a kidney stone. I'd rather have 18 more kids than another kidney stone.

That "created by a teacher!" always drove be bananas.

Fun fact: Historically the reason the British People were called _Limeys_ is bc the English Navy used Limes as their source of Vitamin C to prevent scurvy as they were unable to reliably get Lemons.

Ive always found this stuff frustrating. Vitamins help to keep healthy, but once you're sick, taking a ton of any vitamin won't heal you. If anything, taking such an excessive amount puts more unnecessary strain on your body as it works to eliminate the extras. Thnx for covering this !

Yeas ago I had uppers stomach issues (ulcer) and I was instructed by a nutritionist to take Emergency-C and it total destroyed my upper GI Tract. My internist was mortified and said why on earth would you put that in your stomach. I got off immediately followed doctor’s orders and the ulcer healed.

I was told by a doctor (and a lawyer at one point in my life) that you should NEVER buy or take any product that focuses on vitamins or other supplements as the main part of the product unless directed by a physician. Doing so without consulting a physician could cause serious harm to your body because without blood work, you never know what you're doing to your body. Always consult a physician first.

Scott: comes out with a new video

Scott doesn't want us all living forever. I'm gonna keep taking my daily lead tablet and no one can stop me.

My dad had a kidney stone once. he was fine one minute, setting up the new fence in our back yard, trying to set cement to majke it strong, and a few minutes later he's doubled over and my cousin had to drive him to the hospital. My dad is one of those silent, tough guys who doesn't complain about pain. He was suffering. So, while I've never had one, seeing my dad show he's in that much pain told me all I needed to know.

[KrausBean]

I have had kidney stones TWICE in my life and both times were the absolute WORST pain I have ever had in my life as well. You go from standing up and being fine to completely doubled over in pain with what feels like fire in your guts (at least that is how it was for me). I hope to never have them again as they were horrible. Anything that could cause kidney stones should be illegal because of the pain that they cause to people.

Hahaha it was about 15 years ago, airborne was court ordered to refund past customers. They sent me a $40 check in the mail

My wife got on the vitamin and supplements kick. Before dinner, she would bring me a bowl of pills, like an appetizer. I started to develop problems going to the bathroom and put on weight. I finally told her to stop. I started losing weight, felt more energetic and could have proper bowel movements again. Never again.

[gamingguruk]

Right, you can take vitamin supplements once in a while to help with holes in your diet. You'll piss away the excess. Cravings can help you determine what you need to eat too, if you are mostly healthy to begin with. You just need to be aware and understand what your body is telling you.

You are slowly becoming my guilty

I wish I could show your videos to my aunty because she's always falling for some sort of scam stuff.
