I like the fact that Ann actually tests the things. Those other people are just "Trust me, it works but I won't tell how or why and I absolutely won't test it to see if it's true!"

[@dawnkindnesscountsmost5991]

_YES!!!!!_ I don't have any interest for Tik Tok, and I tend to avoid most of the "Shorts" on KZbin, though I'm a sucker for children & their pets playing and laughing- nothing to prove there, just sweetness & joy. "Trust me!" Like, who _are_ you (I don't mean you personally, SebSenseGreen, but a general you of most video uploaders) for me to trust? Some rando posting content for clicks? Nah, thanks but no thanks, live your best life, random video uploader, but who's footing the doctor's bill if I try some rando's "trick" and it goes wrong? Not the rando, that's for sure. Mom taught me at a young age to never eat anything that's used to clean things- soap, laundry detergent, bleach, dish soap, etc.; to trust my eyes, nose, and/or a small taste to tell when things are "off;" when in doubt, throw it out to be safe, and all of that has served me well through 56½ years of life so far. I do trust Ann Reardon. She doesn't expect us to blindly trust her, she shows us what works, what doesn't work, and why, as a competent scientist does. She talks to experts, like the dry-aged meat guy at 3:36. Though I'll bet she's competent enough to learn to do it herself, her time is valuable, and if an expert's available, she talks to them.

Now it's possible it was requested from his viewers bc of the trend, but he doesn't trick his audience. If he got the same result as Ann did, he would tell his viewers upfront that end result.

[@kharneater778]

In Guga's defense, he does weird and outrageous testings with steak so WE don't have to and some are outright inedible but that is what he does. I agree shortform vids aren't the way to go with videos that portray outright health hazards.

He has a professional dry age fridge and I am pretty sure that's where he put that thing as well. We have seen the fridge before. He is also honest when smth tastes disgusting (wouldn't be the first time that smth tastes disgusting, especially since he experiments with the time quite a bit)

@@multifan6679 Yeah, the point is you shouldn't be eating that at all.

In his, case, it makes him a lot of money from views. There is nothing to learn from his videos other than how to make clickbait and how "Trial and Error" is a pretty piss poor method of testing things unless you're trying to get views.

I don't know what it is about these videos, but something about Ann's explanations are helping my mindset around food. Instead of the usual "carbs are bad" stuff I hear all day, here it's "we need carbs and glucose so we can breathe and our hearts can beat!" It's been a really nice change of pace❤

[@tabby_cat]

I know right, while diet can affect your health, your body systems are mostly automated and won't get thrown off by a few 'unhealthy' foods, unless you're already ill with something else. I believe mental health plays a big role in physical health too, and this sort of thing can influence eating disorder habits in people who are prone to it. Stressing chronically about anything, be it food or life circumstances, will end up taking a toll on your body.

[@amitthehuman]

Also, saying that these chains all fold back is basically telling people that potatoes get uncooked if you chill them, which is so obviously untrue that no one would believe it without all the scientific jargon covering it up.

[@jessip8654]

@@tabby_cat The problem is it's not "a few unhealthy foods." Most food at the supermarket, particularly the stuff for low income people, is kinda dodgy. Food these days are stuffed with additives, emulsifiers, fillers, colorants, and refined cheap oils. And horrifyingly not a lot of these additives are safety tested beyond "well they don't immediately kill you so I guess they're fine." You know there's a problem when most supermarket ice cream can no longer be legally called ice cream, but "frozen dessert," and I can't identify half the ingredients in it without a google search. What the hell is "Microcrystalline cellulose?" Oh it's wood pulp. In my dessert. Because it's cheaper than cream. But I also believe blame lies not on the individual for not knowing everything about their food, but with Big Food corporations for cheapening our food to pad out their bottom line, and the government for not stepping up and keeping the corporations in line.

It's a classic case of misinterpreting information most of the time. If a non diabetic hasn't eaten in a few hours and gets grouchy they start complaining of low blood sugar (not really possible to a noticeable level unless in extremes of exertion or starvation) and very nutrition conscious people start talking about glucose spikes when again, as a non diabetic it's not really something that you'll be able to physically interpret or have to worry about.

[@edisonlima4647]

YES!!! There isn't a SINGLE food, herb or spice I haven't seen listed somewhere as both: A) if you have diabetes and even touch this food you are gonna DIE and B) this food is gonna CURE your diabetes!

[@mxpants4884]

​@@DjDolHaus86 As someone who has gotten similarly dismissive statements from medical professionals who were confident that it was impossible to have an internal perception of low blood sugar... it's honestly pretty insulting and dismissive. I'm not diabetic, but I have ADHD and can lose track of remembering to eat. It's not starvation, but it is serious brain fog relieved by consumption of sugar. On one occasion I ended up drinking Kool-aid that my friend had prepared with some zero calorie sweetener and got progressively worse.... until I realized that I hadn't actually had any sugar.

[@DjDolHaus86]

@@mxpants4884 Ahh the self diagnosing patient, every doctors favourite. Have you ever heard of american police officers suffering violent fits and needing narcan to bring them round because they touched a surface that had been with fentanyl? Did you know that it's more or less impossible to absorb opiates through the skin without extremely extended contact? Did you know that's not how an opiate overdose plays out (no convulsions, no dramatic fainting)? Turns out the brain is really susceptible to being self programmed with false information, if you believe you have the condition you can feel the effects regardless of whether there is any physiological change. Those police officers had been scared witless by a media campaign telling them that they could get a contact high by touching the faintest trace of fentanyl and that it was some mega deadly drug that would go home unnoticed on their clothes and poison their kids. The placebo effect is actually very well documented in medical circles. In your case I suggest that you buy or borrow a blood glucose testing machine. Find your normal range and then test and compare when you have this brain fog and see what, if anything, has changed. If you discover some correlation you might just save yourself some long term health complications. If you see no correlation then maybe it'll help convince you otherwise. I'm diabetic, have been for nearly 30 years and the tens of thousands of injections and blood tests along the way. I've been at both ends of the scale on multiple occasions with actual, quantifiable evidence to back up my perception of symptoms within my body and it's really not that cut and dry even with big swings that would be considered a medical emergency to a non diabetic. You can drop dangerously low with symptoms that are imperceptible until you get the alarm or see the numbers on the screen, you can also start feeling like you're on the verge of a hypo with cold sweats, shakes and mental fog and then you check the numbers and you're completely fine and within range. Do you know what I'd give to be able to eat without having to think about it? Do you know what I'd do to never have to put another needle into my battered injection or blood testing sites? Call me dismissive if you want, be insulted if it makes you feel better. To me you sound like a person complaining about denting their car to the person whose dog they just ran over.

Oh ann! i have a reason for why the ice cream bread may work differently in america-- its actually not uncommon for ice cream in the freezer aisle here to have eggs! I know this because I once received a call from a customer when I worked at a bakery (we served ice cream too) asking if our ice cream contained eggs. lo and behold, our ice cream had eggs in it!

[@summerrose1545]

Also, not all cakes (even non fudgy dense ones) have eggs. So to me the debunking of ice cream 'bread' shouldn't be on here imo simply because there are cuatard ice creams with eggs and some cakes do not need eggs.

[@montananerd8244]

Fun fact, traditionally American style ice cream is called "Philadelphia" I believe, and is eggless. French vanilla used to mean vanilla with eggs, plain/American/Philadelphia vanilla is eggless. But the eggs give a lot of body and are cheaper than cream, and I think eggy ice cream is very common now, but prob varies by flavor

To be fair to ice cream bread, in the US we have an extra category of "quick breads," which are basically chemically-leavened sweet muffins in a bread form-factor, including the likes of banana bread, walnut bread, zucchini bread (don't knock it till you've tried it!), cranberry bread (popular for Thanksgiving), and some versions of coffee cake and carrot cake (as you can see, the terminology isn't 100% consistent). Ice cream bread appears to fit this category, and it's therefore appropriate to call it a [quick] bread in the US (though not really anywhere else).

[@Orthus100]

Also muffins.

[@madametaylor625]

@@Orthus100 Maybe you know this but an amazing thing is that any quick bread can be a muffin and vice versa! Cakes are to cupcakes as quick breads are to muffins! You just have to bake it in a different pan and adjust the baking time; quick breads usually take 40-60 minutes but you can test with a knife/toothpick in the middle to be sure.

My mother was just diagnosed with diabetes and my husband has had it since he was 20. I'll have to let them know about the consuming acid before eating thing. I love debunking videos.

[@LynHannan]

I was pre diabetic in July 2019 (50 yrs, height 155cm, weight 75kg, waist 110cm, BP 144/95, BSL 7.3) and being threatened with medication. My GP gave me two months to make a significant impact on my health and suggested I look into "low carb". I Googled it, read a few articles and got interested. Then I went to the search engine in KZbin and searched "low carb" there as well, with several of the suggestions I'm STILL subscribed to: "KenDBerryMD" is a GP in the USA who speaks plain common sense in a no fuss way; "Dr Sten Ekberg" is an athlete turned sports Dr in the USA who is a little "dry" but gives great mini lectures; "Health Coach Kait" is a young Canadian lady living in South Australia as a qualified health coach who has turned her own life around; and only 2 years ago "Low Carb Down Under" (which is an offshoot of Diabetes Australia) run by Australian Drs. By Sep 2022 my weight was 57.3kg, waist 85cm, BP 130/70 and BSL of 5.6! Defeat Diabetes AU is based in Melbourne, starting up about 2 years ago, run by a couple of Drs. I'm on their mailing list and each week get health info in nice little easy to absorb packets as well as filmed seminars/webinars. They also give recipe ideas. They do run courses if you're into those ($$), but by the time I had discovered them, I'd already lost most of my excess weight, lowered my BP and BSL back to normal through watching certain KZbinrs and learning what most ordinary Drs and dietitians don't know themselves. I learned through KZbin, did not have to pay for any courses or buy any strange foods or pills. I learned which foods to avoid without going hungry, which nutrient dense foods to eat that keep me satiated. I'm sure I would have lost it quicker by doing a course, but I think I learned it all more deeply in my own time. I also learned that this is a lifestyle: if you treat it like a diet that will end, then your health will only go backward the more your diet does. Diabetes is rampant on both my parents' sides, I was heading that way myself and had tried many diets that did not work. They did not work because they did not treat the root cause of the problem - CARBS. There is NO intrinsic need for carbs in our diet, the western diet has too many very highly processed carbs that are devoid of nutrients to the point that they have to "fortify" them. If going low carb scares you, then the next best thing to do is to buy, prepare and cook your meals exactly the way your great grandparents did. This was before the highly processed carb-rich foods became so easy, cheap and popular - it may have been ok during the wars (1 + 2), but should never have stayed that way - all the heart(-ache) "attacks", the complications of diabetes meds, the fat(-shaming) and "obesity", and all the other surprisingly associated health problems that we have now are so unnecessary and so reversible! It was a huge learning curve where I had to unlearn what the governments and so-called health departments globally are still spruiking. I had to learn to stop listening to my family when they told me "butter is not healthy" when hundreds of generations ate it all the time with no ill health. I had to learn to stop listening to my husband who told me to "live a little" when he offered me a bowl of ice cream after dinner. I SHOWED THEM ALL! Quietly. Hubby got stuck interstate for 4 months for work - no more unwitting sabotage! He came home and hugged me and said "WOW! I can touch both of my elbows at the same time"! Later on that night, he gave me the sweetest apology for his most unwitting sabotage, saying he would never tempt me in that fashion again, that he could now see that he had only made it harder on me (he has kept his word!). I only want to lose another half size to be able to fully zip up my wedding gown of 23 years ago! But I'm no longer "trying" to lose weight, I'm happy to simply coast along as I am now. I've adjusted to this lifestyle now, no longer crave sweets, no longer resent the rest of my family when they have dessert - I don't have to leave the table because I'm simply not interested. I am satiated and satisfied. Birthdays, Christmas, etc are times when I'll have a couple of treats to honour the event, but I'm noticing now that they just don't seem to do anything spectacular for me anymore - I can taste their sweetness and yumminess, but I don't start mindlessly grazing - it no longer has that desperate hold on me. I have set my boundaries firmly and tamed the run-a-way roller coaster. No-one could do it for me or I would never have respected the beast. I try not to preach because it's cruel to inform someone that there is no Santa. If they're not asking questions, they're not interested let alone ready for the ride.

I don't think Ann had a problem with Guga's content altogether. The main problem is from a health perspective. There are Shorts/Reels/Tiktok which are nonsensical to try at home. Kids, teenagers and misinformed adults may get exposed to content but will probably figure out the severity of trying such a thing. Here however, nowhere inside this Short is shown that it should not be replicated or that it may be dangerous. I checked the video, title and the description and nowhere do you have a warning. By not putting a warning label or text, people may be inclined to try, just because they saw the short form video itself (due to it being popular). They may not even be exposed to the whole channel and long form videos to know what the actual video is about and what are the things you should be wary of.

[@attiasprouse682]

Same. I think it’s because both of them are pretty awesome people. Neither one is a jerk.

I first made it as a little kid (late 80's) out of a church community cookbook. It's a good recipe for little kids, and definitely a good way to handle ice cream that got left out or put in the fridge by accident, or after a power outage. Textures definitely range a lot, you can get a dense Starbucks scone loaf or a fluffy muffin like loaf just by switching ice creams, which I would tentatively attribute to the sheer variety in ice cream brands. Even if you stick with full-fat, non diet brands or flavors and avoid gelato and frozen yogurt and other ice-cream adjacent products, you can have full-fat, premium ice cream that's very dense (Haagen-Daaz) or dense but also watery/icey (Breyers) or light and airy (Tillamook)...and that has to do with the milk vs cream ratios (which aren't marked on packaging, but whole/full-fat milk has a lot less fat in it than cream so you can do some guesstimating based on calories/fat by weight), as well as how much air is churned into the ice cream (aka overrun, again, not marked on packaging, but you can make some guesses based on calories by volume/labeling keywords like "premium"...but best indicator of overrun is scooping ease when fully frozen). More milk makes some flavors "brighter", and more air makes an easier to scoop and faster-to-melt-on-your-tongue ice cream. Balancing those elements is a choice/preference (although I'm sure there's clickbait out there screaming about it being a scam). Since most ice cream bread recipes have you measure the frozen ice cream by volume (overrun still intact), you'll end up getting different amounts of melted ice cream as the fluffed mixture deflates.

The ice cream bread thing has more to do with language than science. This is called "bread" because it's "quick bread".

Other quick bread includes muffins, beer bread, cornbread, the American biscuits and scones. And some say it's bread because it's baked in a loaf tin.

@@mookinbabysealfurmittens I love some vinegars as well. Drank it straight as a kid, and even as an adult occasionally a small amount could help alleviate effects of an acid reflux attack. Now my mouth and esophagus object to my favorites, plain white and white wine vinegar. Taste buds are sad at watered down vinegar but nothing I can do lol

Guga also has a special dry age fridge he puts everything in. The wax was kinda just adding to what the fridge was doing, for good or ill.

[@captainmycaptain8334]

@@saschamayer4050 its a short. you want to watch the process, watch the full vid. judging someone's entire line of work off of a short is crazy. Do you want him to also butcher the animal and source the wax in the short too? These aren't hacks or recipes. guga does this as experiments all the time, some turn out great, others are failures and he's honest when something is a fail.

It's hard to get my diabetes medicine reliably, so I'll probably be trying the lemon juice thing lol (thank you for being ethical and educational!)

I'm so sorry you're not able to get your diabetes medicine reliably (insurance, shortages, and more suck!) But please please please talk to your doctor before you try anything. Be safe!

I was pre diabetic in July 2019 (50 yrs, height 155cm, weight 75kg, waist 110cm, BP 144/95, BSL 7.3) and being threatened with medication. My GP gave me two months to make a significant impact on my health and suggested I look into "low carb". I Googled it, read a few articles and got interested. Then I went to the search engine in KZbin and searched "low carb" there as well, with several of the suggestions I'm STILL subscribed to: "KenDBerryMD" is a GP in the USA who speaks plain common sense in a no fuss way; "Dr Sten Ekberg" is an athlete turned sports Dr in the USA who is a little "dry" but gives great mini lectures; "Health Coach Kait" is a young Canadian lady living in South Australia as a qualified health coach who has turned her own life around; and only 2 years ago "Low Carb Down Under" (which is an offshoot of Diabetes Australia) run by Australian Drs. By Sep 2022 my weight was 57.3kg, waist 85cm, BP 130/70 and BSL of 5.6! Defeat Diabetes AU is based in Melbourne, starting up about 2 years ago, run by a couple of Drs. I'm on their mailing list and each week get health info in nice little easy to absorb packets as well as filmed seminars/webinars. They also give recipe ideas. They do run courses if you're into those ($$), but by the time I had discovered them, I'd already lost most of my excess weight, lowered my BP and BSL back to normal through watching certain KZbinrs and learning what most ordinary Drs and dietitians don't know themselves. I learned through KZbin, did not have to pay for any courses or buy any strange foods or pills. I learned which foods to avoid without going hungry, which nutrient dense foods to eat that keep me satiated. I'm sure I would have lost it quicker by doing a course, but I think I learned it all more deeply in my own time. I also learned that this is a lifestyle: if you treat it like a diet that will end, then your health will only go backward the more your diet does. Diabetes is rampant on both my parents' sides, I was heading that way myself and had tried many diets that did not work. They did not work because they did not treat the root cause of the problem - CARBS. There is NO intrinsic need for carbs in our diet, the western diet has too many very highly processed carbs that are devoid of nutrients to the point that they have to "fortify" them. If going low carb scares you, then the next best thing to do is to buy, prepare and cook your meals exactly the way your great grandparents did. This was before the highly processed carb-rich foods became so easy, cheap and popular - it may have been ok during the wars (1 + 2), but should never have stayed that way - all the heart(-ache) "attacks", the complications of diabetes meds, the fat(-shaming) and "obesity", and all the other surprisingly associated health problems that we have now are so unnecessary and so reversible! It was a huge learning curve where I had to unlearn what the governments and so-called health departments globally are still spruiking. I had to learn to stop listening to my family when they told me "butter is not healthy" when hundreds of generations ate it all the time with no ill health. I had to learn to stop listening to my husband who told me to "live a little" when he offered me a bowl of ice cream after dinner. I SHOWED THEM ALL! Quietly. Hubby got stuck interstate for 4 months for work - no more unwitting sabotage! He came home and hugged me and said "WOW! I can touch both of my elbows at the same time"! Later on that night, he gave me the sweetest apology for his most unwitting sabotage, saying he would never tempt me in that fashion again, that he could now see that he had only made it harder on me (he has kept his word!). I only want to lose another half size to be able to fully zip up my wedding gown of 23 years ago! But I'm no longer "trying" to lose weight, I'm happy to simply coast along as I am now. I've adjusted to this lifestyle now, no longer crave sweets, no longer resent the rest of my family when they have dessert - I don't have to leave the table because I'm simply not interested. I am satiated and satisfied. Birthdays, Christmas, etc are times when I'll have a couple of treats to honour the event, but I'm noticing now that they just don't seem to do anything spectacular for me anymore - I can taste their sweetness and yumminess, but I don't start mindlessly grazing - it no longer has that desperate hold on me. I have set my boundaries firmly and tamed the run-a-way roller coaster. No-one could do it for me or I would never have respected the beast. I try not to preach because it's cruel to inform someone that there is no Santa. If they're not asking questions, they're not interested let alone ready for the ride.

My favorite series in this channel 😍

[@summerwoodward8967]

the vinegar one is so interesting! My whole family has hypoglycemia which makes our blood sugar really reactive to anything we eat, so were all very susceptible to blood sugar spikes and crashes. i might try this one (with lemon juice instead)

[@vanessab5063]

My sister gets really bad crashes after eating too many carbs after her pancreas transplant, I'm going to suggest she tries it and see if it helps.

[@mwater_moon2865]

Just be careful with drinking either vinegar OR lemon juice straight as they can both damage the enamel on the teeth. Honestly if it's all about the enzymes in saliva, then bushing the mouth and rinsing well with water just before the meal should help slow that digestive action with less tooth damage.

[@Scarlett-nu8gh]

Do you have diagnosed hypoglycemia without diabetes?? I get textbook hypoglycemia symptoms but tested negative for diabetes and doctors weren't very helpful. I try to manage it by eating more often and carrying sugary snacks around with me

[@mwater_moon2865]

@@Scarlett-nu8gh Hypo-glycemia is low blood sugar, so too much insulin or an over reaction to it, while diabetes is often marked by hyper-glycemia (high blood sugar) from the body not making enough insulin (type 1 diabetes) or a lack of response to it by the body's cells (type 2 diabetes). Thus, Hypoglycemia without diabetes is actually quite common, it's just that diabetics need to know the signs in case they over calculate their insulin needs and take too much. Now, from what my co-worker with stand alone hypoglycemia mentioned, her doctor warned her that hypoglycemia sometimes is a sign of pancreatic damage and that can LEAD to Type 1 diabetes. But they are very much not the same thing.

Guga actually has a lot of great dry age steak content on his channel, and he does like to try weird dry aging experiments while saying "don't try this at home" to his audience. I feel like Ann could've just spoken to Guga about properly dry aging steaks haha, the man really knows his stuff

Gugu even says don't try this at home because you can get sick. He loves to experiment and tells us that things are inedible. He always says he does these experiments so we don't need to. His channel is fun. He has all the proper equipment too.

[@sanctuary_polaris]

yes but those warnings from his long form arent in his short form. She said she watched the longer form one but a lot of people may only see the short and not even a get a hey dont try this at home because a lot of people only consume shorter form content. that was where her issues were, i think if he would even put like a simple text warning on the short itself (and other shorts where necessary) she would not have had an issue

I'm not diabetic, but I do have GERD. I had a doctor tell me that a small amount of vinegar can help digest food. I discovered that it can even help a severe acid reflux attack.

Hey just want to mention, Guga Foods are known for using their strange dry aging experiments, cheese wax is kind of tame and sanitary compared to some of his other materials like vegemite or peanut butter. He maintains the highest sanitary procedures during his work because over the years he has seen firsthand when a dry age goes rotten and shares tips with his viewers how to detect and avoid it. Also: he dry ages in the fridge, you can see it in some of his videos.

I've actually made ice cream bread before. It's dense and mildly sweet. It was a fun activity to do with my kid and we enjoyed the result enough to make it a few more times. Adding fresh fruit to it, like blueberries, before baking was tasty. It's not something I'd make all the time, and it wasn't sweet enough to be called a traditional desert. It's just a nice little snack and treat.

[@sharkladyindisguise]

Dillon Hollis’ ice cream bread/cake video was so much fun. I have his cook book, and it’s actually really fun lol.

[@sharkladyindisguise]

Agreed! I’ve actually tried the ice cream recipe he made! It’s not bad at all. Well, it’s not as explicitly sweet as most Americans would like, it was a perfectly good and easy sort of novel dessert.

Point of order, Guga has spoken extensively on safety whilst dry-aging and has a professional dry age chamber. I have no doubt he did this, and did it properly.
