Ice Cream Protects Your Health: The Buried Science | Educational Video | Biolayne

Ice cream sure does protect your happiness

[@TimGautier]

I worked in a lab in college writing software to help the scientists analyze data. While I never saw them explicitly lie about anything, they routinely threw out results that didn't align with their hypotheses.

[@lastpackmagikarp]

I’m absolutely addicted to ice cream

[@NazaninRahmani-g4i]

[@N0strapapas]

I'm not gonna lie: if they asked me to participate in a study where I have to eat ice cream every day for 10 years I probably wouldn't say no.

[@jeffreymyers1761]

And they'd pay to participate and pay for the ice cream

[@mafrendi9118]

Man, your videos really help me. I suffer from a chronic skin disease and because of those fake experts for years I demonised entire food groups and became orthorexic. Only to realise that eating pretty much leafy greens and grass fed beef for an entire year only made my condition worse because of the stress it put me in. For the first time in my adult life I feel like I’m freeing myself from those stupid beliefs about food and even though I didn’t heal completely, I got rid of the stress and anxiety those diets caused me and that did positively reflect on my skin. Thank you Layne. Your content is priceless. And if I may, I’d like to request you a video about what the data says about chronic inflammation. You mention a lot on your videos that it’s not the same as short term inflammation. I wonder if there is anything one can do to improve chronic inflammation. Thanks again, man. Keep up the great work.

[@Individualati]

I'd say this: chronic inflammation is not a single thing, it's not a single pathway. There can be a lot of intertwining factors. Yes, as you discovered, stress is pro-inflammatory. While lots of solid sleep can be anti-inflammatory. Chronic inflammation could involve LOX, or TNF; or IL-6, or other cytokines. You can try food that contains anthocyanins or phytosterols. Even frankincense is an anti-inflammatory, it inhibits 5-LOX (lipo-oxygenase). There is the view that what happens in the skin reflects what happens in the gut. E.g., good bacteria like Bifida might lessen Sjogren's. Some bad gut bacteria can stir up bodywide inflammation. E.g., Klebsiella might be implicated in worsening severe inflammatory conditions like Ankylosing Spondyllitis. And exercise makes muscle produce the anti-inflammatory IL-10.

[@adidkjf]

i have skin problems too and a low carb, low sugar diet helped me extremely with a better skin condition.. with that beeing said, like in my case, 80% of my skin problems come from emotional stress or other unhealthy desicions in life... you need to chill, eat healthy and balanced, living a good life, 8k steps a day, lifting weights and you will see your skin will improve..

[@Individualati]

@Eve D Wise words from Eve.

[@adidkjf]

@Eve D are you sure about that? i dont know any cases where people are allergic to animal proteins like meat only.. i just dont believe this... when people do elimination diets, they often start with meat only... on the other hand, people are often allergic to grains or toxins from plants... but okay, maybe you are one of those rare cases.. but usually you dont have an allergic reaction to animal protein unless your have a genetic defect... maybe you mean milk or stuff like that...

[@SpearedPage]

Great comment! I feel similarly!

[@ColinDeWaay]

Not sure if you ever saw it but a few years back there was a channel called Abs & Ice Cream who documented eating 2000 calories of ice cream every day for 100 days. He lost 30 lbs and saw basically all his health markers improve. He wasn’t trying to say you should eat a lot of ice cream, the point was obviously you can eat it and get results. We gotta stop blaming individual foods. Great video buddy loved the “rant” at the end.

[@the_notorious_bas]

For some reason most people can't make the distinction between food choice and portion control. Those people immediately turn into panic mode when they hear/read the word 'diet'. I'm not anti-media, but I believe that most media (mainstream, alternative & social) play an important role in this misconception.

[@davidnicholls7582]

I would say that that person was eating at a caloric deficit, it would be the only sensible conclusion you can reach when weight loss is involved. Essentially, that is fasting. Then you need to ask, was it the ice cream that improved the health markers, or, the fasting? I would say it was the later, because that's what fasting does.

[@FourCorners257]

It's because ice cream, despite it's negatives nutrition wise, promotes happiness and joy. That is how this works! You heard it from me first, unless you mentioned this in the video which I haven't finished watching yet.

[@martinadelvai4115]

Not sure if this is a factor but at least here in Italy a ball of ice cream has a lot less calories than a slice of cake or a deep fried treat. In my mind that makes it the better choice for a treat.

[@SpiritsOfAnotherDay]

Bon Appetite! 🇮🇹 🍨 🙂

[@RoyalPurpleStar]

A “ball” of ice cream? Not sure what that is but in America, we call it a “bowl” of ice cream. 🙂

[@pookiecatblue]

@@RoyalPurpleStar Well, if you scoop your ice cream with a scooper, it does come out in a ball.

[@temp4miller]

I've was on an 'ice cream diet', big bowl once a day, and very active, plus the other stuff I ate was low cal, lots of veggies and pretty healthy. Maintained BMI of 17-18 as 60+ female. Calories in vs calories out. And my HbA1c was lower.

[@humboldtharry1289]

You have given me hope. I have been looking for a way to justify my obsession. 😁

Ice - Cream home made with Raw Milk, real natural vanilla bean and ice, would agree. Many store-bought brands are junk and filled with too much sugar and "filler".

[@kdskdkdkdk]

Your now my favorite youtuber. On my way out to buy a couple gallons of lifesaving ice cream.

[@nelsonhoffman5922]

I would say one POTENTIAL mechanism is the study looked 1/2 cup. That's definitely a SMALL serving. So 1/2 cup ice cream vs virtually any desert will be very low calorie. ALso, of all the deserts, ice cream has the lowest glycemic index which is in multiple studies associated with lower risk of diabetes.

[@AndyPresto75]

Very interesting as usual Layne, however the anecdote about disbelieving your own data and learning a valuable lesson from the professor was simply priceless. Thanks as always for being such an honest and credible source of scientific expertise when it comes to nutrition, health and fitness.

[@briangoodhealth]

Thank you for your life philosophies. I have for a long time found your honesty and open mindedness refreshing and try my best to do the same in my every day life. Never realized how much a person can go in the wrong path by just seeing what they want to see.

[@medusa_lives]

Layne, a few ideas if you want to take your audio to the next level- Acoustic treatment on the walls would go a long way to reduce reflections. Eggcrate foam isn’t great but works better than nothing- rockwool and similar will have amazing results. You don’t need them on the green screen wall but every other immediate wall would help! The second idea, which can be used instead or in conjunction is using a plug-in like SPL deverb to help remove the room sound. Cheers! I love your videos! 🤙

[@spindleblood]

This!! 💯

[@hughwheaton2705]

There could also be some weird relationships like ice-cream is going to be more likely to be eaten in hot climates, and also at the beach. People who live in hot climates are probably slightly more likely to be healthy, and people who go to the beach regularly are a lot more likely to be etc. I don't see many people eating pudding at the beach.

[@abbiec6057]

I heard this on the radio this morning and I was hoping you’d make a video.

[@mattschwensen9562]

Finally!!! I always eat ice cream and people always comment on how unhealthy it is particularly because I eat a pretty good/healthy diet. But depending on the brand/type of ice cream you eat I find it isn’t ridiculously high in calories and I find it pretty easy to work it into my calorie count. And after all isn’t the most important thing in relation to health maintaining a calorie balance…? Its pretty easy to work ice cream into your macros and as for micro nutrients just eat a good amount of fruit and veg. But hey what would I know I’m just another faceless person in the comment section who happens to maintain a healthy body weight….

[@tyv1383]

I mean yeah, people don’t get this.I used to eat ice cream and cookies after the gym on a cut. It’s really just about caloric intake and getting enough macronutrients. It’s really not rocket science I still eat like 1 or 2 cookies after the gym, something sweet before my protein shake usually lol. Cut or bulk, don’t matter to me

[@tonyng9]

In terms of junk food, ice cream might be the best of the "bad" stuff. If you are just getting vanilla (or a flavor that isn't drizzled with additional sugar, candy, or cookies), you can get a pretty hefty, satisfying serving without breaking the calorie bank. I can easily eat 2 donuts and I'd still want more (people buy a dozen and finish them off in a day or two!). But you look at the calorie count and that's basically an entire pint of ice cream. I never want more than half a pint of ice cream. A little bit of ice cream would stop me from going for worse stuff because it satisfies my cravings.

[@mattschwensen9562]

@@tonyng9 agree 100%

[@Pletzmutz]

My guess would be that ice cream a) not as calorie dense as other deserts (replacement effect) and b) it's a commonly known "bad" food so under-reporting (and/or perhaps because people moderate their consumption) might be a factor I was certainly surprised how relatively few calories regular ice cream contains, especially if you compare it to, say, cookies.

I saw an interview with Richard Arvin Overton an American supercentenarian who at the age of 112 years, 230 days was the oldest verified surviving U.S. World War II veteran and oldest man in the United States, and he said he ate Ice Cream (Butter Pecan) everyday that he could. He lived in Austin Texas and was not over weight.

[@karlhungus5554]

"Overton gained media attention during the 2013 Memorial Day weekend when he told Fox News he would spend his Memorial Day "smoking cigars and drinking whiskey-stiffened coffee." Overton had been known to smoke about a dozen cigars a day."

[@profhaub]

How will NOVA proponents explain this? GREAT point about epidemiology being a start for nutrition research. Many do not understand that post-prandial lipemia studies use ice cream as the base 'food'. However, cream and calories need to be ADDED to get ice cream to induce lipidemia, glycemia, insulinemia in apparently healthy adults. Thus, a small/medium serving of ice cream is not the cause of health demise (unless lactose/dairy allergy).

[@jackwolfe2188]

I’d be more inclined to believe the protective effect has something to do with eating full fat dairy and that other full fat dairy products would have a similar effect. In addition, if I eat ice cream I am satiated and it doesn’t set off constant carb craving the way that pastries, breads, and baked goods do.

[@MegaParkinsons]

I've eaten a 450ml tub of ice cream every day for over a year now, through both bulk and cut... it is a heavenly substance

This makes a lot of sense because without the sugar, ice cream is mostly fat and protein with some lactose. And if you get a lactose free ice cream you don't even have that. Which is perfect for a diabetic.

@@gideon-af He's wrong. There's no study linking saturated fat as a cause to any health issue or ailment. Not one. All the studies show is that people who eat saturated fat consume it with white bread, french fries, added sugars, cigarretes, alcohol, an have sedentary lifestyles. It's not all of that causing the unhealth, though, it's the saturated fat... 🤦‍♂️

[@JOHNNY34A]

Great video. I like how you explain things so well. I think the other factor why this stayed buried, it because they didn't want people to think that they can now go nuts and binge on large amounts of ice cream, thinking they're doing themselves a huge benefit. Plus there are so many other factors like the toppings they put on etc. All the whipped cream, and chocolate sauce and sprinkles, are not dairy based.

Im surprised, that he did not mention it, but my guess is, that People who eat ice cream, are just less likely to eat other high calorie sweets. If You eat lets say 2-3 servings of ice cream, You will be somewhat satisfied, because its cold, you eat it slow, thus you are less likely to go for more servings. In comparison a piece of cake or a chocolate bar, which has butter in it, has the same or more calories, but You wont be as satisfied and thus would want another piece. Conclusion: People who eat ice cream eat less calories, are less overweight and thus less likely to have daibetis.

Interesting find. I speculate the 'healthy contribution' of ice cream is in the form of replacing far worse sweets (biscuits, candy, cakes, doughnuts and what not) with it. Normal ice cream in Europe has sugar content of 20% and it is perceivably as sweet as candy (which can be 99% sugar), hence likely satisfying the sweet graving with less sugar (and energy) intake. I will fail to feed the algorithm.

Layne, i just realized that in your moment of clarity using rodent studies, when Don Layman revealed his insight, that it was enough of a result to change your mind and actions, which is counter to your original statements which was you would only move slightly until more and more studies replicated the same result. If we extrapolate your moment of clarity to others who also forego further studies but rely on their own "research", one could argue that they're no different to your conclusion based on their individual experience, albeit whether incorrect or not. Its an interesting point that you consistently make, despite the contradiction.
