How do vitamins work? - Ginnie Trinh Nguyen

[@my5434]

TED makes learning interesting and easy to understand , even a 10 year old can understand straight forward. I wish schools taught us like this.

[@passionarmwrestling4331]

That’s an indication of being a good teacher; when complicated things are being presented in an easy way, so everyone understands it.

[@dustinteders9939]

[@LiterallyMe157]

@@WarmBreezeStudios So you know you can die from dehydration because your cells will shrink and die, on the other hand, if you drink way too much water your cells will grow and explode and can kill you. Your body likes to be perfectly balanced and having too much of anything can hurt you. The body is very fascinating. I think the lethal dose is more than 3-4 liters in a few hours. Like Universe said it is very hard to do so no need to worry about it, but it is possible.

I’m a grad student & I love TedEd. Schools should learn to make concepts more simple & clear so can be easier for storing in our brains & use them!

[@nomore-constipation]

The internet started out just for this exact reason (my interpretation) Being able to share information on a single platform was groundbreaking back then. What started out as simple text between Universities and some government sites morphed into the glorious internet we know today. I envy those who get to use this information to it's fullest ability as they grew up Pre-K and on Was always told the younger you are, the more you are able to retain. Starting from K-12 and on is fascinating concept. Would love to know if those who grew up with the technology are absorbing more information than those who haven't (depending on how quickly you started using the internet in your education years)

Bile is not acidic, bile is alkali 2:02

[@jetaime8941]

Callum Yates thank you for the correction

[@randomrock3439]

yeah I also noticed it

[@ntpgmr]

I think "Basic" would be a better descriptor than "alkaline". While they describe the same thing, they aren't describing it in the same way. Alkaline deals with nutrition, while Basic deals with chemistry. Connected, but not the exact same description. Some foods are acidic going by chemistry, but alkaline after going through the body. This means that either bile is basic and that is the proper word, or it's alkaline dealing with nutrition, but acidic dealing with chemistry.

[@kingjoshua6287]

I think the video is referring to BILE ACID not just bile. Bile acids are emulsifier of food especially fatty foods. On the other hand, bile is a pigment that makes your poops yellow/brownish.

[@bhogpatibaboo4072]

And vitamin D is Minecraft

[@135meredith]

Something semi-important to note as well is that our bodies naturally produce vitamins D (through cholesterol molecules in our skin cells) and K (through bacteria in our gut), so these typically don't need to be supplemented very much or at all through our diet.

[@RandomInternetProfile]

a semi-semi important note is that UVB rays interact with said cholesterol (7-DHC).

[@manofgod7622]

Our body produces vitamin D only in presense of sun. Without sun your body is unable to produce vitamin D, that’s why you need to supplement it in autumn and winter.

[@somjittalukdar1360]

in 2:05 minutes of the video,the narration says "an acidic substance called bile" which is not correct. According to books and medical science,bile has a ph between 7 and 8 which makes it slightly alkaline and definitely not acidic. This can be a matter which the channel should look into. Otherwise,its a great video,truely enjoyed watching it. God bless Ted-ed

[@sunnymittra]

Bile is composed of bile acids and salts, phospholipids, cholesterol, pigments, water, and electrolyte chemicals that keep the total solution slightly alkaline (with a pH of about 7 to 8)

[@Tamizushi]

"While bacteria, fungi and plants produce their own vitamins, our body can't" Isn't that begging the question? Vitamins are, by definition, essential organic micro-nutrients. We tend to identify vitamins from a human centered point of view. Of course the nutrients that are essential for members of a kingdom aren't necessarily gonna be the same than for another. In fact you don't even have to go to another kingdom for that. Cat's can't produce their own taurine so you could argue that taurine is a vitamin from a cat's point of view (it's an organic compound, it's a micro-nutrient and it's essential for them).

[@txdmsk]

Yes, that's correct. The word "vitamin" is a cursed one for many reasons.

You can learn all about them on www.WebMD.com/vitamins-supplements/ From what I've seen, it's best to simply eat a well balanced diet.

just dont focus on one particular kind of food, like hamburgers, and limit vitamin suplements to once a week, unless you are sick

[@benjaminbrohmer8866]

Eat meat at least once a week and consume a few fruits and vegetables per week. When you do not supplement you will not get a vitamin poisoning. (Except you consum polar bear liver) It is very difficult to do it wrong. If you are vegan you would need vitamin b12 on the long therm but that's all.
