I'm guessing his medical degree was what we call an intercalated degree in the UK. A lot of medical students do one - basically you take a year off and do a special kind of BSc or MSc. It's quite common, but definitely very impressive!

[@DaniCal1forn1a]

It's kinda like time off, but like the other commenter said - it's a medical degree with intercalation, which is quite common in the UK, where medical students do a research degree (specifically, not an MSc e.g. which is a taught degree) for a year related to medicine to gain more in depth knowledge of their field of interest 😊

I used to drink so many fizzy drinks. I switched to zero sugar coke about a month and a half ago and I have lost 7kgs. It did dampen my sugar craving, so I didn’t look for other foods to get my sugar kick and in turn found it a lot easier to stay within a calorie deficit.

It’s cool covering more academic stuff but I do think it’s important to be careful how claims from one study are portrayed. This could just as easily be that people who are more depressed consume more refined sugar because often people struggling with depression also struggle with their diet. It’ll be a matter of a larger body of research and reading the full journal article :)

[@nunoffyabusness2807]

great point

[@purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

exactly!

[@alinadarmo]

I think they did a controlled study tho. Taking people without depression and making them consume refined sugar to see the effect on mood

[@user-gh8bm8ct5t]

I believe there is a link between the blood sugar “crash” that sugar can exacerbate emotional responses. If you associate this crash to similar states (lows of depression that are physiologically similar, make you feel weak, shaky, tired) it can trigger the coresponding emotions as a state dependent response. Some also use sugar and the ‘crash’ to numb out (eating a bunch then going to sleep) similar to other addictive behaviours.

[@laurenrose2376]

Nah no directionality to the claims it could just as easily be depression = more sugar intake, people who are suffering with depression often struggle with diet so it’ll be a matter of reading the full study and when there’s more literature

[@user-gh8bm8ct5t]

@dance 100 there’s truth to this… new major study from this month found NO! validity to the seratonin “chemical imbalance” theory of depression. I know you were making a joke, but there is a dark truth to the trend of depressive patients avoiding/denying effective treatments that are not medication

[@Erinski]

Well, this is good news for me, a Diet Coke drinker that heard all this cancer scare talk, but still didn't stop drinking it, because I like it so much. To me, it seemed like the health problems stemmed from people thinking that because they're drinking a zero-calorie soda, it somehow nullifies the deep-fried oreos and bacon double cheeseburger they just pounded.

[@sakurya972]

I'm not a doctor or a dentist and I agree with 90% of what this Dr is saying. However one thing he does miss out on is that the acidity of diet drinks doesn't differ from full sugar drinks and can adversely affect your teeth if overused. As he rightly says: "The danger is in the dose".

No way it's a better transition than water. Can anyone tell me more about that?

[@hausofphid3966]

I think he was meaning because sometimes someone who switches to just water might feel the need to add something sweet to their diet to replace the soda. So, water is obviously healthier, but if someone eats a pint of ice cream every night to fill that craving for something sweet, they may experience health issues from that that offset the benefit of switching to water over diet soda (which may fill that desire for something "sugary").

[@TheLuckyluc555]

well lets say normally you take 50g of sugar in normal coke, if you switch to water you don't feel like taking 50g of sugar every day and lose that sweet feeling, so you're more likely to eat a bar of chocolate to get that sweet feeling in your body. however when you switch to coke zero you still feel like your taking sugar all day, giving you that sweet feeling, so you're less likely to eat more chocolate instead. something like that?

[@akimlaberge-touat362]

Listen to the clip.... he said that when people switch to water they usualy EAT more sugar while when switching to diet they don't do it as much

[@FC3_RIPPER]

He didn’t say its necessarily better but he said from statistics that people who switch to water will most likely not lose as much weight due to the need of replacing the sweetness with something sugary. Rather than switching to diet drinks which will satisfy your sweetness craving

Many years ago when I heard that the dye in Levi's was poisonous, I just kind of threw up my hands and said, well then I guess it will kill me. lol!

Pregnant women are fine but females before menarche has a very loose correlation with early menarche and sucralose. However it is not a linear correlation (anything more than 1 serving showed absoloutely no correlation, only those that drank 0-1 servings) and there is only one study so more research is needed.

[@TURTLEORIGINAL]

This “Dr.” is a 🤡

[@zakkgeorge345]

To be clear though. The reason why Diet Coke might make you fatter is because aspartame while having no sugar, does still have a glycemic index. Which means your body will produce insulin to breakdown sugars that aren’t there, which in turn causes your body to tell you that you are hungry. Sweetener replacements are great but it’s important to know each one, what they do, and be realistic about it.

[@motocache6645]

This segement made me cringe. There is a mechanistic understanding of how diet soda's are associated with high rates of type-2 diabetes. Habitual consumption of non-caloric sugar replacements (unnatural or even natural aka Stivia) will induce metabolic derangement overtime. The nervous system is involved with digestion/metabolism, this process begins when your tastebuds pick-up on a the injestion of a sugar and your body gears up for digestion; when no sugar is later there to digest your nervous system and become untuned with future ingestion of sugars. Thus when the real sugar is ingestion your body may not have the proper insulin response. This doesn't refrute the doctors findings about a link between high glycemic loads and depression, but the conclusion that diet sodas are a good alternative is not the good conclusion. The claim that diet sodas can curb cravings may be true but better advice would be to never have cheat days, cravings go away with time so long as you remain away.

I one 💯 agree. I cut out the artificial sweeteners and have limited carbs to the undefined carbs.

I’m 5’9. Sugar is a problem but I’m fairly certain that even artificial sweeteners trick the body into releasing insulin which forces fat into the cells. If you want to be healthy you need to eat as close to a natural diet as possible. I can recommend a Dr. On KZbin by the name of Dr. Barry following his diet has changed my life.

I noticed pepsi max has less sodium than coke zero so I might switch.

[@hamiltoes]

My mom got Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma cancer from drinking diet Coke. And that is from doctors at St Mary's hospital, one of the world's most reputable hospitals.

Trying keep in mind that biscuits means cookies. Which I know people do eat. If you buy and eat cookies by choice, like this comment.

I think Ethan is kind of rude to AB and it's uncomfortable. I've noticed this for a while now. And for real, I stopped watching for a while because of this. It's some sort of insecurity and issue Ethan has. I can't stand it because it reminds me of working with a shitty coworker/boss. I hope Ethan can realize this shit before it ruins the energy even moreso than it already has.

[@LettuceCoke]

Start using a straw :) Diet dirnks are perfectly fine but they still have the acidity of other fizzy drinks which is really bad for your teeth.

[@Ladyloubug9]

This dude has awesome questions. Like everything I would wonder but usually not asked. 👍

[@matthew_thefallen]

still, artificial sweeteners taste so bad to my mouth, stevia tastes better and more subtle.

[@neetbucks521]

dr idz, my goat.

[@eastphotoz454]

Could it be that if you drink diet coke the caffeine in it mildly dehydrates you and as our best Jeff Wittek said when you feel like eating it may just be you needing water. So needing water in a diet lacking in enough water leaves you feeling more hungry or snacky while drinking diet coke.

[@fortunecollector]

Diet coke taste like shit. Coke zero is delicious

[@Kat31017]

Isn't coke zero suppose to taste like regular coke? They made diet coke a different flavor

[@fortunecollector]

@@Kat31017 that's why it tastes so good. Because it taste like coke.

[@killervacuum]

i HATE the way ethan is pouring that coke zero !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@oddassembler]

Why wouldn't you believe dr idz. He isn't peddling the aspartame products he is defending .. until only very recently. ...

[@czypherth]

i think this is a good highlight but people might loose the context of the whole conversation. I know uploading the whole conversation as a highlight will cause backlash for being too long for a highlight comments but i guess its better to not include this instead on this channel for full context.

[@akimlaberge-touat362]

What's missing?

[@jonmckaye]

But does it taste the same or better? That’s the question

[@McLovin-.]

This video aged terribly

[@dion1609]

Wait so a pop isn’t good for you? Shocker?

[@Ecutt]

Now have a doctor on who is on the other end of this conversation.

[@nikki3447]

He is a doctor 😭😭

[@OneOranges]

[@husg13]

Ethan gaining weight at an alarming rate.

[@fuziontonygaming]

He things working out is a waste of time.

[@ChronicRetrospection]

It’s like he’s doubling down on not working out and eating healthy

[@scoop2448]

@Frosty both are

[@scoop2448]

@Frosty it's easier through diet and that's ethan's main problem but you can certainly lose weight through exercise by burning calories. that's not even debatable.

[@DubsBrown]

All you need to lose weight is consume less calories than you burn. Either work out to burn more or diet to consume less.

[@scoop2448]

Ethan finds a doctor who justifies his bad habits

[@pending-WW2000]

Right?

[@DinoCallas]

It causes NOFX

[@getschwifty6156]

I'm drinking Pepsi rn

[@paulmaloney2383]

I know that sugary drinks including coca cola are very popular and they have to be one of the most ubiquitous drinks in the world. It is a multibillion dollar industry but I have to say I must be the only person on the planet who has never actually drank this product or any sugary drinks. I did however try coke once when I was a kid and took a small sip of it had to spit it out because it was so sickly in sweetness and I never ever tried it again. It is amazing for me to see how many people can drink this product in such large quantities.

[@white5mage]

Yeah, I'm not drinking that garbage either way

[@armyspy9797]

ok?

[@rhynotink]

Of course Ethan Klein, the same man who went on a rant about how exercising is a "waste of time" brought this Dr. to tell him what he wants to hear. that's sad
