Not dying young increases your risk of cancer!
I'm a goner!
But what if you die young from cancer?!
See, if we just didn't have humans then there the rate of cancer in humans would go down to zero
+I really hate making up names for this kind of stuff true..... WE FOUND THE CURE!!!
Try a cyanide pill. Guaranteed too stop cancer in it's tracks, and prevent future contraction.
My mom (a breast cancer survivor) also says that people just TALK ABOUT cancer more than they used to. That when she was growing up, it was considered almost unspeakably tragic, and even obituaries would say someone died "after a long illness," which usually meant "cancer". That all changed in the '80s and '90s, so anyone who grew up before then probably drew the conclusion that there was some kind of cancer explosion going on.
We are also much better at identifying cancer now. There was a time when people just “got sick and died”, no explanation. Now we have very specific diagnosis, treatment, and even specialist doctors for nearly everything.
Sharks don't get cancer so I would eat sharks. It's really expensive though so I realized rocks don't get cancer so now I eat rocks. I wash them first of course because I don't want to get kidney stones. lol
boom. logic. done.
Well done
Rocks = Minerals =
Mate the video ur watching says sharks do get cancer so why u still believing that sharks don’t get cancer
@@wackyboi7540 can you get a joke
I have terminal breast cancer and am sooo glad you did this video. I get told all sorts of things. Sharing this on my group. My cancer was fueled by genetics. BRCA1+. 40,000 men and women die every year from breast cancer.
Im so sorry to read this sad news you've gotten. That number lost to cancer is five times the population of my home town. I hope you can find joy and love in the days ahead.
Noah Williams I don't know when but yes. It's spread to 5 areas including lungs and brain. My current chemo is helping but cancer mutates and becomes resistant to chemo. I'm on my 6th one, just trying to live.
Stu VS I am thankful for my support system. That number only represents breast cancer so I'd hate to see the totals for all cancers. Pretty scary stuff.

+Jessafur are you mad they used quotation marks and did not directly quote Hank? get a life >.>
+DynamixWarePro Fun fact. Popeye eats spinach because he was bribed by the US government. During "the War" it was a concern that with dads away and mom's working the children were not going to get enough nutrition. additionally, a misplaced decimal has us thinking that spinach was impossibly nutritious since the 1930s (seriously, we only noticed this recently). So the government decided one way to help is to convince kids not to leave their _canned_ spinach uneaten on their plates (though, who could blame them, the stuff is vile.) So they went to the producers of a cartoon that seemed like something kids would like and asked them to boost the profile of canned spinach. Now is has become synonymous with squint eyed sailors.

Grammar
Cancer: The thing that kills you when literally everything else has failed to kill you.
Including old age?
@@MaryamYouyou you eventually run out of life due to old age.
@@netwonc no.
firstly it depends on the cancer type, you can live with mild forms for years for some types, but others kill you if left untreated in days.
Secondly, most cancer treatments that are treated in hospitals are monitored closely, and they do come with risks, but leaving cancer alone that is going to kill you anyway... You actually have more chances with the treatment then leaving it alone. My own mother just had treatment for cancer in Jan, and is fine. 8 weeks later and she is walking around fine. No cancer signs at all, they got it early and they got it good.
Meanwhile her sister and mother had the same type of cancer, no treatment was offered in my grandmother's day so she died. And my aunt died despite treatment as she was too far gone.
the only type of cancer treatment that kills you flat out are the kinds that aren't being regulated. Like eating apple seeds and so fourth, they are poison. The main thing to remember is there is no difference between normal cells and cancer cells except that the cancer cells have a random mutation that makes them multiply out of control. So you can't normally target them specifically and the body will even protect these cells because to it, its just a normal cell like any non-cancer one. The rumours cancer cells are more acidic or whatever is not even true before of it. and these are many types and variations to boot so each needs to be treated differently.
Chemotherapy is often these days a last resort for this reason and saved for extreme cases. In the last 40 years we now have different treatments and people are surviving cancer more and more.
@@netwonc Chemotherapy saved my life
@@netwonc I mean, if you're taking "alternative medicine" cancer treatments like cyanide, then yeah, the cyanide will kill you before the cancer does.

As a former cancer researcher, thank you for this!!!!
LifeWithNath thanks for you're work even if no progress was made it all helps
I think there people out there who have a great mind who could look it to this cancer who are in different jobs. and give sum time to this with these people could talk together
in a forum and put there theory and ideas or new way of looking at it forward to the researcher people with there theory to cancer. i think you know what try to say
ps sorry about my writing
What are free Radicals?
What is PGF1?
Where can I goto school to become a Cancer Researcher?
One of my favorite cancer headlines in history is "Pokemon causes Cancer."
Context: Cancer-researchers nicknamed a newly discovered gene "Pokemon" and Nintendo got pretty angry about it. Enough to warrant some legal actions to get it changed.
Neis That was Pikachu. And it doesn't cause cancer and Nintendo aproved of it.
No, pokemon and pikachu are two different things. But they're practically synonymous in all other contexts.
Lol
Refined White sugar greatly reduces the immune system , and supplies the recipe for the outer film on the tumor . NOT A MYTH . He’s been using the wrong sources , also NOT A MYTH

Thank you Hank Green and Sci Show for being a voice of reason in a word where there is so much misinformation floating around. This is my absolute favorite CZcams channel.
You mean pseudo-reason?
MYTH : If you talk a lot and constantly wave you hands around , you will be right / everyone will believe you (FALSE)
This video contains some great examples of “marketing” info disguised as “science” info
I love how this video is so well put when talking about a topic so complicated. Thank you SciShow!
That last misconception is very interesting. It's true for cancer, and also for many (though not all) diseases or conditions that are considered to be "due to our modern world". Yes, as we get rid of some causes of death (infectious disease, for instance), people live longer and the longer you live, the more likely you are to die from other causes, like like cancer, dementia or "old age" (organ failure due to cells in your organs degenerating and becoming worse at doing their job). Better diagnostic tools is also an important factor to take into account, especially with mental disorders: what at one point might've just been called a 'crazy person', now we have a broad range of named and acknowledged disorders, each with their own diagnostic criteria, and we're getting better at spotting symptoms.
You ruined my dinner! I threw my Batman mac n cheese in the trash....

"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to get cancer."
Wow find my own comment by accident lol
@@Zenheizer So you are watching it daily? 😂
@@mrunknown452 lol, yeah at some point you forget the videos you already watched
You need to do some studies and compare refined sugar with with unrefined sugar.
Also learn the different ways the body reacts to calories from protein fats and sugars
All calories are not created equal
Yeah he was horribly wrong about that one
Hank just as an update there is a lot of research going on at the moment regarding ketones and cancer. Yes if you simply avoid sugar the cancer cells will take it from your existing glycogen stores (which is why so many people suffer weight loss) and eating any carb source will add to the glucose needed for the cancer cells, but when your body has keto adapted studies are showing that the cancer cells struggle to find an energy source whereas the person affected has an adequate source of energy to feel normal. Worth taking a look into and updating this video.
I think more research about that subject would be worthwhile
interesting - except, i thought eating keto style for a long time (i don’t remember how long) is not good for your health either. also, i’d like to know how the study was conducted. if human subjects were in the research, how big or small was the sample? small samples are usually way off the mean. thanks though - something to look into. :)
@@feralblueeit really depends on how the ketogenic state is achieved and obviously thr nutritional aspect on the foods consumed. I don't believe humans are design to stay in ketosis for a lifetime, specially those whose gens perhaps favored the metabolism of glucose rather than fat. In my case, I did therapeutic ketosis for 4 months to successfully treat IR and my epilepsy. However I did a clean version of a meditarrean keto diet, I included unlimited vegetables and eat fruits (yes even sugary fruits such as bananas and mangoes) as dessert. I combined them with monosaturated fats and some saturated fat (to add flavor and calories) I managed to stay in ketosis with a glucose level of 120 after a moderate carb meal. Meaning there's way to do a healthy keto diet without weight loss muscle loss and a rise in colesterol, the only issue I found was eating out with friends. I now do 1 period of ketosis a year, and I mostly stay now between a very low carb diet and I would occasionally increase my carb intake around Christmas
@@frrt2855 Wow! good for you - really. i’m from the generation where macrobiotic foods were the thing. so in my 20’s i did a lot of that and it really made me feel a lot better. at 77 i’m beginning to get back on it now. it is helping. i have not been eating well at all - you know, life events. i think whatever healthy diet works for your body, is great to live by.
btw - i loved the carbs at Xmas time!!!! :) 🎄🌺☃️
@@feralbluee I've been thinking about searching out a book on macrobiotic eating. A lot of people haven't heard of it at all. Nice to see your comment. I'm 53 and my exposure to macrobiotic cooking was about 50 yrs ago from someone 25 yrs older than me. 😊
I feel surprised Hank didn't mention that we have more and better ways to look for and diagnose illness. The amount of disease present that was never diagnosed, is not known.
Thank you so much for doing these debunking videos!! They are so badly needed to inform the public. Next do a debunking diabetes myths video please!! I have patients asking me about them every day.
I hope I don't get cancer
We all do.
+Golden-Leaf That could be taken to mean two very different things.
Zanzibar Haberdasher I hope I don't get cancer and I hope he doesn't get cancer too.
Golden-Leaf
I know what you meant. :P
I was just pointing out, mostly just as a joke, that you 'could' have meant that everyone gets cancer.
+Nessie The Lochness Monster I hope you dont get cancer either :)
Great, now I'm stuck with 15lbs of Jedi Cheese.

I am a doctor and I am so so so frustrated when I hear other doctors try to promote cancer cures like beam therapy and fasting from sugar. It boggles me how foolish people can be.
I have to applaud you and your team at Sci Show for this particular show. Chasing down the half truths and money making quackery that gets fed to the general public is even harder than the classic "whack-a-mole" game. The skill of your team to put together a sort concise program to fight this equivalent "knowledge cancer" should be commended loud and long. Thanks again for this and all the work you folks are doing.

Been on a SciShow binge recently (hands up, anyone else?), you guys have so many videos on so many diverse topics!
That's not the only reason I love this channel of course, Hank and all the other presenters are highly entertaining to watch as well, but perhaps most important of all the team as a whole have no qualms about saying it like it is. What I mean, to be precise, is that SciShow do the proper research and present their points in a way that's both factually sound and informative, yet very easy to digest. I particularly admire that, like truly scientific minds, they aren't afraid to go against the grain either. Whether it's clearing up common misconceptions as in this video, or even correcting themselves when they make a mistake or the theories are altered, SciShow remains true to the spirit of the science genre.
This world needs to be more informed, and it's people like those of the SciShow team and their loyal viewers who make that possible. Keep up the excellent work and stay classy!
P.S. You guys still need to work on the sound difference between intro and content, especially on the daughter channels - RIP headphone users :^)

Exactly
Cancer cases might also be increasing because of better methods of diagnosing it. Not sure but seems plausible.
Actually, better diagnosis is probably the reason spectrum disorders seem to be getting more common, so it would not be a stretch to assume that the same could apply to other phenomena.
+Vibhav Sinha Once upon a time people attributed all of their ailments to God punishing them, so yeah I think we're getting better at diagnosing problems in general.
+Vibhav Sinha That might have been true when we just started out detecting it, I'm pretty sure in the last decades or however long that was, it's been the same.
+Vibhav Sinha That's one of the main reasons, especially in older people. In the past you'd have said that the person has died of old age, not caring about the actual reason, as long as it wasn't murder. Even nowadays, not all old people who die are checked for the reason of their deaths.
*****
Can you read? I didn't say that there is death by old age. I said that people tend to say that someone died of old age instead of looking for the actual cause of death.
Guys, who clenched when he mentioned removing a testicle?
Cancer is one of those diseases we're living long enough to get and die from.
Thanks for this video. One thing that rarely enters into the discussion is that of the long term effects of ionizing radioactive residue from the approximately 2000 nuclear weapons denotations done since the 1940's. I would find it hard to believe that even if with some measures of control of the fallout in these experiments, that no lasting effects influence cancer rates. Maybe you could address this issue in a future video?

Devin M agreed
My first diagnosis was melanoma in 1988. My second was prostate cancer in 2015. So far, I'm still here. And I appreciate your search for and distribution of facts. My heavens, the bunkum we could follow. I have competent doctors and friends who are also doctors - I rely on them.
My daughter is 11, and since she's been in school 5 different mothers throughout this time have died of cancers, all of them in their thirties - that is NOT NORMAL. - a 15 year old girl in our town also just died of brain cancer, and very recently in our town 16 year old girl got diagnosed with womb and cervical cancer - the cancer rates in our town ARE NOT NORMAL and cancer rates are DRAMATICALLY on the RISE
Well, I've found my peace that I will most likely get cancer at some point in my life.
My mom had Uterus cancer, my father had a tumor in his prostate (a good one though) and my aunt had breast cancer.
They all survived though, which I'm very thankful for.
And I am a little bit paranoid about all of this, but I love how positive you are about it. Cheers.
Eating a high sugar diet over an extended period of time - will affect your body's insulin resistance.
If this diet is maintained long enough, it might damage the B-cells in your pancreas, thus result in an unfavourable condition referred to as "type II diabetes", which is linked with hyperglycemia (elevated blood sugar levels).
Hyperglycemia, even when it is acute, short-term hyperglycemia affects all major components of innate
immunity and impairs the ability of the host to combat infection; the same kind of mechanism that the immune system utilizes for combating cancer-cells in your body.
Skip the sugar (or at least; don't abuse it), or include a less damaging substitute in your diet.
This shit is basic enought for anyone to look up....
Cheers
thecpommander I was looking for this comment! You only mentioned the one supposed "misconception", and your comment did a better job of addressing the issue of cancer and cellular implications of sugar intake than the video itself! Sci show is a great channel; but man, do they ever get it next level wrong sometimes...
@@brianfp8081 As far as I know, there is a connection between metabolic disease and cancer risk. I'm sure it's complicated but high insulin and insulin resistance are part of the equation.
@Ms Rana it feeds cancer cells and your own body. Also, are you sure that sugar restriction is the thing that removed the cancer? Even the doctors had no idea what was causing it?
❤️❤️HARRY HOXSEY💯 CURED OVER 80% of his patients from cancer and most continued living for 10-15-20 or MORE years afterwards which is pretty good. He had 17 clinics (Hoxsey Institute) across United States and one in Mexico. A posting on CZcams titled "the quack that cured cancer" is about him.
Chemo and x-rays only benefit 5% of patients and then they are given 5 years to live because the cancer will come back and this time the immune system is devastated from those harmful “treatments.“
The human body has a natural pH level of 7.35 on average which is slightly alkaline. As long as the human body is alkaline, cancer CANNOT grow or survive because it MUST have an acid environment. THE BIGGEST CULPRIT FOR CANCER IS SUGAR which is in so much of our food as it causes your body to acidify and then open itself to cancer.
Part of the cure used by Hoxsey and others includes vitamin B-17 (aka Laetrile) which has been removed from our primary diet by the AMA and the US government. Americans enjoyed baked goods from sorghum which was rich and be-17 until the federal government encouraged farmers to plant wheat instead which has no B-17. Plain baking soda and a glass of water an hour or more before each meal (an empty stomach)3 times a day for 30 days brings the pH back up to alkaline levels. Afterwards, I recommend taking a teaspoon of baking soda in water every day for the rest of your life.
♦️A teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water on an empty stomach at least 60 minutes before a meal 3 times a day for 30 days and then stop.
Do it again 6 weeks later for a few weeks while eliminating sugar and high carbohydrates from the diet… Go green as much as possible and eliminate processed foods. Fruit juices are loaded with sugar and should be avoided or taken in very small servings. It’s much easier than chemo and x-rays and does not have any side effects. No harm trying the natural approach where as the chemo and x-rays destroy the immune system.
♦️Also, you can order ORGANIC BITTER APRICOT SEEDS which are rich in vitamin B-17. Eat 18 daily due to Cancer where is normally it would be 12 for prevention.
Soak the seeds in water for 1-2 nights to make them very tender. Easy to eat, rich in fiber and even more pleasant with dark chocolate… Preferably 95% which is nearly pure cocoa with a minimum of sugar.
- [ ] ✅ Order directly from the source www.rawgarden.net which is a company located in Pembroke Pines. Strangely, when they do not have stock, they take items off the website. This can also be ordered through Amazon for about the same price, but they are limited to stock from Raw Garden as well.
===========
Each B-17 cell is made up of 4 molecules of which the 2 relevant molecules are one of sugar and one of naturally formed arsenic. When B-17 enters the body it is drawn to cancer cells which are drawn to the B-17 because it has a sugar cell in it… The cancer cells go for the sugar and that is the ONLY time the arsenic is activated and ONLY kills cancer cells ~ NOT healthy cells. 🤗👍👍
FALSE articles are continuously published by the AMA and US federal government LYING to the American people by telling them they will have arsenic poisoning if they get vitamin B-17 into their systems… Cancer makes lots of money for oncologists and facilities “treating” cancer patients.
Nobody will NOT build up a toxicity of arsenic with this or other natural sources of B-17. The AMA fought to SUPPRESS Harry Hoxsey and others providing NATURAL CURES to the American public because Pharmaceutical companies can NEVER get a patent on natural sources EVER.
An important CZcams video is titled “the quack that cured cancer” which is an article written by a newspaper reporter who was sent to Harry Hoxsey so he could “expose him as a quack.” (Watch it!) 🤗 Hoxie was exposed… Saving over 80% of his patients.
When the reporter met with Harry Hoxsey, they interviewed for a while and then Hoxsey told the reporter he did not have more time as he had many patients… Harry Hoxsey told the reporter to INTERVIEW all the PATIENTS he wanted to and to REVIEW all the PATIENT FILES he wished… The reporter interviewed 100+ patients who told him that they were being cured and Others that were cured were returning for followups… all those cured by the Hoxsey method remained CANCER-FREE and LIVED 5-10-15-20 years or more compared to the maximum 5-year limit of traditional treatment cancer patients. Rarely did any of these patients die of cancer and many lived without cancer for 5-10-15-20+ years!! 🥰👍👍
A very important fact that most people are unaware of is that your body‘s natural pH level is 7.35 which is slightly alkaline… If your pH drops below 7.0 ( neutral), your body becomes acidic which is what cancer needs to flourish. Fact: Cancer CANNOT SURVIVE in an alkaline body which means as long as you have a normal pH, you will NEVER develop cancer. Basically, an alkaline-food source of an all green diet without ANY wheat, meat, dairy products or anything processed will restore your health along with a steady source of B-17 to KILL and PREVENT further cancer. 🤗🤗🤗
An easy and inexpensive way to bring your body’s pH back into a healthy alkaline levels is to take a simple teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water ONE HOUR OR MORE before each meal (3 times daily for 30 days). You do not want to extend the period because you could develop alkalosis. Furthermore, research foods that cause alkalinity in your blood as well as those that caused acidity. Make sure your diet includes those foods that cause the alkalinity and avoid those that cause acidity. Pretty simple.😁👍👍
Pharmaceutical companies know there is “very little money” in curing cancer when they can make plenty prolonging it. Chemo and x-rays destroy the immune system of 100% of patients receiving these “treatments.“ Less than 5% of patients receiving this treatment prove it “effective” and are then told they have up to 5 years to live. Don’t forget that X-RAYS CAUSE CANCER so why would you want treatment using x-rays? Remember, the people giving you x-rays always get away so they are not exposed… How can you believe it can help you? LIES.🤮👎
With claims between 80% and 90% or more of TOTAL CURES for patients of Harry Hoxsey in his 17 clinics across United States and one in Mexico during the 1920s well into the 1960s until the US government and the FDA finally shut it all down… Except Tijuana Mexico which still has the Biomedical Center Hoxsey Clinic using the Hoxsey method… Healthy natural diet, elimination of all sugar and processed foods along with the Hoxsey tonic of antineoplastic (anti-cancer) natural herbal ingredients. If I ever developed cancer, I would be sure to contact the BCHC rather than seeing AMA doctors who will kill you with chemo and radiation (cancer-producing) treatments.
Although the Hoxsey method cure rate is astronomically high compared to traditional western methods many claim he died of cancer although his regular primary physician claimed he had a weak heart and kidneys. Even ***IF*** he had developed cancer and could not cure himself with the method, REMEMBER THAT 80% OR MORE WERE CURED which is astronomically higher compared to living up to 5 years maximum with a severely compromised lifestyle until you die miserably.🤢🤮
Biomedical Center Hoxsey Clinic in Tijuana Mexico +52 (664) 684 9011. Yes the info is inadequate, please research! Don't suffer and die needlessly from a and illness which can be prevented and cured! Best wishes to all 😁👍
Correction: eating a high sugar diet (IN A CALORIC SURPLUS) is what leads to insulin resistance
Thank you! This was so interesting and informative! I love how good you spread scientific news for all of us who aren't scientifics. Greetings from Germany
how do you write so clear english. wilkommen.
I have stage 4 cancer but have been living with it for 30 years. It is estrogen-positive breast cancer that has spread to other parts of my body. So far, various treatments have limited its growth and spread to just a few spots, such as my right lung, which has allowed me to live a semi-normal life. I tire easily, and I'm not as strong as I used to be, but otherwise I do pretty well for being 79 years old with cancer, heart failure, and a bunch of other diseases and disorders.
Forever grateful to you guys for making it easier for my un-sciencey brain to understand really cool sciencey stuff like this.
I would recommend the book "The Emperor of All Maladies" by Siddhartha Mukherjee. It's a detailed biography about the history of cancer and chemotherapy and is very helpful in addressing certain ideas about cancer. There's also a documentary based on the book on PBS.
''The gene'' is also good
Good stuff! Regarding biopsies, doctors can now use a double needle method whereby a larger needle surrounds a smaller one that actually does the sampling so that cels are not dragged out of the tumor.
I love how he smiles through a lot of the fear inducing information
Thanks for making clearing that up, i have been diagnosed about 5 months ago. People tell me all different kinds of things everyday that they just assume are true. The funny thing is i felt it grow for about 2 years but couldn't figure out exactly what it was. But googling my symptoms over and over, i knew it was a possibility but nobody believed me when i said I might have it.
How are you now?
So, it took you two years knowing you had a growth but you didn't go see the doctor?! You chose to look it up online and diagnose yourself? You could've had two years early treatment that could have prevented any future bad demise
Are you okay????
Im doing a school project and I came to the comments to look for the answers but y’all didn’t help! 😑
Literally
The anti oxidant item is relatively new as science used to think that antioxidants were more important. It is only relatively recently that scientists have come to understand that their importance is not that enourmous.
Another good ,science backed information, busting the Câncer myths..Thank you for your diligent work...
Actually it is not true that "protein gets turned into glucose" - that's Gluconeogenesis, and it only occurs if you are consuming way too much protein; otherwise in the absence of dietary sources of glucose the body will subsist on stored fat in the form of ketone bodies.
See also: journal.diabetes.org/diabetesspectrum/00v13n3/pg132.htm
+Joseph Gosselin (Popple) Gluconeogenesis occurs the moment your glucose levels drop too much. Your red blood cells are totally dependant on glucose, they can't use anything else. Glucose is the preferred nutrient of your brain. Even after shifting to the use of keto-bodies, the brain will have a base demand of glucose. You'll feel a little dizzy at the time of the shift as the brain will first have to produce the enzymes necessary to use keto bodies. Glucose is not only an energy souce, but also a building block used in glyco-proteins and glyco lipids. Proteins as well as lipids will be turned to glucose to satisfy the base demand. Of course protein will be used if there is alot of it, as it is necessary for other stuff. Your body will produce glucose at all costs. Only and idot would reduce their glucose intake to zero. It's not healhty to keep up a ketogenic diet.
May the Science be with You You almost had me, right up until the end there when you went all straw man on me, and then stated something with no basis in truth. 200lbs down and counting, 3 years in, I think I have plenty of evidence to the contrary.
+May the Science be with You
I actually know someone that tried to reduce glucose intake to zero. Didn't end well, but don't worry, he's fine now
+Joseph Gosselin (Popple) All amino acids with the exception of Leucine and Lysine can be converted into glucose. Gluconeogenesis from protein as well as the formation of ketone bodies from lipids occurs during starvation.
Gigabic my glucose intake is ZERO. And I'm doing just fine.
I still wonder why the heck is tobacco legal, it's a dangerous drug that affects the smoker and the people around
*looks at huge stacks of money the tobacco industry makes* hmmmm....I wonder...
And their pets and to children inhaling unfiltered secondhandsmoke. There is NO safe level if exposure to tobacco smoke.
Actually tobacco is not harmful until lit on fire because when lit on fire it creates harmful gasses, along with the other chemicals in cigs, that you breath in and out causing lung issues but, if consumed normally there is no harm. Much like weed, eating it is fine(unless you're a kid) but smoking it can be harmful.
+Robbie Koochagian (ImAyorr) if fine is a brain altering, addictive chemical. That rots your teeth.
Consuming alot of it does that, but I'm pretty sure that most people take somewhat decent care of their teeth along with people just don't eat cigarettes like a snack
I've got brain cancer, and traditional treatments like surgery, and radiation treatment have been successful for me so far. This vid is good, and sheds a lot of light on misconceptions of cancer, and its treatments.
Great vid as usual. And as usual, you show us nothing under the sun is truly new😄
Is Acidic water bad? You guys should address the water ph thing. I need to know if it's BS
no its real you need alkaline water to help with the cancer
Pretty much everything you eat is acidic. To my knowledge (which is limited to what my chem teacher has told me) the only basic thing people eat is raw eggs.
Haku infinite Are you stupid 😂😂😂
Take my words with a grain of salt as this is a high school biology answer, all water has an acidity and you drinking acidic water will do no harm to you because it doesn't stay in your system long enough to do damage. Acidic water is a problem because in large amount such as a lake will cause quite a bit of danger to the wildlife such as fish and plants who are constantly in or connected to the water which gives the acidity in the water enough time to do damage to wildlife
+Samantha Squarl Our body needs acidic items, Acidic isn't something you see in games where it burns threw walls and metals. Only certain strong acids that are MEN'T to dissolve things can do that but even that takes time. Eating lemons or other acidic foods is good or you and won't dissolve your insides...Also most water we drink right now has a ph of 6.9
You mentioned the relationship of glucose and cancer and this intrigued me. What are your thoughts on the relationship of ketones and cancer and healthy cells?
Thanks! :)
I've been working with cancer cells in "high glucose" and "low glucose" mediums which was about diabetic levels and normal levels levels. It showed clearly that not only cancer gets bigger faster in high glucose mediums, it also was more likely to migrate (metastasize) and less likely to die off of chemotherapy. So yes it will get its sugar elsewhere, but you can also fuel it to destroy you faster by high caloric intake, this really scared me. They also changed appearance and looked completely different in high glucose (and we transformed them multiple times back and forth to check if they are the same cells)
Splendidly explained. Well done.
You are the new generation's Bill Nye... Love your show Hank.
Arcadis Torias yes, along with Vsauce!
So he’s not a real scientist?
Arcadis Torias overstatement
Bill Nye is a fool, so that is an insult.
I don't want to get cancer,
but I also want to read the CZcams comments
Great video! Lots of good information!
"No matter how much Star Wars Mac n' Cheese you eat, you won't become a Jedi"
Well, there goes my career plan.
Love love love SciShow, but noticing a real trend on dietary and nutritional information being incorrect.
Protein and sugar are NOT processed the same way.
Protein isn't usually converted to calories, either.
It is often broken down into amino acids to form structures and cells in the body.
@@Tylerkawaii fat cannot convert into carbs, hence the ketogenic diet.
THANK YOU!!!
I am pretty sure that there is a lot of evidence that our body's don't treat all calories in the same way. If you have research that disproves that I'd love to see a sci show episode on it
Good to see this show up in my feed again
I like you guys. You've made this digestible to my anxiety brain.
I have Breast Cancer, and the last statement "we're living long enough to GET cancer' made me bust out laughing lol .. so true. we all gotta die somehow, right? (now onto the morbid side of youtube) ;)
"We are winning the fight against cancer but we're also winning a lots of fight that meaning people to live long enough... To get cancer."
100 years ago about 2% got cancer.
Today almost 50% get cancer ????
How is that wining the war on cancer ??
I have cancer and youve just broke my heart. Please make a video about the truth good things that help cancer patients!
On the sugar one, if you go into ketosis through either fasting or keto diet you would lower your glucose in your blood stream resulting in slower cancer expansion
To add to that, if you lower your blood sugar drastically (which is shown to happen in a ketogenic state), you lower the presence of insulin in your body, which in turn reduces the amount of IGF1 which is what causes cancer cells to proliferate. Also, the guy in this video didnt explain that cancer cells cannot use ketones for energy, unlike healthy cells. Therefore, ketosis reduces blood sugar levels, which reduces IGF-1, which reduces cancer cell proliferation and growth and depletes the energy source cancer cells need to thrive.
@@virtualyuriqueen ye 100%
In my opinion instead of using expensive treatment we should raise awareness of ketosis and its healing properties. Also many people report fasting as curing many of their diseases
@@bat_bro1lewis491 --Neither one of you have any credible evidence, just prose.
And here I thought I was going to be a Jedi. Way to kill my dreams. :(
R.I.P. Technoblade, you will be missed.
Cool, but what about the ketogenic diet for cancer? The diet inhibits protein as well.
Thank you for this video

Web MD SERIOUSLY needs to watch this video
In reality we are not bringing down the Cancer rates in industrialized nations. That's nonsense. There are only a handful of cancers we have really made significant progress in treating. For the most part, most cancers treated by modern American Medicine sport only about a 9% success rate. This means in lay men's terms , Modern Medicine has less success in treating most Cancers than a sugar pill. The placebo effect accounts for from 30 to 40 % of positive results in clinical studies of drugs. Modern Main Stream Medical Cancer treatments of most cancer are far less successful than even a placebo, 9% vs. 30 to 40%. And the Main Stream treatments are also highly toxic, and potentially carcinogenic in and of themselves, so even if they cure your cancer, they are often causing mutations to set you up down the road for a new cancer to arise.All this if fact and beyond any serious refutation, it is well known and easily uncovered with the slightest bit of research.
There are natural cures for cancer. I know i cured my cancer more than40 years ago 100% natural
@@herbbowler2461 Please elaborate on what type of cancer you were cured from as well as what the natural products are...
Greetings from Sunny South Africa✌
@@narrimanduplessis7334 I had bone cancer in my leg and colon cancer at the same time
I went on i a strict vegan diet
I juiced organic vegetables
I consumed a lot of fresh flax seed oil and freshly ground flax some nuts and seeds
About 80% of my diet was raw. I. grew and eat a lot of sprouts.
I did fasting alternating between juices.and distilled water
No refined foods
I exercised regularly
I did voga mediation
It took roughly 3 years to become cancer free

Thank you for providing science based information. Cancer survivor
Brilliant! Well done!
That last line was gold! "We're winning the fight against cancer so people can live longer....so they can get cancer."
By all means brother, enjoy your sugar, lack of nutrients and future medications....
Statistics also don't take into account how easy it is now to detect cancers, earlier. Obviously the more we know about it, the more people seem to have it!
I could listen to Hank all day.
you scared the living hell outta me when you mentioned that a biopsy could release the cancer cells!!!! please say something like “it’s not true, but people think that. . .”. my husband just had a biopsy a few days ago, and my brain just fizzed with anxiety. i’m glad i kept listening and am not the type of person to go running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
besides that, this was a terrific video, so well researched as usual and i thank you for the information - one doesn’t really know how something feels until you experience it first hand. so thanks :) 🌹🌱
“Just because something sounds like it makes a lot of sense, doesn’t mean it does?!?!” What kind of double-speak is that??
The sky is blue. Things are usually blue because they are painted or dyed blue, but the sky is not painted or dyed.
Lead tastes sweet. Humans crave sweet tastes because sugar was a rare resource for early humans. That doesn't mean we crave lead as an important resource for our bodies.
Think.
this Sugar fact topics were slam my brain into pieces. i feel really hopeless now, unless facing those scarry chemo medicine later on. dear scishow, would you release the Chemotherapy topics ?
but how about fatty acids try to exchange the role of glucose ? would you tell me more about it scishow ?
My paternal great aunt died of cancer in July 2015, my maternal great uncle died of cancer in Jan 2016, and now, my maternal great aunt and her husband both have different types of cancer right now. My paternal great aunt was a heavy smoker and drinker, and she always thought the cheaper, the better, so her cancer was caused by her life choices. My maternal great uncle was on all types of drugs, prescribed or not, and was also a drinker and a smoker. My maternal great aunt's cancer is most likely a blood/bone (She's been too worn out to update us all) cancer, and her husband's is brain cancer. I find it so weird that people are getting cancer, in my opinion, a lot more and its becoming worse and worse. Would there be a reason why?
Wish he would have spoken to the essential oil craze...just saw an article claiming it cures cancer.
+Sean Knabel A simple video from them will do nothing to a health craze.
I've adds from websides that claimed thay had a cure for every case of cancer.
It sickens me that people try to make money from others who are desperate.
Yellowstone: Canadian physicians referred terminal patients they no longer had any treatment to offer to the nurse Rene Cassie.
Cassie offered them an Ojibiwa medicine men formulation of herbs: sheep sorrel, slippery elm, burdock, and turkey rubarb root.
Of the patients who went to Cassie and used the Ojibiwa tea, some went into remission after having had their physicians give up.
Cassie keep clinical notes and write a book. It was not allowed to be imported into the USA.
Essiac, Cassie's Tea has been widely sold in health food stores for many decades I a liquid form & as a dry tea to be brewed.
It is sold as a liquid because the standard instructions are to boil a bottle of tea twice fir 29 minutes each time, 24 hours apart if one is going to store the tea for up to a week in the refrigerator. This is because the nutrient rich tea will grow microbes if not boiled sufficiently.
At least 3 teas have traditional reputations for strengthening the immune system:. Sheep sorrel, chamomile, & echenacia. Chamomile also has a traditional reputation as an anti-inflammatory.
After people have compromised their immune system by eating non-foods for decades, it is important to allow them to seek out actual foods to attempt to rebuild their strength.
I agree with you that the ill should NOT be preyed on. On the other hand, some things that we have not heard if before really can be legit.
A quart of Essiac used to cost $40. A small, brown lunch bag if the dry tea used to cost $15. I have no idea what the costs are now.
We are told that if aspirin were discovered now, it would be marketed with a high price tag.
I favor science but have found that commercial industry is not always the answer. One has to be mindful of actual results. I assume you don't object to people getting good results.
Ads not adds. Unless we give the FDA more power to police the snake oil salesmen we're going to get this.
@@stephenpowstinger733 If you give the FDA the power to do that they will also block legitimate treatments that they do not agree with. The FDA wants this kind of power to protect the pharmaceutical industry- not the public.
Great episode.
