Another fun fact, you can turn turmeric from orange to red by putting it in an alkaline solution that basically extends the length of the molecule and makes it absorb more light. COOL STUFF.
Thos would make such a fun chemistry class!
Agreed
Hi! As far as the many comments about a second video... Just wanted to say please just let it be a whole series! Go one by one down the rainbow and more in depth, if you could! That would be awesome
Is it true that quercetin also helps reduce allergy symptoms? I seem to remember reading that somewhere, and also that apples, pears, onions & bananas are supposedly good sources of it. Have you come across anything that says that, or that would either confirm, or dispel, that? 😯❓🍎🍐🤷🏻♀️🧅🍌❓😯
Is Cauliflower part of the rainbow? I love eatihg it.
I have a theory about a possible instinctual attraction to decorated Christmas trees, that it triggers the deep ancestral attraction to a tree with ripe fruit( decorations especially red colored ball shapes) in the middle of winter ( a time of food scarcity).
Me: haha tree pretty
Wow that's brilliant. I believe it
Fascinating theory! I like where your mind’s going. Maybe that explains why we can’t seem to take the trees down after Christmas.
@@Jaidorade thanks!
WOWWW I think you are spot on. It's like how after testing variations the ideal human landscape has mountains in the background, plains, a water source, the edge of a forest, and a tree with a low hanging branch to run up and away from predators.
In high school, I had an English teacher who refused to eat blue M&Ms, because she said blue doesn't occur naturally in food. Students would always point out 'blueberries' and she argued that they're more purple than blue, which I agree, but I think the funniest thing was arguing the 'natural' angle, while eating manufactured, dyed sugar garbage 😆
Do a part 2 of this please. There’s so much info you’re dying to give us and we would love to learn more. These kinds of videos are really fascinating. This truly underlines the phrase ‘Eat The Rainbow’.
Yay photochemicals!
The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 🔥
Yes a part 2 would be a good idea.
I second this
Love blueberries and dark cherries together. I eat them frozen every morning with sprouted seeds(hemp,pumpkin,sunflower) on top along with some Ceylon cinnamon.
Yummy
Same! I blend all those together with some dark cocoa powder, so good!!
Fascinating! So happy I am vegan and filling my shopping cart full of various plants.
This video motivates me to eat more colorful and a bigger color variety of fruits and vegetables while avoiding the attractive colors of potato chip packaging and see through the strategies of unhealthy snacks packaging and the truth behind my attraction of colors in relation to foods. Good job!
lol
I LOVED your explanation of how the different colors come to be in the beginning! You really broke it down so well ☺️
Good video. Added it to my playlist for future watching.🌱🍊🍌
Love this, I’m an oil painter, a former biology teacher, and a vegan so you are speaking my language! Interesting that the anthocyanidins seem to be named after flowers. Also I like that your shirt suggests a classic color-blindness test haha.
This is why it pays to eat the whole rainbow from fruits and vegetables.
This is also why it's a good idea in general to eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. I'll bet that virtually every fruit and vegetable has at least one unique phytonutrient, most of which are not well known.
Great video! The chemistry was easy to follow and accurate. I think I will show my chemistry students this video :)
I've been taking liquid chlorophyll 5 days a week for the past 2ish months. I love it. I feel like even taken internally it helps my skin look nicer. It also gives me a little bit of steady energy.
Might be TMI but I've wondered how much gets absorbed whe. It makes your bowel movement green lol... maybe a whole video on chlorophyll would be interesting 🤔
Love to learn a lot from Mic!!
Was great to see you at the campout, please post the vid!
I’d love to learn more about this, so interesting! Thanks for the video 🙏
thanks so much for making this! really cool information
Great topic! Appreciated both the health benefits discussion and the chemistry aspects.
Really great video!! This was super interesting!!!
Love orange beets!
Purple are also great
Love this video, great work!
Thanks Justin and Mic🎤 great idea for a video! Anthocyanin has changed my life!
I was commenting just the other day that food ads are more likely to include a rainbow of fruit and veg because that is much more visually appealing than cooked animal flesh so this was super interesting today. Thank you.
Another interesting & informative video from Mic. Since I have a interest in plant biology it was great to learn this information. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Mic.
Awesome Video!!
Thank you!!
Fascinating info Mike!!
Thanks for another great video!
Just big thank you you wonderful person!😁
The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 🔥
I watch this video like once a week to inspire me to eat the rainbow. As an autistic person who only really likes green and white foods
Your channel has always been informative and enjoyable.
I'm from Barcelona! Hope u enjoy it :)
Good video. Very interesting!!
The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 🔥
My son was in Barcelona in July. He's an artist, and he fell in love with Barcelona!
I find it incredible that it is actually the same phytochemicals that bring the color and are beneficial for health !
I wonder if it's another exemple that nature is just beautifully coherent, or a result of evolution that we can see what is beneficial/dangerous for us.
Bro this video is really incredible.
I saw it before but I don't think I really took it in.
Thank you fr for taking the time and gifting the world with this knowledge.
Very interesting topic, thanks!
The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 🔥
MIC THIS IS REALLY USEFUL THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN :)
I LOVED this video!!!! So cool! I had no idea that the different chains caused the different colors. Fascinating.
Interesting! Thanks!
Great information Mic... please do more!!👍💪🙌♥️
Good stuff, brother.
Excellent ... One of the most important Nutrition Videos on CZcams!
Another great video - and thanks for all the info! Plant foods rock!
Great video! Love to see a video on Chlorella.
The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 🔥
Thanks Mic!
And enjoy beautiful Catalunya!
Best video in a video awhile!
Damn i need to increase the variety of my veggies and fruit
The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 🔥
Barcelona! Que guay! Patatas bravas es mi plato preferido de Barcelona que también es vegano :)
Red#6 must be real good for us!
For the blue pigment, there is Rutin. Found in violets ( viola odorata). Thanks for making this video, I was waiting for this one. Do another one!
feel free to do a series if there's more going on you'd like to cover
regards from Brazil here!!
Part 2 please!!!
Interesting stuff...
Your background here looks exactly like that in the video of Lin Manuel Miranda hearing the Hamilton Polka for the first time. Thank you for sharing where that was! It made me really curious.
I did panic about 3 minutes in because I thought there might be a pop quiz at the end; when I remembered that it was just Mic sharing his awesome discoveries, I relaxed and enjoyed.
I love listening to you
Can you PLEASE do another video getting into the chemistry? :) IM SO EXCITED LEARNING ABOUT IT, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING VIDEO MIC!
You should do a part 2!
Can you do a video on each of the different groups? I would love to watch one that goes in depth. Also, can you do a video that shows nutrients found in plants that cannot be found in meat or eggs or dairy. I have friends that actually think that vegans are usually malnourished. One friend exclusively ate meat and then was shocked that she was suffering from multiple deficiencies and didn't feel well.
For a split second when I saw the thumbnail, I thought you were going to talk about Chakras lol
Autumn olive berries, also called silverberries, are an introduced species here in the United States, but the birds love them, and have 24* the lycopene of tomatoes
Green & Gold, Never Gets Old.
Born and raised un Barcelona. Love the vídeo even if It is just got that ❤️
Yes, video of VCO, please :-)
Red foods don't absorb red light, they absorb the blue portion of the light hence it appearing red.
Actually, they absorb every color except red.
Cool 😄😊
Maybe Skittles were onto something after all. "Taste the rainbow", just do it with lush fruit and veg, instead of different coloured bits of sugar 😅😛😜
Part 2!!!
Raspberries are my weakness.
Very nice. But does Mike know that his tomato is green?
I think a beautiful Buddha bowl with many different colors is the best thing eva.
Are there cookbooks based around this idea?
7:16 You forgot to include sorghum grains as one of the highest food sources of proanthocyanidins.
im learning so much, but I dont remember anything ;) Anyway eat the rainbow :)
Could you do a video on oxalates? Phytoestrogens and men's health?
I wonder if these colors affect the taste, because I find that the ribs from beet greens and Swiss chard taste very similar…
Bless plant food 💛💜💛❤ !!!
By the way, Chlorella and spirulina are some of the food's highest in chlorophyll, much higher than the others on your list
You have a brother? Do a vlog in Barcelona!
Great info, I'm going to share. Gotta eat your fruit & veggies.
Yellow beets and yellow-stemmed chard (basically leafy beets) are also ridiculously rich in betaxanthins. Beta literally means beet, that's where the name came from. Betacyanins are beet blues and betaxanthins are beet yellows.
would that be ocd to organise my garden by fruit/veggie color ? :) Interesting that many of the old medicine often treated problems with food color. "eat red to prevent x" or eat a little bit of each color, even though they had no idea about the chemistry behind it.
Don't forget HISBISCUS tea which has anthocyanins
*Me, a chemist* this is the best video *me, someone who appreciates kitchens* that is a very nice kitchen 🤣
Wow, I must be immortal 🌱🌱🌱
quercetin is also senolytic
In some fruits the color of the skin is different from the color of the flesh. For example, egg plant has purple skin cream flesh. Banana has yellow skin cream flesh. So, what us the color of the fruit?
Barcelona… nice city.
Bananas. We typically consume the colorless interior, so am guessing the benefits are not the same as the other yellow fruits, yes?
My feet and hands are both orange from eating so many sweet potatoes.
I eat purple, red, white and orange sweet potatoes everyday. My Dr Said not harmful just pigment
How many do you eat?
Yeah, you can also get a yellow nose from eating caranoids.
None of this unhealthy.
The vegan double rainbow diet is great and easy. Get 2 servings of each color every day.
Barcelona? Let’s have a sweepstake to see how many hours into your visit your phone gets nicked.
I've heard people talking about some negative affects of antioxidants - I think it was in reference to people with cancer, or undergoing treatment for cancer. And I think I've also heard it mentioned in relation to exercise recover (that might have been related to timing). I don't know anything about this, but if someone does I'd like to hear it. Can they be harmful or not beneficial to some people some times? Or are they always good?
One hypothesis I have is that antioxidants (that reduce oxidative stress) may lower inflammation in the body. Inflammation, not to be confused with infection, is basically a response from the body's own immune system. Short periods of inflammation are important, e.g. during an infection to fight off invaders. But *chronic* inflammation is usually bad & should be lowered.
In the case of cancer though, lowering the activity of our immune system could be counterproductive. Immune cells may have a harder time finding and fighting tumors...I'm honestly just freeballing here but I think balance is always key. You may want inflammation during infections or perhaps even when fighting cancer...but not too much or your body kills you instead (e.g. high fevers -> coagulate body's proteins = baaad). Same with allergies, which cause inflammation symptoms basaed on harmless things, which sometimes kills you.
Edited to add just cause I like writing too much lol but i thought of the fact that many treatments of cancer tend to be more rough than the disease itself. Most known characteristics of people wqith cancer has more to do with radiation or chemotherapy...lost hair, weakness, nausea. In a book I read the author thought he felt the worst right after treatment, slowly got better right up until the next dreadeda appointment and then went right back to feeling horrible. So the treatment for cancer itself is bascially "poison the body as much as possible without killing it"...which is the opposite of what you want to do with a healthy body. Hence antioxidants are usually gooda but may work against cancer treatments.
Welcome in Barcelona!
If you need suggestions about vegan restaurants, I can help you.
💪💚
I do not have a primate ancestry. My ancestry comes from FATHER GOD and his HOLY son JESUS CHRIST and GOD the HOLY Spirit! I do totally agree with you about the necessity to eat a variety of vegetables especially dark leafy greens because this was our original diet before the fall of Man.
What about edible flowers and their pigments?
I want to get the yellow thing in my eyes, I need more yellow stuff :X
Is this a joke? That tomato is green!!
It’s a heritage tomato.
Thanks for this interesting information! I wonder if anthrocyanins are purple people? Lol. I know he corrected himself, but that's what I thought of when I heard it. Lol.
0:10 Shows a green tomato instead to keep you on your (toma) toes
