    It’s been almost five years since we asked if you find the human meals on Hannibal appetizing, and honestly, it’s one of those questions that deserves being reupped now that everyone’s on keto and protein is pricey. But could eating human brains destroy your own? Kyle digs into cannibalism (AND WHY YOU SHOULD NOT DO IT) on this episode of Because Science, airing for the first time on the Because Science Channel.

It delves into the Kuru virus, how it could evolve into a zombie virus, the virus;s real world origins and fictional origins and why you would probably survive Dead Island.

    Certain nutrients in brains are actually really beneficial to our own, Phosphatidylserine for example is an essential phospholipid and part of our cell membrane and was collected from cow and pigbrains back in the day, now its produced from soya lecitin and you should definitely supplement with it, really good for adhd patients as well! Cerebrolysin on the other hand is still a drug harvested from brains.

    0:22 OK. Going to stop you here. "One man's toxic waste is another man's potpourri."
    Disgust in the very sense of the word is learning to see something we have been trained to dislike. Certainly there could be physical elements that automatically cause us to retch yet on the whole if we are brought up to accept whatever it is that someone ELSE sees as disgusting - we could certainly see as perfectly normal.
    Take a weird example. Troma videos. Most of them to the average eye are in fact disgusting. Yet the trope is used so often that it is considered a valid comedy outlet and amusing to see when it is used in their films.
    So - eating brains would not be disgusting if our parents and society trained us to believe - it was not - but in fact a vital part of everyday life.

    Actually Chianti doesn't pair well with human liver. In the book he actually said Amarone and not Chianti. Amarone would be a much better fit for liver, and a such shows off his sophistication and further strengthens just how psycho he is - making sure to pair the liver with the proper wine. The movie execs just thought that people wouldn’t know what amarone was, so they switched it out to a wine that everyone would have heard of.

    What causes some members of the tribes to develop the disease after just some weeks whereas others take decades? Answer: the ones who're more resistant to these prions carry a special gene that makes them more resistant to the disease. After these genes were discovered, it was found that... surprise!!! Up to 20% of human population carries that gene, all around the world. Thus, our ancestors most likely had cannibalism as an important part of either their diet or funerary rites, and so there was selective pressure leading to the widespread dissemination of these genes.

    If prions are proteins and proteins denaturate in high temp, woudn't cooking the brain before eating solve this issue?

      Apparently not. Scientists incinerated a prion-infected rat brain, dissolved the ash in solution, and injected it into another rat. The injected rat developed a prion disease.

    So is it bad if someone eats a person but not the brain in a survival situation? I know there are come cases where that’s happened

      You can probably eat everything because what are the odds that the person you eat has a prion disease?

    Of course it is a bad thing. What did you guys expect? Neurons merge together and getting extra neurons? lol
