My brother's friend is a biologist, and I'm pretty sure this was exactly what he was studying around 10 years ago. He got in touch with my brother and asked him to set up a vitamin-enriched bird feeder outside his house and take pictures of the birds over a couple weeks. What they notices was that, just like his hypothesis stated, the birds coats went from a dull grey-ish to sparkling with color, similar to how tropical birds look, except of course this was in Sweden. He claimed that if you look at old paintings, say, from the 1800s - birds are always shining with color, and that that is something we've collectively just passed off as an artistic liberty, but it may in fact be how birds used to look before the Industrial Revolution!
That's cool! I've always thought that we shouldn't feed the wildlife, but if we're truly responsible for diminishing the nutrients in their diet, then we are also responsible for supplementing their diet - and to finally bring back the natural balance. I believe some more research in this area would be very important. The unusual spread of Granbarkborre here in my part of Sweden is perhaps related to this as well. (in addition to the obvious climate change issue which helps spread)
That's nice, but ancient painting do not represent a testable fact. Do birds and people appear brighter and healthier on TV than in reality? Of course they do. Paintings and pictures are inherently idealized.
Also, this story is one step away from a story titled something like "extreme colors in animals produced in response to toxins". See purple pill bugs.
The guilt falls to Glyphosate, a registered antibiotic. As tons of Roundup drench the Earth, which rain carries to the fish, Cyanobacteria and e.coli survive, but beneficial bacteria suffer. Since only bacteria produce thiamine, & many other essential amino acids, we must eliminate the bactericide Glyphosate to recover health.
@@jameso1447 I'm not so sure about that. Naturalistic painting was all the rage from Linnaeus and onward. I think he's referring to a "birdwatchers guide" rather than some dreamy Victorian paradise. see: www.bukowskis.com/en/lots/670603-carl-jacob-sundevall-svenska-foglar-stockholm-1856-71
From what I can tell, they are yellowed and faded at this point. If they are indeed more brightly colored than the coats of modern birds then I think there might be a case. But like I said, more research on that subject would be very cool.
I don’t know about Sweden but here in France it’s simple: industrial agriculture -> pesticides -> no insects -> less birds.
And media and politicians talk only about climate change ...
I don't need to watch horror movies. I get my scares learning about the environment.
What a sad truth
Same.
Yeah that's SciShow's business model *fear harvesting* fortunately most of their videos are either total BS, hyperbole, or speculation presented as fact.
it's waay scarier
@@DanielSMatthews waht-
Missed opportunity for "De-fish-ency"
I was thiamine deficient and later got diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, this deficiency is a serious issue and can cause many health related problems, thanks for making this video and making people aware.
I thought it was weird we didn't treat seafood like stuff we grow - like rotating what fish we eat so populations can rebound.
I'm pretty sure we farm fish
@@savage101. We do farm fish but we also catch them in the wild. People still seem to think that wild-caught fish are better so we continue to way over-fish many species. Even with laws limiting catch size, they’re often ignored. That and some species cannot be farmed easily.
It's weird to me how some fish we eat are apex predators. It's like chomping down on a lion.
@@savage101. Closed cycle farming (ie breeding and raising) isn't possible (yet) for all popular species though, and farmed fish also need to eat something. Usually, farmed fish are fed other fish which just shifts the overfishing burden
@@Curtistopsidae indeed, farmed fish is fed ground up fish that has been taken from the ocean. It really doesn't make any sense.
we really need to shed light more on how harmful fishing industries are.
This data is old but it gives you an idea of who the top fish exploiters are.
1 China 11.5 million tons
2 Peru 8.26 million tons
3 Chile 4.89 million tons
4 Japan 3.96 million tons
5 Russia 3.47 million tons
6 Indonesia 3.41 million tons
Probably double those numbers to account for growth, and illegal fishing, particularly by China.
Tragedy of the commons. There needs to be international treaties and international enforcement over international waters. There are literal slave ships on the open seas because no one will enforce against them.
@@zer0nix
And also China encroaching on international waters and claiming them as their own.
@@DanielSMatthews are ye putting into account the additional animals they slaughter by extra unwanted catches and to get rid of competitors for the fish they want to get?
I've had thiamine deficiency. Very nasty, all my peripheral nervous system died off. Took a year to regrow.
Regrowing nerves is painful.
How did that occur?
@@numberpirate probably didn't eat properly or ate the same food over and over again with no variety. That's just speculation though.
@@numberpirate climate change obviously
@@jatpack3 lol
"Humans are the problem". This seems to be the underlying answer to a lot of issues nowadays. Doh!
Greedy corporations are the problem.
@@gabor6259 run by who?? You guessed it, HUMANS.
Yes but the exponential growth of humans is a taboo unfortunately. They prefer to distract us with climate change
@@sebastienh1100 I agree. We've definitely given natural selection the big shaft, and we certainly let everyone keep breeding beyond replacement value.
Humans are also the solution to a lot of problems. This problem, for example, can be corrected by genetic engineering. The fact that species don't produce all of the amino acids that we need to live is an evolutionary mistake. If we add the genes for *_all of the amino acids,_* then you won't need to eat a "balanced breakfast" anymore. All you'll need are a few trace minerals and an energy source to burn.
P.S.
What is it with humans hating themselves these days? It's decidedly odd behavior. I think you guys are pretty swell... When you're not being completely awful anyway...
I really want you guys to do videos on our impact on the ecosystem more often. I just wish I could afford to pay you for if.
I’ve been doing a $1 a month for a couple years now. :-) it’s what I can afford, but it adds up!
@@micahspruth-janssen3138 if everybody could match that, just imagine what we can do for the good of this planet.
You are so backwards. Environmental alarmism costs you thousands of dollars every year, yet you're sorry that you don't have enough money to pay for this fascist propaganda.
you do not need money to post on youtube
@@jameso1447 You clearly don’t know what fascist means...
Huh. I thought the cause might be the loss of untilled soil rich with mycorrizhae
Also, I had no idea there were plants that produced thiaminase other than mosses. Definitely something to watch out for!
Yes, and I can't help but wonder how much damage pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and other chemicals are causing. It seems like 'climate change' is a waste basket term for everything going wrong, but the earth (and its flora and fauna) have dealt with climate change orders of magnitude higher than this for hundreds of millions of years.
@@adamhorn6392 apparently, the climate change that you're talking about, that happened hundreds of millions of years, were much slower than the rapid effect of what humans have caused. Nature's climate changes constantly and it's part of it's cycle, but human imposed impacts on climate are far threatening considering that other organisms are having a hard time naturally adapting because human activity are adding too much pressure to different ecosystems.
The answer is at 9:55. Thiamine deficiency in CAPTIVE-RAISED fish is due to malnorishment at the fisheries.
Flood 'control' is also a problem, I believe.
Label This 'Tobacco Science' because the guilt falls to Glyphosate, a registered antibiotic. As tons of Roundup drench the Earth, which rain carries to the fish, Cyanobacteria and e.coli survive, but beneficial bacteria suffer. Since only bacteria produce thiamine, & many other essential amino acids, we must eliminate the bactericide Glyphosate to recover health.
@@zacadomike8093 Interesting. That makes much more sense than climate change, given how life appears to have flourished through hundreds of millions of years, including the Thermal Maximum back a ways. And through variations in species.
I wonder if SciShow can do a episode on keystone species such as Wolf, in light of Idaho recently had passed a bill to exterminate them (again) even-though the impact is very small (some 150 farm animal due to wolves killed amount 5 million)...
Wolves are vital for ecosystems, just look at how Yellowstone has improved after adding them
It's cos they herd prey so the prey doesn't destroy the ecosystem
Humans can mimic it with rotational mob grazing too
czcams.com/video/PFMmLr7pYnQ/video.html
1:34 I've heard of Thiamine before because you have to watch what fish you feed your snakes, as some of them can stop them absorbing it and give your snakes a thiamine deficiency. (And if you're thinking "don't snakes just eat rodents?" yes, most do, but some like Garters can eat fish.)
Goldfish are also rich in thiaminase. They are not naturally in US waters- but are there now from people releasing their pet goldfish thinking it would be good for the fish. It's crazy to see
czcams.com/video/PFMmLr7pYnQ/video.html
_"Why is nature so deficient in Thiamine?"_
"Is is it climate change?"
_"Research points to humans being the problem."_
"It's climate change."
_"Climate change causes stratification in our oceans, which..."_
10:41 Wow that tractor is flying.
czcams.com/video/PFMmLr7pYnQ/video.html
I watch snake discovery and they always say "buy thiaminase free feeder fish"
I also follow this channel, and I thought about it too. 🙂
Like when they got all those goldfi- *ahem* carp for feeders. Yeah thiaminase really messes up a lot of metabolism
czcams.com/video/PFMmLr7pYnQ/video.html
Please consider doing a video on permaculture.
Yeah like how you could scale it to meet the needs of even 25% of humanity. Zero chance of them doing that in an honest and comprehensive way.
As much as I like permaculture, there just hasn't been a lot of research on it.
@@Rasgonras That is true, if you mean rigourous, repeatable, peer reviewed science.
@@DanielSMatthews Replace lawns with food forests that require little to no maintenance. You can include enough biodiversity to produce more food than a single family can eat throughout the growing seasons. Of course this won't meet all our needs but small local farms can easily meet the rest. If people become more self sufficient it cuts out huge problems causing climate change. The only time people should _need_ the grocery store is during winter.
Can I get a citation on your claim that it can't even feed 25% of humanity? I also find it funny that you mention "honest and comprehensive way" like our current system isn't corrupt, overly complex and full of waste.
@@Rasgonras Permaculture has been around since 1976. Thousands of people have done their own experiments and documented their results.
More so, there has been a lot of research about soil science, plant health, mycelium networks, etc, and all those finding just support what permaculture has been saying for 50 years.
I have heard of thiamine before, and not from a human health supplement LOL! For the first time in fornever, I learned about the importance of a specific chemical from a channel that wasn’t Scishow! I learned about Thiamine from the CZcams channel Snake Discovery and their video about neurological disorders in garter snakes, which are a type of snake that can survive on not a rodent diet, but instead a fish diet!
The video (among others) is called How to Prevent & Help Neurological Issues in Snakes, in case you wanted to know 😉

Ah, another Snake Discovery fan. :)
It's interesting that the reasons are so different yet feed into the same effect. Makes me wonder if there's some chemical/thermodynamic sensitivity to thiamine like the respiration-photosynthesis balance that gets worse with rising temperatures.

"Some experts thing that this is evidence that something much bigger is going on." Has anyone checked the volcanos for evil lairs?

What an insightful video. Stuff like this needs to be more widely talked about.
Bacteria in the gut are another source of thiamine and other vitamins. Most of the antibiotics used by human ends in sewer systems, and much of that is dumped into waterways or into the sea. An even greater mass of antibiotics is used in cattle, swine, poultry and even salmon farming. The antibiotics may be causing alterations in the comensal bacteria of the lower digestive systems of these animals, causing a loss of vitamin producing bacterial species.
Almost nobody uses antibiotics for personal use. It's almost all in battery farming.
Is there anything we are actually doing right or sustainably currently? Like anywhere on earth at all? I need some hope lol
No
Norway & China EVs. Renewables built around the 🌎. Just need MORE
[YT has a bot that deletes factual comments]
Look into permaculture. It's really the only thing that has given me hope.
You there isn't really agreed upon definition of right. So idk... But I think that social stuff is overall getting better, though slowly. More tangible stuff like research is going in the right direction. I really like the simple yet incredibly useful tech people have developed for places without infrastructure. So there's some good...
@@PaleGhost69 and cob houses/earth ships, although the designs on some of them aren't all aesthetically there for most people to invest in one (yet). The traditional homes we live in today, all the concrete, paint, dry wall and insulation, is incredibly polluting.

In High School biology, I looked at the Human population, and the Fruit Flies in the Test Tube experiment, and realized: Bell Curves have two sides.
Can you elaborate
@@ogpd4898 a test tube is curved at the bottom.
Fruit flies in the test tube are on one side of the "bell" end, think of it as a U filled with flies, now think of it as an n with people piled around the top curve.
We have our planet filled with people, much like a test tube of fruit flies, we are small, insignificant in the long run of time, and we have no knowledge of who or what controls the conditions in this test tube.
@@ogpd4898 Hrp Drp is close. A "Bell Curve" is something used in Statistics to describe something that goes up, then down, a picture that looks like a profile of a "Bell" of the Hand Ringing variety, sitting on a table.
In reference to population, it is often used to describe a "Boom and Bust" situation.
That's what happens to the Fruit Flies in a test tube. We introduce a few, with a Food medium in the bottom of the tube, and then track their population growth. It spikes. And then collapses. After a while, there were so many Fruit Flies in the Test Tube that:
They pooped their food into poison.
@@TimeSurfer206 how does that relate to humans? Is our population going through a bell curve? Are we at the top? Does that mean we are about to bust?(not sexually)
@@ogpd4898 Maybe. One of the hardest things there is to do, though, is predict the crest of a Bell Curve with accuracy, especially when we're riding it. After all, some New Tech could leap up and Save Us All.
Great video. This channel hardly ever disappoints.
Fantastic video as always, thank you again Scishow team!
I wonder if there is ever going to be a video about a bad thing that's happening that isn't humanity's fault.
It can’t be a bad thing if it’s nature...cuz then it’s natural
A nearby lake where I live drained like a bathtub from a sinkhole opening up (karst topography). I was angry at the dead turtles, but it wasn't people's fault.
Nature is kinda cruel. Animals freeze every winter, and alot of them eat their prey alive. But, its our speed of destruction/harm thats terrifying.
That wouldn't make for very good clickbait, unless it was aliens.
If that's what you're looking for, Kurzgesagt is more likely the channel for you. Also I may have spelled that wrong. While "Humans did a bad" does like to appear, I can definitely think of at least one _recent_ video that could be considered about a bad thing that is not humanity's fault- hell, it's been going on since before earth formed.
Comprehensive and informative video! :)
For domestic waterfowl their food pellets are supplemented with B vitamins (probably including thiamine) to help prevent lameness. This is in addition to their legs generally being weaker and more prone to ligament damage than dry fowl.
fyi
even though it's spelled Chinook....it's pronounced with an *"SH"* sound...as in Shinook
yeah... I blame the French.
I know the word comes from the Aboriginal peoples... _still though..._
@@Gulgathydra It ain't abo it's American native.
@@pepesylvia848
_Chinook_ as a term is used in Canada, and there they prefer First Nation, Aboriginal, Inuit, Innuvik, or Native, depending on the region or tribe.
But none of them are offended when the term Aboriginal is used, I can't say the same about any of the other terms.
If you say the Chinook people prefer American Native I'll take your word for it.
But I doubt the salmon have a preference.
@@Gulgathydra that's cool, but outside of the textbooks, the term aboriginal only refers to Australian natives, who are the farthest thing from American by any stretch of the imagination.
@@pepesylvia848
When did I reference textbooks? (Although, to be transparent, I *did* take a course on First Nations peoples, and the term Aboriginal People was used in course materials. Many Northern indigenous tribes use it.)
I was referencing my actual interactions with actual people. In some parts of Canada, Metis people are more tolerant of the term _aboriginal_ than they are of the term _native_ (Metis are the descendants of French/Native half-breeds... kind of a shameful branch of the proud native family).

Throwing up a comment for the algorithm. As essential as these videos are, they’re throwing a lot of stress to me just because I can’t see how things can be improved. A lot of the problems are something that the big industries need to change to help fix, and they won’t because it’s much easier to let a problem fester for short term profit than to spend tons of money to fix it long term.
Are we entirely sure that the world didn’t really end in 2012, very slowly? (mostly joking there)

Nice that you are talking about this issue. It is a huge problem in Scandinavia.
It’s a defensive mechanism essentially - as oxygen levels dip (we are eating up the free oxygen as we form CO2 and kill all photosynthesizing capacity), naturally the Cyanobacteria, the original oxygen producers, take over and begin to heal things at a foundational level. We’ve essentially hit reset with our actions ecosystemically.

Wave powered bouys that compress air and sends it down long lines to deeper water and release a bubble stream. The bubble stream drags cold, nutrient rich water up from the depths and makes it available to surface life. This promotes plankton growth that in turn feeds an entire food web. The bubbles could also oxygenate the water in places where dissolved oxygen is low.
Mass producing these bouys, anchoring them off the coast and servicing them would also employ a lot of people and could be payed for by taxing large purchases of marine diesel so that large fisheries and shipping pay most of it.

crap. now I'm depressed again.
i would try making floating plant pods with some plants bugs like to eat, plants that produce the vitamin they need and hopefully some of those bugs that eat the plants will end up in the water and the fish will eat them re-distributing the vitamin into the food chain.

If you had thiamine deficiency maybe you wouldn't because your brain cells didn't get enough fuel!
@@MB-yf4lt Well put, Thiamin plays a key role in the maintenance of brain function. Thiamin diphosphate is cofactor for several enzymes involved in glucose metabolism whereas thiamin triphosphate has distinct properties at the neuronal membrane. Thiamin metabolism in the brain is compartmented between neurons and neighbouring glial cells.

The vast majority of people are too cowardly and weak to change their habits. We desperately need to stop producing petroleum products and animal agriculture. People will literally threaten your life over bacon if you ask them politely to have a salad instead. That's the state of things. Infinite selfishness. Until we have a society that stigmatizes selfishness instead of glorifying it for a dollar, nothing will improve.
@@Psychentist i know this wasn't the point of your comment but salads are so good, i could trade out bacon for salad (or literally like anything else nutritional) and i'd be happy
@@Psychentist I don't entirely disagree, but the changes need to come from higher up. The right choice needs to become the easy choice.
Me after Watching The Video: Google Thaimine Rich Food.
Google : Huh Finally We Got An Intelligent Bug 😜
Lol
Can we just end humanity?
We're working on it already
No! Quit being negative
@@babecat2000 But staying positive and optimistic is soooo haaaarrrrdddd!

Hopefully we can fix these problems AND all these underlying anthropogenic causes. Great work as always!
You mean you will not have any children?
I’ve always wondered something similar with out crops. If humans are constantly tossing organic matter from plants(rotten produce, peels, etc.) into the trash then landfills, won’t it eventually cause deficiencies in the soil.
This makes me want to not have children. I'd be sparing them from this hell.
One huge solution to many of our problems would be to encourage lower birth rates and a stable sustainable human population.
It is actually total opposite because of population getting older.
Which means that more people are going to take money (out of budget) than people giving money to budget, which is bad AF.

1:15 *pretends to be shocked*
I knew it
It is all our Fault but most People doesn't care
I really hate Humans
So you hate yourself
@@ImieNazwiskoOK I do very much for Nature
@@e.v.k.3632 Then why you say you hate humans?
And what exactly?
@@e.v.k.3632 quit hating it doesn't help.
Our species is so selfish
Like literally everything else on this planet.
@@DarthBiomech yea but we have the intelligence to realize the consequences and choose not to care. That makes humans worse
@House Phone what you just said are double standards
@@ImieNazwiskoOK how?
@@housephone9090 But that's the thing, we're incapable of realizing the consequences. That's why we're in this mess to begin with. Humans cannot think far ahead or too globally. Hindsight is 10/10 though.
seeing this video recommended reminded me to take my vitamin supplement
thanks
Watch the 2021 documentary "Seaspiracy" for more info on overfishing. Very sad what's going on with the fishing industry
1st?
Yes
Correct!
Summon
You are the 1st
If you wanted another reason to hate humanity, here you go
The irony is many ppl aren't stupid. Just too many are. Good thing reality is NOT for dummies (refer to the many extinct species of the past)
[YT has a bot that deletes factual comments]
@@CHIEF_420 man what
Why thank you! I appreciate the reinforcement of my world view!
I hate you
Quit human hating it doesn't help.
No mentions of the whale iron thing?
Buen video y trabajo, me pregunto si kurzgesagt podría hacer video largo de esto pues esta como el problema del plástico en los océanos y podría estar relacionado como causar el plástico otros problemas futuros como este de tía mina, saludos.
More like the corporations are doing this, but we all know billionaires like to keep the good stuff to themselves and the problems to everyone else.
Well people treat fishing as a sport
@@Critical-N but the problem is overfishing, and that's on the corporations
Ain't we humans amazing?
Yes. All of nature is destructive, but humans are the only product of nature that produces those that go out of their way to relieve suffering of others, even when those others are not of the same species. Without modern humans, all conscious life is suffering.
Ocean currents could play a big part
Grew up in Chicago... Wow didn't know the fish I was getting was bad..
So I've read that mentioned a few times here - that thiamine deficiency can cause neural disorders... which makes me wonder, considering that psychological disorders and syndromes are on the rise - especially in Western nations - and increasingly in children (think ADHS and autism for example) and we KNOW that our veggies are becoming less and less rich in nutrients and we also KNOW that many people don't eat right (think convenience meals, cheap white bread, skim milk and eggs from unhappy animals etc.) or aren't fed right by their parents becaues they don't know better or they can't afford better food or they don't care and we can also observe that pregnant women are increasingly less healthy, often paired with cincreasingly omplex co-morbidities like gestational diabetes etc. - and obviously, deficient mothers have deficient kids... makes me wonder, could there be a link? Are we all slowly drifting into insanity as the world around us falls into shambles?
Glad I can add worldwide vitamin deficiency to my apocalypse bingo card. T_T
(but yeah at least we’ve realized its happening so we can start to fix it)
@Abhinavv Arora I don't know; we fixed the hole in the ozone layer, we've eradicated diseases before, and in the US we successfully got DDT banned and have successfully helped the environment recover from its use. A lot of bad things have happened, but we've solved problems that seemed too big and impossible before.
If they are sick of Thiaminase , maybe we should try giving them some Thiaminetchup?
what ways how you want to clean ground water?:D
Also, higher CO2 in the air means plants are growing faster but taking the same amount of nutrients, thus becoming less nutritious to eat.
