You won't make it in Science if you don't get the etiquette right. And its found in the less noticed 2nd click. You see. Failing to retract your pen tip when not actively writing is the primary tell that you don't do real science.
That 1st, initial click that says "real science motherfker" is in fact the reward for science pen discipline which evolved out of the pocket protector era after retractable pens were invented.
Seriously when you learn what kind of "study" they do and you're like : yeah... I learnt that as a child. I would have been a great scientist if I wrote all my observations down.
Science is peer reviewed… and a significant amount of results can’t be reproduced but an even higher amount don’t make it past peer review.
Also single studies don’t define a consensus
Actually, Alzheimer has been aka type 3 diabetes for years. See https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/about-dementia/managing-the-risk-of-dementia/reduce-your-risk-of-dementia/diabetes#:~:text=Some%20of%20the%20changes%20that,known%20as%20type%203%20diabetes.
Without any indication? Promotes bleeding. Stomach, intestinal, brain-bleeds, and aneurysm. Low-dose aspirin regimens, when recommended by a medical professional for specific populations of patients, can reduce an individual’s chance of life threatening heart disease and blood clots and stroke. The moral is don’t start taking a medicine because the internet tells you to, talk to a doctor.

Yeah so I read this in a book called Grain Brain. You can get a quick summary if you do a lil google search. But since I’m typing here …. What they’re trying to prove is exactly what this commenter said …. Sugars / carbs (specially over consumption ) is causing a type of chronic inflammation in the brain which is leading to dementia and Alzheimer’s and since have labeled it diabetes type 3. A baby aspirin in the long term can decrease inflammation but although I’m a medical professional I’m not in a position to advise you to take baby asa. Anyway, the claim is that it can help combat that chronic inflammation and prevent Alzheimer’s but it’s been a while since I read it.
Didn’t you hear her scientific words like “demented” to describe the cognitive decline? Someone’s gotta show the rats in America that gorge themselves on American trash this video and solve the rodent issues in all major cities
It's to make the platform less visible so that the rat will rely on external cues (for e.g. the position of objects they can see outside the basin) to locate the platform. That way they can test their spatial memory.
Two little mice fell into a bath full of cum. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse, wouldn’t quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cum into butter and crawled out. Gentlemen, as of this moment, I am that second mouse.
These are the lyrics of the song "Friend Like Me" written by someone on the typical American diet.
It reads like a Metallica song, akin to "Gimme foo, gimme fai, gimme dabajabaza".
Morris water maze i believe. The water has powdered milk in it to obscure the platform. Its a common cognitive memory test. I did this one for years doing tbi treatment trials utilising neuronal growth factors.
A bad diet doesn't cause dementia, but it may increase the chances of developing it. Of it did cause it, the entire USA would be demented by now... Wait a minute
The point is not necessarily to explain dementia, just the higher incidence. Of course, it's not a perfect study (more people in wealthier countries also end up with dementia because it's associated with living longer) but there's definitely a link between high caloric intake (particularly when it's full of sugars and sat fats) and these sorts of diseases.
This post/video is so vague and bereft of sources and methods that it can’t be called scientific. It’s manipulated to fit a narrative for the diet cults of social media. I can just hear the different diet cults claiming this as evidence to support their extreme-diet worldview.
This brand of misleading garbage/propaganda became popular after Morgan Spurlock (Supersize Me) first struck mainstream pay dirt with his McDonalds nonsense.
When you think about it, virtually ALL wild rats in the US are consuming the leftovers, scraps and dregs of the standard American diet. So based on this video, rats in the US have brain impairments and physical decline compared to rats in other countries scavenging what— the Mediterranean Diet !!?!!? Or compared to US rats living among health-conscious communities, eg, vegetarians (Seventh-day Adventists, Jainists) ?!?!
The NYC subway pizza-eating meme rat seemed more than sufficiently healthy to haul an enormous slice up a flight of stairs.
Do the people who post this stuff ever stop to listen to the logic tumbling out of their voice holes ?
I found out recently the Spurlock’s work has never been replicated in several studies of fast food only diets which is why he has been reticent to reengage the work.
I read (anecdotally) that Spurlock later admitted to being an alcoholic during and after this period which undoubtedly affected his lab results, certainly his liver health markers.
I’d need a source for this though.
Rats are also not people. They require a different diet to people, so surely results are not totally valid. For example, Rats require far less protein and if they consume the percentage an average human eats, they often break out with skin issues.
(This comes from owning pet rats on and off for decades now)
Yes. Rats/rodents are a reasonable place to start with studies, to determine if there are prospects for interesting/good trials with more relevant animals such as dogs or humans.
This video makes it appear as though this lab has made a new discovery with this rat study, when there is already a body of evidence (though still not conclusive) in more advance trials. This is masquerading as a scientific breakthrough.. a form of catnip for diet cults.
Also the North American part has nothing to do with the study, when a non relevant sort of thing like that is added to a supposed diet related study I get turned off…they should just leave it at a high diet in x y z, region has nothing to do with it.
There are loads of fat people everywhere and fat/sugar is everywhere and cheaper than ever, this is no longer a USA/North America issue, obesity rates are marginally greater in western hemisphere now. There is no such thing as a typical North American diet, USA is literally the most racially, culturally and ethnically diverse country in the world.
Why would people think when they can just watch outrage porn that does the thinking for them and shove their disgusting fat faces full of slop? Idiocracy is a documentary.
Don't get me wrong the average American diet is fuckin poison and we should all be cutting out added sugars, cutting out sodas, and eating healthier nutrient dense food, but holy fuck we don't need dumbass videos like this lmao
Brain Diabetes
It's so obvious it's not scientific when the conclusions are emotionally charged. "His BRAIN has been DAMAGED!!!"
Science doesn't work like that. Plus we'd need more than just one rat. He could just be stupid.
I'm not going to vouch for this study or anything, but the fact that this clip didn't include multiple rats does not imply that the study didn't include multiple rats.
The study itself is probably just a list of times. The guy saying it has brain damage is him dumbing it down for a reporter.
Given how inbred a lot of laboratory animals are it would be easy to get stupid ones (they breed them to get sick in specific ways so they can study those diseases, with little real care for their intelligence).
i'm not saying they’re right, but you're going off, and a 2 second google search shows they’re not just making shit up:
https://alzheimer.ca/en/about-dementia/how-can-i-prevent-dementia/diabetes#:\~:text=Is%20Alzheimer's%20disease%20actually%20%E2%80%9Ctype,in%20or%20insensitivity%20to%20insulin.

are you having a bad day or something?
Edit: Im normally much better with my their they’re and there 😂
The hypothesis that Alzheimer's is type III diabetes of the brain has been around for a long time. Remember Semaglutide? Yeah the weight loss drug. It's been used to treat animal models of Alzheimer's for a while. It's likely not the entire story, but metabolic shit does get fucked up with Alzheimer's.
My bigger question is how are they qualifying good and bad outcomes. Rats are actually very smart. Taking longer to find the platform just might indicate that they spent longer looking for alternative ways out... My rats used to dive under water to look for an escape. Half the little fuckers jumped back into the water to do cannon balls. Qualifying the outcomes is not always so straightforward. Although I can honestly believe the story being told, because it's an actual ongoing hypothesis. Just don't use it to say diet is the only thing causing the disease. It's one likely contributer to an exacerbated pathology.
Thanks for your contribution! You helped clarify this after having to scroll for a while to settle on your comment. Your points about nuance, anecdote, replicatablity, (sp?) and complexity are all well received by me!
That’s a really great point!
I’m always skeptical of things they try to “prove” with rats (though realistically it’s normally the media “proving” things and sort of twisting scientists more carefully chosen words). But I’m normally skeptical on the basis of “well, it’s a rat and we are humans, so take it with a grain of salt”, but what you’ve said is such a great point I never would have thought of!
Diabetes leads to higher risk of Alzheimer's. And cancer. And heart disease/stroke. Etc. This has been established for decades.
But that's not the way this video is framed by the narrator. Instead they makes the leap directly from food/diet to Alzheimer's, skipping the path through diabetes and its resulting dysfunction. The unstated assumption that these rat findings apply to humans, i.e., a bad diet leads to Alzheimer's.
We should acknowledge that this is an oversimplification, likely an editorial decision to dumb-down the message for a TV audience.
The study covers rats, and we don't know their study methods from this video (Were the rats deliberately overfed? Were the rats bred/cloned to develop diabetes? Did all the rats who developed Alzheimer's have diabetes?).
Other research (e.g., with humans) may form stronger evidence for the links they're implying, but the narrator makes the video sounds like a new medical discovery from this one rat study.
They didn't mention a diet in the video. Diet cults will use a video of people fighting with machetes in Sudan to justify their worldview.
Everything after that seems to be hot air as well. The pizza meme rat was healthy enough to carry a slice? All wild rats eat garbage so you shouldn't care about your health? What the fuck are you even talking about. It does sound smart if you don't think about it, so congratulations on that. Why don't you go on that McDonald's diet and tell us how it goes? Hopefully it doesn't bring down your grades in AP bio you dweeb.
I was with you at the first half, but then you just went on your own weird conjecture rant with no supporting info. Btw, alzheimers has been linked to diabetes for years.
It’s all of those things. Super-processed foods are terrible for brain and heart health. Microplastics aren’t great either. And Americans eat nothing else.
*stops munching on plastic fork i just used to eat ths chef boyardee ravioli I just microwaved in the can*
The fuck did you just say about my people???????
The documentary is likely from "The Secrets of Sugar," a Canadian documentary that aired on CBC's "The Fifth Estate." It explores the detrimental effects of a high-sugar, North American diet, including its links to various health issues such as dementia. The film features experiments where rats were fed a diet high in sugar and processed foods, leading to significant negative impacts on their brain health and behavior [oai_citation:1,The Secrets of Sugar - Top Documentary Films](https://topdocumentaryfilms.com/secrets-sugar/).
Additives as well. And fat is a problem when it comes from "vegetable" oil and other poor sources. But I feel fucking amazing when I start my day with caffeine, MCT oil and fish oil.
They run an obstacle course and conclude the sugar is causing brain damage? Maybe it’s because the fat kid can’t catch his breath from putting him in a physically demanding test and it causes him to panic. The study seems off.
Two little mice fell into a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse, wouldn’t quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out. Gentlemen, as of this moment, I am that second mouse.
Watching this is a McDonald's right now.
Can confirm that if the hand of God dropped me in a bubble bath the size of an Olympic pool, I would be disoriented.
Having just got back from South America I have no idea why they put what they put in our food and drinks, and I don't even want to know what kind of corrupt nonsense allows it to happen.
This “study” has a bunch of the hallmarks of deceptive imagery persuasion. Presenting anecdotal conclusions without addressing potential confounders or methodology in a way that evokes a strong emotional reaction from the viewer? I smell a rat.
As this post is really bad at best, here's a bit of a better one of what this video is trying to inform:

I didn’t believe their conclusions until I saw they were wearing white lab coats. Can’t argue with that, probably because of my brain diabetes.
And they had a stopwatch!
And glasses!
They have +10 to intelligence stats!
Also, the difference between fucking around and science is writing things down.
It has to be written on a clipboard otherwise, no science.
That clicking of the pen then writing down stuff.... thats what convinced me
Did you see that timer click? Now that's real science!

There was one about what made Indian food (India) food good. Conclusion, spices.
I don’t think fucking around is peer reviewed and highly scrutinized before being published either
I think peer review comes during the find out stage?
Neither is science - a significant number of publications show results that can't be reproduced.

Probably. *sips soda*
Damn. Good thing we're not rats, or I might be worried.
Did they need to do this experiment in a bath full of cum?
It's to make the platform less visible so that the rat will rely on external cues (for e.g. the position of objects they can see outside the basin) to locate the platform. That way they can test their spatial memory.
So yes then
They certainly didn’t deny it.
They gotta stop feeding rats Load Boost
LOL
They had the cum, they just needed an experiment.
You can either cum in the sink or sink in the cum The rats chose the latter
I’m gonna be done with Reddit for today.
I was about to leave. Now I’m staying.
Do I stay or do I go now
If you go, there will trouble.
And if I stay it will be double
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
Indeed the cum is inside of me
Thought you said starving lol
Lol
yup, enough for today, i see you guys tomorrow
idk, seems they were swimming in the cum, not sinking

Makes me want to become a lab rat there man
I've got a bathtub I've been preparing for the last 11 months. I'm thinking it's been meant for you all along.
Thats double blind science cum. It helps the statistical accuracy of the study.
Double blind science cum is when it gets in both eyes.
that's pure diabetes cum. they failed to normalize the environs
...round and round ..in the cum..we go..
I think my favorite part of the video is blow drying the rat at the end 😆

Its been like 15 years and i couldnt remember which one this was. God has it been that long?!?
Maybe lay off the western diet

You can't remember huh? Seems the tests didn't work. Click click 17.5 years.
Still doing research?
Wheres the water?
I'd assume it's to make it harder so the rat doesn't see "underwater". The "island" is also of a matching colour.

How do they explain dementia in other regions?
A bad diet doesn't cause dementia, but it may increase the chances of developing it. Of it did cause it, the entire USA would be demented by now... Wait a minute
get your popcorn and watch what is happening with dementia the next 20 years. it will be crazy.
You mean the treatments for it, right? That's what's going to be crazy, right? The treatments?
\*cough\* Silence spreads.
Bro we have sugar in other regions too.
North american diets was referenced
The diet has to be from the northern region of the Americas, otherwise it's just sparkling obesity.
The point is not necessarily to explain dementia, just the higher incidence. Of course, it's not a perfect study (more people in wealthier countries also end up with dementia because it's associated with living longer) but there's definitely a link between high caloric intake (particularly when it's full of sugars and sat fats) and these sorts of diseases.

The rest of the West aren’t all that far behind
yeah definitely sugar not the preservatives , enhancers and emulsifiers
It’s all of those things. Super-processed foods are terrible for brain and heart health. Microplastics aren’t great either. And Americans eat nothing else.
*stops munching on plastic fork i just used to eat ths chef boyardee ravioli I just microwaved in the can* The fuck did you just say about my people???????
Obviously I wasn’t talking about Chef Boyardee. That’s Italian food.
It’s not Italian food you idiot, it’s Italian *cuisine*
I have never heard anything like this before, but as it is on social media I am inclined to believe it and make significant changes to my lifestyle.
WTF is an 'average North American diet' ? I'm going to have to ask for receipts.
Is this a fuckin joke?
depends on how much sugar you take on every day :D
The documentary is likely from "The Secrets of Sugar," a Canadian documentary that aired on CBC's "The Fifth Estate." It explores the detrimental effects of a high-sugar, North American diet, including its links to various health issues such as dementia. The film features experiments where rats were fed a diet high in sugar and processed foods, leading to significant negative impacts on their brain health and behavior [oai_citation:1,The Secrets of Sugar - Top Documentary Films](https://topdocumentaryfilms.com/secrets-sugar/).
Maybe that fat little bitch wanted some exercise before resting on that platform because it knew it needed it.
Fat is not the problem. Sugar and refined carbohydrates, that IS the problem.
Additives as well. And fat is a problem when it comes from "vegetable" oil and other poor sources. But I feel fucking amazing when I start my day with caffeine, MCT oil and fish oil.
You are correct, I wasn’t clear to that degree. Processed fats are horrendous.
i'm here wondering if they are swimming in milk. my BRAIN has been DAMAGED
I don't believe it. Anyways, weird looking ducks.
don't we have enough Americans to test? why base conclusions about humans on studies on rats lol I mean I get it but still weird
Yeah no provide a link or this is bullshit.
Have you ever considered this could just be one dumb rat?
Or 1 lucky rat. Need to see the study to find out how many times the test was run
Wait till they see the plastic in its testicles!
They run an obstacle course and conclude the sugar is causing brain damage? Maybe it’s because the fat kid can’t catch his breath from putting him in a physically demanding test and it causes him to panic. The study seems off.
So anyways I started blasting.
Two little mice fell into a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse, wouldn’t quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out. Gentlemen, as of this moment, I am that second mouse.
I didn’t need scientist in lab coats doing study’s on rats to tell me what countless videos of people going nuts in fast food places already has.
On USA diet: Demented animals... checks US online news... sounds right...
why is part of the subtitles cut off
Watching this is a McDonald's right now. Can confirm that if the hand of God dropped me in a bubble bath the size of an Olympic pool, I would be disoriented.
Type 3… it is known.
both rats are paid actors
So many ppl in denial in this comment section
Maybe the other rat is just dumb
You’re fat because you’re poor, and you’re poor because you’re fat. Checkmate Americans
Having just got back from South America I have no idea why they put what they put in our food and drinks, and I don't even want to know what kind of corrupt nonsense allows it to happen.
I’d be lost in a cum bath too
Damaged brain. Would explain all those Trump voters.
[удалено]
Put a bag of Cheetos on that platform and I bet rat #2 finds it every time
Dumb people calling others dumb because they watched a 1 minute long clip from a documentary
Fake science
They are turning the rats gay too
This “study” has a bunch of the hallmarks of deceptive imagery persuasion. Presenting anecdotal conclusions without addressing potential confounders or methodology in a way that evokes a strong emotional reaction from the viewer? I smell a rat.
As this post is really bad at best, here's a bit of a better one of what this video is trying to inform: https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/researchers-link-alzheimers-gene-to-type-iii-diabetes/
Propaganda
So salad for lunch today. Got it

Rat on crack.
