Sugar also causes wrinkles
I'm in an assisted living center and staff do everything…..I'm losing weight….I was 240lbs….I'm now about 215lbs …..
Not bad for a retired hvac mechanic from Thunder Bay Ontario Canada
I don't like Sweet
I was hoping for not that bad of a result because i eat sugar everyday
brain is a paid actor here.
After this video, I instantly threw the chocolate bar I just bought in the bin…
Glucose/carbohydrates listed in the animated shopping cart at 0:34 being glucose, sucrose, maltose, lactose, dextrose, starch, corn syrup and fruit juice just goes to show there's a lot of different ways to manipulate the consumer.
Picture Cakes and warm gooey cookies piled high with ice cream Are craving food especially sugary desert, Tastes activate taste receptors on the tongue lile bitter salty, umami flavors
It is interesting how different parts of the tongue work together to process the different flavors from sweet, salty, to even spicy, and then transmit the information to the brain 1:11
I like the diagram with the tongue that highlights that the sugar activates the front part of the tongue
1:30 i never knew that different parts of the brain registered bitter, sweet, salty, and umami.
1:12 i love how the video flashes the areas of the tongue where the taste buds are located.
eating sum sweets is yummy but I can't eat like a long term but after a day i crave for it
3:43 Picture of a plate with spoiled food and bugs on it that has been crossed out to show it is to be avoided. Next to it is a picture of a plate loaded with healthy foods and all of the vitamins that those foods contain.
I like how at 1:08 it shows the tip of the tongue highlighted as it beeps, so you can know where it hits.
3:02 Pictures showing drugs, alcohol and cigarettes next to a picture of a brain with many exploding dopamine receptors indicating those receptors are being fired off by those chemicals.
2:38 Picture of brain with many arrows pointing into it indicating dopamine receptors.
4:31 I enjoy the graphic showing the human body represented as a cartoon factory being destroyed by sugar.
2:21 Anatomical picture of human intestines, where the food has traveled. It shows sugar receptors lighting up as the cereal hits it.
2:28 a fun visualization a stomach responding to sugar "I'm full!"
1:08 It's weird that the graphic has a tongue showing the sweet spot on the front of the tongue since that has been proven not to be accurate.
1:48 Picture of a slot machine type reward system that says 'Should I do that again? Go for it' with lights and confetti like you just won a prize.
1:31 shows the cerebral cortex and a representation of how different tastes are processed – in our case, we want to focus on sugar
1:28 Drawing of the cerebral cortex portion of the brain and the areas that are activated by bitter, salty, sweet and umami tastes
0:06 1:11Picture of a tongue with spots marked for taste receptors that sense sweetness
1:12 helpful graphic showing how sugar hits the tongue and sends signals up to the brain
4:41 the conveyor belt of all of the sugary food is really amazing to see how each item of sugary food like cake, cookies traveling through the body is showing us how easy it is to get addicted and how your body is reacting like a machine blindly contining to eat the high fructose food to get our quick addiction fix.
2:24 the skeleton is now full in the belly as the food travels down to the intestine. You can feel the food going down and having the immediate feeling of the food travelling from the mouth to the stomach.
1:42 The combination of all of the flavors like sweet, bitter salty and umami illustrated in the brain image is very subconscious as it floats around in the brain.
1:30 The video shows a diagram of the different taste centers in the cerebral cortex. Although probably not totally accurate, the premise is backed up by the paper "Functional Organization of the Human Gustatory Cortex" by Masayuki Kobayashi.
1:1 The skeleton eating cereal is kind of like me in the middle of the night getting a snack like a zombie. The skeleton displayed has a direct and immediate connection to the brian after tasting the first bite of sugar from the cereal on the spoon to the tongue.
0:16 Every kind of sweet treat, (Cookies, ice cream pop and cake) is displayed to get your sweet cravings going. It's making want to have some eventhough I am not hungry.
1:51 It's raining candy! The words are shaped into a slot machine that has flashing lights! They really went all out on this one. The words read "Should I do that again? and then in big letters, 'GO FOR IT!"
1:50 Interesting visual depiction of a dopamine dump.
1:10 Every part of the tongue detects sweetness. There's an inaccurate tongue map diagram.
I craved ice cream while watching this, now iam eating it
2:36 The major currency of our rewards system is dopamine , an important chemical or neuro transmitter. There are many receptors in the forebrain.

That's why you are the best channel on YouTube, so well explained. Thank you ❤️
When I was younger, I love sweets.
But when I turned 17 in college, I hate too much sweets for I don't know reasons.🤷
That's why I don't feel it hard to not eat too much sweets in my food. 😃
Acc no Im addicted to salty food 😭
"Picture warm, gooey cookies, crunchy candies, velvety cakes, waffle cones piled high with ice cream. Is your mouth watering? Are you craving dessert?"
Eh, I'm more of a savory guy.
is it just me or I don't like any sugar like Ice-cream, Cake, Popsicle or anything that is sweet?
Watching while eating ice cream:(
