    In all my years of internet, with the exception of porn, this is the first time Ive watched a video of someone (attempting) pooing. 2nd, how can you not be wanting something your brain is telling you you want? Is one not their brain? Lastly, 1 in 5 in the UK (for now), 4 in 5 in for UK’s new post-Brexit BFF USA. Enjoy your chlorinated chickens.

    Coco puffs would be something amazing to be served at a restaurant… Wow that are some low standards

    If you think what happened in his brain is a coincidence or unwanted or surprising for the food industry, you’re kinda ret@rded.



  4. Farmer Smith on May 28, 2022 at 9:46 pm

    The 6.5kg weight gain in 30 days shows the disparity between a whole food diet and a processed diet. The crap in processed food really โ€œgimmicksโ€ the body so quickly.



  5. James Wilson comedy on May 28, 2022 at 9:47 pm

    I bet he eats 80% processed some weeks anyway

    Too much sugar, too much fat, too much salt, yes thatโ€™s can be not so good. But we canโ€™t demonize processed foods completely; itโ€™s all about moderation. I think some people do have unbalanced eating habits, but I think that can fall on either the junk food or health food spectrums. I come from the ultra health side, and itโ€™s consuming and can easily turn to be a not so healthy thing. The key is for people to love themselves and also stop body shaming overall. And then do your best to base your meals off of wholesome foods but able to control yourself and not be restrictive.



  7. Michael Ferto on May 28, 2022 at 9:48 pm

    …Very interesting.. There is the person’s brain, the social spiritual brain, and the external technology influence brain…Mind over matter is getting harder for self control…

    Fried chicken for breakfast???

    Most microwave processed food I’ve had were just flat out disgusting. If you have had really good home cooked fresh meals most of your life those things don’t even look appetizing. I think the real reason people love them is cause they have never had really good home cooked meals. Especially these extreme health nuts who eat even more unappetizing things and then they look at the processed garbage and even that looks appetizing to them. My point is achieving good health to me is obvious.. cook good balanced home meals and you will no longer want that processed junk out there.. it will just disappoint you.
    I literally started cooking more and more cause when I would eat out occasionally I was extremely disappointed in the food. If find something at a restaurant I happened to like I would come home and recreated it and use healthier and better ingredients.



  11. Knut Holt on May 28, 2022 at 9:55 pm

    The elite that orders this garbage to be served to the common people surely does not eat this junk themselves. Besides from squeezing as much money as possible out of the masses by selling this junk, the elite has the objective to make the common people obedient servants that live for a limited time to serve them, and then die, which is also a purpose with this food. To be as safe as possible from this fraudulent activity of the elite, you must make your food from clean raw material yourself. What is strange, is that he found this junk tasty. He might have been drugged already from the 20% jubk food he already consumed before this experiment that already had messed up his reactions.



  12. Stella Bella on May 28, 2022 at 9:58 pm

    Adorable children……………..stop eating this way so that you can be around for them as long as possible!



  13. resourcedragon on May 28, 2022 at 9:59 pm

    Have mercy on those of us with misophonia. Silence the chewing and slurping &c please.



  14. Michael on May 28, 2022 at 10:00 pm

    The Vegetable oils(seed oils) are absolutely the worst for you, Macular degeneration here we come.



  15. Tobias Pedersen on May 28, 2022 at 10:01 pm

    i am eating like processed 100% of the time, and i feel disgusted of watching this.. i really wanna change, it just seem like a biiiiiiig jungel of what to eat and not



  16. Mediolanon on May 28, 2022 at 10:02 pm

    Weird you can get arrested for dealing in crack but it is ok for corporate death dealers to sell burgers and pepperoni โ€œpizzaโ€.



  17. MarcusAlexander19 on May 28, 2022 at 10:02 pm

    Hereโ€™s the thing though..he was likely consuming many more calories than normal – hence the weight and fat gain..it would be better if he did a comparison between eating clean and eating processed food at the same caloric intake and then note the differenceโ€ฆotherwise, this is mostly gibberish



  18. DyingLewd on May 28, 2022 at 10:02 pm

    This shows actually how sad this poor diet really is like



  19. PietPadda on May 28, 2022 at 10:03 pm

    This video is ABSOLUTE rubbish and full on misinformation.

    0:17 "So I want to find out if changing just… doing nothing but changing the proportion of ultra-processed food in my diet has any effect on my health." This implies that the he is accounting for fiber, macros, micros and calories in his diet. The only difference is going ftom 20% processed to 80% processed. The term "ULTRA-processed" is not clearly defined…

    0:25 "My experiment will be run by one of Britain’s top obesity experts to make sure the results will be scientifically valid" Again, we’re assuming everything has been equated for an equal diet and the only difference being processed ratio.

    1:00 "What makes it ultra-processed is the chemicals that are added like monosodium glutamate (MSG), sodium phosphates and spice extracts to name just a few" So, how much and how many of each? All of them? What is different to low-processed, medium-processed, high-processed and ULTRA-processed? What about SUPERMEGADELUXE-processed? Is this just a gimmicky video? Doesn’t sound very scientific and the appeal to authority @ 0:25 doesn’t help the validity of this experiment at all…

    2:25 "The rules of my experiment are that I eat whenever I feel hungry which is what I always do" Aha! So now you’re contradicting what you initially stated? First, nothing changes except for the ratio of processed:unprocessed. Now, you can just eat whenever you feel like which throws all the control variables such calories, protein, fiber, sugar, trans fats, soidum and other micronutrients out the window. Immediately, this "experiment" has lost most of its value owing to this major mistake

    3:52 "I’m having the opposite problem from baby Sasha. I don’t know what this is about. This is just a video of me not having a poo." How much fiber did you have before? How much fiber are you getting now? Seriously. it is theoretically possible to eat unprocessed foods only that have next to no fiber and eat "ultra"-processed, which is not a scientific term, that has loads of fiber, soluble and insoluble, to assist in digestion and regularity. This is not scientific and I seriously have little to no faith now, especially after the supposed appeal to the seriousness of this experiment @ 0:25. Right now it looks like rubbish tv where you had preconceived notions of "processed" and you’re trying to force the conclusion of "processed = bad", which ISN’T true, at all costs.

    4:21 "I spent the whole day eating motorway junk and went to hea… to bed and my head was swollen". No duh? You are eating a LOT more carbs and sodium than you did previously, contradicting your control stated @ 0:17, which is resulting is excessive water retention. You’re a "UK Doctor", how do you not know this? Unless you’re a Dr of Nonsense…!?!?

    4:58 "Some foods that look pretty healthy can still count as ultra-processed foods, because they’re industrially produced and have multiple chemicals in the ingredients list." Firstly, non-processed foods can still be produced industrially… this is SUCH a poor argument. And having "multiple chemicals" makes it ultra processed? Do you know how many "chemicals" are in a raw tomato mr. Dr.? Here is a brief list of volatile compunds: 3-Methylbutanal, 2-Methylbutanal, 3-Methylbutanol, 2-Isobutylthiazole,ย 1-Penten-3-one, (Z)-3-Hexenal, Hexanal, (E)-2-Hexenal, (E)-2-Heptenal, (E,E)-2,4-Decadienal, Phenylacetaldehyde, Guaiacol, 2-Phenylethanol, Methyl salicylate, 1-Nitro-2-phenylethane, Eugenol, 6-Methyl-5-hepten-2-one, Geranial, ฮฒ-Damascenone, Geranylacetone,ย ฮฒ-Ionone. Next, the list of constituent parts (without naming all): Fructose, Glucose, Saccharose, Citric Acid, Malic Acid, Protein, Dicarboxylic amino acid, Pectic substances, Celluloise Hemicellulose, Minerals (too many to list), Lipids, Ascorbic Acid, Pigments, Other amino acids (too many), vitamins (too many), polyphenols and volatiles (already listed).

    I bet if you saw that in the ingredients list, you’d denounce tomatoes as MEGA-T-REX-processed, wouldn’t you?

    5:21 "Time for some pudding. Flavoured with delicious Potassium Sorbate. You can really taste the potassium sorbate." Are you being sarcastic or just a clown? Do you even know what this chemical is or are you again trying to fearmonger those who’re watching and don’t yet know what it is? Let’s see now: "Potassium sorbate, achemical additive that is widely used as a preservative in foods, drinks, and personal care products, is an *odorless and tasteless* salt synthetically produced from sorbic acid and potassium hydroxide." So there you have it: and odorless and tasteless salt that Dr. Bigbrain seems to think has a strong taste.

    6:16 "SHOWING THE BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTO" Again, these photos can be misleading, but regardless: yes, you ate more calories than before and gained more body fat. What did you expect? How is this inherently relevant to your vaguely defined level of processing? Really now…

    6:53 "And what we’ve found is that the hunger hormone in your blood went up by 30% once you’ve been on the diet." Yes, ghrelin has increased since your diet has changed to be less satiating. How is this relevant to processing? This is so dumb….

    7:10 "You’ve got a double-whammy: you’ve got an increase in the hunger hormone and a decrease in the hormone that’s telling your brain that you’ve eaten". This is NOT a double-whammy!!!! In almost all cases save for a few rare exceptions, an increase in ghrelin implies a decrease in leptin. It is a medical disorder if you have high levels of both. Your body starts to produce leptin and stop ghrelin once you’ve reached satiation and vice versa. Damn, this whole video is just an embarrassment.

    8:25 "I was surprised by the changes in the MRI scan. Really surprised… with just four weeks". And this is a so called "obesity" expert? And the Dr. as well? Really? The same thing happens to your brain on holiday or when you do anything you enjoy. Hell, just reading a book or studying does the same thing. The level of STUPIDITY in this video is astounding.

    8:40 "There are lots of children in this country who are on my diet from a very early age. Do we have any idea what that’s doing to them? No." HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. Obesity expert… what a fool and scam artist. Of course we do! We have countless meta analyses and systematic reviews… just because you haven’t read them doens’t mean the data doesn’t exist.



  20. ty py on May 28, 2022 at 10:04 pm

    I bet the only real unhealthy thing about friend chicken is that damn vegetables oil which I never trusted because the rest is literally the chicken itself flour and spices how bad can they be ?



  21. Our home adventure on May 28, 2022 at 10:05 pm

  30. Halfxue on May 28, 2022 at 10:16 pm

    Solutions? Go eat more unprocessed or minimally processed foods, like: vegetables, grains, fruits, beans, nuts, meats, seafood, herbs, spices, garlic, eggs, milk, etc.



  31. WASEEM TAHIR on May 28, 2022 at 10:18 pm

    So have you done a video on how to correct this??



  33. Cyphlix on May 28, 2022 at 10:20 pm

    His experiment looks healthier than my diet



  34. James Wilson comedy on May 28, 2022 at 10:22 pm

    Fried chicken isn’t ultra processed



  35. Fish Tales on May 28, 2022 at 10:22 pm

    Wow and now i understand how my weight has shot up, it has made me realise how important making meals from natural foods is .

  43. Mountain N on May 28, 2022 at 10:32 pm

    Why do you European countries weigh things according to how much a stone weighs? Is there a standard stone that weighs a certain amount?



  44. Albertus Agterberg on May 28, 2022 at 10:32 pm

    We are in war with food industry, pharmacy and banking industry. Even our own government



  45. Just Me on May 28, 2022 at 10:32 pm

    it seems wrong to do this to your body,,,, i always wonder these things: How much weight does he gain? and, as a female i personally think getting that weight off would be really bad for my mental health,,, just saying. (i think women shouldn’t do this,, the affect this would have on estrogen would be Really bad male hormones

    it’s so annoying in these shows when they show comparison photos and have used completely different lighting ………………………. WHY WOULD YOU BOTHER…….. exagerrated or purposefully skewed results are just pointless…. just be transparent and show what ACTUAL changes have occurred instead of feeling like you ‘have to’ exagerate it……. that’s one thing that really annoys me



  50. Ahmad Abumaqdam on May 28, 2022 at 10:41 pm
