Propylene glycol is in can food it’s a preservatives. It’s also an anti-freeze and the same thing in beer and liquor, it’s in soap deodorant toothpaste cereal, it is an element of nylon. I am highly allergic to properly glycol. This guy only barely breaks the ice about propyleneglycol.
I have gone through nightmare of using pg in mouthwash and mouth spray. I was feeling extremely tired, fuzzy headed, itchy, depressed and anxious. I thought it was eggs, coffee, dairy, gluten, coconut etc. but after excluding everything I could and still feeling rough- once I stopped pg containing products, I started to feel better.
The FDA defines a natural flavor as a substance extracted, distilled or similarly derived from plant or animal matter, either as is or after it has been roasted, heated or fermented, and whose function is for flavor, not nutrition. Foods that should be vegetarian can include flavors that are derived from animals, and foods can have flavors that outwardly have nothing to do with the food involved. An example of these incongruities is wine that includes traces of eggs or fish.
If it's savory it's MSG and if it's sweet it's castoreum, or for the layperson- beaver squeezings. They extract it from a beaver's anal glands. It's used to "hold" and stabilize the flavor, like ambergris (whale mucus) or civet (big wildcat's marking squirts) is used for perfume. So it's really very natural.
It is only since I started Keto and IF that I started studying ingredient labels and it was a real eye opener of the crap the put into processed products.
Propylene glycol, is natural. It is formed when fatty acids are freed from the fat triglycerides. You can make it from animal or vegetable sources, same chemical. Ethylene glycol is used in antifreeze in cars and is quite toxic and somewhat sweet tasting, was added to some wines illegally back in the day to sweeten them. Propylene glycol is easily metabolized in your body when it is ingested. You will make it when you eat fats. Nobody has proven it’s safe to inhale however. Think of breathing water versus drinking water. There are many other additives in vape that have not been proven safe to inhale, including artificial butter flavour that crippled popcorn factory workers when it caused COPD or popcorn lung when inhaled in large amounts. Many of the sweet flavours include a butter component. Do you want to find the safe dosage? Proplylene glycol or glycerine or glycerol are used in baking because it is a fat like molecule that also dissolved in water and does not evaporate easily. It adds and retains moisture in many goods and can be used to help fats and waters to mix. I believe you body generally recycles it rather than metabolizes it since any fat or triglyceride your body makes uses this compound as its backbone. Still don’t want to vaporize it and coat my lungs.
1. It is accumulative. Getting worse all the time for me, used to be able to take Benadryl but can't anymore. 2. It's hard to avoid because the American Government doesn't require the manufactures to list it as an ingredient. As an example, I can't use morphine. You wouldn't think that it has glycol, but morphine arrives as a dry ingredient and they mix it with Glycol to turn it into a liquid form. Most doctor's wouldn't be able to tell you that.
Finally someone with some truth. Look it up on nih .gov it kills brain cells suppresses the central nervous system and slowly induces brain fog. It is causing covid like symptoms.
Maybe not even that… other than preventative for freezing and anti oxidative… but alcohol doesn’t freeze but it doesn’t like heat. But neither conducted heat better than water. Be nice to have something better, doesn’t freeze gunk up or ignite or melt my aluminum… or react with bronze or copper… 🤔
Doctor Berg can you do one on Vegetable Glycerin? I vape because I been a heavy smoker all my life, and I definitely feel better vaping than I do smoking. Please and thank you!
After this video, I'm only choosing flavorings without Propylene Glycol hehe. Thanks guys, I can finally go up a flight of stairs, play tennis again and jog without wheezing and hacking up phlegm. It really has helped me.
@@Idkwholmao everything gives us cancer in america. I'll live my life using drugs in the most harm-reductive way possible and enjoy my life. I swapped from smoking to vaping and was a huge change. I had even stopped vaping for months and ended up picking one up again. Didn't notice any improved breathing or anything after stopping-- i only ended up buying another though because I was rolling on 6-apb and craved one lol
Thank you. I first learned about propylene glycol in automotive classes in the new forms of antifreeze. They are supposed to be non-toxic. I looked at my favorite deodorant and it's in there. Didn't know if I should be putting that on my skin? I will be looking at other brands to find alternatives, if they are available.
Hi:) Thank you for your helpful Video! Is there any academic work on propylene glycol in cosmetics that you would recommend? What are the alternatives?
It's been used for years by dairy farmers to lubricate cow udders. Farm supply stores carry large jugs of it. Vapers could make their own gallon jug of juice cheap if they used common grocery store flavor extracts such as cinnamon, vanilla, etc.. Not meaning to give people ideas but if they are going to do it anyway, might as well not spend a fortune. I personally don't vape.
you wouldn't want to use common grocery store flavor without searching it first, that recomendation can be dangerous as they aren't meant to be inhaled and could potentially be deadly that way. the lungs cannot get rid of every products there is and some can clog them.
@@alkeryn1700Any idea what the Chinese put in it for flavoring? I bet you that it's not FDA approved. Their dog and cat food kills thousands of pets each year. The PG and VG would probably cause more of a problem than a tad bit of natural flavoring if it was going to happen, due to thickness and ratio. Neither were vaped prior to e cigs. Adding nicotine would be the part to be concerned with since it is poison in a high concentrate.
@@gyrospinup oh yea definitely, never said the rest was good, i just said that putting the wrong thing can straight out kill you. anyway i never vaped but if i did i'd make my own liquid, i'd just carfuly look into what i put into it.
I love these types of videos!!! Keep making them!!! Love to educate my busy self by taking two minutes at a time and learning about one thing! It’s a great way to remember than learning too much at a time!
It's in my zinc supplement. I just now started reading the ingredients on the labels and it's starting to scare me off. They're just the Walmart spring valley ones so maybe I need to shop around.
I had done a prick taste and i am highly allergic to it. Trying to find skin care and make with out it is a task. Any recommendation is appreciated. Thank you. ❣
They laughed at me when I suggested they do a prick test for Glycol. Did you know that they use Glycol in ALL the prick tests? So you would be allergic to everything (just like my daughter did when she took the prick tests).
Hey doc I just came across a TikTok about this and it’s in most of my vitamins is it safe.. it’s in my spring valley vitamin c, iron,keratin and gelatin and my nature made super b-complex
I was just looking propylene glycol up and one website said it has caused cancer in lab tests... is a possible endocrine disrupter and neurotoxin... the soap base I've been buying at the store contains this... oh and also it is a penetration enhancer so will drive substances into skin
Naveen Noordeen I think it's different. My father uses Systane, an eyedrop. I looked up its ingredients and read polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol as separate "entries"
I am also taking medication( Movicol sachets) for chronic constipation/IBS-C issues for a long time on daily basis but now I am getting hair thinning/hair loss and iching issues,and I am in doubt that it is due to polyethylene glycol 3350 which is included in that medicine as 13g in one sachet.And I am using it's 2 sachets daily so almost 26 g daily.please guide me regarding that as I am so much worried I am also taking medication for chronic constipation/IBS-C issues for a long time on daily basis but I am getting hair thinning/hair loss and iching issues,and I am in doubt that it is due to polyethylene glycol 3350 which is included in that medicine as 13g in one sachet.And I am using it's 2 sachets daily so almost 26 g daily. Please guide me as I am so much worried about my hair issues.
Items I am sensitive to: Morphine gives me the feelings of having worms under the skin (mostly on my head but can happen anywhere on my body, any oily makeup will make my throat want to close, perfumes give me migraines, Mountain Dew gives me migraines, non-organic hot tea keeps me awake at night, sports drinks give me migraines, any specialty drinks do the same. Regular Benadryl gives me hives (must be common, they have stopped selling it in some stores), poison ivy lotion gives me hives. Iced tea in a PET bottle gives me almost immediate urinary tract infection. Penicillin gives me hives, cherry flavored numbing agents for my gums gives me migraines. The mold release spray they use at my place of employment gives me signs of neuropathy and burns my skin when I come into contact with it. Regular cigarettes give me pressure headaches but not all the time (I roll my own now). I also get RLS at night, so I take something to help me sleep and when I get hives unless I take something to stop the progression it turns into Angioedema which will hospitalize me. What do all these items have in common? They all contain a form of glycol. The world needs to wake up before I can no longer live in it.
Food ‘flavor’ and ‘extract’ makers use propylene glycol as additive/preservative. Makes me wonder how unhealthy those pumps of sugar-free Caramel syrup are when flavoring supposedly ‘bulletproof’ coffee.
all the things he just said and everyone is bitching about it not being common in antifreeze and its only in certain kinds because its "less toxic".... that's a silly phrase.... that's like saying "Pretty ugly" or "kinda dangerous" or "a little dirty"...... how about ....we don't need to consume it because it serves "very little" nutritional value.
Nice to see you responding to requests! So I have the electronic cig, my juice is made of only 30% propylene glycol and 70% vegetable glycerine, should I stop using it? I had it for about a month so far no allergies or coughing, but I heard the allergies may occur with time.
I think its a personal choice,I dont think its the best for you ..I heard if your not having side effects its fine but you may want to look into doing just vg. It doesn't always work great with every device,so it depends on that,at the end of the day it's still healthier than cigarettes :)
Tamara I agree, I have seen many interesting tests out on RUclips, cig vs.vape and it shows what could happen in your lungs. No matter what vape is healthier, though we don't yet know the long term side effect of fluid in lugs. I have had really sore skin lately and very dry skin as well, I wonder if it has anything to do with vape, or even if it affects organs 🤔
@@Postulatedstate stopped it right away back then, I got weird reaction on my neck looking like spots and started coughing so I quit and its all good now
First of all thank you for your amazing video, could you make a video regarding a uric acid. how get rid of it and what is cause that. thank you.... G God bless you.
With due respect, sir, it seems you just explained Propylene glycol and not Dipropylene glycol. The latter is unregulated and not considered harmful, so commonly used in household and cosmetic products.
do you think vaping e cigarettes could kick you out of ketosis? I've read some info that the vegetable glycerin could potentially impact blood sugar would love to know what you think about this. I don't think its been very well studied. Love the channel and thanks for all the amazing content you provide !
Boxah ok that’s interesting because I only started thinking of it as a potential issue after vaping a really sweet grape flavored vape, because I could feel the blood sugar spike. Normally I use a menthol or a watermelon mint CBD vape fluid and it doesn’t seem to affect me. Thanks for the reply !
I see it in many of my flavoring additives, and I believe it is given to cattle to help PREVENT ketosis in livestock. Not sure how that translates to one(human) on the keto diet. Can't be helping achieve goals though.
I experience propylene Glycol in my favorite father's Day cake from Costco. I ate a hefty piece before going to sleep. When I awaken I experience acute memory loss. I will not purchase that cake again no matter how tantalizing and delicious 😋 it appears to be. I appreciate the Doctor speaking the truth about it. It SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN FOOD!!!!!!!!!!
I take medication that contains propylene glycol and I am on keto. I am very worried about this especially because I think it has a carbohydrate structure with very high carbs. So far there is no other medication I can take. Suggestions?

Thank you for being balanced. Straightforward: In general, propylene glycol is inert, but some people are sensitive to it. A lot of antifreeze is actually *ethylene* glycol based, and *ethylene* glycol is extremely toxic and causes acute organ failure and death; you can get propylene glycol based antifreeze that is less toxic (the toxic bit is the additives, but they are more trace), and will be less dangerous to handle especially if you have curious children or animals around. AMSOil up in Wisconsin makes a good performing propylene glycol based coolant antifreeze that is technically biodegradable (though you should still dispose of it properly if possible).

There are several companies that offer organic Vapes with VG only no PG. Propylene glycol has been found to cause infertility in women and acne. Polyethylene glycol otherwise known as peg would be a great show to do on how it contains self-replicating nanofibers this should not be injected.
Researchers in the UK claim that vaping is quite safe (at least 95% safer than smoking). I managed to quit smoking by vaping - without any nicotine. Do you have any new research regarding vaping (and PG)? I dont disagree with you, I`m just very curious since many seem to find PG (and VG) quite safe.
Highest75 PG is safe enough.. they use it in all kinds of things so it's definitely not dangerous. On the other hand we can't say it has any benefits though. Some people are allergic to it for some reason but that's nature. In comparison to smoking it's super healthy lol

Propylene glycol is in can food it’s a preservatives. It’s also an anti-freeze and the same thing in beer and liquor, it’s in soap deodorant toothpaste cereal, it is an element of nylon. I am highly allergic to properly glycol. This guy only barely breaks the ice about propyleneglycol.

Can you do a video on "Natural Flavors"? i see them in all the products including the natural, organic products.
deeavv those are only in processed foods so he wouldn’t recommend them.
The FDA defines a natural flavor as a substance extracted, distilled or similarly derived from plant or animal matter, either as is or after it has been roasted, heated or fermented, and whose function is for flavor, not nutrition. Foods that should be vegetarian can include flavors that are derived from animals, and foods can have flavors that outwardly have nothing to do with the food involved. An example of these incongruities is wine that includes traces of eggs or fish.
anything that says "natural flavors" has nothing natural in it
Christine Jaroszynski you probably don't want to know what's in "natural flavors". As long as you're not eating a ton of it, it's probably fine.🤷🏻♂️
If it's savory it's MSG and if it's sweet it's castoreum, or for the layperson- beaver squeezings. They extract it from a beaver's anal glands. It's used to "hold" and stabilize the flavor, like ambergris (whale mucus) or civet (big wildcat's marking squirts) is used for perfume. So it's really very natural.
It is only since I started Keto and IF that I started studying ingredient labels and it was a real eye opener of the crap the put into processed products.

i dont need it at all in my bike cos i live in the tropics and its an air cooled engine!

I don't think its been very well studied. Love the channel and thanks for all the amazing content you provide !
Joe Dees, as a years-long vaper, I suspect the amount of glycerine inhaled and absorbed is miniscule. I stay in ketosis and I vape about 30ml a day.
what flavors do you vape? :)
Boxah ok that’s interesting because I only started thinking of it as a potential issue after vaping a really sweet grape flavored vape, because I could feel the blood sugar spike. Normally I use a menthol or a watermelon mint CBD vape fluid and it doesn’t seem to affect me. Thanks for the reply !

Is pycnogenol a preservative?
What is your take of glycerin/glycerol?
I see it in many of my flavoring additives, and I believe it is given to cattle to help PREVENT ketosis in livestock. Not sure how that translates to one(human) on the keto diet. Can't be helping achieve goals though.
I experience propylene Glycol in my favorite father's Day cake from Costco. I ate a hefty piece before going to sleep. When I awaken I experience acute memory loss. I will not purchase that cake again no matter how tantalizing and delicious 😋 it appears to be. I appreciate the Doctor speaking the truth about it. It SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN FOOD!!!!!!!!!!
what is the natural replacement of this solvent...thanks in advance .
I take medication that contains propylene glycol and I am on keto. I am very worried about this especially because I think it has a carbohydrate structure with very high carbs. So far there is no other medication I can take. Suggestions?
Zyrtec? Works on my glycol issues.
I am also taking medication for chronic constipation/IBS-C issues for a long time on daily basis but I am getting hair thinning/hair loss and iching issues,and I am in doubt that it is due to polyethylene glycol 3350 which is included in that medicine as 13g in one sachet.And I am using it's 2 sachets daily so almost 26 g daily.please guide me regarding that as I am so much worried I am also taking medication for chronic constipation/IBS-C issues for a long time on daily basis but I am getting hair thinning/hair loss and iching issues,and I am in doubt that it is due to polyethylene glycol 3350 which is included in that medicine as 13g in one sachet.And I am using it's 2 sachets daily so almost 26 g daily.

Isn’t this what they have people drink before a colonoscopy?
temperature is 0 santigrad degree
Thank you for being balanced.
Straightforward: In general, propylene glycol is inert, but some people are sensitive to it.
A lot of antifreeze is actually *ethylene* glycol based, and *ethylene* glycol is extremely toxic and causes acute organ failure and death; you can get propylene glycol based antifreeze that is less toxic (the toxic bit is the additives, but they are more trace), and will be less dangerous to handle especially if you have curious children or animals around. AMSOil up in Wisconsin makes a good performing propylene glycol based coolant antifreeze that is technically biodegradable (though you should still dispose of it properly if possible).
Could this cause acid reflux? It's in Hint Water
I am finding this in supplements. Fish and krill oil recently when looking around. Thanks for this info.
What about caprylyl glycol?
THANK YOU DR BERG
The first ingredient in turners black walnut ice cream. When I use to eat ice cream......

Doctor Berg, I have Bile Malabsorption. I had a SeHCAT study done and have been prescribed colestyramine sachets for this. They are 97.2% Propylene Glycol and 2.5% Sugar. Do you recommend these sachets or something else? Thanks.
Trevor Wallace?

Topical Minoxidil contains PG , thoughts on long term topical application to the scalp ?

I’ve been putting sustain PF into my brother’s eyes, what can I use instead for his dry eyes?

If I'm not vape, I seriously don't know know what is PG ! Please tell us more about VG as well, Thank you and have a great day.
Same chemical different source.
@@scottmichaelharris vegetable glycerin is not the same chemical as propylene glycol
I am also taking medication( Movicol sachets) for chronic constipation/IBS-C issues for a long time on daily basis but now I am getting hair thinning/hair loss and iching issues,and I am in doubt that it is due to polyethylene glycol 3350 which is included in that medicine as 13g in one sachet.And I am using it's 2 sachets daily so almost 26 g daily.please guide me regarding that as I am so much worried I am also taking medication for chronic constipation/IBS-C issues for a long time on daily basis but I am getting hair thinning/hair loss and iching issues,and I am in doubt that it is due to polyethylene glycol 3350 which is included in that medicine as 13g in one sachet.And I am using it's 2 sachets daily so almost 26 g daily.

It's also still in dog food, and dog treats. And yes it can damage your kidneys.
What about the Polyethylene Glycol taken prior to Colonoscopies- having one soon, and worried about it.

Dr pls make video on specific juul e cig

There are several companies that offer organic Vapes with VG only no PG. Propylene glycol has been found to cause infertility in women and acne. Polyethylene glycol otherwise known as peg would be a great show to do on how it contains self-replicating nanofibers this should not be injected.
What about DPG?
Researchers in the UK claim that vaping is quite safe (at least 95% safer than smoking). I managed to quit smoking by vaping - without any nicotine. Do you have any new research regarding vaping (and PG)? I dont disagree with you, I`m just very curious since many seem to find PG (and VG) quite safe.
Highest75 PG is safe enough.. they use it in all kinds of things so it's definitely not dangerous. On the other hand we can't say it has any benefits though. Some people are allergic to it for some reason but that's nature. In comparison to smoking it's super healthy lol
It sounds weird but propylene glycol saved my life !
Thank u for this!
Most welcome!
Thanks Doc.!
Most welcome!
How can I make my monk fruit erythritol sugar free milk ice cream not freez to a brick then??? I would gladly use something else???? We have been fed it most our life’s but I’m open to alternatives. Scoopable when frozen keto ice cream can help so many people stay on keto… who wants to boil custard every time they want ice cream. And clean and freez a fake ice cream machine with a real ice cream machine it freezes to a block half way through churning…. You don’t get a Michelin tire with a rock
