Poor Dave has trust issues now! :D
Well in some fruits the nutrients are better with the peel so eating the peel is good in some fruits
Mad respect for Dave😌✊❤️
“I don’t want it to taste bad for Dave.” That’s some character development right there

The fact that you used Banana Boat sunscreen in the UV test was not lost on us. Well played!
Lol yes!
I came looking in comments to see if anyone else noticed that , and how she avoided naming the sunscreen she used LOL
Well yeah she's not being paid to endorse them, if she named it she would need permission or else they could have a reason to take the video down, which is sad because they aren't even in the same country but youtube would demonitize for another american company at the drop of a hat.
Also the microwaved banana thing is sometimes called a banana boat and it is usually a camp desert cooked in the fire.
@@kimberley9089 oh yeah, I’ve heard that’s a thing. Sounds delicious!
As a Californian, I love how serious Australians are about sunscreen and sun protection, there's such a culture of tanning and being out in the sun here but as someone who can't tan and has been hiding behind the highest SPF I can find, it's always frustrating seemingly being the only one in a group trying to avoid the sun
Having been raised in San Diego myself, I agree, and unfortunately those individuals who go out tanning will probably pay the ultimate price eventually. My fiancee is Australian and she takes sunscreen VERY seriously. I have enjoyed visiting around Christmas time and it was HOT! I understand why it's a big deal there. It should be here too.
Granted, back in "the day", this wasn't as well understood, just like people thought smoking wasn't bad for you. Today, we know better and I'll tell you that it takes a much smaller "mistake" to ruin your life than this.
All I know is that I try to avoid the sun as much as possible and wear sunscreen when I can't, and I basically had no wrinkles until relatively recently, and still have far fewer than one might expect given the fact that I'm in my 60s. So keep doing what you're doing, and you'll probably have similar results. (I'm pretty fair-skinned, by the way.)
rates of skin cancer have gone up soo much over the last decades and tanning culture is probably a huge reason for that. it really shouldn't be as normalised, you can just get fake tans if you like that look.
Honestly "even monkeys peel bananas" should be a modern proverb meaning something like "don't make things more difficult than they need to be"

My favourite thing about seeing a fellow Aussie on RUclips is the instantaneous anger when faced with false sun safety information. I know you've done more than a few debunking videos (and I intend to watch them all because this was great fun to watch) but I had no idea there was so much misinformation about bananas out there
How to “save” a banana once it’s gone brown: Chuck it in the freezer and use it for making banana bread later on.
Or put it into a fruit smoothie.
@@TherealDanielleNelson that is the only answer. or a tad of whipping cream and chuck it in an ice cream maker it makes a nice fruity sorbet. just banana is kinda plain tho. i make mine using apples and bananas and whichever fruit i feel like lol.
oh blend it prior... idk if that needed to be said but its obvious enough lol
Honestly, my grandpa used to only eat bananas if they had gone completely black. he said that it was more nicely textured than regular bananas
@@crunchevo8974 I use fresh bananas for smoothies but old ones always for baking. Older bananas start to ferment and that burns the hell out of my mouth and throat, if you make banana bread the baking burns off the fermentation fumes. I do make smoothies with old bananas still because I don't have anything else to eat at the time, but it's not pleasant like using a fresh banana, I'd much rather save it for bread or muffins.
@@-desertpackrat love a good ripened but not fermented banana. in my household we habe never thrown a fruit away lol.... well once that one watermelon that tasted like literal dirty tap water... that was beyond consumption

I've never had a problem with GMO's. "Genetically modified" is one of those terms that a lot of people get scared of, but it really just means foods that have been cross-bred and genetically spliced with other foods to make them produce more, give them resistance to diseases and pests, etc. and it's not harmful.
Except that is *not* what GMO means. Unless you think a plant can cross-breed with a bacterium.
"A GMO is a plant or animal that has been genetically modified through the addition of a small amount of genetic material from other organisms through molecular techniques."
Cross-breeding is one thing, and perfectly, well, normal, as we've been doing it for hundreds of years.
Genetically modifying it implies modern genetic engineering, performed in a laboratory, where you mix and match DNA from organisms other than plants and add it to your desired plant's DNA.
Look up "How Monsanto created Bt Corn" for example.
@@deborachristmannsaid That is literally what it means though. Genetically Modified Organism is any organism that has had its genetics modified in any way. This includes husbandry and agriculture. What you are thinking of is Genetic Engineering (GE) which including things like gene splicing. All GE are GMO but not all GMO are GE. The fact that you dont even know the name of the thing you are worried about shows how much research you actually did on the subject.
@@williamjenkins4913 Good grief, did you?
I studied it in college and looked it up again before commenting, just to be sure.
And then I looked it up AGAIN after your comment. What I said is correct; GMO does *not* include regular husbandry and cross-breeding. Every university website I visited disagrees with you. You look it up now.
@@deborachristmannsaid Debora. You do realize that any distinction in the scientific community is just for distinction's sake. If you actually did study it, you would know that there is no such thing as "fish DNA" or "fruit DNA" or "human DNA".
There is no functional difference between an artificially made GMO and a "organically" made one. All DNA is the same DNA, the only thing that separates you from a turnip is the order (and quantity) of your respective DNAs.
@@FaeQueenCory You mean that all DNA is just adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine in different quantities and sequences? True. But considering the quantity and order result in as many differences as an orange has to a donkey, to have such a reductionist view is profoundly foolish and potentially dangerous.

I didn't know putting chocolate chips into a banana and heating it was a "hack," that's just called campfire food! Wrap in foil and place on the coals of a campfire. Great with marshmallows, too :)
Yess
they were called banana boats at a camp i went to! i have a tshirt from there with a lil cartoon of people rafting in a banana boat
We call them 'banana splits' in Girl Guides here in the UK - we don't take a slice out of the skin, just slit the skin, insert your chocolate (chocolate buttons are good for this), wrap the banana in foil and put it in the embers of the campfire for a few minutes. Not tried them with marshmallows, but I can bet those taste pretty good, too.

That triple banana time-lapse at the beginning was one of the most depressing things I've ever seen. Fantastic.
Fun fact: Aloes are Xerophytes, which are plants that have adapted to the lack of water in their environment. Their roots are thick, allowing them to absorb water faster, and the thickness of the roots also prevents the loss of water.
In the video the roots that they glued on were not only too thin to be aloe roots, but were taproots (grew straight down). Aloes have adventitious roots (roots that grow sideways, just underneath the surface of the soil) which allow them to absorb water as soon as possible after it hits the ground! 😁
Oh, cool! Thanks for that!
That’s interesting :o
Cool fact

My mother passed away from melanoma back in 2010. She was 49. She just had a couple bad sunburns in her life but with a pale redhead that is all it takes. Thanks for bringing awareness to this cancer, people don't take it seriously.
my dad had melanoma that spread to his lungs when I was a kid. He's a redhead, not ginger but still red (he survived)
I now take sun safety seriously and will use sun screen from now on. Thank you enlightening me.
I've never owned a bottle of sunscreen. My mom had a possible pre-cancerous mole (probably melanoma) once in her 60+ years and she worshipped the sun her whole life and still does.
@@JenIsHungry well good for you and her. That is like saying "my mom smoked cigarettes and never had lung cancer."
I prefer to not play Russian Roulette. You can also win or lose at that game too!
@@JenIsHungry well, that's just dangerous and not a very smart move. Sure it works for you, and I'm glad it does, but that kind of reckless behavior isn't something you should talk about in a good light. As a POC I also don't use sunscreen, but I don't spend my whole life outside because even I know that's not good for me. Each person has a different type of melanin, and maybe your family has some melanin POC people usually have in their genes, which makes you less likely to develop this cancer because you're less likely to get a burn. You yourself said she get a mole with the cancer, but since it wasn't deadly (I really hope it wasn't) you seem to act pretty calm about it, and even respond to a person whose mom's died from this. You might just be sharing your experience, but you really have to stop and think about the affect your comment may have on a person, especially someone who lost a beloved one. You don't have to bathe in sunscreen or even listen to me, but don't be reckless and not take precautions simply because your mom didn't get it, so why should I worry? Stay safe, stay humble ❤️
I so appreciate her level of research on these things. She is referencing and digging up some awesome bio papers that are sometimes not the easiest to interpret, and she continually shows off her sources in the video. It makes me so happy
Yes, that is very solid production, i'm grateful for that!
The trick to keeping bananas from spoiling is simple.
Step #1: Eat the banana.
This trick also works for other types of food.
Can't spoil when they're spoiled by the perfectly functional digestive system lmfao
@@crowdemon_archives Spoiling is just microorganisms eating the food instead of you so it is really the same process but on different scales.
Thank you for pointing out that the GMO conversation completely changes when you’re talking about saving people’s livelihoods. We eat GMO foods all the time without thinking much about it, so if there’s really anyone out there who’s like “yeah, this fruit should be wiped out, other people’s jobs be damned, because I don’t like the term ‘GMO’ since I don’t understand it!” then you need to check yourself lol
Agreed!!
Yes, especially in this case they are only modifying the banana with other banana. Essentially a result that could have been achieved by old fashioned hybridization buy excelerated by our ability to pinpoint the exact gene we need from the other variety of banana. This should not be worrying in any way.
When GMO gets worrying is when food crops are being modified with genes from completely unrelated species, for example jellyfish in wheat or soy crops, without a good understanding of how side effects could adversely affect people consuming the crop over time.
The problem comes with a couple issues. First, your definition of a GMO being eaten all the time without thought is inaccurate, because we (humans) didn't originally just go around artificially altering the genetic makeup of the plants we considered crops. That was left to a natural process and only manipulated by selective breeding...
The difference? Well, with the completely artificial and arbitrary nature of GMO's, when someone creates a new "strain" or whatever, they get to register that in the patent office... Doesn't sound like much, until you realize that Monsanto has been sending thugs to terrorize "old fashioned farmers" who were still using seed-mills and replanting some of the seeds to their own crops. Monsanto followed through with SUING these farmers out of life and farm for "stealing intellectual property related to their (Monsanto's) patented strains"...
SO you can defend it NOW with some brilliance and hard work to "arbitrarily and artificially" modify bananas for a hybrid strain between the Cavendish and some wild bunch that's resistant to the current blight... saving people's livelihoods... GOOD FOR YOOOOOUUUU...
MEANWHILE, the historical standing on the matter is the use of this technology to DESTROY livelihoods in the pursuit of MONOPOLY by the few industrialists who will register every hybrid and strain they possibly can, and DAMNABLY make sure to put every other possible strain out of circulation one way or another. When you can no longer even get seeds without going to the monopolist in your location for them, guess what the hell happens to the prices and YOUR left-over income then???
I'll give you a hint... someone's going to starve to death, and it's DAMN SURELY NOT going to be anyone who owns stock in the "Seed giant". ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 The problems in your example are ruthless corporations and patent laws, not the genetic engineering technology itself.
We have genetically altered crops and animals through selective breeding for thousands of years, through mutation breeding since 1920s and with genetic engineering since 1970s. Newer technologies are of course more powerful but less nutritious plants or sicker animals have been bred with traditional selective breeding too, so the issue here is regulation, not that genetic engineering is "unnatural". Genetic engineering is actually potentially safer, because there is more control on what genes are passed on.
@@andeluvianspeeddemon4528 For the most part...
We ARE still working out a lot of "fiddly bits"... The dubious part of it also involves that we just don't know what some of the "inoperative proteins" do... and that's the outright dangerous part.
While they improve crops with pesticide secretions in their genetics, what happens when the honeybees are rendered extinct in a season?
That's not an utterly impossible thought... so it's not JUST regulation that needs overhauled. We need to be CAREFUL of the tech' while we suss this stuff out, NOW.
AND if you think this is the kind of thing where you just don't need to consider the "heartless industrial giants" then you ARE crazier than bat-sh*t. Industrialists are leeches. They suck the life blood out of good people and then turn the argument so that it's somehow the good people's fault for it happening.
"Well, if there wasn't a market for it, we wouldn't have made money by doing that."
Frankly, since we already SEE how they just buy out everyone who can stand in their way, and they HAVE... I fail to see why you'd defend the tech' as if it's ever in HELL going to really contribute to make yours or my life any better. Monsanto's already weaponized the courts to destroy the older fashion of farming... one of the very few ways farmers have cut their costs over the longest possible run... and forced them into regular re-investment through the seed producers just to keep afloat at all... good years or bad... AND the only difference from good year to bad is the amount of debt taken on for that reinvestment.
Safer? Why? Because we can thumb through and only pick the particular genes and turn on or off the specific proteins? You know what happened when our "genetic tinkering" went sideways on hybrids in the past? They died... Pretty reliably, that was the end of it. We did invent the "killer bee" the old fashioned way, but rarely anything else, and that was as much about putting exotic species into a new environment as it was anything to do with our hybriding... BUT I'll give it to you.
AND it's ONLY GOING TO BE safer when (and if) we ever fully suss out those fiddly bits. We make progress, but over BILLIONS of protein pairs, I'm guessing it's going to take a while yet. ;o)
Ann Reardon raising awareness about anything is what this world needs
I don’t understand why people are against GMO? With plants, nearly every vegetable you eat has been modified at some time to make it more edible.
The only modifications I'm against are when they make the seeds duds so you can't replant after buying from the store
i am a supporter of GMO, but selective breeding is a very different thing from GMO.
with GMO there is a possibility for gene edits that no natural crop has, which may give unintended side effects.
I’m against making a crop immune from roundup type pesticides and then smothering them in it. It’s still found in the food later. Humans aren’t so resistant.
There's no inherent problem with GMOs. The bigger problems have to do with how the technology is used. Forcing farmers to buy seeds every year instead of being able to save some from the previous harvest. Encouraging the use of very strong pesticides which harm the environment. There's also some concerns about superweeds due to cross pollination and unintentional side effects, though I don't know how relevant those concerns really are so I'm not going to speak on them with any real conviction.
There are some environmental concerns with GMOs. I'm not against eating them but it might be worth looking into how sustainable these processes are.
My housemate thinks I’m mad but I’ve always kept my bananas in the fridge for them to last longer. Always good for smoothies

Freeze your bananas (peeled, of course), that way you won't need to add ice to your smoothies.

Speaking as a graduate student in conservation & someone that teaches introductory genetics, the lack of nuance surrounding the GMO debate has to be one of my biggest pet peeves. People seem to conflate so many unrelated issues with modern agriculture & free-market capitalism with "GMOs are bad" when the technology - like electricity or any other innovation - is neither inherently good or bad. It's always a question of how people use it (e.g. nuclear bombs versus medical isotopes for cancer-screening).
I personally think that genetic engineering is an absolutely essential part of sustainable development, but I'm happy to agree that many of the current, commercial, uses of genetic engineering in agriculture are less than ideal (or even bad applications of the technology). Using transgenic gene modification to make your plants more resistant to the broad-spectrum herbicide you also sell, i.e. Roundup-Ready crops, is probably not ideal - or necessarily ethical from an environmentalist's viewpoint - but there are myriad ways that this same technology (and other, more modern techniques like CRISPR) can be used to promote sustainable development rather than reinforcing our dependence on pesticides, fertilizer, and water in agriculture.
One way is to integrate the gene groups from undomesticated varieties that confer higher pest-resistance and/or predator/parasitoid recruitment into our domesticated cultivars and reduce the need for pesticide applications. Another is to increase plants' drought resistance, and another to increase their thermal/UV tolerance to bolster them against the effects of climate change and reduce the substantial amount of water needed to make land arable in many parts of the world. Yet another is to optimize growth rates and yields to reduce the land needed to grow the same amount of food. None of these are hypothetical: all of them are being researched today.
Outside of agriculture, GMOs are responsible for one of the greatest breakthroughs in pharmacology/medicine availability. Know someone that needs insulin? Their ability to get it is largely thanks to genetically modified microbes. Before this was available, animal-derived insulin (mostly from pigs & cows) was our only source. Over 2 tons of pig pancreas were needed to produce 8 ounces of usable insulin - making it both prohibitively expensive for many diabetics and only available in small quantities - while today we can essentially grow it in a vat thanks to genetic engineering.
thank you
This. Yes, thank you. So can we figure out how to stop unethical extortionist uses of GMOs?
Hear hear! Beautifully put! GMOs are good for you! Corporate behavior is potentially bad.
@@MlleLorelei watchdog organisations, legislation that makes such crop to chemical dependence illegal and keeping pressure on companies to be ethical.
awesome, thanks for the well written comment!
The vegan use of banana peel can actually be pretty tasty, depending on the dish you're making. I'm personally a fan of strogonoff. But it's way better to do so if you know the right seasonings, ways to cook it beforehand, and so on. In summary, a nice thing for vegans who like kitchen experiments, not so much a hack... Also, cooked bananas are kinda of a cultural thing, I suppose: here in Brazil you'll find a lot of hot dishes that use it. But to each county their own: I'll NEVER understand why people eat their avocados with salt instead of sugar, while my friends from the US think sweet avocados are the weirdest 🤷♀️
In any case, your videos are always fun and informative, and this is no exception.
Jesus Christ sweet avocados that sounds so interesting and weird gonna try that now :D
this! my boyfriend does some serious kitchen experimentation, and made some very good vegan pulled pork. they key is to cook it for a long time, until it has the texture of actual pulled pork
@@fruitykiwiw I usually eat It with powdered milk and condensed milk! Best thing If the avocados aren't that sweet on their own.
Dave: Heart of gold, stomach of steel.
Dave´s "Even MONKEYS peel bananas" is gold.
I remember there was a study on which was better (organic bananas or non organic). The monkeys ate the peel on organics and peeled the nonorganic, lol. Also the monkeys were used to eating non organic bananas, so they were excited when they got the organic! XD
ruclips.net/video/RhUopkDYkQA/видео.html OMG this is so satisfying!!!!
@Lifted Sailboat look, I agree with the GMO (even though that leads, if unregulated, to careless owners that throw pesticides everywhere and contaminate big áreas), but the organic bit, at least in my country was a great way for new, little producers to sell their produces in new markets. I don't care if they are or not better, it was a way of taking the markets away from a few!
GMO is not the same as hybridisation or selective breeding. The orange carrots thing has nothing to do with GMO.
Don’t get organic mixed up with non gmo, the point of organic is that in theory they don’t spray them with pesticides. If so it makes some sense that monkeys wouldn’t choose to eat the peel if it has pesticide residue, but if it doesn’t have pesticides on it then they might eat it with the peel.
Ann: “Where on earth did they get this idea?!”
Them: Banana Boat is a brand of sunscreen so maybe regular bananas will do the same thing...?
What if banana boat got their branding from this myth?
@@evelyncortus1274 *gasp*
Hey the real banana probably gave the same protection as a banana boat product 😂 I mean after so many people got absolutely burned red when using their products! stop buying from this shit brand.
I heard banana boat is bad?
and if not thets make them appear to do so by conning the viewers
Love the video! Id like to add something about the banana peel "meat" tho, it is actually pretty common for vegans! Like ann said, it doesn't directly substitute animal meat because it doesn't have much protein, but it is actually delicious in a sandwich or any other meal as a matter of fact! But an useful tip is to put it in water with some lemon juice for a few minutes before cooking to get rid of any bitter taste it may have. Its also incredibly common to eat whole bananas in meals in Brazil! Like, with rice, beans, vegetables, salads, farofa, many people throw in a banana as well! There are even meals whose main ingredient is banana, like a banana moqueca 😋
I thought it was weird how ignorant Ann was about banana peels. She did so much research about plenty of other aspects in the video, and then with the peels she just kept repeating "banana peels are for hard times" instead of just doing a quick google to see what cultures use whole bananas in their meals. It felt really dismissive, like because she was not culturally accustomed to eating banana peels, she didn't think anybody would/should want to eat them.
I love eating cooked banana peels! I even have a “banana peel facon” recipe where I scrape off as much of the white part as possible, marinate the unshredded peels in salt, pepper, canola oil, and smoke flavor for a couple hours, and pan fry on a low temperature until crispy. It’s not exactly bacon of course, but it’s a good crisp, smoky, sandwich topping that doesn’t make me think of dog treats like some of the commercial vegan bacon substitutes available…
@@nataliemozart5698 maybe different cultures don't get the same bananas as the ones that have to import them? She did point out that the bananas are spayed with pesticides. So they would have to properly washed.

@@Kaeracter I wouldn’t say it’s lacking effort when other creators don’t research every detail on the topic they’re discussing (excluding those who try to pass their personal thoughts as facts, of course). A lot of it just comes from not knowing exactly how to look for the most accurately presented source. The reason Ann makes it look so effortless is due to the fact this was once a very big part of her job, pre-RUclips. She’s a qualified food scientist and dietician. She’s most accurate because she had prior knowledge on the topic.

A thing I find terrifying, is with the UV beads - the ones with the banana had a stronger color *than the control.* Of course, it could be just because the video is messing with the actual picture, but I still find it scary, that people could actually try this hack and get horrible sunburns.
I mean don't worry, it can't possibly be worse than nothing, it can't somehow generate more UV rays. But like use sunscreen it's basically a miracle medicine.
That test with the UV beads busting the banana peel thing was amazing, and thank you for doing it. What a beautiful example.
A really good way to show the concept, plus it really made me want some of those beads!
Ann, could you do this bead test with a turmeric paste? I’ve heard turmeric makes a decent sun protection. I’m looking for something natural, as I have concerns about the ingredients in most sunblocks.
@@karenramnath9993 From my very non-expect research, this test wouldn't really show any benefits from that. It seems the potential turmeric effect is it might help prevent the body's production of enzymes associated with sun damage - I'm not seeing anything that it actually blocks UV.
There are 'natural' sunblocks out there. Ones with titanium dioxide and zinc are most common, I think. They're often not very 'pretty' to use since they can be more visible, but both are natural minerals that can protect the skin. But turmeric probably wouldn't be pretty, either. It's very intensely yellow/orange and can temporarily color skin it has prolonged contact with.
@@karenramnath9993 Curcumin (the relevant component of tumeric) appears to reduce the amount of reactive oxygen species from UV-A radiation, based on tests with cell cultures. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5928684/
However, that does not constitute a sun screen/block. All commercial tumeric formulation use zinc dioxide, as it is a UV-B blocker. And really, at that point, you should really just use a UV-A/B formulation, which is the general recommendation by doctors.
What are your concerns about the ingredients?
I had no idea those beads existed! Now I want to get them and show my “who needs sunscreen” family that THEY need sunscreen.

@@HowToCookThat Thank you, always love your videos
@@craftytester-testinglifeha3299 Same! I always learn interesting stuff in these videos.
Ok I know this is an older video but:
the banana and chocolate is something I used to do as a kid... but only on a barbecue while camping. The textures a lil weird but it basically tastes of banana and chocolate. The draw was having a sweet desert that you could also barbeque, and didn't need much packing or any cleaning when you were in the wilderness. It was sweet and kinda fun but not something I'd ever feel the need to replicate outside of those circumstances lmao
I'm ok with GMOs. Humans have been changing fruits and vegetables since the start of farming. Of course testing should be done to ensure it's safe to eat but I see no reason to why we shouldn't be using everything can to provide food.
Bunny War i think the real concerns are more about the loss of biodiversity and the dangers of monocultures
@@sophiatomlinson1231 From the video itself, monoculture is the reason that the fungus is killing all the banana plants. Monoculture is not exclusively a GMO problem, a huge number of non-GMO crops are already grown in monoculture
@@sophiatomlinson1231 Thing is look at our public markets. We get the SAME foods shipped EVERYWHERE. Many fruit species are dying out because companies don't want to waste the time to cultivate them. FYI I bet there are hundreds of fruits you've never heard of. GMOs aren't about killing biodiversity. Humans are doing that already. Sometimes it's being used to keep biodiversity. Monocultures? We eat the same few breeds of potatoes, strawberries, carrots, wheat, and corn with few exceptions. If we were to have a similar fungus killing wheat or corn like the fungus killing bananas the millions would die from hunger until farmers switched to another major crop.
@@aodhstormeyes Thanks for the explanation.
X-rays, DDT, Lipitor, lead and microwaves we're all thought to be safe at some point. In particular Lipitor and a lot of other drugs were tested to heck and back, and passed all kinds of tests. Agent Orange was supposed to be safe, too, but it caused cancer in people who handled it. Oh, the non-stick coating on pans, that is really bad for people who work with it.
Despite the evidence about lead, people kept using it until modern medicine tested it.
Now there are all kinds of tests that show vitamins and supplements are causing cancer.
Someone told Benjamin Franklin that lead in typesetters printing letters caused medical problems, so he washed his hands after using. But you never heard of him avoiding lead paint. Also no one knew about asbestos then, and he handled some, he was given some asbestos cloth. He died of an abscess on his lung, which is where asbestos fibre settles and causes tumors and cancer.
So just because we seem to know more now than we ever did, does not mean we know everything.
And just because kind considerate scientists who got straight As in physics, chemistry and biology performed the tests, that does not mean that GMOs are perfectly harmless or that there are not reasonable alternatives.
I think people often or sometimes disregard what they know, or do not communicate it when appropriate. So how can everything get done perfectly if the world is full of mistake makers and even deliberate jerks.
How can anyone say perfectly safe when it's been said before, and turned out to have some danger.
Rice is full of lead, because it absorbs it from water, which had it because of pollution.
The calcium in milk is worse than none at all, because of lactose turning to lactic acid in the body. So unless rennet or lactase enzyme is added, you are worse off to drink milk for calcium.

“A lie can travel around the world and back again while the truth is lacing up its boots.”-Mark Twain
That's because lies have the advantage of being able to morph until they are palatable. Whereas truth has to have that pesky problem of conforming to reality.
@@brackcarmony6385 That's only a small part of it. The larger problem, I think, is that coming up with a lie is fast and easy, whereas demonstrating the truth is far harder. I could say a lie, and by the time you're done debunking it, I could have said fifty other lies in the meantime.
The irony here is that isn't a Twain quote...
@@AranelEnMirkwood lol rip
@@AranelEnMirkwood Also, Colin Kaepernick credited Churchill for saying, "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."
But according to PolitiFact, "This is a quote that often is attributed to the British prime minister, but there’s no record of him saying it. But that’s a common mistake, experts told us. The line has grown and evolved - and then credited to different people - many times over hundreds of years, potentially starting with a version by Swift in 1710.
This is a broken play by Kaepernick. We rate it False."
(The Swift version, according to PolitiFact)
"Falsehood flies, and the truth comes limping after it," Jonathan Swift wrote in The Examiner in 1710.
"I should note that it's possible, though maybe not terribly likely, that the metaphor wasn't entirely Swift's," Bonnie Taylor-Blake (a neuroscience researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and amateur etymologist) said. "He may have adapted it from an earlier, now-unknown form, even a version not then in English."

Not going to lie, as a scientist myself it is almost heartbreaking to hear how many people are against or frankly afraid of GMO when it comes to food. It could partially be due to the fact that scientists have long been in isolation in their ivory towers away from these discussions, away from policy. This allowed for so much fear-driven misinformation to be put out there, but I am hopeful that we will continue on the path of opening up these conversations and clearing up some of the ambiguity, so thank you Anne. Thank you Anne for including evidence based information on your channel. Research is a golden skill so many of us lack and it could be a key to a better future and seeing you might encourage or influence us viewers to hone in that skill. Without these diseases that are affecting crops world-wide, simply looking at how rapid the human population is growing and our food resources, a food shortage crisis is unavoidable. Opening the conversations more and more around GMO is the glimmer of hope we have to be more comfortable with where our futures are headed. Lots of love to you and your team, How To Cook That, keep up the good work.
@SeriousName I don’t think I said that, but for what it’s worth, GMO doesn’t mean cancerous. This is the misinformation I mentioned ^^
@Glunck if we figure out a GMO banana strain that can taste good and is resistant to the disease then we don’t have to ^^
@SeriousName GMOs have been proven multiple times to have absolutely no effect on the body in any way. GMO food has the exact same effect on the body as non-GMO food. sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2015/will-gmos-hurt-my-body/
The thing is many people didnt know that lots of everyday food is genitically modified...if im not mistaken corn was very thin looking plant and are quite hard to eat..i am sure if gmo wasnt discovered, we would have lots and lots of food problems worldwide..not to mention gmo's help reduce the usage of pesticide and herbicide
@@fadhilaiman7812 exactly, we've been (indirectly) genetic modifying food for centuries. From prettier and more fruity fruits to wolly sheep and now deform dogs. Genetic modification is just a normal process. We've been crossbreeding the best of the best to ensure the genes we want
I’m indifferent toward gmos. We’ve been selectively breeding animals and plants to some degree since man learned how to domestic animals and farm. It’s things like the banana trees that make me feel grateful that science has come so far! This will save the lives of rural communities!
Then why are you merely indifferent? Shouldn't GMOs be something you support?
Selective breeding takes place over larger timescale, and generations. There is more chance to discover unintended effects. And even when humans use selective breeding, we have gone too far - thus the number of "purebred" dog breeds with genetic issues such as snub-nosed pugs with breating issues and bulldogs with pelvises so small they are much more likely to die trying to birth their large pups. The problem with GMO is not being aware enough of our own hubris, and of science and speed outstripping our ethics and understanding of effects farther along in time.
@@PeaceLoveHonor Selective breeding does no such thing, throughout most of history people were eating pretty dangerous things with no knowledge of it because they lacked the tools of science. Pig meat for example can easily get infected with an undetectable parasite that only became detectable with modern science. Tobacco was also bred over millenia and that turned out to literally just poison. It was only science that was able to discover the danger these things posed, simply having a lot of time did fuck all. Modern GMOs are much safer because they are created in controlled environments and have to undergo rigerous testing to ensure their safety, including long term decades long longitudinal tests. They usually also have much stricter safety requirements with the EU demanding regular retrials, this makes them arguably some of the safest foods to eat, the safety standards for GMOs are closer to those of medicine than other types of food.
that scientist is saving lives. the fact that anyone was able to figure out how to prevent tr4 infection makes me all emotional.
5:53 You're being rather generous. The color seems significantly more intense with the banana peel covered beads as opposed to the control, so if anything this is actually worse than doing nothing at all.
I felt same
i was hoping other people noticed that as well. maybe the sugars in the banana or something does something
Someone said that the brown from the banana against the colours could make them look darker. Not sure though
@@mikecroston9420 Of course it would. If you think about what happens to a banana when you cut it and leave it out even for a little while - it will turn brown very quickly. Same happens when you've rubbed it all over a surface and even faster, because the "smear" is in a very thin layer.

"It's been a long year."
We had a tree of lady finger bananas, and to get them to ripen well we had to pick them while they were green and put them in a bowl with some already yellow bananas. You could see the green bananas slowly turn yellow based on what banana was closest to the yellow ones! It was really cool!
The banana "sunblock" ones look like they got even more sun than the original ones! Yikes!!

I had multiple bad sunburns as a child because I lived on the bay during the summer and we had a boat. So I spent a lot of time on the reflective water. Back then, when I was young, we did not use sunscreen the way we do today. We didn’t know how important it was. And as an adult I had melanoma once already and just recently I have some new growth that needs to be checked. Skip the banana peel and go to the store and get some sunscreen. Lol
Same, I had several bad sunburns as a kid. I would sometimes wear sunscreen, sometimes not. Id spend 2 weeks every summer with family in nevada where it would get extremely hot and id get very dark. My skin is naturally brown, but not very dark brown. Now that I'm in my 40s I've been getting super paranoid about how much time i spent In the sun as a kid and how many peeling sunburns i had. I've got quite a few moles now, and recently had one biopsied. It was fortunately non-cancerous, but now I have to live with the decisions I made as a kid to spend so much time In the sun. I wish the adults around me wouldn't have let me make the choice myself and force me to put sunscreen on every time.
@@turtlepowersf yep the adults didn’t make me wear it either. SMH!
As a side note: Artificial banana flavour is actually the taste of the banana of yore that was wiped out as you said.
Artificial banana flavor is isoamyl acetate. Like many fruits, bananas get part of their flavor from an ester such as this. The gros michel banana may have had more isoamyl acetate than the cavendish does, but its flavor is due to a whole suite of chemical compounds. They do not taste like artificial banana flavor or banana candy.
Yes and that banana i think tastes way better than the Cavendish. Imagine if they could find some genetic info of that old banana and clone the plants then genetically modify them to resist the disease. We could have 2 types of Bananas!
You can still get gros michel bananas, they just aren't as easy to find
@@mellie4174 The gros michel still exists, afaik, it just can´t be grown anywhere in large quantities because the fungus is still in the soil everywhere where bananas grow well.

The recipe you tried with the chocolate peices in the cooked banana is actually one of my family's favorite summer desserts, but we cook ours differently. We peel back the peel on a triangle piece on top of the banana but don't take it completely off, then we cut a piece out of the banana like they do, and we fill the hole in the banana with chocolate chips and marshmallows, sometimes the nephews and nieces do cut up candy bars with nuts or caramel or even cookies. Then we replace the peice of banana back on top the chocolate, place the peel back on top the banana, wrap the entire banana in foil and grill it on the barbeque for a few minutes. On our grill, it only takes about 2 minutes per side, but as each grill is different, it might be different on someone elses. You want the banana warm, but not cooked so much that it becomes liquid mush like the recipe in the video. you can eat it by itself like that or add ice cream on top depending on your mood. Anyway, I enjoy watching your videos, I binged on them all last night!
“I don’t know if you would want to eat banana peel” she says with the yuck face. “But let’s cook it up and give it to Dave to try” she says it was an evil smile. Lol 😆😆

@@bowmanc.7439 I... Untoasted buns? It happened right in front of me and I didn't even see it.
She didn't even warm them in the microwave, or they would have squished when pressured
I think another reason that Banana myth has persisted so strongly is because (where I live, at least. In FL in the US) bananas very often come with taped up stems.
I actually explained this to my niece the other day. They don't do that to keep them fresh, they do it to keep the hands together and discourage people separating and ripping the bananas apart. My guess is that people would pick the best bananas from each bundle and leave the bad ones, and rip off bananas tearing some of them open making them inedible.
Gullible dorks see that tape on the top and take it as evidence and confirmation bias runs rampant!
Where I live, people do rip off the good ones. In stores we doesn't have tape on the ends, so if I get to the banana boxes or shelfs too late, I'm left with a bunch of lonely, teared up bananas. People are monsters
Good point
Maybe the idea is transferred from tomatoes?
There is this advice of keeping the green stems on the tomatoes if they need to ripen a bit more, or removing it to keep them fresh longer.
Or is that also a myth?
I live in Colorado and we don't get taped ends in stores, but I find it helpful because my family has never eaten bananas fast enough to justify getting more than three or four at a time, we don't need to the whole "hand" and it's never been a problem. I've even bought single bananas before.
@@k.a.u.4599 Same, I'm usually the one who specifically looks for the bunch that only has 3 bananas left. They're super cheap but I hate wasting food, and I know if I freeze them I'll jut forget and they'll end up freezer burned before I find them again.

@@EssentialBlue supermarkets that wrap the banana stems usually do it because it keeps the bunch together and helps deter people from tearing off individual bananas and leaving or damaging the ones they don't want, making them less likely to sell. People don't usually buy 1 or 3 bananas unless they just want a snack for that day only or have a specific thing that they are using them for.
Granted, I would not be surprised if some of them use foil as a marketing tactic to make people that have heard of this subconsciously think that they are getting a better or fresher product.

As a baker at the Cheesecake Factory, I can tell you that hanging your bananas does absolutely nothing to stop them from browning
Hanging bananas keeps mine from bruising and spoiling faster. When I set them on my counter, they always get bruised where they are resting on the counter.
The only benefit of hanging is that the browning is more uniform compared to the bruising that occurs wherever the peel touches a surface.
@@grecomici can see that, but we basically have to replace our bananas almost daily. My boss usually says as long as the inside is healthy and mostly uniform, it's safe to use, other than just running out due to the day before :P

@@lindsayf9225 Indeed. If anything genetic modification is actually saving the Cavendish banana from the consequences traditional cultivation has created with the plant being bred to be seedless and thus sterile. Since all Cavendish banana plants are genetic clones of each other (they use cuttings from existing plants when planting new ones), that also makes them all susceptible to the same diseases, like the Panama disease mentioned in the video.
To put it simply; without genetic modification the Cavendish banana would have died out.

“Just one bad sunburn doubles your risk of getting melanoma as an adult!”
Me remembering all the bad sunburns I got when I was little: (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)
Eek
Just be vigilant with your skin and mention concerns to your gp quickly. Melanoma is the most common cance, but it also has the highest survival rate because you can easily inspect yourself for suspiciously shaped or fast growing moles and catch the cancer early. It's okay! This is within your control
Worth it to be cautious, but also worthwhile to contextualize the risk. The American Cancer Society says that in 2020, about 100k melanoma cases will be diagnosed, and 7k people will die from it. Lifetime rates vary by ethnicity, but for the highest risk group, "white" people it corresponds to a lifetime risk of 2.6%, about 1 in 40.
That 2.6% includes all the people who engage in multiple high-risk activities, such as smoking, frequent sun exposure, and family history, so your risk may be quite different. If we double the lifetime risk, it's only 5.2%, a little more than 1 in 20. Also, even if you get it, we can see from the diagnosis vs death numbers that the mortality rates are pretty low.
So yeah, wear sun screen and UV-blocking clothing, don't spend too much time in the sun, don't smoke, get certain kinds of moles checked by a doctor, etc. but also remember that anything you read/hear about multiplying risk means very different things depending on what the baseline risk is to begin with.
It doubles if I ever had sunburn, or with every sunburn? Because if it is with everysunburn I really hope that the first number was really, really low. We are talking about undetectable low.
Me, a person that's a descendant of like 10 millennia of Indian farmers and lives in Florida: lol what's a sunburn
Hey, we actually made banana boats at summer camp when I was a kid! Peel a strip off the peel, scoop some out, fill it with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips, cover it back up with the peel, wrap in tin foil, then toss it in the campfire!
Can confirm though, it will straight up burn your mouth.

I'd wager chimps wouldn't fall for the guff 5 minute crafts are peddling either. 😆
some eat them whole, altho that might be an individual’s preference :)
one of my favorite naturalist authors, Gerald Durrell, had a section in one of his books (probably A Zoo In My Luggage, but im not sure, dont have it with me rn) where he discussed the feeding habits of five chimps, three of which would happily eat hardboiled eggs, while the other two were deathly scared of the same; and four of whom would eat oranges as we do, discarding the peel & eating the pulp, while the last would throw away the orange and munch on the peel. so iddefinitely believe that a monkey might eat a banana whole, as ann did tell us the peel isn’t toxic.
Imagine walking into Anne's house and seeing dozens of bananas EVERYWHERE
I was waiting to hear that someone in the household had eaten the control bananas 😁
I would just ask when the banana bread was being made
I would be... concerned
But also interested
The Chocolate-Banana is actually really famous here in Switzerland, but we wrap it in aluminium-foil and put it in a fire or on the grill. It taste actually delicious.😋
I wanted to say something similar. I love cooked banana. Usually roasted, not microwaved, but thay’re so good. I grew up making them with sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon more often, but chocolate is good, too.
Yes, we do this in the UK, normally wrapped in foil and put in a bonfire on bonfire night
YES, we do that here in Sweden as well.
We do that while camping in the us.
Edit: I don't know if this is actually a us camping thing but I know that my family does that and we live in the U.S. probably most people who camp do it.
I was scrolling through the comments to see if anyone had said that :)
I’m autistic and bananas are my biggest food aversion but I like Ann’s videos so much I still watched it!
Huh. Found my opposite i guess. I'm autistic and i would do most things for a banana at anytime. I ate 5 bananas in one go once--
The banana+chocolate thing is a campfire treat. You put chocolate and marshmallow in it, tinfoil it and cook it on a barbeque or in a campfire. Microwave works too I guess. It's amazing.
There are specific kinds of banana that can be cooked and taste right. Also, in the middle of the woods people will eat even tree bark and call it amazing
yeah we do it on the grill with bananas stuffed with mars or snickers
Yes, it’s called a banana boat. It was a Girl Scout staple!
I do that
A variation on this that I really enjoy is an ice-cream cone filled with marshmallow, chocolate, and banana slices all wrapped in foil and then cooked on a campfire.
Other people: 2020 has been a long year of isolations and pandemic issues
Dave: 2020 has been a long year of eating garbage food hacks
Dave is a real trooper. The things he tries yet he still comes back for more.
Yes poor Dave.
This ain’t Ann. She fed Dave food that wasn’t cursed. She must be a cake...
Yes I’m pretty sure she isn’t Ann, where’s the cursed, disappointing foods? There is also no microwave messes, like cake being bakes to long
Super surprised nothing was baked/exploded....

Ann, please do a video debunking people's fear of GMO! I want people to know about corn, Lenape potatoes and golden rice.
There is reason to fear GMO - just not the "reason" that gets hyped. GMO corn escaped from its trials. It wasn't properly regulated and there weren't enough controls on it. Once it was already in the wild, though nobody yet knew its potential impact, it was given regulatory blessing anyway. The fear should rightly be placed on the knowledge that we don't yet fully understand the impact over time of even small changes we make on single plants, in the larger ecology, and we aren't working as hard as we should to deal with that, and the ethics around it. GMO science has enormous potential for good - but also the reverse is true.
@@PeaceLoveHonor The same can be said about traditional breeding. By tweaking a selected gene you know exactly what will happen, traditional crossing and breeding is playing Russian roulette every time.
