Being eccentric is actually good for your health. Eccentrics live longer and are healthier than the normal population. Asmon is an eccentric, he's also reaping the benefits. I also think he doesn't worry as deeply as others, who have mainstream issues. Good for Asmon :)
The absolute dichotomy of Asmon saying some of the most grounded and intelligent takes then 5 minutes later going “what the fuck is cholesterol” is my favorite thing to see
@@StevenP726 1.8 Liters. He said he drinks up to two of those Big Gulps which are 0.9 not a can which is 330ml. There's no medical proof that drinking diet soda has any negative effects and this guy had to drink like 4x what Asmond drinks FOR TEN YEARS before anything bad happened. So like yeah he's fine, but don't try and be dishonest about facts.
Hold on though, cholesterol isn't fat, you need fat. Saturated or poly, or whatever except trans fat. Trans fat (from ham burgers n fast food oil) increase your cholesterol Build Up of Plaque, In your arteries. If it builds up too much, your veins get narrow, and you increased risk of stroke and heart attack. My aunt suffered three till she got a stint, unfortunately she had past. But, don't be afraid of fat. It's not bad at all. Fat doesn't, Make you u fat. The amount of calories you eat does
2L bottle of regular coke is ~800 calories. When he made life changes, he "reduced" this to only 2 bottles which is 1600kcal of pure fructose syrup. So before the intervention, he drank ~3000 calories of soda. Since he was not morbidly obese, it means he didn't take a lot of calories from other sources, so he literally starved his organism from micronutrients.
funny thing is sometimes he gives good life advices, but he lives like a cave troll. And he recognize he lives like a degen and choose to be one, as if him recognizing it makes it any better. My man is a paradox, like hes probably the wisest in otk but doesnt like to drink water because it doesnt taste good (which is such a children mentality). Man i hope he takes his diet seriously in the future.
It's funny to me how well-informed and surprisingly deeply thoughtful Asmon is in some areas while being totally oblivious even to the basics in many others. Going from being intellectually stimulated by his arguments in the previous video to "What is cHoLeSteRoL? It's fat? GROSE" is like a cold shower
Do you really expect someone to be all knowing and wise? We're talking about asmongold here. He's just a gamer that people can relate to because of world of warcraft.
Seems to me he's kidding. He obviously doesn't know much about the subject but he glanced over it in a joking/dismissive way Edit: also I don't think he or most of his fanbase consider him as an intellectual. He has educated takes on the subjects that his channel focuses on, ie gaming and content creation.
@@faizalf119 I obviously don't. I just mentioned it because as I said I went from one extreme to another in about 10 minutes. Wasn't expecting either of those.
I have never been able to figure out if he just plays that part. I feel like he does simply because he seems too intelligent at times to be oblivious. He enjoys his degen style and doesn't seem to care that he'll have serious health issues by the time he's 45-50.
Sugar and carbs are actually a lot worse for your health than eating a bit of fat. Also if you know how to cook steaks properly, you eat the fat happily lol
@@laurentbial2055fat is also a nutrient, needed for cell membranes and the brain (omega 3). And also fat makes people feel saturated earlier, which contributes to lower overall calorie intake.
As a former medical professional I can say the amount of people that sneak and hide stuff into the hospital rooms happens a lot. Like someone will be on a strict diet plan and someone will bring them mcdonalds. They tend to be some of the worst patients.
Was in the hospital with suspected meningitis back in 2021. Didn't so much sneak things in, but rather flaunted the fact that I wasn't going to eat the hospital food by ordering groceries and getting my friend to bring in a blender. Started making my own salads, humus, smoothies... Then got told to stop when I tried getting the same friend to bring me a hot plate. They also got mad that I was cleaning my own room with cleaning supplies that I'd ordered through Door Dash.
@@nignog5001 Tbh, this was in Ireland's worst hospital (UHL), so the actual nurses didn't care what I had in my room. For all they cared, I was doing lines of coke while they weren't there. It was security that had issues.
You'd be surprised how non-compliant patients AND their families can be because they're not properly informed of disease processes or they think they know better
last year I was send to the ER by my regular physician - when the ER asked me what the problem might be I could only give very vague answers and point them to the paperwork the family doctor handed me. Communication and explanation is a real problem and I believe the issue is that the doctors are just hopelessly overworked and somehow have to manage the patient flow. (Ended up beeing a false alarm in my case)
From my experience, the distrust of doctors for me is why I do my own analysis. I had a pain that was irregular for my age, I told them where that pain was and when it occurred. They told my parents it was my gal bladder. I didn't trust them, years later after a few pains, I decided to figure out this problem. Instead of wasting money for experts, I did my own research for free. I came to the conclusion, it was inflammation in my pancreas. Knowing the doctors would prescribe terrible medicines, I instead figured out what was causing these inflammations. It started in my teenage years from eating junk food, I stopped eating that junk food. I stopped drinking those drinks that had those chemicals that inflammated my pancreas. In the mornings rarely it happens, I don't yet know why it happens. Eating healthy, like fruits and veggies and drinking water dosent cause it. I don't drink sodas or eat too much junk. Considering the doctors gave me adhd medicine when I was very young, and it screwed me up, I never trusted doctors or nurses, and I still don't. I don't want to pay a huge hospital bill either. Unless the situation is an actual emergency, I don't see myself going to the hospital or clinic willingly.
Yeah well the other problem is these diseases take decades to manifest and don’t tend to have symptoms until the end stage - T2DM, HTN and heart disease.
A perfect example of “being smart doesn’t mean you know everything.” Knowledge bases are really unique to each person based on their lifestyle and career paths.
What makes asmon seem smart is his willingness to ask questions and actually watch alternate perspectives. He does say some wild shit sometimes though lol
To clarify as a Type 1 Diabetic myself, Type 1 is a chronic illness you're just kind of born with until it shows it's ugly face and your life is never the same again. Type 2 is the result of poor diet and lifestyle that results in your pancreas being strained because you've overworked it.
I hope you are doing well bubba, my brother was diagnosed when he was nine. Type 1 and he just couldn't control himself, eventually he went into full Renal failure, dialysis the whole thing. He passed at 30 years old. I hope you are living well and staying healthy.
I have diabete 1 too got it t 15(18 now) Dont know if its becuse I got it early but my life didnt change that much Also its pretty funny cuz when I say that I have diabete no one believe me(im pretty skinny)
There is also Type 3. Can be caused while pregnant or from viral damage to the pancreas. In my case from H1N1 swine flu. It infected my pancreas and killed off a bunch of beta cells so I still produce insulin but not enough.
Type 2 is uncontrolled insuline resistance due to excess sugar and carbs in your diet. If you have a fat belly, I have news for you: you are insuline resistant and are on your way to diebetes some day, when your body finally can't take it anymore.
I got a kidney stone in Japan. I was drinking no water at all, just trying different sodas and teas every day for months. I didn't know what it was, I just peed blood red and went to the hospital. I got a scan, the doctor showed me every layer of my body in HD and pointed at a white dot in one kidney. It was tiny. Total cost of the visit was $100. I'm really, really glad it happened in Japan. I got even luckier when it passed without any pain at all.
You are incredibly lucky I had to pass a fucking kidney stone on my first deployment. Grey water is no joke, had the camp doctor congratulate me because I passed a massive stone, I passed out multiple times from the sheer pain and multiple hits of morphine didn't help either. Come to find out later in life passing a stone is worse than child birth especially for men. So keep drinking water and keep your eye on your kidneys.
@@mojavecourier6987 He probably meant he had no idea what was wrong with him when he started experiencing symptoms, not that he doesn't know what a kidney stone actually is.
Same with my dad when we lived in Okinawa. My husband though has chronic ones, and we're back in the states. He knew he had one, went to the ED to try to just get some pain meds cause it was on the more excruciating side. Actually passed it before he even got in the room and we STILL got a bill for 2k... told him to get it gold plated cause that was the most expensive piss he'd ever have. Gotta love America!
It is ironic how much he tried to get his mom to stop smoking because he knew it was gonna kill him... yet he is oblivious to the fact that his own eating, drinking and living habbits and lack of physical exercise will prolly kill him at about the same age... Not trying to judge him. I eat and drink too unhealthy aswell and even smoke. But atleast I have a physical job and get alot of exercise through that... And I am aware...
@@JokerInk-CustomBuilds If I remember right, Asmon was trying to get her to stop smoking not because it was just unhealthy, but because she also had underlying issues and already bad health that the smoking was exacerbating the issue. So, it's a bit different. But yeah, Soda very bad.
@@JokerInk-CustomBuildsWe all know what we should do with our diet and physical activity. Your will determines what you actually do. Connect your reality to your will and you can do it. Try to eat clean for 30 days. No sugar, low carb, low fat, high protein. Exercise at least 20-30 mins per day, minimum 3× per week and see how you feel. What do you have to lose?
@@JokerInk-CustomBuildshe said multiple times in this video alone that he's aware that his lifestyle is unhealthy, so not sure why you are saying he's 'oblivious'. People tend to understand pretty well what's good for their health and what's not.
Emu's video rings almost true to what i did a few years ago, drank like 3/5 cans a day, then at some point i would get very loose stools, accompanied by a stomach ache, naturally i stop drinking soda for at least 2 days or so, while drinking something else in that time like water. Present day i drink alot more water but not close to the daily needed amount (5 to 7 16 oz bottles) I don't drink soda as much as i used to as i don't buy the 24 can containers anymore, but only go to the local fast food joint and get a large size, in a sense i suppose i'm limiting my self in a way. But now knowing that excessive sugar intake damages nerves and so on, it rings a bell on why sometimes my legs just give out and i tend to trip while walking, and the legs feeling weak, I also have nerve damage from birth called cerebral palsy, it's a weakness in limbs/nerves, now watching this video made me realize i'm killing my self, albeit very slowly. There were times i had heart palpitations, body obviously telling my something obvious to cut back on the soda. It's crazy how i saw my self being "Hosted" in that video, it was like a swift realization. I was like: "Oh shit, that's me." Going off tangent here: In regards to the workout regimen, i presume you have a fast metabolism, otherwise drinking soda and eating any kind of fast food or not a healthy diet will net you quite a bit of fat. I'm kind of in the same way, i don't really workout, i consume probably an unhealthy amount of fast food, and i can eat ONLY pizza for 1 week but still skinny as a twig. I'd have to eat til i get sick to even gain weight. Last i tried an honest "food buff" to gain weight, it was exhausting as hell, eating like a litteral horse in the morning, when lunch came around, i wasn't even hungry but i still had to stuff my self. Just doing that got me 10 kilograms in like 2 weeks or so. It was like a losing war effort.
Increase meat and get on a universal supplement (AG1, Onnit, etc), take probiotics (Thrive, Onnit), and go on walks every day. Don't eat anything processed (you can have one or two cheat days a week while getting started). Skinny people think they can separate exercise from diet because their not fat, but your metabolism varies based off activity. You will not replenish deficiencies if you don't change behavior in conjunction with diet. You also won't feel as hungery without burning some calories. Even if you're not working out, you MUST decrease sedentary behavior and make room in your schedule for more activity. This is why walks are underrated. The most important thing is consistency. Make small changes and keep up with them for at least 3 months before adding the next step. It's hard to change habits, but once normalized, everything is infinitely better.
Unfortunately that is a thought that I had and I don't need much effort to believe you. Has almost the same vibe as eating food before surgery when you were to told not to eat. I just don't understand how people can be that stupid, not ignorant, in this case, really stupid. Like the doctors already told you you are diabetic, why the hell do you think you need to pump mountains of sugar in liquid form into your body? The husband might be not at his best mental health at that moment, but dear goodness, the wife might have had a thought or two. Did people give up using that thing between their ears? I mean he had enough sugar to keep his brain going at least, might as well use it. These people, like, damn...
@@murtangames Yeah pretty much 💀 The official title is dietary aide, but it's pretty much just a fancy term for hospital kitchen slave/waiter. I won't deny that it's a pretty shit job. It is what it is atleast for now.
@@d1oftwins It's also pretty common to see situations where patients get super pissy whenever they don't get what they asked for on the menu despite having certain health issues like diabetes/heart problems. We had this one dude who was 600-700lbs sneaking in bottles of tabasco from home (parents probably brought them) despite being on a low carb/low sodium/low fat diet (yikes) . The problem was that he'd clear one bottle every day/2 days.. I'm surprised he's still alive.
@@waifudestroyer2120 I shouldn't be surprised I guess. In my head it sounds like "I am pissed that I don't get what I want, despite me exactly knowing my diet is tied to my health conditions, but if something goes wrong I will just totally sue you, 'cause personal responsibility is for strong minded people, and that is definitely not me.". Maybe I just expect the worst from people. 🤷♂
I saw something similar to this and stopped drinking all soda 11 years ago. I do remember going through sugar & caffeine withdrawal. Truth is, everything in moderation would save a lot of people trouble.
So, this is embarrassing and revealing of my stupidity, but I've been addicted to energy drinks for a while. I was drinking three, sometimes four a day. The last two days, I've switched to drinking Gfuel, and yesterday, I had a total of three cups, about 450 mg of caffeine, and realized I drink far too much caffeine than I should. I'm shooting for two cups, which will be normal for the recommended FDA caffeine intake for an adult (about 300-400mg). Just wanting to talk about my addiction journey. I know, I'm stupid, but that is the nature of being a drug addict.
@@Remedy462 bro. keep your caffeine away from you. if you have any in your house, either give them away or put them away in an inconvenient spot. staying around an addiction enables you to keep doing it. avoid being around it and deal with the withdrawals. you are probably already used to being extremely energetic, meaning the withdrawals will make you feel extremely tired and exhausted. make sure that you go through the withdrawals during days where you wont need to do anything, preferably a weekend. if your body get's used to going without extra caffeine then you'll stop feeling tired and start feeling normal. think about why you are addicted. did you feel the need to consume energy drinks and a bunch of caffeine because you felt tired? was it simply convenient to keep cans of energy drinks instead of going and drinking water? determine the reason, and this will tell you whether you can continue to drink caffeine in moderation or if you have to stay away completely.
Sugar withdrawal is kinda rough. What happened to you? I had night sweats so bad and felt ill for a week. Now I cut all that out and try to only eat natural sugars like fruit
@@Remedy462this might sound silly but just don't buy it. If I have the stuff in my house it's hard to control myself. But I just don't buy it and then after awhile you'll get used to it. Just find a juice you like or water
Had a friend that was so addicted to Mountain Dew Code Red that he would put it in his cereal. He got kidney stones in his early 20s and immediately went cold turkey on sugar. 😂
why wait until you got stones, i had a fatty liver and gal stones mid 30 thanks to soda and all the other sugar, switched my diet, i would have done that earlier if i knew.
@@decree72 I got kidney stones when i was 30, managed to dissolve it completely with the help of a lot of water everyday and drinking white radish(daikon) juice that is blended(tastes pretty nasty), i used to drink ice lemon tea with alot of sugar in it almost everyday every night, now i only try to drink it from time to time and always alot of water everyday.
1:46 PFFF HAhahhaha even Asmonds subtle nods and gestures of acknowledgement makes me burst out laughing hahah dudes prob not even trying to be funny but to me its comic gold...
I used to drink two energy drinks per day for a few years. My health wasn't really effected by it, but one day i decided to do the math of how much it was costing me and found out my yearly spending on energy drinks alone was something like $2,900 or there about. That alone turned me off of drinking anymore soda of any kind lol.
i go to the coffee shop almost every single day and generally get a latte everytime, i spend around $4 each time, so thats around $1400 a year on coffee😂
I am turning 41 and I will say that through your 30's (at least for me) is when health issues like anxiety, depression, "pre"-diabetes and high blood pressure arose. The diabetes and high blood pressure were mostly put in check by reducing alcohol (specifically beer) consumption. I found getting a standard panel blood test every year to significantly help in tracking this and keeping on top of it. Take care of yourself buddy!
Back injuries are no joke, they stick with you for the rest of your life. It's great to hear that you're starting to be more active and that you understand the human body is meant to be in motion, that will absolutely help you in the long run.
The water thing is 8-12 bottles of water consumption IN TOTAL, including food and drink. So if you eat a reasonably balanced diet with fruit and veg and have a couple glasses of water or even other drinks, you'll be just fine. Most people get a significant portion of their water intake from food.
Absolutely correct, although I doubt Asmon gets much water from his diet. Of course the water in soda does count, although it's not healthy. But fresh vegetables/fruits are much higher in water content than the grains/meats Asmon consumes.
@@benia1908 Yeah better to watch the urine color when using the toilet than a bottle count. Light yellow color is the target. Too dark a yellow is dehydrated. Totally clear is more H2o than necessary.
@@bl8388it's not more than necessary if it's clear, wtf are you saying, it's a lot of h2o, but that isn't a bad thing, usually it's completely fine or even better to have it clear, also pills influence the color of piss too, so if you take some medication it's normal to be darker yellow.
I probably drink 5-7 sodas a day and have for a long time (im in late 30s now). I know this may sound stupid but i never really thought about the negative effects. This video is literally the wakeup call I needed to re-evaluate the decisions I have made and make changes going forward. Scary stuff..
I’ve survived a diabetic coma twice. It is absolutely horrible. I can be considered extremely lucky since people my age barely survive it once. Stay healthy y’all
A lot of people have been misinformed as to how many glasses of water to drink. The "8 glasses a day" value was based on a study for *overall* water intake, much of which is included in food. Really it just comes down to drinking water when you're thirsty or drink enough to avoid becoming thirsty.
Yeah there are so much factors,like how big you are, what youre working, etc etc. But 2 liters are the general norm for the average Person i think, food is also containing water, so real glasses of water, just water probably like 1.5 , foods doing the rest i think (as long as its not American, especially fast food, but almost all American food would be considered fast food in most of the rest world, so ye)
@@AryanDuty14 No thats not true. Parts of the brain can only use glucose. Your body will synthesize glucose out of protein to run your brain. So you dont actually need to eat sugar to survive. But your brain wouldnt be able to run purely on ketones.
@@Midg-td3ty I mean yea i didnt say that anyway.. u would die without some glucose in your body. People who run on sugar eventually become demented tho because it is too much. Glucose being the preferred fuel for the brain is just a straight up lie told everywhere thats why I wrote the original comment. if u have 2 parts glucose and 1 part ketones ur brain will be fine with just using the ketones almost because its a much more efficient fuel that lasts longer, thats the whole point of fat - slow release energy

Asmon is indeed incredibly lucky. I also took pride in the fact that my health was relatively stable until the day I woke up in the hospital from a massive stroke 5 years ago. I'm now 33, permanently disabled as a result and it just sucks because there was really nothing I could've done to prevent it since it was bc I have a clotting condition that was never discovered.
im 34. I had a lung embolia 6 years ago. didnt know either, that I had a blood problem which resulted in high chances of blood clotting while just sitting. I survived it and take blood thinners ever since. my lung is though of a 60 year old now.
I feel for you both. It's not easy to correct our taught bad lifestyle choices. But it's possible to. Unfortunately for most of us, we won't truly accept this and make changes until we have some serious health event. By then, for many, it's already too late. I wish you luck.

Debuff comparison for caffeine is solid. I'd compare it to say, like poison build-up. Poison in this case = sleep. So you have a base sleep build up meter, but caffeine slows the build up, but never removes it. Eventually, the build up will overwhelm the slow effect and you'll have to sleep.
My wife and I quit soda 10 years ago. I remember we each lost about 10 lbs just from that alone. Now if I want something fizzy I have a carbonated water and add lime or lemon to it.
I make lemonade with carbinated water too, also to avoid soda drinks. Lemonade is also very nice and more refreshing even. Soda makes you thirsty because of the sugar
Once you went into a coma, your days are numbered. That's what happened to my dad. He had type 2 diabetes since 2006 taking diabetes tablets everyday (not injecting insulin yet) then we just saw him unconscious in a toilet in 2018. We rushed him to the hospital and he survived. His sugar level is 4x the normal because the body is not absorbing the tablets anymore and he went to injecting insulin. He died last 2021 because his body is not accepting the insulin too. The past few weeks before his death, whenever he eats he will just vomit it within 30 minutes. 2:22 made me remember all of it.
I'm amazed. 10 years is a long time. and drinking 7 liters of literally anything in one day is beyond the human body's cababilities. Even if you do it with clean drinkingwater!
Yes, many people don't realize or believe you can overdose on water if you drink too much too fast. It throws your electrolytes out of balance and can lead to the potassium/sodium/calcium problems shown in this video.
He clearly has an addiction going on. Even water can poison you if you drink too much too quickly but it barely ever happens because why would you chug 7 liters of water?
Well I think he was using it as his primary source of hydration and you would be surprised at the number of things the body just tolerates because there is an "easy" way to do so. His tolerance to the sugar and caffeine grew but his body kept staking damage, liver can heal but eventually things catch up and you get catastrophic kidney failure and everything is suddenly threwn out of balance. What's crazy to me is how he went so long without thinking "gee, drinking 7L of cola sure isn't normal". Like nobody close to him ever noticed his excessive addiction...? Weird.
1 200 IQ move 2 actually not incorrect but also I think caffeine has to work a different way, because this adenosine can't work this way, and the reason why I say it can't work this way, is, I understand if caffeine made you less tired, but caffeine can literally make you have a heart attack, how is that exactly the reduction of tiredness, that's literal stim territory. but that's just my opinion.
@@a-my9ql Caffeine has a similar structure than adenosine (witch makes you sleepy). That allows Caffeine to dock to the sensor that detects adenosine and therefore blocks it (it dosent triggers the sensore, but nothing else can dock to the sensor while Caffeine is sitting on it). So Caffeine dosent makes it that you dont see the stacks but more like it slows how fast you gain the stacks. Also with time the body starts to build more sensors for adenosine to balance out your daly Caffeine intake . This means that over time Caffeine becomes less effective (and you become resistant to it, so what Asmos says at 26:22 that he feel immune is explaned by this, even tho you cant get a 100% immunity but a high resistance) , however this reversible, if you stop drinking Caffeine you at first get sleepy faster (because you now have more sensors => you gain Stacks faster) but with time the aditional sensor will get removes until you go where you where befor initial Caffeine consumtion.
@@coliax8754 Each human is different. That's why I always recommend people to check what's wrong with them instead of seeking info about someone else's experience. I mean, I didn't use to like coffee, but I started to drink coffee because I found it as a good option to have the "taste" of something, it helps me to focus when I have a candy or stuff that has some flavor. And I didn't feel "energized" when I started to drink it. As matter of fact, never understood why some people are sleepy when they don't drink it. Or energized. For me, it's not different than drinking water. What I did found recently, is that apparently, if I spend too much time without drinking coffee I get headaches, so I started to reduce my coffee consumption and see if that helps, because I hate to have weaknesses, I'm a level 36, for fucksake, can't afford one of those till I reach 60.
2:40 So I don't think that its a sugarless drink unless it had Sorbitol or Maltitol as sweeteners! These sugar alcohols still do raise sugar levels in the system. ( Monk fruit and Erythritol are among the best but more expensive (especially monk fruit ) )
This is an 100% an addict, never thought someone should go to AA for soda, but here you have it. The internal dimila, like what support could he go to without feeling like an idiot? (Not calling him an idiot, addiction just makes you do idiotic things) This would be a hard road to recovering because realistically you'll have to be alone in this one.
I quit sodas back in 2018 and have felt better ever since. For like 1 week after quitting, I had such a terrible headache that not even Tylenol would handle. Probably caffeine withdrawals after consuming it for 20+ years.
After how many weeks did you feel better ? And after how much time did you feel the positive effects ? And what kind of effects ? I dont drink a lot of soda but more of iced tea kind of stuff with a lot of sugar too.
I can't stop and genuinely need help quitting. That headache you speak off drives me directly back to soda every. Single. Time. Just when through it yesterday, I made it to about noon before the headache was so bad I was ready to throw up even after a nap
@@shivur5073 You guys can make a dose reduction plan like a doctor would with drugs and medication. My Doc recommended this to me because I too had headaches and got super angry, super fast for any and all reasons. I had 5 Cups of sugary coffee per day and I stepped it down each passing week by one cup and I am back to 1 cup per day. So I am 4 weeks in.
I don't think it's just the caffeine, actually. Whenever I tried to quit drinking Coke, drinking coffee wouldn't ease the withdrawal. Nor would drinking a type of soda with caffeine, but without phosphoric acid ease it. I think it's about the combination of caffeine, sugar and phosphoric acid.
@@KaweilK It took me about 1-3 months for the cravings to stop, but feeling better happens pretty fast after the headaches go away. The high fructose corn syrup is the worst part, not the caffeine. You'll probably feel the difference from cutting out sugary iced tea too, but it's worth it
I used to be like this guy. I could go through a 12 case of any pop in a night or 2. I thought I was addicted to the caffeine or sugar. But I slowly figured out that it was tingly feeling after take a sip. That’s what I loved. Now I have a soda stream and drink carbonated water with sugar free crystal light. And my health is noticeably better. Pop is nice when I’m out for dinner. But I don’t buy it anymore
Within 10 yrs we ll be watching someone doing a reaction video on Asmon having had an issue healthwise due to soda, and he ll be like, " I don't understand what happened."
One of my favorite Asmon reactions in a while. Hot take - Asmon's best reactions are non-gaming related (internet historian, all gas no brakes, SunnyV2)
1:32 HHahjahahhHAHAHAHHA omg... i cant stop laughing.... listen and watch Az everyday at work, and most my night... Asmond you really are my best friend right now thank you for all you do... i dont laugh like this ANY time of the day for even months sometimes maybe even years...
The issue with your back Asmon is that you sit for long periods of time, which means your back muscles are underdeveloped. A strong abck is important for just keeping stability and all the discs and stuff in place. If you worked out lightly, or even stood up more often, your back problems would likely improve. Think about getting a better bed and a treadmill or standing desk that you can use for 1-2 hours a day and it will do wonders!
from my staying at hospital experience, albeit for a less mysterious problem, it is very easy for relatives to bring you any food or drinks same as take them back home unnoticed. nurses will typically go outside of your room when your relatives visit, so his wife could easily give him the soda and just put the empty cans back in the bag before anyone could see it
As a medical professional working in a large hospital, this was a very interesting watch to see a lay person’s thoughts and reaction to an extreme case of a very, very common issue
@@j2dzillak750 That was quite shocking. Probably just to see the level of understanding the average person would have about medicine/the body’s metabolic, physiologic and anatomical systems has to this degree. Over 7 years of studying, this stuff becomes rudimentary.
@@DrZoomer He's playing a character in acting more ignorant about things than he actually is, but it is always interesting to see what lay people's perceptions on things are.
Water the norm is 1.5 to 3 liters [(33.814 ounces to 101.442 ounces)0.26 gal. US to 0.79 gal- US] a day depending on size, wheight and exsercize you do. you can drink more but there is a point you might get swelling in youre brain and organs for overhidration that can cause more damage to youre body.
Honestly the thing that i pulled from this is the fact that the human body is an amazingly resilient machine. This man did this for over a DECADE and somehow didin't keel over.
I was born in 1991, when I was a teenager I didn't pay much attention, I ate a lot of fried food, avoided vegetables and fruits, and every day I drank 4 liters of coke. and then they appeared as an allergic reaction to an overdose of sugar redness all over the body the size of a table tennis ball. later when I cut out fried food and replaced it with cooked food, I stopped eating bread. And one note when eating vegetables and bread, the bread absorbs the vitamins from the vegetables like a sponge. that's why bread should be thrown out completely. when I stopped eating bread and increased the amount of vegetables and fruits. my health has improved. I rarely get sick, such as sneezing, a runny nose, and a bad cough.
Hey, Asmon! I wanted to pop in and say that the reason you don't feel like you could eat a lot of food is because you pay attention to your body's leptin, the hormone responsible for letting you know when you're full, whereas a lot of people who end up eating in excess are not as receptive to the signals they get from leptin. Usually, it's caused by either ignoring it and just eating the food anyway, or if you're genetically unlucky and are naturally unreceptive to leptin. Glad your pancreas can keep up with your soda intake!
The statement "8 bottles of water is normal" ( 16:02 ) depends on the size of the bottle. but if you have the standard ~17 fuild Ounce bottles, its around 7.3 bottles. recommended water intake is around 3.7 liters per day (~125 fluid ounces) BUT NOTE that im pretty sure this also include water that you get from food/etc.
The 8 8-oz glasses of water a day thing is, for lack of a better term, a myth. It's based on 'junk' studies, probably funded by water companies when they realized they could sell you bottled water to increase profits for basically something they could produce for pennies. It's like candy companies saying dark chocolate is good for you because it has antioxidants, so eat more chocolate. Smh. A healthy body has an amazing way to let you know when to drink water. It's called being thirsty.
I worked at a place that had a stocked kitchen. One fridge had beer and energy drinks. The other had water and soda. The cabinets were stocked with snacks of all variety. It really is a great perk.
This was me up until 6 few months ago. For 10 years straight, I drank 3 cans of (normal) dr pepper a day, and when I was at work I would get a 44oz dr pepper from the fountain at the gas station every morning to keep me through the day. Almost 7 cans a day. I literally never drank water once in those 10 years. Like the guy in the video I would also get four 35 packs from sam's club every time I went. I would occasionally get random pains in my stomach, and I would pee at least once an hour. Also I would rarely feel muscle weakness for no reason too. What made me stop was I was scared to death of getting kidney stones, and I felt pains in my stomach/abdomen and was scared it was kidney stones. It wasn't kidney stones and idk what it was but it was probably related to my dr pepper intake. About 6 months ago I switched to only drinking juices like lemonade, grape juice, and apple juice, but I found out that those in excess are bad too, so a month ago I finally switched to only drinking WATER.
Anything is bad in excess, by definition. I don't know how you get to the point of drinking that much of anything. Glad you've come to your senses though; congrats 👍
watching Asmonds reaction to his first chubbyemu video is gold. Ive been watching chubbyemu for 4 years now because I find the medical science and diagnosis and prognosis fascinating. Just wait if he sees the gas station sushi one
Phosphorus in soda is evil. It keeps you from rejecting the oversaturated sugar water in soda. Allowing more sugar in a soda thus making you crave it more because we innately seek out high caloric foods.
@@Miranox2 tastes better than water. Now I don’t drink 7 liters a day but come on drinking soda does suck. But there has been scientific study that your thirst can be quenched faster with soda over water. Everytime I drink water I’m more thirsty and can never quench my thirst. I drink one sip of soda boom not thirsty. So explain that?
I've watched his videos before, they're good. You should contact this guy and do a stream with him discussing your health, lots of people could benefit from it.
This dudes at most a nurse who's been through the ruts... Notice he's never giving personal experience. He's always telling you stories that you could probably find online. A lot of this shit I question because of that.
@@VickolaiHe has a PhD in pharmacy and is training in toxicology. In the description of his videos he literally states that all the stories he covers are from patients he or his colleagues have seen.
@@Vickolai Those are medical case reports which are an important part of medical research. Personal experience (anecdotal) counts for squat in any scientific field. One doctor obviously cannot get only far out cases, there's no real Dr. House. Case studies are an important part of medical education and are not just spread out on the internet but published in medical journals. There are tons of case studies you can find online too but I'd like to see you try present one like a med student to a journal club full of high schoolers.
Gout is a lesser known problem with prolong soda consumption, a long term study with a big number of subjects show that people drinking sugary soda often compare with people mainly drink diet soda or not regular consumption, the first group of subjects has much higher chance to get gout
43:03 If you don't move your body for anything you'll end up with muscular hypotrophy, also joint calcification, overall more inclined to getting sick and ironically more tired that if you exercise
If you can quit then that's perfect but if the craving for sugar becomes a lot then have some fruit instead of liquid candy. The fiber of a fruit slows down the conversion into blood sugar so you don't get the same big spike of blood sugar as drinking soda.
My dad was diabetic and he constantly needed to drink something, mostly alcohol to starve off the shakes. I saw him go into a diabetic stroke once, his tongue swelled up in his mouth if I didn't find him he would have gone into a coma. My dad was rail thin his whole life I'm pretty sure he got diabetes from drinking so much southern comfort
Ive had multiple kidney stones in my late teens, I stopped drinking Coca Cola. Its the most painfull thing ive been through. Ive been drinking alot of soda again from other brands, This video served as a good reminder. Got myself a water instead rn
Sounds a lot like when I became diabetic. I was sick for a month and up ever 20 to 30 min going to the bathroom and drinking 4 to 6 2 Liters of sugary soda. It got so bad I was unable to keep any food down and by the time I finely went to the doctors my sugar was so high the doctors were asking me how I was still walking... My sugar was over 700. and for those who don't know that is a crazy high number. 100 is baseline and 200 is high. Of coarse I became fully insulin dependent and had to change my diet. Over the next 10 years I had some ups and downs but I am now on a keto diet and it has been the best 3 months of the last 10 years so far. I still drink diet soda but maybe 1 Liter a day or less. I drink a lot of other fluids also like water with water mixes. Keeping my sugar below 200 these days is way better than it has been. For years I was having DKA issues and Pancreatitis issues. About 3 years ago I was in the ICU for 2 weeks and almost died and that sparked my major reform in my habits. I guess I just want to say if you are having any issues like this take it seriously asap or you are in for a hard road. Do what you need to do or you will be putting yourself in a serous situation that is very hard to reverse or impossible if you cant keep focus on the goal.
21:10 unless you have an issue, a lot of doctors tell all their patients that its one of the best they've ever seen. They say that so you wont be paranoid. You're fine and that's all you need to know. Just like cars will lie to you about being at a certain temperature. Its not as stable and fluctuates but the needle doesnt tell you that. Thats on purpose so you dont run to the mechanic for no reason.
The gamer explanation of how the need for sleep works in the brain, and is mechanically suppressed by caffeine, is surprisingly good. To the right demographic, it's a great explanation. I was talking to coworkers recently about how caffeine doesn't actually improve alertness, only suppresses the brain's ability to sense how tired it is, and they weren't getting it. There's so much media / industry propaganda around the incorrect idea that coffee / caffeine gives people energy and wakes them up, that hearing otherwise sounds wrong to people who otherwise either don't know or don't care.
As a gamer, his explanation was simple, and false. All he pretty much said is that you can ignore the debuff after drinking caffeine, which implies that the debuff is still affecting you and that caffeine does not remove the feeling of tiredness. Listen back and you'll find that my interpretation is on point. Here's a better explanation. I will call the debuff tiredness. So, when caffeine is consumed, it temporarily reduces the effects of the debuff, up to a certain point. If you've gone 24 hours without sleep, and you then drink 2 red bulls, you will experience little to no effects from lack of sleep, because the caffeine is reducing the debuff's effectiveness. However, once we go past, say, 48 hours, red bulls might remove the symptoms of tiredness and keep you awake, but you will still function as if you're drunk. Slow reaction time, poor memory, loss of focus etc... The caffeine will only reduce the feeling of your eyelids being heavy, however, past 3 days of no sleep, caffeine will not prevent microsleeps.
@@infinitedeath1384 youre just plain wrong though, if youre already tired and you drink redbull it doesnt wake you up. please explain to me the chemical process by which caffeine improves alertness, all it does is bind to adenosine receptors, thats its only function. most products like red bull contain many active ingredients such as taurine and b-vitamins to achieve a stimulant effect, the caffeine is just for endurance.
@@HappyDragneels_page I'm absolutely not wrong. Caffeine consumption inhibits melatonin production, which is the chemical that makes you feel tired. Caffeine also works by blocking sleep-promoting receptors in your brain, adenosine receptors you mentioned. One quick google search away. It doesn't just bind, it blocks them, keeping you alert.

Trans fat (from ham burgers n fast food oil) increase your cholesterol Build Up of Plaque, In your arteries.
If it builds up too much, your veins get narrow, and you increased risk of stroke and heart attack.

2L bottle of regular coke is ~800 calories. When he made life changes, he "reduced" this to only 2 bottles which is 1600kcal of pure fructose syrup. So before the intervention, he drank ~3000 calories of soda. Since he was not morbidly obese, it means he didn't take a lot of calories from other sources, so he literally starved his organism from micronutrients.

You'd be surprised how non-compliant patients AND their families can be because they're not properly informed of disease processes or they think they know better
…even when they’re properly informed.
last year I was send to the ER by my regular physician - when the ER asked me what the problem might be I could only give very vague answers and point them to the paperwork the family doctor handed me.
Communication and explanation is a real problem and I believe the issue is that the doctors are just hopelessly overworked and somehow have to manage the patient flow.
(Ended up beeing a false alarm in my case)
From my experience, the distrust of doctors for me is why I do my own analysis. I had a pain that was irregular for my age, I told them where that pain was and when it occurred. They told my parents it was my gal bladder. I didn't trust them, years later after a few pains, I decided to figure out this problem. Instead of wasting money for experts, I did my own research for free. I came to the conclusion, it was inflammation in my pancreas. Knowing the doctors would prescribe terrible medicines, I instead figured out what was causing these inflammations.
It started in my teenage years from eating junk food, I stopped eating that junk food.
I stopped drinking those drinks that had those chemicals that inflammated my pancreas. In the mornings rarely it happens, I don't yet know why it happens.
Eating healthy, like fruits and veggies and drinking water dosent cause it. I don't drink sodas or eat too much junk.
Considering the doctors gave me adhd medicine when I was very young, and it screwed me up, I never trusted doctors or nurses, and I still don't.
I don't want to pay a huge hospital bill either.
Unless the situation is an actual emergency, I don't see myself going to the hospital or clinic willingly.
I am a biomedic and my wife is a nurse. His genuine surprise at soda being smuggled in is funny. He should see the alcoholics with shrunk livers lmao
Yeah well the other problem is these diseases take decades to manifest and don’t tend to have symptoms until the end stage - T2DM, HTN and heart disease.
Asmon always seems like a pretty smart basic knowledgable guy until he asks things like "whats cholesterol?"😂
"you get alot of infections. wtf is an infection?"
A perfect example of “being smart doesn’t mean you know everything.”
Knowledge bases are really unique to each person based on their lifestyle and career paths.
It’s almost like he plays it up for content 🤔
What makes asmon seem smart is his willingness to ask questions and actually watch alternate perspectives. He does say some wild shit sometimes though lol
Knowledge silos. He probably looked at his mom and figured he'd be fine as long as he doesn't overeat, drink, and smoke.
I love the way Asmon puts RL stuff in gamer terms. "It's like a stacking debuff... but you can't see the debuff until it wears off..."
I wondered what debuff was period. Thanks

To clarify as a Type 1 Diabetic myself, Type 1 is a chronic illness you're just kind of born with until it shows it's ugly face and your life is never the same again.
Type 2 is the result of poor diet and lifestyle that results in your pancreas being strained because you've overworked it.
I hope you are doing well bubba, my brother was diagnosed when he was nine.
Type 1 and he just couldn't control himself, eventually he went into full Renal failure, dialysis the whole thing.
He passed at 30 years old.
I hope you are living well and staying healthy.
@@burgerport138 I try to do my best, I'm sorry to hear about your brother.
I have diabete 1 too got it t 15(18 now)
Dont know if its becuse I got it early but my life didnt change that much
Also its pretty funny cuz when I say that I have diabete no one believe me(im pretty skinny)
There is also Type 3. Can be caused while pregnant or from viral damage to the pancreas. In my case from H1N1 swine flu. It infected my pancreas and killed off a bunch of beta cells so I still produce insulin but not enough.
Type 2 is uncontrolled insuline resistance due to excess sugar and carbs in your diet. If you have a fat belly, I have news for you: you are insuline resistant and are on your way to diebetes some day, when your body finally can't take it anymore.
I got a kidney stone in Japan. I was drinking no water at all, just trying different sodas and teas every day for months.
I didn't know what it was, I just peed blood red and went to the hospital. I got a scan, the doctor showed me every layer of my body in HD and pointed at a white dot in one kidney. It was tiny. Total cost of the visit was $100. I'm really, really glad it happened in Japan.
I got even luckier when it passed without any pain at all.
You are incredibly lucky I had to pass a fucking kidney stone on my first deployment.
Grey water is no joke, had the camp doctor congratulate me because I passed a massive stone, I passed out multiple times from the sheer pain and multiple hits of morphine didn't help either.
Come to find out later in life passing a stone is worse than child birth especially for men.
So keep drinking water and keep your eye on your kidneys.
Imagine being an adult and not knowing what a kidney stone is.
@@mojavecourier6987 He probably meant he had no idea what was wrong with him when he started experiencing symptoms, not that he doesn't know what a kidney stone actually is.
Same with my dad when we lived in Okinawa. My husband though has chronic ones, and we're back in the states. He knew he had one, went to the ED to try to just get some pain meds cause it was on the more excruciating side. Actually passed it before he even got in the room and we STILL got a bill for 2k... told him to get it gold plated cause that was the most expensive piss he'd ever have. Gotta love America!
Meanwhile in America the doctor removes your kidney to pay your hospital bill.
You can tell Asmon has no idea how unhealthy soda truly is
It is ironic how much he tried to get his mom to stop smoking because he knew it was gonna kill him... yet he is oblivious to the fact that his own eating, drinking and living habbits and lack of physical exercise will prolly kill him at about the same age...
Not trying to judge him. I eat and drink too unhealthy aswell and even smoke. But atleast I have a physical job and get alot of exercise through that... And I am aware...
@@JokerInk-CustomBuilds If I remember right, Asmon was trying to get her to stop smoking not because it was just unhealthy, but because she also had underlying issues and already bad health that the smoking was exacerbating the issue. So, it's a bit different. But yeah, Soda very bad.

Emu's video rings almost true to what i did a few years ago, drank like 3/5 cans a day, then at some point i would get very loose stools, accompanied by a stomach ache, naturally i stop drinking soda for at least 2 days or so, while drinking something else in that time like water.
Present day i drink alot more water but not close to the daily needed amount
(5 to 7 16 oz bottles) I don't drink soda as much as i used to as i don't buy the 24 can containers anymore, but only go to the local fast food joint and get a large size, in a sense i suppose i'm limiting my self in a way.
But now knowing that excessive sugar intake damages nerves and so on, it rings a bell on why sometimes my legs just give out and i tend to trip while walking, and the legs feeling weak, I also have nerve damage from birth called cerebral palsy, it's a weakness in limbs/nerves, now watching this video made me realize i'm killing my self, albeit very slowly.
There were times i had heart palpitations, body obviously telling my something obvious to cut back on the soda.
It's crazy how i saw my self being "Hosted" in that video, it was like a swift realization.
I was like: "Oh shit, that's me."
Going off tangent here:
In regards to the workout regimen, i presume you have a fast metabolism, otherwise drinking soda and eating any kind of fast food or not a healthy diet will net you quite a bit of fat.
I'm kind of in the same way, i don't really workout, i consume probably an unhealthy amount of fast food, and i can eat ONLY pizza for 1 week but still skinny as a twig.
I'd have to eat til i get sick to even gain weight.
Last i tried an honest "food buff" to gain weight, it was exhausting as hell, eating like a litteral horse in the morning, when lunch came around, i wasn't even hungry but i still had to stuff my self.
Just doing that got me 10 kilograms in like 2 weeks or so. It was like a losing war effort.
Increase meat and get on a universal supplement (AG1, Onnit, etc), take probiotics (Thrive, Onnit), and go on walks every day. Don't eat anything processed (you can have one or two cheat days a week while getting started).
Skinny people think they can separate exercise from diet because their not fat, but your metabolism varies based off activity. You will not replenish deficiencies if you don't change behavior in conjunction with diet. You also won't feel as hungery without burning some calories. Even if you're not working out, you MUST decrease sedentary behavior and make room in your schedule for more activity. This is why walks are underrated.
The most important thing is consistency. Make small changes and keep up with them for at least 3 months before adding the next step. It's hard to change habits, but once normalized, everything is infinitely better.
As a person that serves food in a hospital kitchen, this is a lot more common than people would think..
What a sad reality we live in.
bro's job is being a waiter at a hospital.
Unfortunately that is a thought that I had and I don't need much effort to believe you. Has almost the same vibe as eating food before surgery when you were to told not to eat. I just don't understand how people can be that stupid, not ignorant, in this case, really stupid. Like the doctors already told you you are diabetic, why the hell do you think you need to pump mountains of sugar in liquid form into your body? The husband might be not at his best mental health at that moment, but dear goodness, the wife might have had a thought or two. Did people give up using that thing between their ears? I mean he had enough sugar to keep his brain going at least, might as well use it. These people, like, damn...

The official title is dietary aide, but it's pretty much just a fancy term for hospital kitchen slave/waiter. I won't deny that it's a pretty shit job. It is what it is atleast for now.
@@d1oftwins It's also pretty common to see situations where patients get super pissy whenever they don't get what they asked for on the menu despite having certain health issues like diabetes/heart problems.

Maybe I just expect the worst from people. 🤷♂
I saw something similar to this and stopped drinking all soda 11 years ago. I do remember going through sugar & caffeine withdrawal. Truth is, everything in moderation would save a lot of people trouble.
So, this is embarrassing and revealing of my stupidity, but I've been addicted to energy drinks for a while. I was drinking three, sometimes four a day. The last two days, I've switched to drinking Gfuel, and yesterday, I had a total of three cups, about 450 mg of caffeine, and realized I drink far too much caffeine than I should. I'm shooting for two cups, which will be normal for the recommended FDA caffeine intake for an adult (about 300-400mg). Just wanting to talk about my addiction journey. I know, I'm stupid, but that is the nature of being a drug addict.
@@Remedy462 damn, you should drink 10 more
@@Remedy462 bro. keep your caffeine away from you. if you have any in your house, either give them away or put them away in an inconvenient spot. staying around an addiction enables you to keep doing it. avoid being around it and deal with the withdrawals. you are probably already used to being extremely energetic, meaning the withdrawals will make you feel extremely tired and exhausted. make sure that you go through the withdrawals during days where you wont need to do anything, preferably a weekend. if your body get's used to going without extra caffeine then you'll stop feeling tired and start feeling normal.
think about why you are addicted. did you feel the need to consume energy drinks and a bunch of caffeine because you felt tired? was it simply convenient to keep cans of energy drinks instead of going and drinking water? determine the reason, and this will tell you whether you can continue to drink caffeine in moderation or if you have to stay away completely.
Sugar withdrawal is kinda rough. What happened to you? I had night sweats so bad and felt ill for a week. Now I cut all that out and try to only eat natural sugars like fruit

I used to drink two energy drinks per day for a few years. My health wasn't really effected by it, but one day i decided to do the math of how much it was costing me and found out my yearly spending on energy drinks alone was something like $2,900 or there about.
That alone turned me off of drinking anymore soda of any kind lol.

Oh no! :(
The water thing is 8-12 bottles of water consumption IN TOTAL, including food and drink. So if you eat a reasonably balanced diet with fruit and veg and have a couple glasses of water or even other drinks, you'll be just fine. Most people get a significant portion of their water intake from food.
Absolutely correct, although I doubt Asmon gets much water from his diet. Of course the water in soda does count, although it's not healthy. But fresh vegetables/fruits are much higher in water content than the grains/meats Asmon consumes.
I like to leave all those calculations to my body and let it tell me when it needs more :)
@@benia1908 Yeah better to watch the urine color when using the toilet than a bottle count. Light yellow color is the target. Too dark a yellow is dehydrated. Totally clear is more H2o than necessary.

this is the EXACT reason i went from daily soda to maybe 6-8 cans a MONTH
A lot of people have been misinformed as to how many glasses of water to drink. The "8 glasses a day" value was based on a study for *overall* water intake, much of which is included in food. Really it just comes down to drinking water when you're thirsty or drink enough to avoid becoming thirsty.
Yeah there are so much factors,like how big you are, what youre working, etc etc. But 2 liters are the general norm for the average Person i think, food is also containing water, so real glasses of water, just water probably like 1.5 , foods doing the rest i think (as long as its not American, especially fast food, but almost all American food would be considered fast food in most of the rest world, so ye)
Wrong if you wait until you are thirsty you're already damaging yourself

@@spencer6736 If you take it in an entirely literal sense I can't help you. Sayings like that exist for a reason. If you watched the video you'll see a prime example of why. If a patient comes in with an issue, I listen, check the symptoms and it's my job to diagnose and then try to help with said issue. If I run test and ask questions where the patient contradicts everything the test says, that's again why saying like this exists and there are many reasons for it, multiple given in my previous comment. The main reason people lie is because they don't want to be the cause of their own problems which in more cases than they are.

Asmon is indeed incredibly lucky. I also took pride in the fact that my health was relatively stable until the day I woke up in the hospital from a massive stroke 5 years ago.

im 34. I had a lung embolia 6 years ago. didnt know either, that I had a blood problem which resulted in high chances of blood clotting while just sitting. I survived it and take blood thinners ever since. my lung is though of a 60 year old now.
I feel for you both. It's not easy to correct our taught bad lifestyle choices. But it's possible to. Unfortunately for most of us, we won't truly accept this and make changes until we have some serious health event.

Debuff comparison for caffeine is solid.
I'd compare it to say, like poison build-up. Poison in this case = sleep.
So you have a base sleep build up meter, but caffeine slows the build up, but never removes it. Eventually, the build up will overwhelm the slow effect and you'll have to sleep.

His sugar level is 4x the normal because the body is not absorbing the tablets anymore and he went to injecting insulin. He died last 2021 because his body is not accepting the insulin too. The past few weeks before his death, whenever he eats he will just vomit it within 30 minutes.

Yes, many people don't realize or believe you can overdose on water if you drink too much too fast. It throws your electrolytes out of balance and can lead to the potassium/sodium/calcium problems shown in this video.
He clearly has an addiction going on. Even water can poison you if you drink too much too quickly but it barely ever happens because why would you chug 7 liters of water?
I know mma fighters that peak at a 3 gallons, about 9-10 liters, a day, but those are professionals cutting weight and taking saunas daily.
Well I think he was using it as his primary source of hydration and you would be surprised at the number of things the body just tolerates because there is an "easy" way to do so. His tolerance to the sugar and caffeine grew but his body kept staking damage, liver can heal but eventually things catch up and you get catastrophic kidney failure and everything is suddenly threwn out of balance.
What's crazy to me is how he went so long without thinking "gee, drinking 7L of cola sure isn't normal". Like nobody close to him ever noticed his excessive addiction...? Weird.
Asmon explaining caffine as a debuff made total sense 😂
1 200 IQ move 2 actually not incorrect
but also I think caffeine has to work a different way, because this adenosine can't work this way, and the reason why I say it can't work this way, is, I understand if caffeine made you less tired, but caffeine can literally make you have a heart attack, how is that exactly the reduction of tiredness, that's literal stim territory.
but that's just my opinion.
@@a-my9ql Caffeine has a similar structure than adenosine (witch makes you sleepy). That allows Caffeine to dock to the sensor that detects adenosine and therefore blocks it (it dosent triggers the sensore, but nothing else can dock to the sensor while Caffeine is sitting on it). So Caffeine dosent makes it that you dont see the stacks but more like it slows how fast you gain the stacks.
Also with time the body starts to build more sensors for adenosine to balance out your daly Caffeine intake . This means that over time Caffeine becomes less effective (and you become resistant to it, so what Asmos says at 26:22 that he feel immune is explaned by this, even tho you cant get a 100% immunity but a high resistance) , however this reversible, if you stop drinking Caffeine you at first get sleepy faster (because you now have more sensors => you gain Stacks faster) but with time the aditional sensor will get removes until you go where you where befor initial Caffeine consumtion.

I quit sodas back in 2018 and have felt better ever since. For like 1 week after quitting, I had such a terrible headache that not even Tylenol would handle. Probably caffeine withdrawals after consuming it for 20+ years.
After how many weeks did you feel better ? And after how much time did you feel the positive effects ? And what kind of effects ? I dont drink a lot of soda but more of iced tea kind of stuff with a lot of sugar too.
I can't stop and genuinely need help quitting. That headache you speak off drives me directly back to soda every. Single. Time. Just when through it yesterday, I made it to about noon before the headache was so bad I was ready to throw up even after a nap
@@shivur5073 You guys can make a dose reduction plan like a doctor would with drugs and medication.
My Doc recommended this to me because I too had headaches and got super angry, super fast for any and all reasons.
I had 5 Cups of sugary coffee per day and I stepped it down each passing week by one cup and I am back to 1 cup per day. So I am 4 weeks in.
I don't think it's just the caffeine, actually. Whenever I tried to quit drinking Coke, drinking coffee wouldn't ease the withdrawal. Nor would drinking a type of soda with caffeine, but without phosphoric acid ease it. I think it's about the combination of caffeine, sugar and phosphoric acid.
@@KaweilK It took me about 1-3 months for the cravings to stop, but feeling better happens pretty fast after the headaches go away. The high fructose corn syrup is the worst part, not the caffeine. You'll probably feel the difference from cutting out sugary iced tea too, but it's worth it

The issue with your back Asmon is that you sit for long periods of time, which means your back muscles are underdeveloped. A strong abck is important for just keeping stability and all the discs and stuff in place. If you worked out lightly, or even stood up more often, your back problems would likely improve.
Think about getting a better bed and a treadmill or standing desk that you can use for 1-2 hours a day and it will do wonders!
from my staying at hospital experience, albeit for a less mysterious problem, it is very easy for relatives to bring you any food or drinks same as take them back home unnoticed. nurses will typically go outside of your room when your relatives visit, so his wife could easily give him the soda and just put the empty cans back in the bag before anyone could see it

Honestly the thing that i pulled from this is the fact that the human body is an amazingly resilient machine. This man did this for over a DECADE and somehow didin't keel over.
This man makes me feel so healthy 😊
I was born in 1991, when I was a teenager I didn't pay much attention, I ate a lot of fried food, avoided vegetables and fruits, and every day I drank 4 liters of coke. and then they appeared as an allergic reaction to an overdose of sugar redness all over the body the size of a table tennis ball. later when I cut out fried food and replaced it with cooked food, I stopped eating bread. And one note when eating vegetables and bread, the bread absorbs the vitamins from the vegetables like a sponge. that's why bread should be thrown out completely. when I stopped eating bread and increased the amount of vegetables and fruits. my health has improved. I rarely get sick, such as sneezing, a runny nose, and a bad cough.
Hey, Asmon!
I wanted to pop in and say that the reason you don't feel like you could eat a lot of food is because you pay attention to your body's leptin, the hormone responsible for letting you know when you're full, whereas a lot of people who end up eating in excess are not as receptive to the signals they get from leptin. Usually, it's caused by either ignoring it and just eating the food anyway, or if you're genetically unlucky and are naturally unreceptive to leptin. Glad your pancreas can keep up with your soda intake!
For now. But clearly, Asmon lacks basic knowledge about nutrition as well. It will kick him, sooner or later.
The statement "8 bottles of water is normal" ( 16:02 ) depends on the size of the bottle. but if you have the standard ~17 fuild Ounce bottles, its around 7.3 bottles.
recommended water intake is around 3.7 liters per day (~125 fluid ounces) BUT NOTE that im pretty sure this also include water that you get from food/etc.
Don't ever drink 4 liters of water a day. Your kidneys will hate you for that. Nevermind the type of water you drink.
The 8 8-oz glasses of water a day thing is, for lack of a better term, a myth. It's based on 'junk' studies, probably funded by water companies when they realized they could sell you bottled water to increase profits for basically something they could produce for pennies. It's like candy companies saying dark chocolate is good for you because it has antioxidants, so eat more chocolate. Smh. A healthy body has an amazing way to let you know when to drink water. It's called being thirsty.
Only drink when your body needs water is a good way. You flush out tons of important vitamins and minerals for drinking too much water.
From what I heard, you can actually drown yourself from drinking too much water.
I worked at a place that had a stocked kitchen. One fridge had beer and energy drinks. The other had water and soda. The cabinets were stocked with snacks of all variety.
It really is a great perk.
@mikeholt2852 I said Kitchen. What are you on, my guy?
beer at work? 🧐
he calls 911 and says "uh yeah can you bring me some soda"
As a healthcare provider watching Asmons brain literally melt through the biochemistry demonstrations is the funniest shit I’ve ever seen 😂
As a doctor and a biochemistry major, I had a good giggle 😂
This was me up until 6 few months ago. For 10 years straight, I drank 3 cans of (normal) dr pepper a day, and when I was at work I would get a 44oz dr pepper from the fountain at the gas station every morning to keep me through the day. Almost 7 cans a day. I literally never drank water once in those 10 years. Like the guy in the video I would also get four 35 packs from sam's club every time I went. I would occasionally get random pains in my stomach, and I would pee at least once an hour. Also I would rarely feel muscle weakness for no reason too. What made me stop was I was scared to death of getting kidney stones, and I felt pains in my stomach/abdomen and was scared it was kidney stones. It wasn't kidney stones and idk what it was but it was probably related to my dr pepper intake. About 6 months ago I switched to only drinking juices like lemonade, grape juice, and apple juice, but I found out that those in excess are bad too, so a month ago I finally switched to only drinking WATER.
Anything is bad in excess, by definition. I don't know how you get to the point of drinking that much of anything. Glad you've come to your senses though; congrats 👍
watching Asmonds reaction to his first chubbyemu video is gold. Ive been watching chubbyemu for 4 years now because I find the medical science and diagnosis and prognosis fascinating. Just wait if he sees the gas station sushi one
Botulism nachos

gas station sushi?
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

Phosphorus in soda is evil. It keeps you from rejecting the oversaturated sugar water in soda. Allowing more sugar in a soda thus making you crave it more because we innately seek out high caloric foods.
It's really really bad for teeth too. they know what they're doing. it's population control.
I could feel my bones creaking, bladder screaming, UTI waving. Man, I'm glad I drink water everyday, 5-9 times a day.
Oh you mean the water that’s not very clean or worse than a soda?
If you think any type of water is worse than a soda you need to go see a doctor🤣 lol
@@Saxgod If you mean the tap water, your soda is made with tap water too.
I've never read something so cringe@@Saxgod
@@Miranox2 tastes better than water. Now I don’t drink 7 liters a day but come on drinking soda does suck. But there has been scientific study that your thirst can be quenched faster with soda over water. Everytime I drink water I’m more thirsty and can never quench my thirst. I drink one sip of soda boom not thirsty. So explain that?
I've watched his videos before, they're good. You should contact this guy and do a stream with him discussing your health, lots of people could benefit from it.
This dudes at most a nurse who's been through the ruts... Notice he's never giving personal experience. He's always telling you stories that you could probably find online. A lot of this shit I question because of that.
@@VickolaiHe has a PhD in pharmacy and is training in toxicology. In the description of his videos he literally states that all the stories he covers are from patients he or his colleagues have seen.
@@Khang-kw6od okay? That just means he knows his pills and poisons...
@@Vickolai He can't say when its personal experience because that breaks the confidentiality of the patient.
@@Vickolai Those are medical case reports which are an important part of medical research. Personal experience (anecdotal) counts for squat in any scientific field. One doctor obviously cannot get only far out cases, there's no real Dr. House. Case studies are an important part of medical education and are not just spread out on the internet but published in medical journals. There are tons of case studies you can find online too but I'd like to see you try present one like a med student to a journal club full of high schoolers.
Gout is a lesser known problem with prolong soda consumption, a long term study with a big number of subjects show that people drinking sugary soda often compare with people mainly drink diet soda or not regular consumption, the first group of subjects has much higher chance to get gout
Bro the sentence "what are you doing bringing fuckin soda into a hospital" was so unexpectedly hilarious fr
43:03 If you don't move your body for anything you'll end up with muscular hypotrophy, also joint calcification, overall more inclined to getting sick and ironically more tired that if you exercise
Bruh I watched this yesterday and quit drinking soda and am limiting myself to two cups of coffee a day. Day one over. 🎉
gj dude you’ve got this!
If you can quit then that's perfect but if the craving for sugar becomes a lot then have some fruit instead of liquid candy. The fiber of a fruit slows down the conversion into blood sugar so you don't get the same big spike of blood sugar as drinking soda.
Good luck!
@@power50001562 that’s actually really good advice! Thanks 🙏🏻
My dad was diabetic and he constantly needed to drink something, mostly alcohol to starve off the shakes. I saw him go into a diabetic stroke once, his tongue swelled up in his mouth if I didn't find him he would have gone into a coma. My dad was rail thin his whole life I'm pretty sure he got diabetes from drinking so much southern comfort
Ive had multiple kidney stones in my late teens, I stopped drinking Coca Cola. Its the most painfull thing ive been through. Ive been drinking alot of soda again from other brands, This video served as a good reminder. Got myself a water instead rn
soda is high in high fructose corn syrup. your liver has to metabolize it the same as alcohol and it turns into fat
Sounds a lot like when I became diabetic. I was sick for a month and up ever 20 to 30 min going to the bathroom and drinking 4 to 6 2 Liters of sugary soda. It got so bad I was unable to keep any food down and by the time I finely went to the doctors my sugar was so high the doctors were asking me how I was still walking... My sugar was over 700. and for those who don't know that is a crazy high number. 100 is baseline and 200 is high. Of coarse I became fully insulin dependent and had to change my diet. Over the next 10 years I had some ups and downs but I am now on a keto diet and it has been the best 3 months of the last 10 years so far. I still drink diet soda but maybe 1 Liter a day or less. I drink a lot of other fluids also like water with water mixes. Keeping my sugar below 200 these days is way better than it has been.
For years I was having DKA issues and Pancreatitis issues. About 3 years ago I was in the ICU for 2 weeks and almost died and that sparked my major reform in my habits. I guess I just want to say if you are having any issues like this take it seriously asap or you are in for a hard road. Do what you need to do or you will be putting yourself in a serous situation that is very hard to reverse or impossible if you cant keep focus on the goal.

unless you have an issue, a lot of doctors tell all their patients that its one of the best they've ever seen.
They say that so you wont be paranoid. You're fine and that's all you need to know.
Just like cars will lie to you about being at a certain temperature. Its not as stable and fluctuates but the needle doesnt tell you that.
Thats on purpose so you dont run to the mechanic for no reason.
I don't feel so bad about drinking a liter over the weekend anymore.
You're about 18% of the way there.
@@Benji_The_Ghoul more like around 2%
I reach a liter of soda in 2 months
@@Benji_The_Ghoulhow is that 18%? He said a liter over the weekend (2 days) this guy in the video was consuming 7 a day.

The caffeine debug analogy was actually perfect 😂😂
*debuff (god damn autocorrect got me too) and yeah it was perfect.
exactly my thought lol
The gamer explanation of how the need for sleep works in the brain, and is mechanically suppressed by caffeine, is surprisingly good. To the right demographic, it's a great explanation.
I was talking to coworkers recently about how caffeine doesn't actually improve alertness, only suppresses the brain's ability to sense how tired it is, and they weren't getting it. There's so much media / industry propaganda around the incorrect idea that coffee / caffeine gives people energy and wakes them up, that hearing otherwise sounds wrong to people who otherwise either don't know or don't care.
As a gamer, his explanation was simple, and false. All he pretty much said is that you can ignore the debuff after drinking caffeine, which implies that the debuff is still affecting you and that caffeine does not remove the feeling of tiredness. Listen back and you'll find that my interpretation is on point.
Here's a better explanation. I will call the debuff tiredness. So, when caffeine is consumed, it temporarily reduces the effects of the debuff, up to a certain point. If you've gone 24 hours without sleep, and you then drink 2 red bulls, you will experience little to no effects from lack of sleep, because the caffeine is reducing the debuff's effectiveness. However, once we go past, say, 48 hours, red bulls might remove the symptoms of tiredness and keep you awake, but you will still function as if you're drunk. Slow reaction time, poor memory, loss of focus etc... The caffeine will only reduce the feeling of your eyelids being heavy, however, past 3 days of no sleep, caffeine will not prevent microsleeps.
@@infinitedeath1384 youre just plain wrong though, if youre already tired and you drink redbull it doesnt wake you up.
please explain to me the chemical process by which caffeine improves alertness, all it does is bind to adenosine receptors, thats its only function.
most products like red bull contain many active ingredients such as taurine and b-vitamins to achieve a stimulant effect, the caffeine is just for endurance.
@@HappyDragneels_page I'm absolutely not wrong. Caffeine consumption inhibits melatonin production, which is the chemical that makes you feel tired. Caffeine also works by blocking sleep-promoting receptors in your brain, adenosine receptors you mentioned. One quick google search away. It doesn't just bind, it blocks them, keeping you alert.
People refuse to challenge tabloid information and consider it "fact" because a random journalist made it up. The average person is incredibly dumb.
