Food Substitutes To Try This Thanksgiving | SciShow Compilation

THANK YOU for doing this. As someone who firmly believes that a great way to show love is to feed people things that do not make them sick, who gets sick when eating gluten, soy, and dairy, and who is working toward a vegan diet again (eggs made their way back into my diet due to anemia), I really appreciate showing people how easily some things are substituted. ALSO: another problem with the natural vs. artificial flavors binary is that you don't know which ones... I am not the only person in my family who has gastrointestinal reactions to aspartame, and small amounts of aspartame can legally be lumped in with other ingredients as "artificial flavors" And "natural colors" can sometimes be carmel coloring from processed grains, some of which have the gluten to which some of us react.

Pumpkin puree, or any squash puree, can also be used as a 1:1 substitute for oil in some baking recipes. We got a bumper crop of butternut squash this year, and I've been trying to figure out ways to use it up.

Salt doesn't come from a plant or animal, does that make it an artificial flavoring?

Castoreum has more "flavor" molecules than just vanillin and can still be found in some raspberry flavor candies and is regularly used in the more expensive colognes and perfumes to add notes of leather.

✨ As a very tired ED Dietitian, thank you thank you thank you for this compilation!! 😺✌🏻🦃

I suddenly feel very good for not dieting in any way and doing little sports. 😂

Fun and informative video!

This would've been good to upload last week. All main dishes would've been cooked already today. For folks who have to avoid dairy or most dairy products, food subs I appreciate when it can be done. I learned last week, that coconut oil and/or coconut butter can be used in place of milk/butter. I am seriously happy to find that out because I MISS CAKES!! Though I still can't have delicious cheesecakes 😥 It's just not the same flavor to me without the cream cheese added.

In my experience, vanillin works fine in foods where there are lots of other flavours as well, like chocolate flavoured items, but if the main flavour of the food is meant to be vanilla, I can REALLY taste the difference between the only flavour component being vanillin vs all the other subtle compounds from the vanilla bean also being present. It might make sense to figure out how to manufacture some of the other chemicals than the main one that contribute the more subtle effects to vanilla & other flavourings -- I have no objection to artificial flavours in principle, but so many of them just don't taste as good as the natural ones because of the lack of those subtle compounds! I've tried many times to use applesauce as a substitute for eggs or fat, but it just doesn't cut it. The resultant baked goods are certainly edible, but they don't have as satisfying a texture. I always wonder if people who recommend this substitution maybe don't do a lot of baking themselves...

7:00 Popcorn lung is also seen with vape juice use in e-cigarette.

I watched this long enough for you to get a hit. The reason behind this is that I'm like the TV character "Monk", played by Tony Shaloub: I hate change -- when it comes to Thanksgiving dinner. I want the standard Stanford family fare!

I never could understand what the natural flavor was in Dr. Pepper. What is it "naturally" supposed to taste like from nature?

I can definitely tell the difference between real and artificial vanilla and coconut.

The idea that losing 5 kgs and gaining it back could be a problem seems strange to me. It's such a small amount. I gain and lose 5lbs over weekend without trying.

Not me realizing I forgot to buy applesauce...

At 3:22 Hank gave us the real explanation for some say they like to lick a... What!?... Common. You all hat the same thought.

Thank you 👍

Fly amanita wont kill you. Most likely. Other amanitas can but amanita muscaria, pantherina, regalis(maybe more) are all good and psychoactive.

The thing about flavors/scents is that the body senses flavors to indicate what the food is and what nutrients are in it. The body's processes think food that tastes like that contains all those nutrients, while they are lost in ultra processed food, or in very low amounts.
