“But... I saw it on the Internet!”

(Consensus is Politics) #1

This is somewhat of a PSA (public service announcement)

I personally know a lot of people who beleive the internet is full of facts they can beleive. Just because one person puts up a YouTube video about a diet, pain relief, improving gas mileage, et. al., they think that it’s pure proof because this person just said it or showed it. A good example of this was unlocking a car door with a half tennis ball, using it as a plunger over the keyhole :roll_eyes:. I knew several people (yes adults, aircraft technicians, and by all accounts above average intellect) because they saw it on a video it must be true. Took me weeks to disprove it. In the end I did the same thing the video did (in my opinion). I had them try it. They used the half tennis ball, and it unlocked the door. Again and again they were able to unlock the car door. That is until I quit pressing the button on the remote. After that it wouldn’t work at all :rofl:.

Sorry for the long set up, but it proves a point I think. Even people with an expert background in a subject can be fooled. Even magicians can be fooled with slight of hand, if done well enough.

Now my reason for this post. The video below (which could be fake in itself, but that doesn’t matter here, but even if it was would help with my point) tells a story about how believing shit on the internet without question. If this “story” is already well know, I apologize for being redundant.

The narrator looks like he’s 19. Kid should have his own show. Although, I suppose his annunciations could get old pretty quick :joy:

Clearly CG’s mistake was using Kikkoman instead of Koon Chun soy sauce. :stuck_out_tongue:

I stopped being surprised a long time ago, with how stupidly the most intelligent species on the planet can behave.

Yeah, I had someone in my office say “My wife was going to try keto but it causes heart attacks. Every cardiologist says so and it is dangerous” I said please share the link so I can show her the science.

Olong or if you want to go cheaper
Pon Lai. Those are Taiwanese. Kikkoman is better for Japanese cooking. Every Asian country has their own unique style of soy sauce that will give the food it’s proper traditional taste profile. Beware of cheap soy, not naturally fermented or aged.

Ok, that made me laugh :laughing:

I certainly love to try new things, but at the consumption rate I am going, my Koon Chun soy sauce is probably going to last me another 2 years since I stopped eating rice.

However, this thread has reminded me that I adore korean bbq and the marinade for it is mostly soy sauce so maybe I might go dust the cobwebs off my soy sauce. :slight_smile:

@CarlKeller Keep it refrigerated then, soy sauce gets funky tasting when it’s old. I think it’s oxidation at room temperature after opening. Try looking up Red Cooked (chicken, pork, beef) sub something like allulose for sugar. It’s usually got star anise, cinnamon sticks, fresh ginger dried chilies and a few other ingredients. The cooking liquid can be reused and will get richer as you cook more meat in it. You can also put peeled hard boiled eggs in the pot. I have never tried it but it may work in a crock pot.

Indeed. When I said “dust the cobwebs”, I meant metaphorically.

It does look delicious:

Well we are the only species that opens the banana the wrong way, by the stem.

FYP :slight_smile:

Edit: OK, maybe not the only one.

#11

Hey I’ve seen Canadians do it, too.

(Consensus is Politics) #12

Not this cowboy. I open from the opposite end. Pinch it open and peel.

(Consensus is Politics) #13

Maybe it’s just me, but reusing cooking liquid sounds dangerous.

Oh wait… I do let my bacon fat sit on the stove for maybe a week or so. Just keep adding bacon until I’m deep frying it. Then maybe use it in something else. But after that… definitely don’t reuse that juice anymore. :cowboy_hat_face:

I was taught the correct way. It’s actually much easier than the stem way. But I can understand why one would think the stem way is correct.

Thought we werent meant to eat bananas😉

Here is the problem:

Fermented soy sauce (e.g. Tamari) is not the same thing as regular soy sauce and is the one with the health benefits! E.g. Like fermented soy when we are talking genisteins[1] anti-cancer properties; more specially breast cancer! More likely laboracle analogical scenario: “…The soy medium used to culture the breast cancer cells was killing the cancer …because it was the fermented soy (creates genistein) etc…”

Always think in terms of “fermented soy?”

Soy by itself can make the estrogens[1]it contains worse for your body (200x weaker than natural estrogens[1]; highly unlikely?) but fermented soy does not do that, it does the opposite e.g. kills breast cancer!

Footenotes:

[1] Female hormones and weight loss - by Jade Teta [READ FIRST - Keto Friendly] …see also, interesting notes in the commentary section at bottom (Facebook) of that page about “fermented soy -vs- non-fermented soy” by Dr. Robert Timar “…Great exception info on Soy products, 100% wrong. Women all over the world consume plenty of natural non GMO soy and do so for their entire life without any issue. Infact natural soy is around 200x weaker than a females own estrogens. Xeno estrogens, chemical type are around 30,000x stronger. You want the weakest one to bind to estrogen receptors sites in the body, not xeno type. Flax seed is also stronger in phytoestrogen action than soy. No one say don’t eat flax seed or take flax seed oil. Research has also investigated the impact of phytoestrogens on breast cancer and tumor growth. Studies have shown that cultures with high dietary soy intake – such as Japan – experience lower breast cancer rates than Western cultures. Asian’s who eat plenty of soy in their diets do great and transistion to menopause much easier than the american female with her high, processed sugar and fat diet. Not one study has every proven that natural and rational amounts of soy are harmful in any way shape or form to a body. Dr.T …” “…Julie Carter Anything fermented has a better health benefit. As I said, no studies have ever proven that a soy bean, like when we eat edamome, which provides, protein, fiber, iron, omega 3, minerals and tryptofan have a negative impact on your health. Most all foods can cause food sensativities when eat them all the time. We caution all our patients not to eat the same food type day after day, but to rotate thier food sub types… This is seen on our IgG4 test, where patient build antibodies that induce inflammation. Asians do eat more fermented soy, miso, tempeh and fermented soy sauce and that is good. And it is bad for people to eat products all day long that have GMO soy in thier products. It is a cheap filler, additive unfortunealty. But we must be carful with blanket statements which soy seems to be treated this way without confirming types, versions etc… Best of health to you. Dr.T …” …More
