7UP has no caffeine, I confused it with Mountain Dew, but my point still holds about it being a bad "cure". Grandma's are so good ...

Doctor Fact-Checks Grandma’s Medical Advice

grandmas like to give a lot of health advice some of it true some of it i'm about to fact check them but for this video i got the coolest grandma in the game hey i'm chibi the best grandma in the game anyone well hey don't swallow your gum it's gonna stick in your stomach for the next seven years imagine you swallow a piece of gum and it stays there for seven years what happens if you swallow five pieces of gum then i actually cover this on a responding to comments video i must know where did this urban legend start from no you cannot digest the gum so it will go right through you and come out the other side and why seven years does the gum thing go like oh year five still gotta chill you're eight oh no we're late you like that rhyme i know you like it don't don't lie okay it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile oh i think that's true let's do a quick search just to confirm all right frowning 11 muscles total smiling 12 toes wait no is this true different people smile differently and use different muscles so there is no answer to this okay i'm with it graham and i both believe it so for us it's true the best thing to eat when you're sick is chicken noodle soup it helps a lot because i know that for a fact not only do i agree as a medical expert i agree because the scientific research agrees we've tested this it's warm it has electrolytes a little salt a little bit of calories can you believe that the chicken noodle soup thing has actually medically been proven to help with the common cold i mean the symptoms of the common cold good job grandma now if you've got a cold stay in bed and don't exercise and relax i i like that i like that advice i will go a little one step further grandma i'm sorry don't get mad at me if you have a very very mild upper respiratory illness you can do some mild exercise i mean rest and hydrate is good advice whenever you have a viral illness so i'm not against what grandma's selling here she's spitting facts she's spitting hard facts why would that work i don't know but it does trust me i trust you oh you slur with me cracking your knuckles will give you arthritis but i don't think so grandma mythbuster in the house asmr challenge but really cracking your knuckles is just about nitrogen bubbles popping within the joint and guess what after a few minutes of cracking your knuckles those nitrogen bubbles reform and we've seen it on x-rays actually check it out right here to get rid of a bruise more quickly cover it with raw meat and i have heard that but i'm not sure about it i wouldn't recommend putting raw meat so you can get bacteria exposure onto your skin oh no you got a bruise put some ice on it or you know what let it be a bruise own it love it hug your bruises an apple a day and keep the doctor away maybe she said maybe unless you throw it at me like that meme unless you didn't pay your copay then it'll still change be careful with these doctors out here no apple is great it has fiber it has vitamins nutrients phytonutrients good stuff but it will not like stop you from ever getting sick i mean like i think that goes without saying they're yummy too like that's the problem like we've chemically engineered all these foods now you give a kid an apple and they're like yeah it's not sweet it is sweet just your freaking jolly rancher is like chemically designed to be like a hundred times more sweet than the right real apple nothing against jolly ranchers i love green apple if you pluck a gray hair too or growing this place and you can look at my head and you know that's the truth why has she been picking her plugging her hairs i have gray hairs i don't know if you can see here i pluck them sometimes and you know what's weird sometimes when i pluck them and they're really long i put them against my mirror and they just stay there i don't know why i think it's like the root kind of like a sticky still and it attaches to my mirror and it just stays there i'm so weird it's usually the old one like a long one like a really long one i'm like oh i want to remember this gray hair if you eat a black watermelon seed a watermelon will grow on your stomach and i think that's a lot of rot i don't think that would happen grandma fact-checking grandma myths retitling the video right now imagine if you ate seeds that you just end up growing watermelons out of it if you cross your eyes for longer than seven seconds if stay that way but that's an old saying and i i'm not sure about that no it's not true you have muscles around your eyes that are perfectly capable of moving your eyes sideways up and down horizontally diagonally and they return back to normal that's what muscles do that's like saying imagine you flex and your arm will stay like that forever it won't three four five six seven am i good i said it was seven yeah i'm good right yeah you can you can i did you kind of cross your eyes i did you cannot cross oh he's having crossed no there's still cross no mike you already got seven no no no i'm good i'm good no sugar before baby it'll make you happier because sugar gives you energy and all kind of good hyper stuff grandma i know that's what you told your grandchildren but that ain't true that ain't true grandma sugar actually makes an insulin spike and probably makes you sleepy and crash more than it does give you energy that whole kids get hyper after sugar thing is really not true maybe that happened in the beginning when people were getting coca-cola and that had sugar and caffeine in it we're giving caffeine to kids and then they get hyper and we're like no but why would it make you hyper sure gives you energy and picks you up and sugar is good good i think grandma just likes sugar grandma needs a little sugar in her life remember the brain does work on glucose so she's not wrong on that part okay now don't sit too close to the tv or it will hurt your eyes grandma this is so true we sit all the time looking at computers looking at books and in order for your eye to focus on something that's really close to your eye it actually has to constrict and focus over time that actually causes harm where your farsighted vision goes away and you become nearsighted it doesn't go away it worsens over time so good job grandma and it'll make you go cross-eyed no grandma not cross-eyed i just gave you credit snacking all day we'll ruin your appetite for dinner but i don't believe that's true because snacking all day just tells me be more eat dinner i'm ready i like snacking grandma just like snacking i love snacking too if you're eating healthy snacks you're gonna be fine that's all i'll say now don't leave the table before eating your carrots because they're good for your eyes well they don't make you see better but carrots do contain beta carotene which is vitamin a which is important for your eyes but it's not like if you have bad vision and you have normal vitamin levels and you start eating carrots it's gonna improve that's not gonna happen in fact you may turn orange from all that beta-carotene if you eat too many carrots now walking after a meal will help digestion and i know that for a fact i wouldn't necessarily say it helps but it is a smart thing to do if you just eat a big meal and then plop down and lie down the gastric juices that are secreted by your stomach can actually creep up into your esophagus causing heartburn acid reflux symptoms and you do not want that so grandma i agree with you on this one all right don't you go outside with red hair or you're going to catch a cold but grandma common cold is caused by viruses rhinovirus is a common one coronavirus is another one why would going outside with white hair caused that even bear bears traumatized by that you know what i wouldn't recommend going outside with wet hair it's bad for your hair the outside air makes the wetness freeze the water in your hair expands it can actually make your hair brittle and weaker your hair breaks you don't want that neither do i okay now don't swim for 30 minutes after eating or you'll get a cramp okay a cramp is something i haven't heard before i heard that you might throw up will you get a cramp possibly because if you eat a ton of food blood rushes to your stomach your parasympathetic nervous system kicks in it wants to rest it wants to digest and then all of a sudden you start swimming and you're moving all these muscles and you need more circulation there the blood leaves the stomach the stomach can cramp or maybe you're not getting enough blood flow to the muscles and your muscles can crack i don't know which cramp grandma's talking about but it can't happen drinking seven up can ease this upset stomach because i know because i have a lot of upset stomachs and a lot of 7-ups i cannot even begin to come up or fathom a reason why 7up would help a stomachache first of all 7up contains caffeine which can irritate your stomach lining cause more acid secretion and cause more stomachache it also has a ton of sugar in it which is pro-inflammatory like if you like the bubbles just drink club soda without all the caffeine and added sugar i think this is soda industry lobbying at its finest they've even managed to convince grandma to stock up on seven don't do it do not do it sorry seminar guess i just lost that sponsorship oh well flu shot can actually give you the flu so i i i don't think so but it's necessary to have one grandma's correct here the flu shot cannot give you the flu it just physically can't it can't happen could you get the flu at the same time you get the flu shot because it takes a little while to kick in yes by getting the flu shot you can have an immune response that might make you feel a little bit tired maybe have a little headache maybe have a little bit elevation in your temperature which makes you think you have the flu you don't have to flu you're good second on your thumb will cause bulk teeth i think that is true and so don't do it sucking on your thumb past a certain age can cause jaw and tooth deformities like buck teeth grandma is correct on this but a lot of kids do this i've seen numbers climb as high as 70 80 percent uh sometimes we're doing like the prenatal ultrasounds and you'll see the baby's thumb in its mouth even in utero it's fine that's that's their self-soothing mechanism but you should start to discourage it uh at around age four because then it could start impacting the permanent teeth that are coming in grandma stamp of approval on that one we talked to grandma let's talk to kids actually they're gonna teach me about periods let's see what they know huge thank you to grandma bobby and grandson matthew for being in this video as always grandma you do it okay now stay happy and healthy
