Doctor Fact-Checks UberFacts Tweets

i'm about to uber fact check these uber facts are you a motion graphics designer that has really top-notch editing skills there's a link down below for you to apply do it do it let's just get started after kissing someone passionately their dna can linger in your mouth for more than an hour i don't know why i threw that passionately thing in there but this is true not only are you sharing the bacteria fungi viruses all of the microbiota that exists inside your mouth you're also sharing some of your dna it's also called saliva swapping bonding with dogs causes your brain to release dopamine and oxytocin in the same way as loving a child there you're like my child it's also the same thing that's released when you're cuddling with someone oxytocin is also known as the cuddle hormone but you also let off uh something known as beta endorphin which also is a feel-good positively attributed neurotransmitter that uh your body just makes you feel love the human mouth is dirtier than a toilet seat ah this i mean it depends on your definition of dirty because if you're doing strictly bacteria it is true if you ever actually hit someone in the face with a punch and their tooth goes into your knuckle that could be a fight bite so that when the bacteria gets into the joint or near the joint when you reposition your hand like that it can no longer escape gets trapped puts you at risk for osteomyelitis a bone infection septic arthritis a joint infection and those are quite serious so we give antibiotics really quickly for fight bites a human sneeze can travel about a hundred miles per hour yeah this is true we've seen on slow motion camera where like the sneeze droplets the micro droplets the ones that probably aren't carrying viral material are shooting as far as like 27 feet away the reason we say stay six feet away for like the influenza and covet 19 is because we've seen that the majority of the heavy droplets that carry the virus actually fall at that six feet rate but it doesn't make you 100 protected by any means why did that lady just sneeze on her cat the largest bone in the human body the femur can support 30 times the weight of a person's body this is in fact true strongest bone in the body oh hey bear also the reality is to fracture the femur it needs to be a high speed car accident a very high fall you're not gonna just fracture your femur as a young healthy adult by walking on the street and taking a slip if human dna were uncoiled it would stretch 10 billion miles 10 billion million miles that's equivalent going to pluto and back i gotta fact check that because that is excessive this fact is actually not true each cell in your body has dna if we uncoiled it it would go about six feet and then if you add up all the cells in our body that adds up to 67 billion miles which is a hundred fifty thousand round trips from here to the moon i don't know about you but i've never taken a round trip to the moon if i would i wouldn't do it 150 000 times the highest blood alcohol concentration ever recorded was 0.91 more than twice the usual lethal level and 11 times more than a legally intoxicated person it is potentially 11 times more than a legally intoxicated person but let's see what the highest recorded on record is i'm sure i can find that out all right this one's false there are much higher reported levels across the globe on this the important fact here is actually anything above a 0.5 blood alcohol content is respiratory failure death coma etc when doctors say they need something stat it is a shortened version of the latin word statum meaning immediately instantly immediately yes this is true and that's why we say chest compressions chest compressions chest compression stat because they should be done immediately when someone's unconscious without a pulse the pentagon spends an estimated 41 million 600 000 a year on viagra uh we fact check this it is absolutely true and if you combine it with drugs like cialis levitro which have the same mechanism of action that totals 294 million dollars the reality is sometimes we prescribe these medications for pulmonary hypertension in order to lower the pressure in the lungs some of the other ones are also used for prostate issues so don't judge and think that it's all about fun and sometimes it's about procreation if a male pees on a pregnancy test and the results are positive it could be indicative of cancer i like that they put the word it could be because there are certain tumors specifically testicular tumors that produce this hormone beta hcg which is what we test for when we give you one of these over-the-counter pregnancy tests so while it's not something i would use as a screening method for cancer if it does show up positive that's a good reason to go see your doctor british researchers have found that one smile can generate the same level of brain stimulation as up to 2 000 bars of chocolate that is a lot of chocolate fact check time it is true and it can give you the same neurological boost as receiving 25 000 so smile away flow is the mental state your brain enters when you're completely involved in an activity that brings you so much joy you lose the sense of space and time truth when you go let's say rock climbing you're playing the piano for fun there is no financial benefit sexual benefit work benefit and yet we put so much effort into doing this burning calories it doesn't help our survival one bit yet we do it why flow that's why when you set little goals for yourself throughout the day that bring you joy and they're attainable goals and we create friendships along the way this is the secret to fulfillment i don't want to say happiness i'm going to say fulfillment humans have the same number of hairs as chimpanzees but our hair is useless and often invisible i mean if you're talking about peach fuzz maybe but the reality is through evolution we actually end up losing the majority of this hair for me what's interesting is the hair that has remained and the reasons why it has remained for example like think about the eyebrows why do we have eyebrows it's really as a way to serve as a non-verbal communication representing threat or hostility exercise reorganizes the brain so it is more resistant to stress i don't know if reorganizes the exact term but yes this does happen in fact the brain uh has a factor in it called brain derived neurotrophic factor which actually nourishes and matures new nerve cells to form and as a result you become more cognitively capable more likely to be comfortable dealing with stress even oxidative stress to some degree some level of activity is almost always beneficial to the human mind mind and body the average person falls asleep in 10 to 20 minutes i know for the people who are insomniacs out there they're going to get frustrated by this this is somewhat true my general rule is if you're rolling around in bed for more than 20 minutes and you can't fall asleep you probably should get up and try and do something else that's calming in order to help you get sleepy again and then come back into bed and try again because once you lay there for 20 minutes you start developing anxiety and frustration with being in the bed not falling asleep it's actually conditioning you to be more anxious the next time you go to bed as opposed to leaving the bed being anxious somewhere else calming yourself down and then going into bed when you're already tired that's the optimal approach for caffeine addicts coffee doesn't actually increase alertness above baseline levels it just reverses the fatiguing effects of acute caffeine withdrawal there was a study done on this that actually did confirm it however it's an imperfect study i think that yes if you need that temporary boost especially early in the morning it's totally fine to have a cup of joe however do not have it after lunch because caffeine takes several hours more than six hours to clear out of your body so if you're taking it at four or five o'clock when you're going to bed you're gonna still have some caffeine in your system making it difficult for you to fall asleep or if you're one of these addicts that says oh i can drink caffeine and fall asleep like a baby yeah you can but guess what you're not gonna go through all the stages of sleep well you're going to wake up feeling unrefreshed boom it's possible to die from a broken heart this condition is called stress cardiomyopathy actually it's called takutsobuz no takutsobo cardiomyopathy usually this causes a non-ischemic heart attack meaning it's not because of a blocked blood vessel and your heart ends up suffering from a lack of oxygen ninety percent of the reported cases are in women ages 58 to 75. a sunburn is the result of your skin cells killing themselves to protect you from their damaged dna which can cause cancer yeah this is somewhat true because they're experiencing what's known as a type 1 program cell death when you have radiation injury your body understands that there could be genetic mutations there so it goes through this programmed cell death creating an inflammatory response it's very painful there's peeling the skin cells actually flake off this is a protective mechanism of your body meditation is such a powerful technique that after only eight weeks the brain structure changes i don't know where they got this eight weeks from couldn't find that anywhere in the research but the reality is meditation does change your brain's electrical activity the way we should think of mindfulness and meditation is just like any other exercise that's why the more you do it the better you get at it our brains tend to be anxious beings that constantly are going all over the place and when you try and control it for a short period of time of mindfulness that takes effort it's hard that's why you should do it for a short period of time and then work your way up to longer periods of time and when you do that your brain structure is somewhat changing so yeah meditation all the way listening to music while exercising can measurably improve your physical performance yes not only can listening music affect your physical performance it could also affect your brain waves its changes in music and also silence can have the same effect music that has like a crescendo where like it's like a drop or a climax in it will affect the way your brain is reacting it's really really cool sweat is actually odorless the smell is caused by bacteria that live on the skin i want to say true cause like when people smell bo they're really smelling bacteria farts so it's true on that end however however however there are pheromones that sometimes have their own unique scent that is released when you stress sweat and by the way when you smell something that's just a chemical receptor in your nose like it's not even a scent receptor just census chemicals how cool is that spongebob also spreads misinformation click here to check that out and as always stay happy and healthy uber fact or not [Music] you
