*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 at loving us and guiding us through life with their wisdom… but what about all those medical tips they’ve got? Things like “not going outside with wet hair” or “don’t swim 30 minutes after eating”… is there any validity to those claims? These old wives’ tales have been around for generations, and it’s time we put them to the test to see what’s true and what isn’t. I collabed with TikTok’s grandma, GB (Grandma Bobbe) to provide some insight into the medical murkiness of things like swallowing your gum, frowns vs. smiles, chicken noodle soup curing a cold, not exercising when sick, cracking your knuckles, raw meat on bruises, plucking hairs, watermelon seeds, crossing your eyes, sugar making you hyper, sitting close to the tv, snacking and ruining your appetite, carrots being good for your eyes, and sucking your thumb.

My grandma is a retired nurse. She retired about 4 yrs ago, when she had a stroke. She worked with kids a lot, and can almost always accurately diagnose diseases. Mostly simple ones, but when my mom had cancer and didn't know it, she was the one who felt it might be cancer and made her go to the hospital. And she was right, it was cancer. My mom would be dead if it weren't for my grandma.

@Schattenfaehe
@Schattenfaehe 2 года назад
@@dragow0lf I'm also not a medical professional, so I can only tell you what I experience and that's that sugar, on me as a person with no diabetes, only gives you a short "high" on energy, and energy levels will drop kinda fast afterwards, which can help getting some sleep, if you've been up for the day. (On the other hand, whenever I collapse during the day, a bit of a sugary drink while resting with my legs up often helps me get my energy back faster for a moment, so I can help myself during that sugar "energy high".) Only water with a bit of sugar also does not contain as much stuff in general as for example an energy drink, which I would at least personally not recommend in the evening, since those drinks are at least made to give you energy for at least a bit of a longer period than sugar alone.

About the soda helping your stomach thing - there is actually a bit of truth to it! As someone with chronic GI problems, nothing has helped more than soda for soothing nausea (besides medicine ofc lol). I think the theory behind it is the fizzy bubbles can apparently encourage motility in the GI tract - and can make you burp more lmao, which could help if gas is part of what's causing your problem. Another thing is that nausea/stomach issues and a sore throat often go hand-in-hand, and lots of people can't get down water because it's too hard on the throat. Clearer drinks, like 7-up/sprite among other things that aren't soda, can be more tolerable and help you rehydrate, and hydration can help soothe your stomach/symptoms of an illness! Obviously drinks with electrolytes and less sugar are preferable, but I for example can't tolerate tea as it's harsh on my throat like water is, and thicker drinks like milk can cause extra mucus which isn't great if you're sick. If it works, it works lol

As much as I'd hate to say I disagree with Dr Mike, I agree with you! As a kid I often had nausea accompany the flu, and the only thing that felt good on my sore throat AND calmed my upset stomach, was some type of ginger ale. I know ginger is good for stomach upsets, but I had other sodas/pops too, with the same soothing effects.

The “raw meat” on a bruise thing came from when freezers, if people had them, we’re not common. If you had a piece of cold meat that had been cold from the butcher, it substituted for ice. It was always a steak or some solid, cold piece of meat. Not hamburger.

Ok, I think I've figured out the raw meat one. I'm betting that goes back to when cubed ice wasn't readily available in most homes like it is now. I'm betting the meat was dense and stayed colder longer and served the same purpose as an ice pack.
@joshmitchell8370
@joshmitchell8370 2 года назад
Pretty much. Also, that myth started in the early part of the 20th century, so I'm betting it was a treatment used primarily with boys, to make the seem more macho. Finally, it was a good way to have steak for dinner. It was already out and getting warm. No sense letting good meat go to waste. Keep that 9n your eye for another hour and then your mother will cook it up for dinner.
@pioneercynthia1
@pioneercynthia1 2 года назад
Ding! Ding! Ding! You're *both* right! Additionally, while people did keep fresh meat "on ice," it wasn't frozen. (Home freezers weren't even invented until the 1940s.) It really was flexible enough to work as an ice pack. Also, it was easily the coldest thing in the house. Even if a family had an icebox (like a small, insulated cabinet with a top shelf that stored an entire block of ice), no one was going to chip ice off that block.

I didn't see anyone mention this yet, but the carrots being good for the eyes goes back to WWII. They didn't want the axis powers to know they had developed radar, so they spread the idea that the pilots ate a lot of carrots and have great night vision because of it. Similarly, but very different, the idea that you can catch an STD from a toilet seat was purposefully spread so that more soldiers would get checked/ treated for them. 😊

When I have a tummy bug, I drink lemonade (which in Australia is basically Sprite, we don’t really do fizzless lemonade that’s actually yellow and made from lemons so much). But I really dislike fizzy drinks (they hurt my throat), so I shake it to make it flat. I drink it because it gives me sugar, on days when I can’t eat anything except a little Vegemite toast. Now, I know Americans know very little about Vegemite. You get toast, spread butter on it, and a very, very thin scraping of Vegemite. It’s not Nutella. You also can’t judge it by eating a spoonful. That’s like swigging soy sauce from the bottle and then refusing to ever use it on anything ever again because it’s gross. You’re just not supposed to have it like that. That’s not how it works. But spread thinly on toast with a bit of butter? So good. It’s umami, much like soy sauce. So the bread provides carbs, the vegemite provides salt, and the flat lemonade provides sugar. Keeps you going when you’re feeling crook.

Exactly! It’s not meant to be a cure, it’s meant to help you feel more comfortable. Also, when you’re that sick, having something with a little sugar can help you keep your energy up. You aren’t gonna be eating meals that day or even for a couple days if you’re really unwell, and drinking soda is better than not taking in any food or liquids at all. I was sick once with a bad stomach bug, and I didn’t eat or drink for many hours because I didn’t feel like it. I passed out in the shower later that night. I couldn’t see or hear.

Can confirm. Caffeine has its own color. Dissolving caffeine in a clear liquid will impart a yellowish hue, depending on concentration. Thus, a clear liquid cannot contain caffeine. Fun fact: This is why many caffeinated pops use caramel color. (Not all, though. Most root beers have no caffeine but still use caramel color.) Without any coloring, caffeinated pops would resemble urine and thus would look incredibly unappealing.

7-up does NOT have caffeine in it. And I'd never heard that it could soothe an upset stomach, but it is (usually) mild enough to keep down when nauseated. My mom's logic when I was little was that it had sugar and electrolytes, so I was at least getting some of that replaced even if I couldn't keep down much in the way of solids.

It’s been found that cracking your knuckles (IF DONT CORRECTLY, ie traction, or pulling) won’t cause arthritis. However, if you do it incorrectly, which is the way most people do by crunching or compressing them together, could potentially do some damage to the cartilage. But it’s also been found that some people with arthritis have found relief when applying traction to the affected joint, and sometimes they get a little pop. I personally get relief from the arthritis in my hand when I do that.

I think 7-up has some properties that may make it more appropriate than other sodas. It seems to have smaller bubbles than many, and as pointed out, it doesn't have caffeine. It also doesn't have colorants that may induce minor reactions (red dyes are notorious for this, it's not an allergy, not anaphylactic shock or anything that drastic, but definitely a lot of people have a minor sort of reaction to it, some itchiness or hives even). The lemon-lime flavor is relatively refreshing and seems easy to keep down. I haven't seen any study on whether or not 7-up helps an upset stomach, but it doesn't seem totally infeasible to me. Oh, and the sugar probably makes it more palatable than plain water for sick kids.

They did a double blind study on sugar and hyperactivity, and they found that some kids had no reaction at all to sugar (or the placebo) but their parent believed they did, while some kids had a reaction on no sugar (as well as sugar) as a response to what their parent wanted them to have (kids are great at figuring out what the adults around them want from them, which is why they're so hard to study). So, if your kid gets hyper because of sugar, it's most likely a response to the adults around them expecting them to act hyper and them behaving according to that expectation. ... also, another study about kids (5-6-ish age range) and their behavior found that when there were monitors in the room, they would form cliques and group up and in-fight, but when the in-room monitor had to leave for something unforeseen, the kids all chilled out and were perfectly well behaved with one another... until the monitor returned. Turns out that even when the monitor might have been trying to be be neutral, they weren't, and their expectations of the experiment changed how the kids reacted to it!

In addition to that, they they were heavily rationing sugar and trying to get people to use carrots (which could be grown easily at home) as a substitute. That's why carrot cake exists.

@@datadiva9353 And people have complained to me when I've mentioned that carrots are sweet. Like, they aren't sugar beets, but still, they're sweet enough to provide for a slightly more savory dessert.(with maybe cream adding a bit more, which they also get upset about the idea that there's sweetness in)

@@poisonedkilljoy9304 cocain was eliminated from coke in 1929 so i’m guessing grandma never got any of that but maybe didn’t know it was taken out. She looks to be in her 80’s so she was born just after it was taken out. EDIT: BINGO! I just checked her tiktok and she is 88. So she was born in 1933. 4 yrs after cocaine was taken out.

As a past competitive swimmer, I can confirm if you eat a decent size meal/anything heavy -even a bowl of oatmeal- then swim at a swift pace stomach cramps do happen. Eating a snack or a quick sandwich then doing some warm up laps or casual swimming I've never had a problem.

I ate a bowl of pasta right before a water polo game one time and had some of the worst stomach cramps of my life. I ate light meals right before practice all the time though and never had any issues. If you're just swimming for fun, eating lunch and then getting back in the pool is fine as long as you aren't eating anything really really heavy.

Fun fact: The whole “carrots make your eyes better” myth comes from WWII. The British where developing the first radar detection systems and other powers noticed that they were much more accurate and ready to defend against air raids quicker than ever before. They used the excuse that “our soldiers are eating lots of carrots, and it’s improving their vision.” True story lol.

I have trichotillomania, which is a compulsive hair pulling disorder. My main picking area is the scalp, and.. I feel like I'd notice if my hair suddenly doubled. When my trich first developed, by the end of the pulling part of my cycle I was practically bald (minus a thin clump of hair on the bottom-right "corner" and the soft newly regrown hair on top) and.. I feel like it'd be obvious that my hair is double as thick everywhere except that small spot that survived. Unless it's only for grey hair.. but why would that double but nothing else? Also, for the hair sticking thing, that could just be the root. I've found there are different "types" of roots when you pull hair out, my trich is heavily effected by that. There are ones with a long white-ish casing on the root, ones where it looks like the hair just snapped and there is no root, ones where there's just a black ball, ones where there's a white ball.. some stick more than others, they also feel slightly different when pulled. It's odd.
