Who else has to watch this for school ps ice cream is the best

I like such simple explanations with real life examples. I wish universities taught this way.

Soo clear and informative. Thanx for the video.

The bottom line is that “ I love u “ very informative thank u sir

Dr. Feenstra knows how to deconstruct mysterious concepts into understandable language making it relevant and practical. I think this video should be required viewing for anyone doing research or using data to make decisions including all educators.

Watched this today in biology, me and my friends didn’t listen once. So I’m back here watching again, it’s as weird as I though lol

wtf does my college have me watching..

Thanks for the clear and well-said explanation:) I think people need to be more aware of the news, especially when reporters cited from health psychological articles

i dont even like ice-cream but i will eat it more now because you said its bad

My favorite correlation causation is climate change and pirates. Someone get Blackbeard here!

Ice cream contains both sugar and fat. The mechanism that causes weight gain when excess ice cream is consumed is called the Randle Cycle. Generally I consider lack of correlation to disprove causation but your segment about ice cream seems to be the exception that proves the rule. Of course in a free population there are many confounders, which is why any epidemiological study should be heavily discounted until other methods have been employed to prove or disprove the claim. In our house, ice cream is consumed at a steady rate, but purchases are made when ice cream is sold at a discount and put into storage until consumption. Since consumption is not tied to sales, there is no reason to conclude weight gain should be tied to sales, either.

VERY WELL EXPLAINED

thanks for the explanation. It was clear.

Clear depiction of information

Sounds just like the Kaiser model ! But they don't even pretend to look for a cause.

Awesome!

This is great, thank you very much!

great video

I loved it!!! Sooo helpful, thank you! I subscribed to the page :)

Thank you, Sir.

I remember they showed us this in 8th grade. When I was in 8th grade I was slightly overweight so it was uncomfortable watch the obesity part lmao

Exactly! Cows farting doesn’t cause global warming!

Climate change catastrophists and disaster junkies need to watch this.

thank you.

This is genius!

Thanks for this video. I wish more people would approach things in a more scientific approach like this, using logic and reason. Many lean into "scientific studies" which may very well be biased or even fraudulent without a second glance, and swallow the data whole with blind belief. Some will even be ostracized from the community for suggesting another theory. Its as if the spirit of free inquiry has been crushed by the current dogma of our current trend of "science". We are in a very dangerous age where our very own sources of "information" are under control by different "groups" pushing their own agenda. We have turned into a society were we dont look for confirmation of facts, but affirmation of our own beliefs. Especially in politics. I feel that most people on earth go no further than the news, and even that may only read a headline. But its difficult in an age where, say someone goes to "wikipedia" for their "facts" and not realize anybody can go onto any wikipedia page and edit it with their own words. They have crowdsourced information and its frightening.

nice

why are schools so against Ice Cream? like yall it can only be described by one word: Heaven.

LOL i love it

What did you use to make this?

If you sent it to your girlfriend, you are done for good.

According to this brief video can we claim that ice cream causes people to gain weight?
