Turning Gatorade Into Meat

Huh... I don't what you're saying but I kinda wish I understood more of what you are talking about now

@@codiserville593 I think they're saying that we could get the cells to evolve so they could survive in pure gatorade

They should definitely try and see if there’s a way to fully transition a cell line to a cheaper medium.

@@jacobwiens659 For sure. The cost involved in obtaining the growth media are one of the biggest obstacles to bringing down the cost of production. (The cost of electricity is another, but we already have a lot of information on how to solve that)

@@goo894 well alright thanks for this possible translation. It's helpful

You can bring red gatoraid to work, dilute and have some left over for your own mad scientist creations!

Also...Our budgets are not unlimited((((

no sir tax-man these energy drinks are 100% for Science!

@@calamatica To be fair, it's not the labs that think the budgets are unlimited, it's the purveyors of the materials used. :-(

Yeah, it’s just “how much green dekara and coconut water can you put in a Petri dish before cells notice?”

although this is the opposite of the sawdust in a way, because adding more Green dakara makes it more tasty

A very bad analogy. This has nothing to do with thinning out a product, it's a new way of producing meat without killing animals.

@@skunkjobb I wasn't making an analogy I was making a goofy comparision

@@skunkjobb It's _LITERALLY_ thinning out a product. Did you not catch that they are using the Gatorade and other drinks as partial replacement for the cell media? Or all that various other stuff as partial or complete replacement for the serum?

Not entirely. There's almost always going to be minor or major compromises. You might be able to filter or separate out some of the undesirable elements, but every bit of that effort eats into the cost/time savings of using the retail alternative in the first place. But if something along that cheaper price point spectrum works "good enough" with 99.8% or whatever effective substitution, then yeah. For example, Thought Emporium mentioned two differences: the sports drinks significantly dropped pH balance out of the optimal cell survival range, and some trace elements in DMEM are situationally important for stuff like growing bones. I'm no cell biologist, but I'd imagine there are more nuances like these that they didn't mention. Another big one is quality control and precision to prevent variation. Two units of the same sports drink from different bottling plants or batches in the same plant could have a huge 0.2% variation in concentration of some elements. Not enough for a consumer to taste more or less salty, but could be enough to throw a precise lab process out of whack. A lot of the extra $100s of cost is for processes that ensure these error margins are orders of magnitude smaller. So the discount sports drink doping might be good enough for growing boneless McRibs or chicken nugget paste, but not for pseudo pork chops or beef ribeyes that need more realism. Good budget tier alternative for producing off-brand or generic synthetic meat, while the top quality synthetic meat will cost 2X more just to add the necessary 0.2% trace elements or whatever. Just like current consumer product price tiers. Or the discount stuff could work great for pumping out lower cost protein feedstock to feed to actual animal livestock that's raised for real meat. Not as environmentally or cost optimal as directly growing a high quality vat steak, but maybe it would be an interim technology that cuts cost inputs and greenhouse gas emissions by 10% or something, per pound of real beef produced. That's basically what industrial agriculture has been doing at a lower tech level for the past century -- grinding up undesired wild caught fish bycatch and waste parts from farmed fish to make fish meal, which they then mix into feedstock for more farmed fish or other livestock. Same for waste parts from butchered cows, pigs, chickens, etc that are fed back into the system to feed new animals. (and yes, this has been a source of increased system vulnerability to contamination, disease, and things like growth hormones recirculating back into the system as it approaches both higher efficiency and a slightly more closed loop of production)

Lab grown meat ..? Dont you mean DIY grown meat ? 😁😆

The reasoning is because those expensive mediums are specifically tested and the ratio of contents confirmed to not have anything additional in there to not throw off experiments. It’s the same reason anything “aircraft grade” is expensive. It’s also the same reason NIST sells peanut butter for like $400. You’re not paying for the item but for the paper trail to validate your results. This is especially important in healthcare research in the case of any kind of side effects or other issues later on. Stuff like this is definitely great to know, especially if you’re just doing some preliminary research into a topic, but if you’re publishing a paper then you should be using standardised ingredients/processes.

you can't make me eat it

Wouldn't be the first time something like that happened. A while back a lab tested using the old Shrinky Dinks toy to create patterns for use in microfluidics. It worked.

Thought Emporium is the mad scientist the world needs more of.

honestly the high cost seems to be one of the big barriers to practical lab grown meat, not to mention any other lab grown cells, so pretty useful

@@porteal8986 Exactly. An imagine being able to supply all your meat at the cost of some gatorade and an egg (so about $2 instead of the normal $15)

@@NoAIStudios we re about 50 years away from every home having their own meat synthesizer in the basement that you just need to fill the vats with gatorade and eggs every month

Me rn in Singapore chugging the $1.50 (usd1) bottle of PS

Also yes I wanted to mention they come in power form. I remember being in police cadet corps and our outfield ration included the powder. We mixed it into our water bottles that were brewing in the hot sun, and chugged it - horrible but delicious. Also had to make lunch using some cheap off-brand instant noodles, and I think some folks forgot to pour out water into the mestin for the noodles before mixing the PS powder. But anyways we opened a tin of sardines in tomato and threw that into the mestin of noodles and honestly, pretty good!

I wondered why he imported it when I can get a bottle of pocari from a local asian store in London for a few pounds. I'd be surprised if you couldn't also in Canada

@@theendoftheworldhasbeenqui2485 honestly it was probably just because its the best way to make sure you get the exact same product. yes its almost guaranteed to be the same locally but it might not be. Also i wonder if the powder might not be better because you could adjust the concentration if need be

Nah that's a good point. If DMEM can be diluted with distilled water and still work well, that's an instant drop in costs cuz every lab has access to distilled water. Heck, AC units make it as a side effect of cooling the air

Actually I think your entirely right! I hope he responds to this comment

Could be, but the 100% version with replaced fbs does remediate the results somewhat, Although yeah the data is better with dmem 0-100% with reverse osmosis distilled water dilution, it's not that complicated to do too, However the research from japan in video is probably more complete,

If my bio knowledge hasn't failed me, I think that's a negative control: a group that doesn't receive treatment and isn't expected to produce a result.

@@am529 I know I'm more so just commenting on how E.coli is used far more in biochemistry than anyone not in the know would ever expect. I for one didn't know until I stumbled on this channel just how much it's used in this field of work.

@@chyza2012 Homeopathy is a profitable business, expanding to grow mediums.

yeah acetate ion in humans is toxic so i cant imagine having a bunch of it floating around is good for the cells

Now i want to see what happens if i soda streamed some milk xD

@@user-fz1nu9uy6q You'd get lots of foam, and coagulated proteins separating from whey. More importantly, I'm looking forward for your taste report, which is the, erm.. more interesting part 🙃

Dilute sodium acetate is extremely benign. It's used in blood transfusions and neonatal care, so it's probably close to harmless to cells.

Could use dilute HCL. Make some more salt.

Much like your average dad over 40, cells just love beer

it's what secretly keeps humanity alive for millennia

I mean historically speaking wine, beer, and spirits are some of our oldest inventions.

It's basically yeast broth, especially since the way they used it massively dilutes the alcohol.

Brewing beer is cell culture. The main difference is that the spent media is the desired product.

Lol

That's 100% it, they pay to remove any variation factors. Same goes for most lab stuff.

Have no clue but tend to agree. Not required for exploratory stuff like on this channel though :)

Not sure who came up with removing all variations in order to 'baseline' ; it's a monocultural bland paradigm and actually eliminates any spice which extends life and expands consciousness. We need to understand and implement the interaction between rosemary, cell growth and antibacterial properties for instance as this among others can play a vital part in organic growth overall

​@@jonhinman2471 Removing variation is the only way to be sure your results are the the product of the experiment and not some outside force. I've never seen anyone argue against that. Then in the experiment you can make as many/much variations as you want.

@@jonhinman2471 It's just meant for running experiments, that's not meant to be a final product.

Maybe the industry should move away from proprietary formulas to standardized formulas

@@kokofan50 as the video says, more or less each DMEM contain the same ingredients however such small differences may create certain issues. The point here is the homemade recipes will complicate the issue even more and academia will probably won't like it.

Hell yeah, let's break those price gouging monopolies and cartels that make research unnecessarily expensive!!! Also, I agree small differences in cell culture media do cause issues. But in a hypothetical situation where labs are making their own DMEM from the same recipe, I believe from my experiences in cell culture that variability that already exists due to differences between lots of FBS is way more significant than the likely differences between homemade batches of DMEM substitute. I hope that sentence made sense.

Not everyone has a local Asian market. I know my town sure doesn’t, and it’s the second biggest in the state I’m in. The most Asian thing I can buy here is like… lo mein noodles from an actual Asian restaurant and offbrand pockys from Trader Joe’s

Thing is, Thought Emporium is a Canadian channel, and outside of major cities it can be very difficult to find ethnic markets that sell stuff like that. Even within the shops that do, it can be difficult. I know here in Manitoba, there's a store in Winnipeg called Oomomo, it specialises in Japanese products. I have not once seen Pocari Sweat or Dakari Green there, but even if i had the stock changes with whats popular in Japan. but Japanese products in general can be hard to locate here. Most Asian markets i've seen cater more towards Chinese and Filipino products as we just have a much larger population of Chinese and Filipino immigrants than we do Japanese.

​@@solofdragons6446inside London, Ontario, there are a couple of Asian Markets, and I'm decently sure they have those there, if he lives nearby or wants to make the trip, it's a good idea to check.

I don't think that will ever fly because it's not just the "affordable kit" that's involved in this. It's also all the equipment required and the sterilization and handling protocols required to grow meat tissue in labs. This team is trained in that area, and even then they're prone to mistakes because that's how it goes. So letting the average Joe meddle with this sounds like a good recipe for an outburst of salmonella or something like that. I'm not a chemist or a biologist, but with my experience in IT and programming I can attest: the hardest thing to do is making your process user-proof. Someone *will* find a way to screw things over, and in the case of foods, the responsibility falls back on the distribution company.

Wait, let me guess: The states trying to ban this are also full of right-wing, book-burning, cucumbers?

@@sparking023 Off the top of my head, I'd ask if you knew anyone who ever sued hasbro for their kid getting food poisoning from an Easy-Bake Oven cake. Or, alternatively, sued betty crocker after using unrelated salmonella-infected eggs in a cupcake batter and let their kid lick the spoon. It seems to me that whatever products would be made of a kit like this would fall under the same kind of legal classifications. As long as the obvious, instructed, and prescribed usage of the kit and its supplementary products is safe, user mishandling would be seen as exactly that, and not tie back to the kit distributor.

Orchid, organ, potato pataya

@fisrtnamelastname3083 well growing orchids from seed is akin to cell culture due to how orchids have evolved. The seeds don't have an endosperm (they are more akin to spores than seeds) and rely on mycorrhizal fungi to provide the developing seedling with nutrients. When growing them, you have to put them in a medium to recreate the conditions. As a result, you need to work aseptic!
