Do You Take Vitamins? Try This!

this video says the maker knows nothing about science

its trying to say how vitamins will effect the cells of the apple. AND YES!! Most living organisms already have nutrients in them. Animals need vitamins too. My pets get vitamins as often as they are needed to as well. The apples do contain living cells and cells all share the same goal. We used apples since they did a fast job absorbing. Do you see these vitamins doing better than water? The answer is no.

These do FAR more than protect against free radicals, they help chemical reactions (or are the reactants), repair cells, etc.

whats the point of this video?... put the same apples inside the same water in the same conditions shown in the video, BUT without vitamins.... you will notice that happens exactly the same thing(just without colors)...... then what will u say? that water is bad for living cells??..... this video is crap

The point of the video is how the vitamins will effect the apples, I did state this in the video but I guess you did not watch all the way :( , but what I said was WHY NOT JUST DRINK WATER?!! The apple changes because of oxidation, the point of vitamins is to protect! If these vitamins were effective then they would have an outcome better than water.

"The apple changes because of oxidation, the point of vitamins is to protect! If these vitamins were effective then they would have an outcome better than water."
First of all you have to define whats "better"... for me, an apple full of vitamins and water is better than an apple full of water... in this video u just show that apples absorve water with vitamins and that they suffer the effects of the oxidation..... this video dont proof that vitamins are not as good as we would think they are....

the point of vitamins are to protect cells and keep them oxidized, you may have perceived me wrong since I do admit to have not explained enough in the video, but I never said vitamins are bad, I take vitamins myself and I make sure what I take is safe for my body to absorb, do you know what is going in your body when you take vitamins and do you know which agency approves of your vitamins?

since you will add a conclusion, please show us how your(good) vitamins work.... complete this video with the new results,then we'll be able to compare the results and, with your explanation, we'll take better conclusions.

The viatmins in your supplements such as Vit. C are anti-oxidants, however there is more to it than that. The metal ions which are present in the supplements can react with the acid of the apple. Instead of using water, you should have used 200mM phosphate buffer to control for the pH imbalance. In addition to using some metal chealators to remove the unwanted effect of the metal ions.

never thought about that, just trying to keep it simple, oh and vitamin e is a more beneficial known anti-oxidant :)

If you really want to show if vitamins or anti-oxidants are beneficial, then you can clearly see this cell cultures. We have to add vitamins or our cells will not grow in our flasks. If you look up culture mediums like Hams-F12 or DMEM you can see all of the requirements. Is this a school project?

no it was actually a work project :)

vitamins do protect but they dont stop oxygen from reaching the apple! oxygen is not exactly somthing harmful

I will make another video with better explanation to this since most people seem to misunderstand. My apologize

well just like everyone else you perceived it wrong, my main idea of the video is just to let others know that these vitamins brands dont work as good as you think they do, not that vitamins are bad, just that is is all hype and commercials that lead people to think these vitamins are really good for you. I am not talking about all vitamin brands just these ones that I listed. I know what I know from vitamins because I work with them...I know my video was not clear but I get fed up with the same comments over n over..maybe I should post a video with a more potent vitamin and give everyone the results

These aren't valid tests of anything, you might as well have poured the vitamins into your gas tank and compared fuel economy to determine how effective they'd be in a human body. One thing has nothing to do with another. I think you're the one who missed the point, in science class somewhere around second or third grade.

When you say you 'work with vitamins' what exactly does that mean? Do you sell them at the mall or formulate them in the lab? If you do the latter, please let me know what company you work for!

If I put black dye in the water with the apple the apple will never turn as black as it did with the vitamins...and do you know why? probably not...because you missed my point even though I stated it in the video, My point is that even though these vitamins are most popular among us, they are not as great as the claim to be...Just mostly hype you get from commercials. I take vitamins not just to take vitamins but because I do feel a difference in the vitamins I take.

You know it is a really ignorant statement to Blame the entire west. I read what you have to say and I completely agree with what the point that you made. I think you should and can blame American public school, because they don't teach you anything. I know I went for a while. Also you could just blame Lazy people who get an idea in their head and are not going to change it, because that is what this seems like to me, and has nothing to do with "western education."

Western Education and American Public Schools may have their faults, just like any other system, or society, or culture. But both geniuses and idiots graduate from them, as well as everything in between. This video was not made by a genius, but I doubt either of your comments was authored by one either.

you know I thought someone might of thought that so I decided not to put up my vitamins :) but I came to a decision I am going to do it anyways

what a surprise!

any vitamin that is nsf approved will get you going, I will make another video showing an apple in black dye and an apple with a more reliable vitamin

well centrum still scored less than 100's of other brands but if you really want to have something going into your body you want to make sure that it is nsf approved. :) I use healthpak 100 vitamins.

im not discouraging anyone to not take vitamins, I think you might miss my point, Vitamins are essential just the ones in the video ranked to lowest of 100's of other vitamins, Ill post a video with an apple that looks yummy in my vitamins :)

an apple is a pomme. yes that is also french for apple, but the scientific name for an apple is pomme. which also means, that their reproduction does not work in the same way as other "fruits". and your comment about nitrates and phosphates is wrong. They are actually bad for the soil...

before the experiment I stated the purpose of this video, what I am demonstrating is cells, a vitamins role is to protect our cells and keep it living. We do not burn vitamins for any kinds of activity, vitamins main role is to purposely protect the cells, and to add to your comment, the apples did not do a good job storing the vitamins like they were suppose to.

Your losing this fight, you got your thinking reversed. Like rocket-science said, the reason the apple is changed is because it is absorbing, but not using, the vitamins. The human body constantly uses vitamins, and the body needs them, so by using water, all that is doing is preserving the apple. What you are saying is that it is better to drown than to take vitamins. that doesn't sound right. And you claim we misunderstood you, we don't, you misunderstood the human body and its functions.

the point was to let people know that these vitamin company in the video are bad :( , I use to take these until I learn from my company that what is stated on the nutrition facts of those vitamins are not all 100% which they should be. I take vitamins myself and know which ones are the potent ones.

But I do apologize on my part for not being clear on the video, I will add a conclusion and post it when ready

we are talking about living cells here. Both apple and human are both living cells, cells are cells if you studied biology then you will know that all cells share a common brain. There are vitamins that I have that keep the apples glowing golden.

it will keep longer, but if I drink the anti-freeze I'll die. So what's the value of drawing a conclusion based on the results to the apples? A'll cells don't share a common brain, that's just ridiculous. There is also a very broad difference and distinct types of cells that act very differently from one to another and whether they are alive or dead, especially when it comes to absorption through cell
membranes.

You're playing with your food, not conducting any kind of science.

some people require a more visual explaination of things than written explaination. Would you rather see video, or read a video? I was curious about the experiment for something totally different than what he demonstrated it for. It would have been interesting to see the obsorbtion rate of those chemical on an apple by cutting it cross wise to see how deep it went.
2nd. I don't waste my time writting comments about videos I didnt like.

you wrote more. I don't count the words of comments I don't like.

because of oxidation it turns brown, vitamins are suppose to help protect our cells from oxidation and free radicals. These vitamins dont do a good job in the first place, this is why I tried to demonstrate it in the vid.

coz you keep saying vitamins are supposed to protect living cells and all....
thats not entirely true. vitamins gives supplements to the existing nutrients in your body.

and is not made for just "living cells". if it were the case, the living bacteria in our bodies would be benefiting from the vitamins as well, which would make it redundant...

instead vitamins are made for "a group of living cells" with different functions and living in different living conditions. (e.g acidic, basic, oxygenated etc.) and the living conditions for apple cells are different for human cells. thus this experiment has many flaws. and your explanations have flaws too.

ok. Now I get you! lol, I totally missunderstood this video :)

Keep it up :)

i see your point of view but I do work with vitamins just so you know...

but in reality if I just added food coloring to the water the apples would barely absorb it. If you try it with a black coloring the apples would not even absorb it as much to the point it looks burnt. Apples like everything else living is suppose to absorb, in this case it which is suppose to be nutrients from the vitamins.

well im sure you wouldnt want to eat an apple and take those vitamins, my point is that the vitamins in the video scored the worst out of many of the 100's vitamin brands out there. The video was just to show how vitamins would protect cells

The dyes have been of some concern in the past, but typically they are comprised of iron oxide or titanium oxide and now are relatively safe. Most dyes undergo a screening process which looks at their chemical structure and looks for similarities in other compounds that are known carcinogens. If it is hazardous, it typically is not used. I wouldn't worry. Car exhaust and pollution are probably more severe.
