Yeah, and that's true. Over time, our bodies make less and less collagen, and no matter what we drink, we get brittle bones and we get all wrinkly. So in our never-ending quest to slow the hands of time, people have taken to gulping collagen.
Right, well, you're not wrong. Mostly from cows, pigs, chickens, and fish. Nothing like a big glass of cow-chicken-pig-fish juice.
Yeah, several studies have been conducted and results are promising, particularly when it comes to the skin. The others found that taking collagen supplements daily for at least three months improved skin elasticity and hydration and reduced wrinkles.
In addition, another study found that collagen supplements were linked to improvements in cardiovascular health, including blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
In addition, another study showed that men who drink the barnyard slurry while working out showed increased muscle strength compared to those who just took a placebo.
Yeah, and you're right. Whey is better for building muscles, but if you're already drinking collagen for skin health, this might be an extra added little benefit.
No, not really. According to a recent study, collagen is safe and carries very low risk of side effects, even at really high doses. I guess you can safely drink the entire cow. The only caveat I saw is that there's no real evidence that collagen is beneficial to hair and nails.
I live in Southern California and I can tell you that if you want to look good, there's something to that staying out of the sun advice.
Absolutely. You know what else is in is teeth whitening. And I've seen people whose teeth are so bright you get a tan just from standing in front of them. In fact, I kind of have this public service announcement. There is such a thing as too white of teeth. I'm looking at you, local newscasters.
That's true. But actually, it's not just as of late. Our old friends, the Egyptians, started tooth whitening 4,000 years ago. They had a paste made of ground pumice stone and wine vinegar. Then, like now, white teeth were a sign of beauty and wealth.
Yeah, absolutely. But you're going to love this one. Look at the Romans. They had a great way of whitening teeth.
They used urine. The ammonia in the urine was the bleaching agent.
Oh, yeah. It's gross. And you'll notice, by the way, I did not say they used their urine to clean their teeth. I just said they used urine. I couldn't find where they actually got the urine to clean their teeth. But don't just assume because there were lots of places to get urine in ancient Rome. They used it for a bunch of stuff.
No, it's not that far off of tooth whitening because, like I said, it's the properties of the urine that whitened the togas that also whitened the teeth. In ancient Rome, there were giant pots placed in front of laundry businesses. Anyone could pee in the pot. In fact, the owners encouraged you to pee in their pot. Later, it would be collected and used to clean clothes or possibly whiten teeth.
That was the Romans. In the late 1700s, the barber took care of your teeth. He did normal stuff to whiten your teeth, like filing them and applying acid to them.
Oh, yeah. Luckily, we discovered fluoride in the 19th century, which is better for tooth health than acid. But actually, fluoride stains teeth. But it's not the real problem, like coffee and tea. Tooth whitening works by using bleaching agents. The most common today are hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide.
Yeah, there is a risk of increased tooth sensitivity. I did find a horror story of a woman in the UK having her lips swell up like balloons. But after further reading, turns out she just went to some random person's house and God knows what this person put on her teeth. For the most part, it's safe. If you want white teeth, go for it.
I just think super white teeth look weird, especially on high def TV, particularly in front of a green screen weather map. But hey, that's just me.
Yeah, that is a hilarious movie. It turns out white teeth come with half the headaches as a fresh new head of hair in terms of the side effects and all that.
Probably not. For one, I'm married, so she's stuck. And for two, in researching this topic, I decided that I disagree with the notion that there's anything about me that needs to be cured. In fact, I was reading... this old British newspaper from the 1700s when they had sham cures for baldness coming out. And the author said that the best cure for baldness is to just not be bothered by it.
