>>> WELCOME BACK.
IF YOU'RE LIKE MOST
ARIZONANS, YOU CAN'T STAND
THE TASTE OF YOUR TAP WATER,
YOU'RE TIRED OF BUYING
BOTTLED WATER, AND YOU'RE
SICK OF STRUGGLING TO SCR
OFF HARD-WATER DEPOSITS.
DERK CHAMBERLIN IS HERE TO
TELL US HOW THINGS COULD BE
BETTER.
>> ABSOLUTELY, ALEX.
>> WE'RE HERE DEBUNK
MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT TAP
WATER.
TELL US ABOUT IT.
>> PROBABLY THE BIGGEST
MISCONCEPTION IS THAT
BECAUSE IT'S CLEAR, THERE'S
NOTHING BAD IN IT.
AND BELIEVE ME, THERE IS.
YOU KNOW, BUT -- MOST OF THE
BAD STUFF, YOU CAN'T SEE,
TASTE, SMELL, LEAD, ARSENIC,
BACTERIA, THEY DON'T SMELL,
SO YOU THINK THEY'RE NOT
THERE.
THEY ARE.
I HEAR ALL THE TIME, WELL,
GEE, MY PARENTS AND
GRANDPARENTS DRANK THE WATER
ALL THEIR LIVES, AND THEY
DIDN'T SUFFER FROM ANYTHING
BAD.
THAT MAY BE TRUE, BUT YOU
KNOW WHAT?
THE WATER THAT OUR PARENTS
AND GRANDPARENTS DRANK WAS
VASTLY DIFFERENT THAN THE
WATER THAT WE DRINK TODAY.
>> WELL, THAT DOESN'T SOUND
GOOD ALREADY.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN
SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THAT?
>> MOST OF THE STUFF WE'RE
FINDING ARE CHEMICALS FROM
MANUFACTURING, FERTILIZERS,
DIDN'T EVEN EXIST WHEN OUR
PARENTS AROUND.
THEY'RE FINDING CHROMIUM 6
IN WATER ALL AROUND ARIZONA,
AND THAT'S THE DEADLY STUFF
THAT THEY MADE THE ER
BROCKOVICH MOVIE ABOUT.
THE WORST THING IN OUR WATER
IS THE CHLORINE THAT THEY
PUT IN IT TO DISINFECT IT.
>> AND USUALLY WHEN YOU COME
ON, WE TALK ABOUT CHLORINE,
BUT WHY IS SO BAD FOR PEOPLE
TO CONSUME IT?
>> YOU KNOW WHAT, THEY'VE
FOUND THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE
EXPOSED TO CHLORINATED WATER
INCREASED THEIR LIKELIHOOD
OF GETTING CANCER BY 93
PERCENT.
I MEAN, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
AND YOU SAY YOUR PARENTS,
GRANDPARENTS DIDN'T HAVE
ANYTHING -- DID THEY HAVE
HEART DISEASE?
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE?
ASTHMA?
THOSE HAVE ALL BEEN LINKED
TO CHLORINE IN THE WATER.
LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
THIS IS ORDINARY TUCSON TAP
WATER, THE SAME WATER, SO
THAT'S WHY I'M POURING IT
OUT OF ONE GLASS.
THIS IS THE POOL TEST DROPS
THAT YOU TEST YOUR BACKYARD
SWIMMING POOL.
I'LL PUT FIVE DROPS IN
THERE.
IF IT TURNS YELLOW.
>> OKAY, INSTANTLY.
>> THAT MEANS THERE'S
CHLORINE IN THERE.
>> THAT'S A LOT.
>> YEAH.
WHAT I'M GOING TO DO, I'M
GOING TO SWISH MY FINGERS
AROUND.
THIS IS THE SAME WATER THAT
I POURED OUT OF THE OTHER
CUP.
THIS IS TO SIMULATE TAKING A
SHOWER OR BATH.
SAME NUMBER OF DROPS.
>> OKAY, I DON'T SEE
ANYTHING.
SO THAT MEANS THAT ALL OF
THAT CHLORINE WENT --
>> RIGHT THROUGH THE SKIN OF
MY FINGERS AND RIGHT INTO MY
BLOODSTREAM.
THAT'S HOW FAST IT HAPPENS.
THAT'S HOW FAST IT HAPPENS
IN THE SHOWER OR BATH WHEN
YOU'RE BATHING.
THAT'S HOW MUCH CHLORINE
YOU'RE ABSORBING.
>> THAT'S TERRIFYING.
WE HAVE PAINTED THI VERY
BLEAK PICTURE LIKE IT'S
IMPOSSIBLE TO GET AWAY FROM
THE CHLORINE IN OUR WATER,
BUT THERE IS SOMETHING
PEOPLE CAN DO.
>> IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE
TASTE OF YOUR TAP WATER --
AND THAT'S WHY MOST PEOPLE
GET A SYSTEM; THEY DON'T
LIKE THE TASTE, BUT I'VE
SHOWN YOU THERE, THERE MAY
BE BETTER REASONS.
IF YOU'RE TIRED OF BUYING
BOTTLED WATER, TIRED OF
FIGHTING HARD-WATER
DEPOSITS, IT'S PROBABLY TIME
TO CONSIDER GETTING A
WHOLE-HOUSE SYSTEM THAT
FILTERS ALL THE WATER COMING
INTO YOUR HOUSE.
THE BEST ONE I'VE FOUND IS
THAT ONE I BROUGHT ALONG
FROM H2O CONCEPTS.
>> RUN THROUGH THE OTHER
SYSTEMS ON THE SCREEN.
>> THAT ONE SYSTEM, ALEX,
WILL GIVE YOU GREAT-TASTING
WATER AT EVERY FAUCET, SO
YOU WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER
CASE OF BOTTLED WATER.
IT FILTERS YOUR SHOWER AND
BATH WATER, SO YOU'RE NOT
ABSORBING IT THROUGH YOUR
SKIN.
THERE IS NO MORE SCRUBBING
HARD WATER PROBLEMS, AFTER
THEIR PATENTED ELECTRONICS.
AND ONCE THIS IS INSTALLED,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TOUCH IT
FOR TEN YEARS, NO SALT TO
BUY, NO FILTERS TO CHANGE,
NOTHING LIKE, THAT AND IT
COMES WITH A10-YEAR
NO-NONSENSE WARRANTY.
ANYONE WHO HAS A WARRANTY
THAT GOOD ON THEIR PRODUCT
IS PRETTY CONFIDENT, AND
CONFIDENT BECAUSE IT'S BEEN
TESTED AND CERTIFIED BY MORE
OUTSIDE LABORATORIES THAN
ANY OTHER PATENTED SYSTEM ON
THE MARKET, SO YOU KNOW IT'S
GOING TO DO WHAT THEY SAY
IT'S GOING TO DO.
>> THAT CONFIDENCE IS BACKED
UP BY A SPECIAL H2O CONCEPTS
IS RUNNING.
>> IF YOU'RE WATCHING THE
SHOW AND YOU CALL RIGHT NOW
AND SAY YOU SAW IT ON "THE
MORNING BLEND," YOU'LL GET A
$600 DISCOUNT, FREE NORMAL
INSTALLATION, SO THAT WON'T
COST YOU A DIME, A THERE
ARE FINANCING PACKAGES TO
FIT ANY BUDGET O.A.C.
BUT WITH WATER, ALEX, IT'S
ALL ABOUT TASTE.
>> OH, YEAH, WE KNOW THAT ON
THIS SHOW FOR SURE.
>> THIS IS ACTUALLY TUCSON
TAP WATER AFTER IT'S BEEN
THROUGH ONE OF THOSE
SYSTEMS.
>> SO IT'S BEEN RUN THROUGH
THE H2O SYSTEM, YOU'VE
COOLED IT DOWN FOR ME.
LET'S TRY IT OUT.
DERK, THA IS SOME
HIGH-QUALITY H20 RIGHT
THERE.
THAT'S DELICIOUS.
>> IT'S LIKE GETTING BETTER
THAN BOTTLED-QUALITY WATER
OUT OF EVERY FAUCET AND
SHOWER IN YOUR HOME.
>> THANKS FOR HYDRATING ME
AND FOR TELLING ME ABOUT
THIS.
IF YOU'RE READY FOR
GREAT-TASTING WATER AT EVERY
FAUCET, NO CHLORINE OR
CONTAMINANTS IN THE SHOWER,
NO MORE HARD WATER PROBLEMS,

You Can Learn Anything on The YouTube - Duration: 4:04.
So I have said many, many times I love watching animal videos on YouTube.
Do you like watching animals videos on YouTube?
>> [APPLAUSE] >> I love them.
I love them so very much.
I will watch a dog.
I will watch a cat.
I will watch a dog with a cat.
>> [LAUGH] >> I'll watch a goat.
I'll watch a horse. I'll watch a chinchilla.
You get the idea.
I don't need to name all the animals.
There's a lot. >> [LAUGH]
>> But it turns out there are a lot of
other kinds of videos on YouTube, did you know that?
They don't even have animals in them.
There are tutorial videos that are very popular.
You can learn how to do anything at all if you watch.
Did you see this headline here?
This week, an eight-year-old boy in Ohio used YouTube to learn how to drive.
He took his four year old sister to McDonald's.
>> [LAUGH] >> If they were smart,
they would've gone to Denny's cuz kids eat free.
So that was- >> [LAUGH]
>> Smart, but not all the way smart.
The boy drove almost two miles.
Witnesses said he drove safely, followed all the laws, didn't hit anything,
which means he's already a better driver than most people in Los Angeles.
>> [LAUGH] >> People here.
[SOUND] >> [LAUGH]
>> It happened around eight o'clock at
night, he took money from his piggy bank to buy food for his sister.
>> Aw.
>> Sweet. Then someone at McDonald's recognized him
and called the grandparents to come pick him up.
Isn't that scary though?
I mean, an elderly person driving after dark to pick him up?
>> [LAUGH] [APPLAUSE] >> I mean,
obviously I'm glad this story has a happy ending, but
it made me wonder what other things you could learn about on YouTube.
So here's what I found.
Makeup tutorials are very popular, very.
Here's a girl showing how to put mascara on.
>> You know now they have like really fancy mascara with little a battery inside
and you will vibrate.
And, but you know what?
You can do the same thing.
And if your mascara don't vibrate, you just vibrate your head like this.
>> [LAUGH] [APPLAUSE]
[LAUGH]
[APPLAUSE]
>> We don't have time to show you
the whole thing, but here's the finished product after she put it on.
>> [LAUGH] [APPLAUSE] >> That's a [LAUGH]-
>> [LAUGH]
>> It's okay.
>> Hey, you guys, another idea.
If you can't get an electric toothbrush, just hold the brush and just do that.
>> [LAUGH] >> This next video is called
a proper opossum massage, in case you were looking for one.
>> Always work both sides of the body.
Otherwise, you might inadvertently interfere with your opossum's natural chi.
>> [LAUGH] >> And nobody wants that.
>> [LAUGH] >> Next, we knead down the quadriceps.
We're checking for knots.
Ugh!
And I think I found one.
Okay.
>> [LAUGH] >> Move it out.
There.
I bet that feels better!
>> [LAUGH] >> I have been doing it all wrong.
>> [LAUGH] >> I've been messing with an opossum's chi
and I didn't even know it.
Finally, here's a guy showing us how to use his taser.
>> Hold up, I'm gonna shock this can.
Look. Look.
[SOUND] Holy [BLEEP]!
[INAUDIBLE] [BLEEP]!
Now I'm about to shock this.
[SOUND] >> [LAUGH]
[APPLAUSE]
>> All right.
[LAUGH] All right.
>> How many people saw that coming right before it?
Everybody, everybody.
What was going on in the background?
I don't know if you saw that.
>> [LAUGH] >> Let's watch it again.
>> Now I'm about to shock this.
[SOUND] >> [LAUGH]
>> [LAUGH] It was a shock, and
then a shock after that!
>> [LAUGH] >> Here's something just as shocking.
You'll never guess what's about to happen right now.
We're gonna dance!
[APPLAUSE]

Can You Use Light To CONTROL Your Brain? - Duration: 4:18.
Sitting right on your shoulders right now is one of the most complex things in our universe
- the human brain, which on average is composed of over 100 BILLION CELLS.
This roughly 3 pound lump is responsible for your actions, feelings, memories, and so much
more - basically it's what allows you to experience the world around you.
Whenever you think, dream, laugh, or even move, these brain cells are sending perfectly
coordinated electrical and chemical signals to each other at speeds faster than you can
imagine - at one thousandths of a second or less!
No supercomputer in the world can even come close to the power and ability your amazing
brain has.
There are two primary types of brain cells - neurons, which are responsible for signalling,
form various networks of pathways and circuits that transmit information to each other as
well as the muscles and glands throughout the body.
There are also glial cells, which support neurons in many different ways.
Due to genetic predispositions, structural disruptions, infections, certain lifestyles,
and environmental factors, our neural pathways can suffer from deficits and malfunction,
leading to the development of neurological disorders.
Current technology is still too crude, lacking in both spatial and temporal specificity,
and this has greatly hindered the search for cures and advancement in psychiatric research,
but this may soon be changed.
Optogenetics is an exciting technique that involves the use of light to control cells.
In these experiments, neurons have been modified to express light-sensitive ion channels.
This idea was actually originated from a protein used by algae and microbes, and it regulates
the flow of electric charge across cell membranes in response to light.
Therefore, by using optic fibres to shine light onto cells,it can actually turn a specific
neuron on or off, and the resulting behaviour or change in animals can be observed in real
time!!
The level of precision this method offers is crucial, as it allows for control over
defined events within defined cell types at defined times.
The goal of Optogenetics is to find a way to control the activity in brain cells without
disrupting any other networks, so that we can focus on what is happening at the level
of single neurons.
Dr. Ed Boyden, Associate Professor
at MIT, states that if the molecules are delivered to some cells and not others, the light being
shone onto that network can turn that subset of cells on or off.
If it is possible to control these cells, then scientists would be able to study the
contributions of certain neural networks to a certain behaviour.
It would then be much easier to find out what kinds of behaviour or disorders specific patterns
of brain activity can initiate or stop.
Dr. Karl Deisseroth and his colleagues
have contributed to the expanding field of optogenetics by using these techniques to
examine dopamine neurons in depression - which are found deep in the midbrain and play a
major role in the brain's reward system and our experience of pleasure.
Dr. Deisseroth observed that what used to be pleasurable to a person no longer produces
the same effect in the depressed brain.
The experience of positive things in life is greatly diminished, and that contributes
to the worsening of depression.
It is known that dopamine neurons become active when something unexpectedly good happens,
but their exact role was unclear.
In this experiment, certain dopamine neurons in mice were made sensitive to light to test
whether or not they actually produced the pleasurable feelings or played some other
role.
When light was sent down through a fine optical fibre to prompt electrical activity in freely-moving
mice, the mice behaved as if they were rewarded, and stayed in areas where they had received
the light.
This is only the first step in understanding more about the patterns that trigger behavioural
conditioning, reinforcement, and reward, as dopamine neurons plays a primary role in many
different illnesses, from Parkinson's disease to addiction.
Optogenetics has the potential to revolutionize modern medicine, as it can extend its application
to an enormous number of fields - not just mental illness, from retinal diseases and
deafness to different types of seizures.
This powerful new technique seems extremely promising, as it could bring us into a new
era of medicine by helping us understand exactly how specific patterns of activity in the brain
gives rise to memories, feelings, and behaviours, and thus, greatly expand our understanding
of the brain's incredible complexity.

I can do all things through Christ except... - UNLEARN the lies - Duration: 3:55.
Have you ever heard someone tell you "I can do all things through Christ except obey His
commandments"?
You might be surprised at how many people actually think this way.
It's time to UNLEARN the lies.
UNLEARN
Hey, welcome to UNLEARN.
My name is Lex, and I'd like to invite you to join us each week as we search out Biblical
truth together and UNLEARN the lies we have inherited.
Now, let's get started.
When someone is struggling with a difficult situation, Christians are often quick to say
things like "We are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus", or "nothing is impossible with
God", or "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
It's also common to hear cliches such as "give it to God", but when you ask them if they
keep all of God's commandments, they say, "nobody can keep all of those commandments",
or "its impossible for us to keep the Law".
So, what happened to "I can do all things through Christ" and "nothing is impossible
with God"?
The truth is, the Bible says if we love God we will keep His commandments, and His commandments
are not too difficult for us.
"For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments.
And His commandments are not burdensome."
- 1 John 5:3
It's also common to hear Christians claim that we can never stop sinning and we will
always be sinners, but the Bible says something quite different.
"Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.
And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.
Whoever abides in Him does not sin.
Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.
Little children, let no one deceive you.
He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.
He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot
sin, because he has been born of God.
In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not
practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother."
- 1 John 3:4-10
Did you catch that?
This is how you know if someone is born of God, because he no longer walks in sin.
Those who walk in sin are children of the Devil, but those who walk in righteousness
are children of God and they do not sin.
This is because "we are more than conquerors in Messiah Yeshua", and although it seems
difficult at times to resist sin "nothing is impossible with God".
Did you know the Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit is given to cause us to walk in obedience
to God's commandments?
"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of
stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep
My judgments and do them."
- Ezekiel 36:26-27
This means if you have the Holy Spirit within you, you are able to keep His commandments.
In fact, He will cause you to walk in obedience to them.
So, the next time someone tells you that "we can't keep the Law" or "we can't stop sinning",
tell them, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" and see how they respond.

Three parsons in each one I like had five or something so they're like a little bit smaller this one
But this one is the ultimate one and if you don't know I'm pretty big logic fan myself
Not wearing any logic shirts or hoodies because you know I was trying get the best look for the camera
Yeah, oh, alright and one last thing before we start the video
I want you guys to actually go subscribe to this dude because he's been a
Rat Rat Pack Sam
That's why have you got to go subscribe to anybody in the rat pack we all support each other so yeah, he's uh

WHAT WAS FUNNY, SARAH SAT THERE YESTERDAY AND ASKED TO US LOOK

SO YOU'RE PROMOTING IN ESSENCE FALSE MEDIA, AND ACCUSING THE
REST OF US OF BEING FALSE MEDIA. >> EVEN MAKING UP YOUR OWN
"TIME" MAGAZINE COVER. >> SO BRIAN, MY BELIEF IS THAT
THIS IS A PRE-MEDITATED STRATEGY OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING OFF THE CUFF.
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT COMES UP WITH AN OCCASIONAL PIECE THAT
THEY DEEM TO BE OFFENSIVELY WRONG TO THEM, TO THEIR POINT OF
VIEW, WHATEVER. THIS IS A PRE-MEDITATED
ANTI-JOURNALISM STRATEGY THAT I FEAR HAS TAKEN SOME HOLD IN THIS
COUNTRY. DO YOU BUY INTO THAT?
>> I AGREE WITH YOU. >> TOTALLY.
>> 100%. IT'S ONE OF THE FEW STRATEGIES
I'VE SEEN FROM THIS WHITE HOUSE, AND IT HAS BEEN ONGOING, AND
LOOK, I DON'T LUMP EVERYBODY IN WITH THAT.
THEY'VE DONE SOME THINGS THAT ARE INCREDIBLY OPEN, ADDING
SKYPE TO THEIR PRESS BRIEFINGS, BRINGING IN MEMBERS OF THE
CABINET FOR BRIEFINGS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME WHEN THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES, EVEN THIS MORNING, IS TWEETING OUT FAKE
MEDIA, AND TELLING US WE'RE THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, HE'S
ENFLAMING THE VERY PEOPLE WHO GOT HIM IN OFFICE.
HE'S SPEAKING TO HIS BASE AND HE'S TRYING TO UNDERMINE THE
VERY ESSENCE OF WHAT WE DO, AND THAT'S NOT GOOD FOR THIS
REPUBLIC. IT'S NOT GOOD FOR THIS COUNTRY.
IT'S AN ATHEA AND WE HAVE TO STAND UP TO IT AND MORE OF US
HAVE TO STAND UP TO IT EVERY DAY.
SOMEONE JOKED WITH ME LAST NIGHT, DO YOU THINK THEY'LL PULL
MY PRESS PASS? I HOPE NOT BUT I HOPE OTHERS
WILL, YOU KNOW, STAND UP AND BE COUNTED AS WELL.

Can Men Lactate? - Duration: 9:19.
Hello I'm Daven Hiskey, you're watching the Today I Found Out Youtube channel, in
the video today, we're looking at whether men can lactate or not.
The ability to lactate exists in a variety of male animals, though male milk production
is typically a rare occurrence.
However, male Dayak fruit bats are commonly known to lactate.
So what about human male lactation?
Believe it or not, men can, in fact, lactate.
Possessing all the necessary equipment (see our video: Why Do Men Have Nipples), the main
reasons men don't have it happen very often is mostly just a lack of sufficient amounts
of a single necessary hormone.
Milk is produced in small hollow cavities in breast tissue called alveoli, where the
linings contain cells that secrete milk when properly triggered.
While there are a variety of things that go into someone lactating, including various
hormones, the main trigger for milk production is sufficient amounts of the hormone prolactin,
which is primarily produced by the pituitary gland, though also by the prostate in men
and a layer of the uterine wall known as the myometrium in women, among other places.
Both men and women have alveoli, but typically have markedly different levels of prolactin.
In fact, a normal non-pregnant woman has around one third to twice the hormone than the average
man at any given time.
Late in a pregnancy and after giving birth, prolactin levels can peak as high as ten times
more in these women compared to what you'll typically find in males.
So how can men lactate without the necessary processes involved in child birth triggering
a ramp up of prolactin production?
Prolactin is ultimately metabolized by the liver helping to regulate its concentration
in the body in conjunction with certain mechanisms in the hypothalamus.
When the liver isn't functioning properly, abnormally high levels of certain hormones
may build up.
This is what is thought to have happened to hundreds of male POWs during WWII, who, after
suffering months of starvation, began lactating during their recovery; experts opine that
the stress and deprivation interfered with the liver and certain hormone producing glands'
normal activities.
Once properly fed, the liver took longer to recover than the hormone producing glands-
pertinent to the topic at hand resulting in a build-up of concentration of prolactin in
the POWs' bodies, causing them to start lactating.
More recently a report in the Canadian Medical Association Journal documented a case of a
man who had a pituitary tumor that resulted in, among other things, overproduction of
prolactin, causing him to lactate.
In fact, there are numerous reports throughout history of men lactating, including in The
Talmud, where a poor man whose wife died while their baby was quite young had "a miracle
. . . his breasts opened and he nursed his child."
Further, in Numbers 11:12 in the Bible, (whether claiming it was a then known literal occurrence
or just a sarcastic speech isn't fully clear) it notes, "Have I conceived all this people?
Have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a
nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their
fathers?"
In Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine (1896), Gould & Pyle report that both a male South
American native and male Brazilian missionaries nursed children after their wives lost the
ability.
And a similar much more modern and well documented report was made in 2002 of a Sri Lankan man,
Mr. B Wijeratne (why-jer-ott-ne), who took up breastfeeding his 18 month old daughter
after his wife died giving birth to their second child.
He initially had attempted to feed the older child formula upon her mother's death, but
this was summarily rejected by the toddler.
He later stated, "unable to see her cry, I offered my breast.
That's when I discovered that I could breastfeed her."
If you're wondering how this is possible, it's known that expectant fathers and those
with newborns also see a spike in prolactin compared to their normal levels.
While not anywhere close to enough to cause lactation in men normally, you may be aware
that nipple suckling can result in women who didn't just have a baby ultimately lactating
anyway.
What's less well-known is that the receptors responsible for triggering the brain to in
turn stimulate the pituitary gland to produce more prolactin and trigger the release of
oxytocin, which is necessary to get the milk flowing, exist and function in both men and
women.
This process can commonly be observed in cases of women adopting babies and wanting to breastfeed
them.
They are able to achieve this via regularly having the child suckle and further using
a breast pump every few hours over the course of several weeks.
According to the Goldfarb Breastfeeding Clinic, in a small study they conducted looking at
228 women attempting this, 31% were able to produce enough milk to provide the full caloric
and nutritional needs of the baby.
While that may seem a small percentage, it should be noted that nearly all 228 women
were at least able to provide some milk for their adopted babies.
This same thing can also be observed in various animals, including sometimes used to cause
goats who have never had kids to produce milk.
(And note, growing up in almost literally the middle of nowhere, I personally had a
dog once who never had puppies herself in her near 20 years of life, but for several
years in her youth new litters of kittens produced by various mostly wild barn cats
would inevitably see her breasts engorge as she took over breastfeeding the many kittens.
She'd even eventually become extremely protective of them, ultimately not letting the actual
mother cats go near them anymore.
Sort of bizarre, but the kittens never seemed worse for wear and grew up to be seemingly
healthy cats.
In any event, for men, as with women, the net result of having a baby around and regularly
using a breast pump and letting said baby suckle results in a prolactin spike.
For some men, this may be high enough to trigger milk production, allowing the male to breastfeed
a baby.
(Whether that's what happened in the case of the Sri Lankan man or if he had some other
condition isn't clear, with his physician, Dr. Kamal Jayasinghe, simply noting to the
media, "Men with hyperactive prolactin hormone can produce breast milk.")
There are also some drugs that occasionally have the side effect of increased prolactin
concentration in the body sufficient to cause male lactation, such as the antipsychotic
chlorpromazine (marketed under the name Thorazine and Largactil and the heart medication digoxin).
It should also be noted here that some teenage and adult men produce milk without babies
or drugs.
Called male galactorrhea, it often develops during the hormone surge of puberty, but can
also be caused by hypothyroidism, among other conditions.
Videos documenting such lactation, such as Bodybuilder Chest Milk, abound on the web.
In addition, approximately 5% of newborn babies of both sexes secrete milk from their breasts.
Colloquially called Witch's milk, it is believed to be caused by the combined effects of prolactin
and growth hormones from the mother's milk, along with thyroid and pituitary hormones
from the baby.
The milk produced is similar in composition to a typical woman's milk.
The condition usually subsides within a couple of months.
Finally, as I'm sure there are at least a few men out there interested despite the social
stigma (and potentially some women who'd kill for their men to be able to help out on the
breastfeeding front), outside of the aforementioned nipple suckling technique boosting prolactin
levels, a more effective solution for men would be to simply introduce more prolactin
into the body directly.
However, while this is sometimes done to induce lactation in animals, at least as far as I
can find, it doesn't appear to be a treatment available to human males wanting to breastfeed
their children, and potential side effects of sustained extremely high levels of prolactin
in males doesn't appear to be something currently well studied.
However, it is known that abnormally high prolactin levels can cause a loss of libido
in men and women, and in men potential problems with impotence while said levels remain high.
Further, prolactin is involved in at least 300 known processes in the body, including
playing a role in one's metabolism and immune system, and in men potentially lowering testosterone
levels.
It should also be noted that the general consensus is that, due to certain physiological processes
during puberty, even with sufficient prolactin it is unlikely a breastfeeding father would
produce nearly as much milk as a woman with equivalent levels.
That said, while that seems to be the general consensus of the medical community, I couldn't
actually find any study looking at volume of milk production in lactating males that
have been studied.
And if you're wondering about the nutritional value of human male breast milk compared to
female breast milk, in a 1981 study of a lactating human male, it was determined that, much like
the milk found in both male and female lactating babies, "The concentrations of lactose, proteins,
and electrolytes in the breast secretion of this man are within the range of colostrum
and milk obtained from normal lactating women."
So thanks for watching this video, before you click away though I'd like to call your
attention to a relatively new channel by one of our most frequent contributors, for almost
five years now I believe, Karl Smallwood.
While you may not be familiar with his name, if you've watched this channel long you're
definitely familiar with his work; Karl's written or co-written almost 300 articles
for TodayIFoundOut to date, many of which have ended up on this channel, including some
of our most popular videos such as What's Actually Supposed to Happen When You Land
on Free Parking in Monopoly and That Time Coca-Cola Spent $100 million Intentionally
Filling Cans with Water That Smelled Liked Farts.
He also has done a lot of work for TopTenz, Cracked, and a bunch of other sites.
His new channel, linked in the description below, is called FactFiend and is essentially
an interesting fact channel, but in a quite different style than we do here, or really
anyone does as far as I'm aware, particularly with a heavy dose of Karl's pretty unique
sense of humor thrown in, which often gets a bit filtered in his work for various sites.
Maybe a better name for his channel might have been Smallwood-unchained…
In any event, please do go check out some of his videos and if you like Fact Fiend please
subscribe, and thank you for watching.
