Top 10 Hallucinations in 10 Mins by Dr. Alex Wibberley (AI YouTube)

I'm going to tell you about the top 10 most dangerous hallucinations spread by the YouTube channel Dr. Alex Swiberly. This video is really hard to make because there are hundreds of options and it was really hard to filter the ones that would be the most harmful according to medical research literature and a real emergency doctor that wants to remain anonymous for this video.

They agreed to do this because they share my mission of making the world healthy beyond reason. A mission that started long before my first health research paper was published. By the end of this video, you should know without a doubt that the AI-generated YouTube channel Dr. Alex Swiberly has been not checking the facts and misleading you for its own benefits just to make YouTube content that you watch.

Okay, so this first example is particularly harmful because it could lead to 15% of that channel's viewers dying unnecessarily. It's about chest pain and it says that if it changes when you move, breathe, or press on a specific area, it's less likely to be cardiac. If the pain changes when you move, if you breathe in deeply, or when you press on a very specific area, it's less likely to be cardiac.

So, if people hear this and they experience chest pain and then they press on it and it changes, they think, "Oh, it's not cardiac. It's not a heart attack. I don't need to go see the doctor." So, the research actually shows that 15% of cases that were confirmed after the fact were actually genuine reasons to go see the doctor.

This next one could have hurt people in one of two ways. Um so, the claim is that basically over multiple videos, strenuous exercise, strenuous exercise, is not good enough for health. You can see the video right here. One hour of exercise in the morning or in the evening can't undo 10 hours of stillness.

So, what the research actually shows is that strenuous exercise is enough and it independently removes the risk of sitting all day. There are two reasons that this could have hurt viewers. One is that you change your job so that you move a little bit or you change your behavior and you lose your career.

This is obviously not good for your health. The second one is that you might have stopped doing strenuous exercise which research shows is superior for many other things within overall health. This next one is even worse. It makes me really mad and basically the claim is that the body has a max total calories spent.

The body treats total daily energy expenditure as a constrained variable rather than an open-ended one. Cuz have you heard of Michael Phelps? He can eat 10,000 calories a day without gaining weight. Do you think for some reason that his maximum calories burned a day are like 12,000 while yours are only 2,000?

Do you think he's six times genetically different? So, research actually has disproved this and you know, I experientially, I also did not experience that. If I eat more and I can exercise even more and lose weight. The max that the body actually has is not the expenditure but the deficit. So, if you eat less, it's going to try to spend less, the metabolism is going to slow down, etc.

This next one is how I knew that no actual doctor was reviewing this AI-generated content. A study from the Mayo Clinic tracked thousands of professionals over several years. People with flattened cortisol curves, meaning their cortisol didn't vary much from morning to evening, were five times more likely to develop chronic disease and burnout compared to people with normal cortisol rhythms.

So, cortisol is really important to me. So, I actually watched this video. I tracked my cortisol and so, the claim is that there was a Mayo Clinic study that found that flattened cortisol curves made people five times more likely to develop chronic diseases and burnouts. This is a completely hallucinated study.

There's nothing even close to this. That's how you know that this is AI-generated, not reviewed. All right, for this next one, if you listen to a lot of content, you might have developed a wrong thinking habit. So, you probably actually will disagree with me. So, the claim is that metabolic diseases rose sharply after the 1970s low-fat guidelines because seed oils replaced animal fats implying a causal link.

The food industry replaced animal fats and tropical oils with seed oils following the low-fat dietary guidelines of the 1970s. Decades later, rates of metabolic disease rose sharply. There's a problem with this and that a lot of people have. If you took a statistics course, you should know that correlation, especially correlation across time, does not mean causation.

A lot of things happened in the 1970s. Vietnam War ended, Watergate scandal, 1973 oil crisis, Camp David Accords, Star Wars came out, the music scene has changed, disco peaked, punk rock came out, the Beatles broke up. Why did the channel not say that those were the ones that caused metabolic diseases?

Our minds are trained, unfortunately, to look for causation. So, if two things are coincident or correlated, our mind thinks, "Oh, A caused B or B caused A." That is a human thinking flaw. The only way to actually determine causation scientifically is using what is called a randomized control trial. So, this next one is how I knew that if it was a doctor, it wouldn't be an emergency doctor.

And the claim is that the liver tests are often the first thing that tell him, emergency doctors, The liver tests are often the first thing that tells me which direction someone's health is going in. Which direction someone's health is going in. That would imply that they are one of the first tests that are being done, which is far from the truth.

If it was actually effective, if it was one of the first things being done, it would be done all the time. We would find a way to make it cheaper as a society and we do it for every person. This is a dangerous claim because it might make you focus on your liver test results instead of all your other results that are really important like your blood pressure, etc.

All right, so this next one is going to be a tough pill to swallow for a lot of people. The claim is that unprocessed red meat eaten in modest amounts does not increase cardiovascular disease risk compared with people who avoid red meat entirely. There's data showing that people who eat moderate amounts of unprocessed red meat as part of a balanced diet don't have increased cardiovascular disease risk compared to people who avoid red meat entirely.

So, that's a wrong claim. Research has proven time and time again that eating more red meat, unprocessed or processed, does increase cardiovascular disease risk. Red meat has a lot of benefits and that's why I eat it but it does have this cardiovascular risk. So, if you're somebody that's trying to minimize their cardiovascular disease risk, you probably want to avoid red meat.

Obviously, you should talk to your doctor. Red meat is not recommended for people who have cardiovascular disease risk. So, this next one really annoyed me because I personally experienced it and it's basically denying my experience. So, I do a lot of blood tests and I look at my cholesterol often, my LDL cholesterol.

Um the claim is that egg consumption does not affect blood cholesterol levels for anyone because dietary cholesterol has little impact. The cholesterol that you eat in food has very little impact on the cholesterol levels in your blood. This is not true. There are people who are known as hyper-responders.

I believe I am one of them. And when hyper-responders eat cholesterol in their diet, their cholesterol does increase. That's what the research shows. So, this next one also bothered me because it's about caloric deficit again. Uh and if you listen to this advice, it might make you fatalistic on dieting.

It may might make you give up on dieting. So, the claim is that insulin blocks hormone-sensitive lipase making weight loss Insulin actively blocks an enzyme called hormone-sensitive lipase. So, even when you create a calorie deficit through diet or through exercise, your body struggles to access its fat stores for energy.

Impossible despite a caloric deficit. Research has shown that time and time again that this is wrong. Caloric deficit is king. You will lose weight. It's not impossible. You will, in fact, lose weight if you have a caloric deficit. The question that a lot of people struggle with is whether they have one or not.

You need to measure your outtake really well. You need to measure your intake really well. All right, almost done. This is the last one. If you listen to this one, you might have unnecessarily caused gastrointestinal damage to yourself. So, the claim is that antacids and over-the-counter gas relief medications routinely worsen dysbiosis and can make gut imbalance worse.

Antacids like Rennies or Gaviscon, laxatives like Senna or Dulcolax, or anti-gas medications, or even things like Mebeverine or Buscopan. In some cases, they can actually make it worse by further disrupting the gut environment. So, I don't think any actual doctor would would recommend this um medicinally, especially when you could be using antacids or over-the-counter gas relief medications to help with your gut.

The gut has 10 to 100 trillion microorganisms. So, it's really hard to change your gut. There's definitely no research proving that antacids or over-the-counter gas relief medications routinely worsen your gut imbalances. Again, before you consider anything, you should actually talk to a doctor in person that you trust.

So, those are the top 10. I'd do more but I don't really have time because I am actually a real person that has a job. But I did hire an editor so I can make more videos for you. So, better health videos coming soon by me, a health engineer. Leave a comment if you have any requests.
