Most people never think about thiamine when they think about carbs. This clip breaks down why a higher carbohydrate intake may increase the body’s demand for thiamine, and why that matters more than most people realize. If the diet is raising the need faster than the body can keep up, deficiency may show up long before anyone recognizes what is actually going on.

This clip gets to the core of a broken incentive system. If a substance cannot be patented, there is far less money behind studying it, promoting it, or pushing it through the medical system. That helps explain why so many promising findings around vitamins and natural compounds seem to go nowhere, while the drug model keeps dominating the conversation.

Thiamine is essential, but most of the medical system still treats it like it only matters in extreme cases. This clip breaks down why that mindset may be causing a lot of people to get missed, and why one of the most important nutrients in the body still gets far less attention than it should.
