Alcohol, the magic potion: science behind the most harmful drug of all (Full Documentary)

What if the food advice we follow every day is wrong? In Episode 3: Myth or Science?, Dr Jennifer Gardy investigates the everyday health claims that shape how we eat, drink, and think about our bodies. Do we really need eight glasses of water a day? Does sugar make children hyper? Is the five-second rule safe? Can caffeine improve memory? And can the size or colour of a plate change how much we eat? Through real experiments, expert analysis, and surprising results, this episode uncovers the science behind common food myths - from hydration and dieting to brain performance and eating habits. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Intro: Food Myths Tested ▷ 01:02 - Do We Need 8 Glasses of Water? ▷ 04:19 - Hydration Results ▷ 06:43 - Hidden Water in Food ▷ 09:16 - Does Sugar Make Kids Hyper? ▷ 12:01 - The Sugar Party Experiment ▷ 14:47 - Beer Goggles Tested ▷ 19:26 - The Five-Second Rule ▷ 23:20 - The Blood Type Diet ▷ 28:08 - Plate Size and Weight Loss ▷ 33:52 - Can Caffeine

In the final episode of Myth or Science, microbiologist Jennifer Gardy investigates one of humanity’s most overlooked and misunderstood substances: poop. Though commonly dismissed as disgusting waste, feces may contain remarkable clues about our health, our environment, and even the future of sustainable technology. Through a series of surprising experiments, Jennifer tests whether flushing a toilet spreads fecal bacteria around the bathroom, whether colon cleanses improve health, and whether visible corn in stool is evidence of poor digestion. She also explores what the shape, smell, frequency, and buoyancy of stool can reveal about the human body. Beyond personal health, the episode uncovers the wider scientific potential of waste. Researchers analyse sewage to track the health of entire communities, specially trained dogs locate orca feces to help protect endangered whales, and engineers transform sewage sludge into clean drinking water and energy. Jennifer even investigates whether dogs align themselves with the Earth’s magnetic field while defecating and how fish waste helps create tropical beaches. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 -The Hidden Power of Poop ▷ 01:38 - The Toilet Plume Experiment ▷ 05:44

How much oil is left - and what happens when the world’s most important energy source becomes harder, riskier and more expensive to extract? This compelling energy documentary investigates the global dependence on crude oil, the theory of peak oil and the environmental dangers of deep-sea drilling. Beginning with the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, it examines how technological failures, financial pressure and difficult drilling conditions contributed to one of the worst oil spills in history. Travel from oil fields in Austria and Saudi Arabia to research centres in Europe, Canadian oil sands and offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Scientists, geologists, engineers and industry experts reveal how oil is formed, how new reserves are discovered and why many of the world’s largest oil fields may be declining. The documentary also explores enhanced oil recovery, horizontal drilling, water injection, polymer technology, Arctic exploration and the enormous financial and environmental costs of extracting unconventional oil. It investigates the use of chemical dispersants during the Deepwater Horizon cleanup and questions their impact on marine ecosystems and human

Climate change, pollution, depleting natural resources… the consequences of global energy production are numerous and of great concern. The situation is critical; it’s time we started producing in a way that meets the growing needs of populations and building the future, all the while preserving the planet. Going forward, what innovations will enable us to be independent tomorrow? What will the energy of the future look like?

Michael 'Wolf' Pasakarnis often claimed that he walked in two worlds at once. An artist with a kind heart and adventurous spirit, he was struck and killed by lightning at 29 years old. He left stunning evidence that he knew where, when, and how it would happen. He came back with an important message for all of us. Now Wolf’s story is a brave and captivating documentary, Wolf’s Message, inspired by the book of the same name by acclaimed author and spiritual teacher, Suzanne Giesemann, which explores the profound true story of a young man's afterlife communication. Directed by filmmaker Jim Spruell, Wolf's Message follows the true story of Wolf's parents, Mike and Beth Pasakarnis. After his passing, they discovered a poem and drawings he left behind, along with other clues about how he would depart from this world. Through Giesemann, they began receiving undeniable and astonishing messages from beyond, offering irrefutable proof of his continued presence. Through intimate interviews, expert insights, and compelling real-life accounts, Wolf’s Message delves into the nature of consciousness, the continuity of love, and the

What if everything we see, hear, taste, smell, and feel is less reliable than we think? In this documentary, Jennifer Gardy meets scientists using playful, bizarre, and revealing experiments to uncover how the brain builds our perception of reality. As illusions, taste tests, smell trials, touch experiments, and sound tricks expose the hidden links between the senses, the film shows that our experience of the world is not created by one sense at a time, but by a powerful multisensory system that can protect us, mislead us, and even make us feel things that are not really there. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - How Our Senses Create Reality ▷ 01:47 - Seeing Is Believing? ▷ 05:35 - The Truth About Colour ▷ 07:07 - Tasting With Our Eyes ▷ 10:27 - Can Sound Change Taste? ▷ 14:10 - Can We Smell Danger? ▷ 20:02 - Nose Blindness and Bad Smells ▷ 21:24 - Do Names Change What We Smell? ▷ 26:39 - The Rubber Hand Illusion ▷ 32:45 - Can Seeing Make Us Itch? ▷ 37:19 - Can We Trust
