1. Big candle supports this.

2. Dr Gregor, you've spoken out so much about the heavy metal contents of the food we consume. Surely, inhaling the burnt heavy metals in the plant matter of the incense wouldn't be any better for the human body. Surprised to not have seen anything mentioned about that in any of those studies

3. I'd love to see if essential oil diffusers are an issue, I've always held back on using them.

4. One of the Worst smells ever….folks just trying to cover up their BO because they’re afraid of a little soap, but will probably put tons of arsenic in their skin from dumb tattoos.

5. How about those scented oil diffusers used for "aromatherapy"? At least they don't burn the oil, but I still wonder if there are any bad health effects. Can a mere aroma cause harm? Assuming it's not something inherently toxic like ammonia or mustard gas of course.

6. Can we just have one nice thing, doc? 😢

7. No surprise, all smokes are more or less toxic.

8. As with eating animal products, widespread use with a long tradition is no indication of being health promoting.
   In fact, just the opposite!
   Tobacco smoking is another example.

9. So pleased this has been addressed. I've been trying to persuade my Mum to stop burning incense. They trigger her smoke alarm so I assumed they weren't exactly healthy in the home.

10. Obviously anecdotal, but I have found that candles often irritate my lungs if the windows aren't open.

11. I give you so much credit. Kudos.

12. Boy, I really did NOT want this one to reveal what it does… bummer. But thanks for the info as always.

13. What about infusers? Those little drops of oil that you infuse into the air?

14. I had to quit a small meditation group as the custom to burn incense and though the ceiling was high, the stream of smoke always went right in my face.

15. Is this the same for candles? What about having plants indoors to help purify the air?

16. I wonder if room fresheners are also bad 🤔

17. Figured as much. I burn incense a few times in the summer on my covered patio, preferably with a breeze.

18. WoW..I didn't know this🤯…. I use incense for decore, but I will burn sometimes in the bathroom, I love the smells and there's zero windows, so no circulation of air and I would just breathe in the beautiful aromas with abandon🤯.

19. Thanks for the warning. I love incense but it's the last time I'll be burning it. 🌱

20. Can you do a video on sun gazing?

21. I've always hated incense smoke, its such an overpowering smell,but as I've got older, I can't even tolerate scented candles burning in a room, never mind air fresheners.

22. The scented candles and air fresheners are not good either.

23. Ok, there are too many citations on this piece. When a student puts down a litany of citations where it's unclear what their purpose/utility of most of them even is, it's a red flag for a "smoke screen." The best Nutrition Facts pieces feature a half dozen or so studies, that are a cut above their peer group in one way or another, and each that tackle a topic or question from different directions, aiming at some tentative conclusion. This piece just seems to have linked to nearly every study ever done on incense and concluded the obvious: there's a risk there. I just think this headline needed only 1 or 2 citations (the highest quality of the group), and the piece that needs 23 citations (literally) would be a lot more interesting. But we got neither here, we got the worst of both worlds smashed into one video. Even with a staff, I don't believe NF read all the studies cited for this piece. That's unprofessional. And how could a sub 6-minute piece need 23 citations? Check in with your quality controls folks! I've never said that to Nutrition Facts before!!!

24. Holy smokes! Who knew?!

25. Make a video on Tattoos! I hate incense 🚫

26. Very interesting. I wonder if burning wood in a fireplace in the home is harmful.

27. Nicely done! Published Links between scent and mood don’t seem to have the dramatic effect sizes to warrant some of the associated expense, but I have to admit that a scented candle has a certain ritualistic feel that has helped me sidestep panic more than once.

28. Is this the same for burning something like Palo Santo?

29. Scented candles, if they are of the paraffin type are problematic since they emit hydrocarbons. Perhaps soy and beeswax may be safer; I'm unsure about that. I have the so-called smokeless incense or temple variety from Japan. They still emit smoke which does cause nasal congestion. The cheaper forms of incense with the interior strands, as first shown in the video, are by far and away the worst offenders. Many thanks to Dr. G once again! You're the best buddy.

30. Oh my God! I had no idea! This is horrible 😢 Thanks for sharing this

31. That's quite interesting that it's twice as bad as cigarette smoking!

32. I use incense twice a month, I wonder if that's okay… Hmm

33. What about burning candles? Do they harm people too?

34. Cool. One more thing I never have to worry about buying again. 😊 But, scented candles it is. (Maybe I’ll save my leftover incense for burning outside to help dissuade a few mosquitoes.)

35. How about essential oils in a diffuser?

36. This is the worst news video of yours I've ever seen. I very much like incense, especially some of the subtle Japanese incenses. I enjoy scent of incense when meditating; sandalwood particularly is calming and helps me settle more quickly.  On the package of some heavy Tibetan incense I have it states: "Perfectly safe for inhalation & the environment." Do I trust a very interested incense maker or a disinterested doctor?

    Our Zen temple (in the US) only uses unlit incense, because several members are quite allergic to the smoke and even the "smokeless" incense is too much. A few years ago there were reports in the Chinese media about the adverse health effects on the monks and workers at the Chinese temples, although I don't think that has changed much of anything. The Yong He Gong temple in Beijing is a long block from the closest subway entrance and one can find the correct subway exit by using their nose — the scent comes down into the subway. Again, I find this a pleasant scent and I quite enjoy my walk to the temple.

    After watching your video, however, I think I will need to cut back my use of incense to a half dozen or less special festivals throughout the year, the most important of which is Tomb-Sweeping Day to honor the passing of my parents and grandparents.

37. Based on the comments for this vid, it would appear its NOT a good idea to use Incense…….I always wondered about this and was never a big fan……..if you aren't breathing normal oxygen created by PLANT life, then its NOT healthy for you…..of course, my religious side always tells me this is WHAT and the WAY God intended for us to live…..not to be inhaling foreign substances….unless its a medical issue like putting us to sleep to undergo surgery of some kind……PEACE!

38. Gives me instant headache so I stopped using it.

39. Cool, something else to fear thanks to Dr. Greger 😒

40. I'm incensed! 🪔

41. I'd also like to see a study on just burning plant matter. Although people don't do that as often so idk if there'd even be enough data for that. I'm talking about plants people would use for smoke cleansing a room or area like white sage, cedar, juniper, or rosemary.

42. Essential oil diffusing ?

43. Yuk

44. oh man don't ruin incense for me!!! I've already cut everything else out 😫

45. Yikes 😱
    Eye won’t be burning them no more.
    😱

46. We need to remember what risk factors we are actually talking about here; occasional inhalation of smoke from whatever source probably isn't going to increase your risk of disease significantly. Inhaling smoke everyday probably will. Same thing with eating processed meat. The studies here present evidence on daily exposure or exposure for a long period of time. You cannot extrapolate this to any other scenario; daily inhalation of smoke/long term is probably bad but is unclear for other cases. It's the dose, not necessarily the poison…

47. I am convinced that the sole purpose of this YouTube channel is to suck the enjoyment out of everything in life.

48. Incense and peppermints, the color of time..

49. Candles cause an estimated 15,600 fires in residential structures, 150 deaths, 1,270 injuries, and $539 million in estimated direct property damage each year. -I'm pretty sure death is a serious health risk… 🔥🏚🔥

50. Does this apply to burning herbs like sage or just those chemical sticks?

51. Burn incense before you head to work. Come home to a fresh smelling home but most of it will have settled

52. Candles are bad honey, churches can be very bad at Christmas

53. Haha take that hippies!

54. Living in Asia for the last 18 years, I wish I had known all this earlier. Many thanks for such a useful video Dr Greger.

55. Whynot use essential oil diffusers?

56. How long until Dr Gregor tells us to stop having sex because of STDs?

57. Not very often I go for a massage the odd exposure would be fine you'd think. All the vapers and chain smoking would be a lot worse.
    It would be interesting to know if those water oil diffusers are fine (few drops of essential oil in water)?

58. FYI – EVALI was caused by bootleg THC cartridges laced with vitamin E acetate NOT nicotine vaping products (CDC).Vaping is the single best smoking cessation technology available, Invented by smokers for smokers & widely promoted in the U.K.
    You've lost your street cred Bro.

59. QUESTION: Have there been any studies done on essential oil diffusers? Any negative health impact on using those?

60. My wife has been using incense everywhere in the house, finally I have my defense 🤣

61. Any dangers of daily and weekly exposure to rock climbing gym and gymnastics gym chalk (made from magnesium carbonate)?

62. Thanks

63. I’m Eastern Orthodox. We use incense every Divine Liturgy. My boys are altar boys and I’m an ordained Reader. I’m around it all the time. 🤷‍♂️☦️ It is what it is.

64. I have a chemical sensitivity and most scented candles set me off. If there isn’t a known health risk it’s probably only because it hasn’t been studied enough.

65. Please do one on candles!

66. What about a diffuser with essential oils instead of a scented candle?

67. WHO source? Hmmmm.

68. I had a feeling. Good to have confirmation. Any smoke tends to have an adverse effect on health.
    The smoke from candles? Kept triggering my asthma too.

69. Thank you! Exactly what I've been wanting to know. I'll throw them away!!

70. Burning anything creates similar compounds. Burning food (BBQ) does the same. If you enjoy incense, just do it with a window open or a fan. No worries. Enjoy life.

71. Crazy a good old fashion bong rip is safer then just incents burning. Science!

72. I did assume this, but what about fire pits and fire places, bbq’s, anything with smoke really. What about the smoke when cooking in the house? I stopped burning incense a few years ago because I figured it can’t be great for our lungs. But I do love it still and wish we didn’t have to worry about every god damn thing that is around us. But having cancer does really suck and it’s expensive. 🥵

73. I wonder about air freshener like the oil and wax melts

74. I make sure there’s a window open when lighting incense or just let it burn about an inch of incense then stop it

75. Someone should show this videonto Kyrie Irving. 😀

76. Some candles have lead in them, so be careful with those too.

77. A maior manifestação de adoração está no interior do ser humano. Aí devem permanecer a luz e aroma sublimes. O silêncio apresenta-se por si.

78. There is an asthma association to scented candles. Also, even the paraffin wax in unscented candles can trigger asthma symptoms.

79. Well damn

80. What about good quality Japanese insence sticks, they are supposed to be natural and pure, are they harmful as well?

81. I should try and read through the cited articles to ensure correlations of location and other factors are not distorting this perspective.
    I see you're yet to provide the sources, so I'll wait for them to show up rather than fish them out of the video.

82. But if you just let it burn in a room and aren't exposed to the smoke, you still get the sent, and not breath in the smoke

83. Personally, I use incense in the bathroom briefly instead of canned commercial room-deodorant, that releases all kinds of synthetic chemicals into the air. If used in this manner, I believe that it is a safer and cheaper alternative. However, I would like to know if there is any credible study, that proves or disproves this.

84. When I was younger I would directly inhale incense smoke.

85. What about candles?!

86. I used the Incense nothing happens no side effects that's a lie I'm healthy I love the smell,the one has side effects is the medicine that your doctor described you when you're sick

87. Maybe all of our ancestors who relied on fires for warmth and cooking really died from inhaling the smoke???

88. Def gives me a migraine

89. I think the answer is "no smoke is good smoke" but I am curious to know to what degree this finding applies to burning whole plant foods i.e. Sage bundles and other smudging herbs

90. Kerzen sollen besser sein? Das glaube ich nicht. Bzw kommt es auf die Art des Wachses an. Ich vertrage Räucherstäbchen aus natürlichen Zutaten sehr gut – Kerzen aus Parafin machen mir Atemnot!

91. Knowledge can be awfully inconvenient sometimes…

92. Apparently, the TYPE of incense, that a person burns, depends on the amount of damage done while burning it…Wait, I think I meant that backwards. Anyway, I'm convinced that I avoided getting the flu, several years ago, by (purposely) breathing in the smoke of some incense from Tibetan Medical College, called "Holy Land" Incense (It smells a little like cat pee…until you light it. Then a wonderful, earthy scent comes out. `So glad they still make it).

    I also burn agarwood when I can afford it. I usually have to get the cheaper stuff, but it still smells incredible! Unfortunately, it has become extremely rare.

    Love & Blessings To All.

93. Ah I just bought a tonne of incense sticks from India. Guess I'll just leave it in the living room for the fragrance and never burn them.

94. Breathing in air causes oxidative damage.

95. 95% of people use the incense in a wrony way…. You need to close all windows and doors, get out of the room, burn the incense – preferably Arabic ones that need Charcoal or in a form of a cone (not the one on stick) then keep the smoke for 10-15minutes in so that the scents can penetrate into the materials in the room. After that open all windows and get rid of the smoke. This way, the smell last for 2-3days and there are no unhealthy particles in the air.

96. Thanks for the confirmation doc, i stopped using them years ago because i suspected they were damaging due to the effects they had on me.

97. what about burning candles?

98. I love Incense! I'm going to keep hitting the sticks.

99. Damn

100. The worst side effect is the smell

I commenti sono chiusi.
