Your blood should have more in common with ketchup than just color, says chemical engineer Sean Farrington. Demonstrating the flow of everyday products like shampoo, peanut butter and ketchup, he makes the case for expanding the use of blood viscosity as a medical diagnostic, much like blood pressure. Learn more about the little-known field of rheology and how it could save lives — if taken seriously. (Recorded at TEDxWilmington on April 26, 2025)

Yes, I don’t know, I’m also increasingly annoyed that there is always a catchy headline and then you have to listen to some stories at half a snail’s speed…

So if a guy we all know, hypothetically, eats only McDonald’s and Aspirin, to point where black marks appear on his hands, how long does this person have left to live?

Yes, blood flow. Salt + Saturated fat, *THE* #1 & #2 causes in that order, for death and disability due to our Western diet with respect to heart attacks and strokes. Then there’s neuopathy… it’s a long list.

Never heard of this before watching this presentation. Didn’t hear much in detail about it but did stress on the heart disease and such. Well done great body language and liked the visual aids.
