> damages your gut what does that even mean? Any citations here? Edit: i see the linked pubmed in a child comment now. But it seems to be not in humans, so saying it "damages your gut" is not an appropriate conclusion.

There are other studies. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36464527/

You should read more than the article's title. Like how they were testing against "liquid-liquid interface cultures, organoids, and gut-on-a-chip" and not humans.

Reading the Conclusion is also helpful. Says nothing about damaging your gut.

If you have to go to a laundromat, carrying a couple pods with you is way more convenient.

Wait, weren't we talking about dishwashers?

admittedly, I commented before watching. Even worse, I watch all of this guy's videos.

The more common solution I've seen is asking the person sending the link for clarification.

"It won't be the same if I just tell you, you have to watch it" - my mom on the video of some fake MD selling his miraculous variant of vitamin C that cures everything from cancer to dementia.

See, that's pretty clear indication you can ignore it isn't it?

I don't think boiling water with dishwasher detergent in it is a great idea (because of potential fumes). I might have misunderstood what you mean by "make coffee" but maybe something to look into if you do this regularly.

By „make coffee“ I meant „use the coffee maker as usual, without ground beans but with detergent in the water“. The fume/steam is surely not healthy if inhaled directly and up close, but then again your dishwasher vents those same fumes into your kitchen untreated in much larger quantities than a 200ml coffee maker possibly can. I regularly use things to clean that I am more worried about, such as bleach, acetone, tu…

Dishwashers don't boil the water, and they anyway use different kinds of detergent specifically designed for the usecase.

Anyway like I said I doubt it's a huge deal. Washing liquid isn't _designed_ to be boiled but I certainly hope the engineers consider the possibility that it might get boiled, and avoid things that would be toxic in that case...
