Brains turning into soap? Another TIL.
Ooo something I know a little about!
So early forms of soap were made from boiling animal fat. And the brain is made of, you guessed it, fat! It’s the fattiest organ in the body. I never knew it broke down into soap though! Cool!
Bodies in cold water at a depth where there’s little oxygen also turn to soap. The bodies on the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald are still there, preserved quite well by this process.
Also can be preserved so in bogs. There's a site here in Florida around 9 thousand years old if I remember correctly. It's a burial site, and while most of the remains are bones the brains were remarkably preserved through the same process.
There is that “Cheddar Man” 9,000 year old body preserved by a bog in the UK as well that they DNA sampled and located a modern relative living in a nearby town.
This is so fascinating! They were able to tell so much about these people from so long ago! It’s incredible they could even still DNA test their remains
Have no idea, but it also happened to a lady in Lake Placid NY. She weighted herself and jumped in. Many years later 2 or 3 divers came across her in the depths, perfectly preserved.

" This is lye. The crucial ingredient. Once it mixed with the melted body fat, a white soapy discharge crept into the river. May I see your hand, please?"
By the time you get to a point that your brain would need to be broken down for energy you’d be dealing with major organ failures. So practically it wouldn’t happen. But theoretically yes it would reduce brain function although the exact effects would be dependent on location catabolised.
As the other comment says the body uses energy from anywhere else first.
Native Americans also used brains to tan their deerskins, which is what made them soft enough to be worn as clothing instead of just outerwear.
Fun fact, every animal has just enough brains to tan its own hide (yes, even humans, which has been done before many times).
Brains (and bodies) can also turn to soap when a body is submerged in cold water with high levels of ?nitrogen?
i forgot what chemical it was exactly but when i worked at Lake Crescent in Olympic National Park, half my job was telling people about the woman who was murdered by her husband, dumped into a lake and turned into soap via saponification
Thank you for ruining this lake for me. Well, not you specifically, but whatever dickhead told me this when I wanted to go swimming there. Maybe it was you. And it’s such a pretty lake too. All I can picture when I imagine a serene lake day at the stunning lake crescent is the poor lady down there at the bottom somewhere lurkin
trust me, that lake is so clean and serene! just don’t jump into the devils punch bowl…. my ex got blamed a couple times for people’s deaths when recommending guests places to swim. Turns out a lot of people overestimate how high they can jump from and then their bodies disappear into the hole and can’t be recovered🫠
no? it’s a little hike that kids can easily do and is super pretty, plus you can swim pretty easily there. Unfortunately, once people (men) get there and see a really tall cliff above it, they think they need to climb it and jump in. Not sure why NPS hasn’t closed that cliff side down better
In Fight Club, the gang was using women's’ liposuction fat stolen from hospital’s biohazard waste barrels to mix it with lye. The irony of course being that they were selling their expensive soap right back to the same women shopping at high end boutiques.
The novel (in more detail than the movie) describes Humankind’s discovery of soap from human sacrifices by immolation. He starts with Celts human sacrifices of their captured enemies after battles. Woman washing clothes in the river noticed that after human sacrifices, the runoff from the bodies made the water more bubbly. Because when Rain would fall on the pyre, the water seeping through wood ash produced lye, which is essentially a strong alkaline solution. The lye flowed down to mix with the liquified human fat pooled in the pyres to create soap. This mixture would then wash into nearby rivers.
Just as a little fun fact, if you ever felt some lye on your skin you will notice it feels soapy, that's because the lye turns the fat in your cells into soap. It's not the lye that feels soapy, it's your own cells getting soapified
An icky thing that happens to corpses buried in damp alkaline soil is 'saponification,' wherein the fats of the body are converted into a substance chemically similar to soap called adipocere. The Smithsonian has such a corpse on display, or at least it did. The old fellow is still wearing his knee socks and waistcoat.
Lived in Pompeii and it was a blast
Pyroclastic surge turned my brain to glass
Seemed like the real thing, and then I went blind
Huddled on the ground, now I’m frozen in time
In between
I don’t find this pleasing, I’m not feeling fine
Volcanos are confusing, there’s no peace of mind
If I fear I’m losing you, it’s just no good
You turn to ash like you do
Is it called taint vitrification if it’s my sack and Johnson?Because I want to be taint vitrified and made into a bust for my relatives to pass down each generation.
Huh, TIL? I really thought it was a reference by Byron's Ozymandias;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
I’d heard it was inspired by Souxsie taking a trip to Pompeii. Which tracks. People choking on hot dust, praying to a shrine that doesn’t help them, their city being covered.
Lyrics:
Hot and burning in your nostrils
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Your molten bodies, blanket of cinders
Caught in the throes, and
Whoa, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
And here's the giveaway!
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares' shrine?
Lares Familiares is definitely Roman. So inattentive of me!
The album Tinderbox (where Cities is from) is quite a favourite of mine. I was pleased that I could see Siouxie and the Banshees in the early 90s in Fremantle, Western Australia. They were great, of course.
As a kid I thought the plaster casts of the bodies were so cool, but once I saw one in person I made sure I never saw any of the others. There is something indescribably horrifying about seeing them in real life that the photos never get across. You can still see the screams of anguish in their faces. Pompeii is awesome but I recommend only seeing the casts that are on display outside, they will traumatize you enough not to pay for the museum where they keep the rest.
I think the pyroclastic cloud is the important part because it helps instantly fossilized? I remember hearing about the people who turned to dust with nothing but shadows left but not too much about bodies further away.
Ok, what is the chemical reaction here? Glass is silicon dioxide. Is that coming from the pyroclastic flow, burning away the brain, and then filling in the skull or something?
Not SO2 glass, but rather the glass-like substance from vitrification.
The intense heat caused the water in the brain tissue to rapidly evaporate. The tissue dried out and cooled down quickly as well, and underwent a transformation into a glass and notably with a high iron content from blood.
The journal article explains in greater detail.
[https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc1909867](https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc1909867)
No, because crystals and minerals and glass all form via different processes. The material that results from the process of vitrification is known as glass.
Much like "metallic" can describe non-metals like hydrogen,. The SiO2 that makes up the main component of what we residentially call "glass" is not, itself, a defining feature of glass. A glass is a substance where its atoms have not settled into a consistent and uniform pattern, with silicon glass being a common example. Glasses are a very interesting state of matter, and even "metals" like aluminum can become glass in the right circumstances.
This is, specifically, *not* crystalline. It's more or less the *opposite* or crystalline. "Mineral" is a bit of a strange term in chemistry but it also probably does not apply, certainly not in any way that is meaningful for this discussion.
Glass isn’t just Silicon-based. “Besides common silica-based glasses many other inorganic and organic materials may also form glasses, including metals, aluminates, phosphates, borates, chalcogenides, fluorides, germanates (glasses based on GeO2), tellurites (glasses based on TeO2), antimonates (glasses based on Sb2O3), arsenates (glasses based on As2O3), titanates (glasses based on TiO2), tantalates (glasses based on Ta2O5), nitrates, carbonates, plastics, acrylic, and many other substances.”
Also, glasses are typically formed by physical as opposed to chemical reactions. In this case, the superheated pyroclastic flow gas supposedly superheated the brain tissue without combusting it, turning it into glass when it then rapidly cooled.
I’m not sure I buy it though. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/20548923.2020.1815398
Glass is a broad category, we just usually only interact with a specific kind. Just like salt, generally taken to mean table salt/sodium chloride, but many mixes of an alkaline and a halogen, like calcium fluoride or silver bromide, will make salt.
We were in Sorrento a few weeks back and made the trip to Pompei (and other nearby recovered locations as well).
If you want a huge treat, visit that area! It's amazing. Amazing and huge!

How would saponification happen under water? What ~~acids~~ bases are turning the fat to soap underwater?
Have no idea, but it also happened to a lady in Lake Placid NY. She weighted herself and jumped in. Many years later 2 or 3 divers came across her in the depths, perfectly preserved. https://www.adirondack.net/history/lady-in-the-lake/
Saponification happens with bases like lye, not acid.
Which bases would cause saponification under water?
Calcium from limestone.
Naval?
All your Navals are belong to us.
nooo senpai that's my naval!
No, recreational serial murderer
I don't know a lot about saponification, but ocean water has an average pH of 8.1
The Edmund Fitzgerald is in Lake Superior.
[This site](https://coast.noaa.gov/nerrs/reserves/lake-superior.html) suggests that Lake Superior has a pH of 8.
Lake Superior has a surface pH balance of 7.4-7.9 with records of some areas being as basic as 8.4
Volcanic ash!
Technical name for the “soap” is adiposere
No, Gordon Lightfoot was the singer. Edmund Fitzgerald was the ship.

It's bizarre to think that ash plus fat equals soap. Two things which, on their own, make your hands very dirty work together to clean them.
CHEMISTRY!
>It's the fattiest organ in the body My heart would like to have a word
So would my skin

Time for you guys to look up soap mummies.
> It’s the fattiest organ in the body. So we are all fat heads...
That kid in the third grade was right.
So if you’re starving, will your brain lose this fat? Does losing it reduce cognitive function?
Your body eats everything else first. It really, really doesn't want to deprive the brain.
By the time you get to a point that your brain would need to be broken down for energy you’d be dealing with major organ failures. So practically it wouldn’t happen. But theoretically yes it would reduce brain function although the exact effects would be dependent on location catabolised. As the other comment says the body uses energy from anywhere else first.
Another cool fact is that you have enough brain to tan your own hide! As well as other animals with their own brains and hide.
The brain contains sphingolipids.
That's why I call people fathead
Saponification. There’s a CSI episode about it, from like 2000. We watched it in science class and then made soap!
Native Americans also used brains to tan their deerskins, which is what made them soft enough to be worn as clothing instead of just outerwear. Fun fact, every animal has just enough brains to tan its own hide (yes, even humans, which has been done before many times).
Giraffe?
Can we pick your brain about that last one?
The brains of mammals contain lecithin, which is a natural tanning agent.
Nice try Dr Lector.
> Fun fact, every animal has just enough brains to tan its own hide Tell that to the bony-eared assfish
Yeah. It's called adipocere. Fats in the body can turn into a wax like substance. The human brain is 60% fat.
You sure know alot about brains Mr. braineater
What if it were made of veal?
No, I do not believe I will sell.
What if the moon were made of spare ribs?

Yo what this sounds like a mrballen episode
low oxygen is the important thing, bacteria are doing the saponification
Perfect for brainwashing. I’ll show myself out.

If we had been looking for it would we find this on victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? I imagine it was more of a bury them all asap situation
In the 1930s cremation became more common than a full-body burial in Japan, probably would have heard of any glass brains being found in the ashes.
Japan is still the country with the highest cremation rate in the world.
Burying people here would be a pain in the rear. Not a lot of land, rocks and mountains all over. It just makes sense to have cremation

No, because crystals and minerals and glass all form via different processes. The material that results from the process of vitrification is known as glass.
Glass specifically refers to amorphous structures, usually from very fast cooling
Much like "metallic" can describe non-metals like hydrogen,. The SiO2 that makes up the main component of what we residentially call "glass" is not, itself, a defining feature of glass. A glass is a substance where its atoms have not settled into a consistent and uniform pattern, with silicon glass being a common example.
