Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: 🔬 While it's true that stem cells can be found in urine (called Urine-derived Stem Cells or USCs), the video dangerously misrepresents them. These are **multipotent** adult stem cells, not 'undifferentiated' embryonic-like cells. This means their ability to transform into other cells is limited—they can't just become 'anything the body needs' like a new organ. This is a scientific fact being twisted to promote a harmful practice.
