@C0nc0rdance EXCELLENT video.
i like the video ...
i like the video description :)
Love your videos ...
Love your videos but as a pet-peeve, I hate it when people use the term"toxin" without adequately defining the term. mutagens and carcinogens have decent definitions, but toxin is so vague that I sometimes feel lost when you are mentioning them.
An excellent ...
An excellent resource, thanks for putting this together

Having just noticed AceK in the Diet Pepsi I was drinking while watching this, I demand more research into it! Cuz I really like Diet Pepsi.

A few years ago my father (R.I.P.) and I each ate a small bag of sugar-free jelly beans. Well, a little bit afterwards both of us had to run up to the toilet. It turns out they contained sorbitol. I'll stick with the jelly beans with sugar from now on.

c0nc0rdance i heard that ants won't touch an artificial sweetener like aspartame if you leave it out in a bowl. is this the case?
Well, my field of ...
Well, my field of interest is neurobiology so hopefully I will meet someone who can answer my many questions relating to the subject. Or maybe, one day, I'll come across the answers myself (via research or experimentation) =D
Possibly. I'd be ...
Possibly. I'd be more likely to believe that brain wiring is involved, but only because I think the receptors for all of these are the same (T1R3-R2). Super-tasting is usually associated with a heritable genetic variant in the receptor that changes binding strength, so I'm guessing that a variant would affect your taste of all sweeteners more or less equally. It would be a great question for a neurobiologist, which is a highly specialized field.
Hey, I have a ...
Hey, I have a question for you, C0nc0rdance. Do you think there could be a correlation between super-tasters and the disliking of artificial sweeteners? Not sure if super-tasting is only related to the consumption of certain vegetables, or whether it has the ability to affect the taste of other edibles.

@C0nc0rdance did you see this documentary? I think anyone who decides to use Aspartame should watch this first /watch?v=ZI7_8FDzuJE&feature=watch-now-button&wide=1
thanks for the ...
thanks for the vid's but do you think it is time to leave youtube for a dif site?i'm down
My advice to you ...
My advice to you ppl would be to try Stevia. It's sweeter than sugar and none of the bad side effects like diabetes and cavities.
Examples like ...
Examples like saccharin only support the political case for banning animal testing on vertebrates or "higher": humans don't deserve the benefits of knowledge gained by torturing animals in labs. All my disagreements with scientists are moral/ethical, not with the science.
I've had no issues ...
I've had no issues with Xylitol, and I've been eating it for years.

We don't consume snake venom and poison frogs everyday, do we?

Any idea of a diet cola that's AceK-free then? It seems that Diet Coke and Coke Zero have it.

As a rat lover and caregiver I love your little PSA in this video about the dangers of giving rats sacron.

I'm extremely interested in the new findings that saccharine does not cause cancer in humans like it does in rats. Sassafras, once the principle ingredient in root beer among many other uses, was banned in the 70's by the FDA for being slightly carcinogenic in lab rats. The industry has had to use artificial flavor in place of safrole ever since. I believe it's time to revisit this issue of safrole. If we're banning this useful natural oil for no reason, it would be a real shame and a loss.

can you make a video how these things work? do they basically interact with receptors of the taste bud's epithelia but are simply non-digestable lie cellulose?
