RHNB - Splenda (and other artificial sweeteners) - General

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqt3OYMjVRE[/media] I feel like I should be horrified by this.

D-did it turn into tar?

Burning sugar does the same thing FYI, before anyone goes like "ew" Except for that Truvia shit. I wasn't expecting that.

1:40 is how coke is made

Im really interested in that yellow shit

[QUOTE=ClarkWasHere;46194236]Burning sugar does the same thing FYI, before anyone goes like "ew"[/QUOTE] Yeah, I remember everyone going apeshit after someone made the video where they boil Coke (or burn the sugar in it).

[QUOTE=Mkadeshkode;46194199]D-did it turn into tar?[/QUOTE] Pretty much any food, mostly beverages, turns into something like tar if you do that.

Man what the hell was up with that shit in the end that didn't even burn? Looked like it turned into pure corn syrup.

why did spaghetti come out of the last one?

I wonder if it's still edible.

I now have a reason to avoid truvia if I ever use artificial sweeteners.

[QUOTE=Mkadeshkode;46194199]D-did it turn into tar?[/QUOTE] I'm guessing carbon

truvia turned into a FUCKING SPIDER SLINGING WEBS LEFT AND RIGHT JESUS CHRIST

this is a really common science class experiment, where you just burn sugar and get carbon.

[QUOTE=Cpn Crunch21;46196201]I don't know what you're talking about. Look at that flame you practically burn those calories right off![/QUOTE] I'm more worried about it turning into some weird, murky liquid, instead of just caramelizing.

[QUOTE=TAU!;46197417]I'm more worried about it turning into some weird, murky liquid, instead of just caramelizing.[/QUOTE] Why would that matter? How would you infer anything about its toxicology profile from how it behaves when heated to whatever temperature the RHNB is?

[QUOTE=TAU!;46197417]I'm more worried about it turning into some weird, murky liquid, instead of just caramelizing.[/QUOTE] Its because its actually not sugar from sugarcane or trying to intimidate it. its sugar from fruits called Erythritol which is sugar alcohol. But since thats literally .002% of the actual fruit, they basically take starches and process it into Erythritol. Its also mixed with Stevia sweetener which is also naturally occurring sweetener. If anything its much healthier than the others due to it being a natural sugar than a extremely processed intimidated version while being tooth healthy since oral bacteria cant metabolize it at all. So honestly, Truvia is the healthiest of the bunch.
