POISON? You bet your sweet aspartame!

I suppose the person who made this video failed organic chemistry? The methyl group hydrolyzes to methanol which oxidizes to formaldehyde which oxidizes to carbon dioxide, all in under a second.

But don't let me threaten your confirmation bias, I am totally part of the evil government plan to make you all into retards... o wait...

You must have failed biochemistry & pharmacology: it oxidizes when exposed to atmospheric oxygen, not when ingested- ingestion of formaldehyde causes fixing (embalming) of cells by irreversibly cross-linking primary amino groups in proteins with nearby nitrogen atoms in protein/DNA through CH2 linkage. This has been proven to cause cancer in tests.

As for "confirmation bias" - read my sources & learn a thing or two. But you won't read through them because you are filled with bias yourself.

So, I am perhaps out of my depth here but it was my understanding that methanthol oxidizes via alcohol dehydrogenase.

I am also a biased fuck : D

Informative. Thanks!

nice vid

Don't forget, Formalin(formaldehyde) is EMBALMING FLUID.

Here is the warning off a jug of Formalin:

"POISON! DANGER! SUSPECT CANCER HAZARD. MAY CAUSE CANCER. Risk of cancer depends on level and duration of exposure. VAPOR HARMFUL. HARMFUL IF INHALED OR ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. CAUSES IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. STRONG SENSITIZER. MAY BE FATAL OR CAUSE BLINDNESS IF SWALLOWED. CANNOT BE MADE NONPOISONOUS."

Does this sound like something you want to ingest in any quantity?

hey Swag-GOOF, keep drinking it, it seems to be working for you, anyone who still writes "lol" is of a genius category, ever think that the addiction is talking? Suck in that poison everday, let it flow through your veins, and comfort and pacify you into a lethargic stupor, then keep writing absurd comments like the one above, we love you.

Yes but a deadly chemical like aspartame should not be in our food and drink FULL STOP!! You have a choice whether you smoke or drink but you don't have a choice about consuming aspartame unless you know the dangers of it then you will avoid it. Aspartame is now in non diet drinks too!!

Agree with you 100%. It's worrying.

Sure, but some people smoke 40 cigarettes a day and are lucky enough to live happily into their 90s.
The problem is, you probably do have some of the side effects, even if you don't know what they are- from headaches to weakness, diabetes to cancer (there are dozens). It's cumulative poisoning- so it gets worse over time.

PS Cancer and diabetes, etc, are at all time highs. So perhaps it is as bad as I say it is.
