What are some food science advancements that you're grateful for?For me, it's Diet Coke. All of the benefits of Classic Coke with zero downsides. Miracle tier product.
>>22103900>Diet CokeLiterally medicine for what ails you.
>>22103900>for me, it's making coke taste like shit
zero calorie sugar is thousands times sweeter than real sugar. its so addicting.
>>22103900Not a big soda drinker. Can someone explain the detailed differences between:>regular Coca-Cola >diet Coke >Coke ZeroNo I won't google it, I want to hear what /ck/ has to say.
>>22103926Regular is just that.Diet has nutrasweet (ground plastic) instead of sugar. It has white packaging.Zero is diet but with black packaging to try to look less cucked since white packaging is perceived as effeminate.Hope this helps.
>>22103900cant drink aspartame, shit tastes bitter
>>22103938Is this because of genetic defects like the cilantro-soap thing or do you just have bad taste?
>>22103946If you have it backwards. If you actually like diet, YOU'RE the one with the genetic defects.
>zero downsidesgives cancer
>>22103900Sweetner. I was over 40 when I started using it. It's literally sugar with one molecule changed so you don't absorb it. It's the best shit ever. Now I can have as much sweetness as I want with no problems.
>>22104007It still causes an insulin spike in blood becuse there are other mechanisms involved. It's best to drink a can when you are eating something.
>>22104090I'm having red wine and I just added it to that for the first time. Revolutionary.I'm gonna put it in fucking EVERYTHING.
>>22104106Yeah if you have some very shitty white wine, some sprite or 7up can help a lot too.
The gum.
>>22103900Heinz ketchup was engineered by food scientists to be perfect and it is. There isn't a better ketchup.
>>22103931So does zero also have nutrasweetener like the diet?
>>22103900these fucks need to bring back the coke with coffee, particularly the dark blend
>>22104175It's diet with different packaging.
>>22104181Does Coke go well with cream? I'm drinking a delicious iced coffee right now, loaded with full fat milk and whipping cream, and your post has me wondering how it would be if I replaced the coffee with Coke. Rootbeer is good with dairy right? I can't imagine a situation where coke wouldn't taste good.
>>22103926Personal preference of taste. The only reason they still make diet coke after they came out with coke zero is because some people still prefer the taste of diet. I personally think diet caffeine free coke is the best tasting coke product on the market.
Canola. It's a miracle oil.
Aspartame is fucking awesome. A friend of mine told me aspartame causes liver, colon, testicle, and brain cancers, stomach ulcers, and low bone density. This was back in 2016. In 2017 I started drinking 3 diet sodas a day, and I still do it to this day. I get generic diet sodas cheap as fuck too, so it's not even hurting my wallet.I got an MRI and CT scan last year, and this year I got a colonoscopy. A couple days ago I got results from a blood lab I did and that looked great too.I'm trans now when I wasn't in 2016 but my estrogen and testosterone levels didn't change at all until I started on estradiol and spiro so that's not the aspartame's fault.
>>22104875I thought I said in this post but I didn't, the MRI, CT, and colonoscopy were all clean. I'm healthy as a fuckin horse.
>>22103900I don't care for diet coke. Tastes like Pepsi, which is an inferior cola. Coke zero is better, but it still has that artificial tang to it, and still isn't quite right. Real deal or nothing, thanks.
>>22104877Turns out, when you feed the equivalent of pounds of chemicals to lab rats, their biology does backflips. Whodathunk?
>>22104878>Real deal or nothing, thanks.I don't like the corn syrup mouth feel of regular coke, and have never tried Mexican coke.
>>22103926>>22103931regular soda is sweetened with corn syrup.diet soda is sweetened with aspartame.[brand] zero is sweetened with both aspartame and acesulfame potassium, and usually some other stuff."nutrasweet" is just aspartame, and aspartame is not ground plastic. aspartame is a methyl ester of aspartic acid and phenylalanine, which are both amino acids. chemically if you were going to call aspartame "ground plastic," then apicidin would also necessarily be "ground plastic" and so every time you eat a fucking mushroom you may as well be eating a GI joe.
>>22104886You need to try Kosher Coke made with real cane sugar. That stuff is AMAZING.
>>22104884what a lot of people don't even know is a lot of the experiments done on rats to show that aspartame is "carcinogenic" were just injecting the fucking chemical directly into their bloodstreams instead of letting the animals metabolize it. so not only are they injecting these fucking rats with way more than a reasonable dose would be but they're also filling their bloodstreams with fucking free radicals, like of course they're gonna die of oxidative stress you dipshits
>>22104898And rats normally get tumors and die before 3 years anyways.
>>22104916rats are like the hamsters of rodents, it's like they're born to die
>>22104888Is that second sweetener you mention for zero what is commonly known as 'sucralose'? I like that stuff but not in soda, just in sparkling waters like sparkling ice and mio. It does make you fart though.
>>22104934ace-K is not the same as sucralose! it's sometimes marketed under brand names like "sunett" but sucralose isn't one of them
>>22104888checked and action figure pilled
>>22103926regular coke uses corn syrup or actual cane sugar if you're not poordiet coke was created for women and has a totally distinct flavor dissimilar to regular coke.coke zero is cheaper to produce than diet coke and engineered to taste as close to regular coke as possible.
>>22105279Don't the newer cutting edge sugar free beverages use xylitol?
>>22103900It's always good to have some cans around, to clean car batteries and toilets.
>>22103957so does sugar
>>22104090the insulin spike is much lower than actual sugar
if food science is so advanced, why do they keep carbonating beverages which actually taste better when they’re flat or have only a tiny bit of fizz?
yes, diet sodas of all kinds, and especially the more recent caffeine-free ones, because why the fuck was caffeine there in the first placeprepackaged boiled eggs that store for a long timeflash frozen premade dishesair fryer with a rotisserie
>>22103926>regular cokeSolid soda, but corn syrup flavoring is notable>regular coke, soda fountainMuch worse, premade syrup injected into carbonated water, usually way off balance>regular coke, glass bottleReal Coke and the only one that should actually be consumed if you’re a light soda drinker. AKA “Mexican coke” to Americans (eve&doe Mexico switched to corn syrup decades ago as they they still export cane sugar version to maintain supply for that demand)>Diet CokeCopium Coke. Tastes like ass but tolerable if you need fizzy cool sweetened caffeinated drinks regardless of actual flavor to get through the day while staying human shaped.>Coke ZeroModern improvement on Diet, very close to corn syrup standard coke in flavor, really just lacks the “aftertaste glow” of the calorie-sweetened version. Note that this is fairly universal, across brands, where Diets were facades forcing you to pretend Zeros actually taste like the real thing minus the aftertaste.
>>22103900>What are some food science advancements that you're grateful for?i'm glad my bread doesn't mold after a week so i don't have to eat it so fast
>>22104889In Europe we call that just cola
