    Contructive criticism: Nowadays, it is essential to provide your sources in the description section. For example: you should definitely provide a link to the R.J. Reynolds internal memo you mentionned. It is fascinating information, but I need to know that it is real information. Please consider this guys! ❤️

    Whelp, I just got a lot less faith in the generally recognized as safe categorization

      gets you fat, doesn't mean it's unsafe! BTW everything that is not explicitly toxic is recognized as safe.. you have to prove something is not safe, not the other way around @.@

    Surprise surprise... It makes you wonder what they're up to now. Big tobacco probably owns social media companies too.

      They do hire the same psychologists and scientists that would have worked for them. Although there aren't many social media platforms which I suppose would include RUclips. Even though for this definition it's probably more useful to call them attention platforms where the primary way that they make money is through ads and therefore the most amount of time you are on the site means they make more money.

    Such a realization; really makes sense in the simplicity of the explanation. Cheers to the scientists that ran and analyzed the data, not to mention the reporting

    Seems to me that freshly dried fruits are irresistible beyond that of salty chips etc.. Dried peaches with no additives gives me a concentrated dose of a complex peachy flavor that is always better than "peach" candy.
    Do they even have non-salty, non-added-sugar snacks at convenience stores? Roasted unsalted pumpkin seeds are just as complex while having that smooth fattiness from its natural oils in addition to being high in iron. These kinds of food should be available to everyone at a location within a walkable distance. [15 min cities are not a conspiracy to hurt people BTW]

      Speaking as someone officially addicted to Cheese-its and Pringles, it's very very hard to find a snack without sugar thats also not apparently addictive. Cucumbers are all I've got.

    Soda is extremely addictive

    • @DarkZerol
      @DarkZerol 16 дней назад

      Because of the sugar and/or artificial sweeteners. Take the sugar or sweetener away and your soda will taste like crap. No joke, you can actually try it yourself by heavily diluting you soda with water and your soda won't taste as appetizing but rather taste like it's just filled with flavored chemicals.

    • @Eloraurora
      @Eloraurora 13 дней назад

      ​@@DarkZerol Part of that is the fact that carbonation imparts a small amount of bitterness, so they formulate soda with more sweeteners to balance that. It's why flat soda tastes weird and too sweet even undiluted.

    Isn’t nicotine known as an appetite suppressant so a decline of smoking would naturally also lead people to eat more

    • @LC-dx1xj
      @LC-dx1xj 12 дней назад

      Yes, and these addictive foods might encourage some people to keep smoking to avoid eating so much and / or pick-up nicotine products for that purpose. Nicotine is definitely not a great way to do this, especially if it’s inhaled (because smoke / vapor has other things in it too, and so does snus so that’s not a great idea either), as it is highly addictive and hard to quit. But unfortunately the drive to stay as thin as possible causes some people to resort to extremes. It’s really sad all around.
