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! ❤️

It's as real as the moon landing! 🤔
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 @.@
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.

Kudos to OP, 👏🏻 😁 exactly same 👍🏻
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 KZread. 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.
Great presentation! Keep at it! 🙏
Really great video. Keep it up

"only children like flavor so if you flavor something you are marketing it to children"
Good to know where we really are so we can decide where we need to go. Your content makes for great orientation in that regard.
This is so depressing....
I would want to know just how much activation hyper palatable gives compared to say to other substances and food.
Awesome video!! Keep these coming!
Soda is extremely addictive

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.

@@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.
This episode has a fantastic thumbnail😅 really draws you in and makes you crave oreo’s at the same time lol
Scary stuff. Also the packaging is wasteful
Love this channel
*'Research on rats has found that sugar is more addictive than opioid drugs such as cocaine'*
It seems mutually exclusive to me as Nicotine makes me eat less lol
Look up the Oxfam chart of the 10 companies that own all the food brands and avoid all those brands
I love how Americans like to open their 'mistakes box' to the world, I wish my country would be able to do the same.
Wait wtf?!
Isn’t nicotine known as an appetite suppressant so a decline of smoking would naturally also lead people to eat more

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.
I'll quit eating these right after this last bag... 🐷
✋✋ Philippines
This made me quite mad... I eat a lot of these.
"hyperpalatable" "Beyond what any 1 key ingredient can do naturally". aka they found a recipe for food that tastes good.... great journalism
you are very pretty ^.^
Very nice voice, really hard on the eyes
