In spite of some drama in the build-up, there was NO explosion in the stomach. This is because the active ingredients found in the outer coating of the Mentos which would have caused fizzing as seen in bottles, have already been dissolved. They found that tiny craters on the surface of the Minted Mentos caused the sudden release of carbon dioxide, not primarily due to the reaction of gum arabic (the ingredient in Mentos) with carbonated water (in that case, cola). They tried the same combination with a smooth surface Mentos (usually not minted) and it did not cause any reaction. Here's a snippet of that footage from Discovery Channel's Mythbusters. If possible, watch the whole episode for a delightful fountain/geyser show/montage that they put up, and the rockets made from the coke bottles.

That's the reason why there's an upsurge case of cancer here in Brunei. This year alone 6 friends of mine died of cancer. And only one of them are overweight. But the thing is its very difficult to avoid caricinogens. For example, staring at computer right now could cause a chemical effect in your retina thanks to the the radiation of the screen. The retina produces free radicals which ultimately becomes caricinogens and if not careful with your diet will cause cancer of the retina. - FoxMulder Wed, 08 Jul 2009 03:58:31 +0100 http://www.brudirect.com/index.php/200907061943/HYS-Topic-Of-the-Day/beware-supermarket-shelf-poisons-can-kill.html#comment-2186 This long message facts is in fact a total hoax. Here I give my objections. This is a deterrent and a hoax that amounted mostly untrue and unaudited information. For several years Smarties used the natural color when producing candies. There is no evidence of the fact that aspartate, in the prescribed quantities allowed, dangerous to health. Statements about the explosive reaction diet Cola and Mentos candies are true, but does not represent a real danger because it is not a real explosion, or the reaction in the stomach, but in the mouth. This means that the product came out easily from the body and would not have caused him harm. In addition, there are no recorded case of suffering in this way. True information about toxic toothpaste from China, but it is an obsolete case. The truth is that there are investigations by which vitamin C in combination with carbonated drinks can lead to the creation of cancerogenic circuit in an organism. This shaped the messages that contain false information spread cause irrational panic. Yet one should not ignore the content of foods that can consume. Hope this explains everything - hoaxdetector Wed, 08 Jul 2009 00:38:06 +0100 http://www.brudirect.com/index.php/200907061943/HYS-Topic-Of-the-Day/beware-supermarket-shelf-poisons-can-kill.html#comment-2153 Wow.. I actually googled before making any comments here and I am shocked by how much we are uninformed about this matter. It happened like way back in 2006!!!! From my observation, the locals should be doing something about it. I mean, to reduce the consumption especially. After reading up, it is stated that although alcohol is toxic, the levels do not reach as high as benzene and at the rate we consume soft drinks, seriously, it is indeed time for a review. Of course, if you do not drink more soft drinks than water, I suppose it is not a huge concern. But look around and do you see young children holding tight on their tins and bottles with the infamous soft drinks label? In fact I can safely say that the teenagers nowadays rely on carbonated drinks as their source of fluid and with this, I doubt that they will believe that it is true. As usual, being ignorant. I have yet to look up on a particular product which is the small bottled "Vitamin C" sold on the shelfs of the drinks section. That would have the highest level of Vitamin C and I just wonder if they use the same preservative as other soft drinks. Thanks so much to the person who posted this. This is indeed an invaluable piece of information. http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474976743668 pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ie50188a017 - penny Tue, 07 Jul 2009 16:14:45 +0100 http://www.brudirect.com/index.php/200907061943/HYS-Topic-Of-the-Day/beware-supermarket-shelf-poisons-can-kill.html#comment-2148 Aspartame was banned in Romania because it caused cancer. It's not banned in Europe. There have been efforts in the UK Parliament. Food Standards is now doing a study on aspartame and the European Food Safety Authority is doing a review. We tried to get banned in New Mexico and Hawaii but have not been successful so far. I know nothing about any efforts in New Mexico. Dr. H. J. Roberts wrote Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, www.sunsentpress.com which is the medical text. We do many times call it Rumsfeld's Plague. In the movie Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World, www.soundandfury.tv James Turner, Atty, discusses how Rumsfeld got aspartame approved when the FDA revoked the petition for approval. Acesulfame potassium is not aspartame. However in original studies it caused cancer and leukemia so should not be used.
