Turning my own pee into an artificial sweetener

- WARNING: Tasting chemicals that you make is almost always a bad idea. Even though I've taken several steps to make it as safe as possible, I'm still doing it at my own risk.
For this video, I'll be using the urea that I got in my last video, to make Dulcin. Dulcin was the second artificial sweetener to be discovered, but it's now banned due to health issues. My goal for this video is to make it using only easily sourced materials, and then to taste it at the end.

Chemistry is peculiar isn't it
And pain meds
Well, I mean, dulcin WAS taken off of the market due to the carcinogenic properties it possessed. Regardless, it's still funny to think about the stupid stuff we tried in pursuit of a decent sugar substitute.
chemistry is like gen z memes. you wouldn't think it'd work but it works way better than the original.
coca cola zero: zero sugar, zero calories, zero reasons for us to tell you what its made of
I like how he is telling us the ingredients like we are actually making experiments
People aren’t?
That's how you know he's a chemist. He's basically narrating his lab notebook which they are drilled to be meticulous in detailing.
Its education
it’s standard practice in chemistry to list your work step by step.
They see it as crucial to the process.
@@zhang_han so true. I was so thorough when i was going for my chemist degree😂 its like automatic😅
I love how he calls it an "artificial" sweetener when conceptually it could not possibly be more natural.
well its still received through chemical reactions and not occurs as sweetener in nature.
When you put it that way, technically everything we create is still "natural". We can't artificially create matter from nowhere lol

The red is "probably due to some side reaction" sounds completely safe
RocketSpecialist; Haha, I know right?
After he finished grinding it up, I was mentally pleading: "Please, please extract the acetaminophen from the fillers. PLEASE! No, no don't just dump it all in there, you don't know what random chemicals they mixed in with... aaaand now it all went red."
I guess he knew exactly what was in there though, because it seemed to be easily purified out!
maybe a starch indicator type reaction?
Sides reactions happen all the time in synthesis, it's only by subsequent purification steps that purity is improved - usually at the expense of yield. However, he really should have extracted the acetaminophen out of the pills/fillers before carrying out the reaction.
@@mortlet5180
I think that it was due to the carbonyl. Sometimes in strongly alkaline conditions carbonyls with alpha hydrogens give some sort of polymerization reaction, and when this happens the polymer is always that kind of red crap.
I don't think that it was due to the additive of the pills, most of the times the fillers and the binders are pretty inert stuff, like silica or some sort of magnesium salt.
I could be wrong though.
@@mortlet5180 Im sure he looked into it. You can find everything in any pill you want very easily, usually on the box itself. But this is usually for OTC stuff, prescription stuff is usually in the orange or blue bottles with the printed info labels. Depends how big the scrip is though, my buddies dad gets a 3 month bottle of oxycodone for his scoliosis and the bottle looks more like an advil bottle than a prescription bottle, and it has all the ingredients and binders listed. You can also find the info on their website for all the pills a certain brand makes. This goes for basically any and ALL brands of pills in circulation.

It would be fun for the poop fetish people on the internet.
Dumbass the video is 18:50 long
But 💩 is way too grohs, so don't try to give them wrong ideas -- even I the pure being wouldn't use my pure 💩 for experiments because it's still 💩 and it could make a mess, even though it doesn't smeII bad (unlike humans' 💩s that have awfeI smeIIs that linger in the air for over 30 minutes, yukk) and it has little to no smeII, and I couldn't imagine eempure beings doing that, and so far I only know my protectors aka the alphas who are a pure being like me, and I don't know if any of the ytbrs are a pure being or not (if a guy isn't a pure being, the smeII of his 💩 would also be awfeI and it might steen k up the whole lab) so, it's a really bad idea to suggest such a thing!
If a guy's 💩 and p33 smeII awfeI and grohs one out and linger in the air, he's either an eempure being or his diet is really bad aka it includes meats and animal products (the more meats/animal products one eats, the more awfeI his 💩 and p33 are going to smeII) because, meats and animal products can make even a pure man's 💩 and p33 smeII bad.
So I am the only being on Earth who's proud of her p33!
I appreciate this kind of videos, definitely in the future where all of the resources has scarcity this would really help

I know I'm crazy late here, but if you made a gallon of sweet tea, Southern style the first pitcher would have 5 regular tea bags, and 2 cups (which is roughly 250 grams) of regular sugar. This would make it much easier for you to do the Dulcin, as it would be just 1 gram.

"Ingestion of about 20-40 grams of Dulcin in adults is known to produce hypotension, nausea, dizziness and methemoglobinemia. It was noticed that the compound produced hazardous decomposition product upon heating."
That might be why it didn't take off.
that makes sense. Besides, to match the sweetness of 20-40 grams of Dulcin, you'd need 500-1000g (.5-1kg) of sugar, or about 5 cups. I highly doubt that would be much healthier either.
Hypotension may actually be useful if someone suffers from hypertension.
