Yup. Taurine for pep. Same reason they put it in cheap dog food.

I don't know about dogs but cats can't synthesize their own taurine, kind of like humans can't synthesize vitamin C, so their food has to be enriched in it.

Ikr, both sugar and cocaine activate the exact same dopaminic pathways in your brain, it floods the nucleus accumbens with signals of intense pleasure and satisfaction, creating a long term addiction, but only one is legal.

Cocaine has some additional interactions with the body that one might consider fairly pivotal.

I have never once heard anyone describe the scent of cocaine.

It's the white can. It's sugar free but definitely does something for my ADHD

It has other kinds of sugars in it, like inositol. Not to mention the caffiene.
