I'll cut to the chase- my roommate got his hands on 1 lb of sugar free chocolate and ate it all in one sitting a few hours ago

He is now farting uncontrollably. It doesn't smell bad but the volume is astonishing. This is hilarious of course and with every chuckle he farts more. We are wondering two thing:

What the fuck is in that chocolate that would do this?
Should he go to the hospital?

>What the fuck is in those
Deoxylose-3,2-lysine
>Should he go to the hospital?
Yes, immediately. Deoxylose-3,2-lysine is commonly used as a component in aspartame and other artificial sweeteners as a cheap way of "cutting" some of the more expensive compounds used to make it.

Basically, it robs your body of the lysine amino acid. Without it, your friend will eventually slip into a coma and die, and that is absolutely out of the question.
