Video Description

"200 Calories" on a nutrition label doesn't describe the total flammable caloric content. I explore the differences between digestible and flammable calories using a homemade calorimeter with glass windows.

This will probably show up in my future video on macronutrients. Support Applied Science on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AppliedScience
