Just threw away 14 pouches of pork gelatin. Each 20 grams. I put it in hot water to dissolve and asked my colleagues what the smell reminds them of - all 4 said pig or cattle urine/***t. I don’t have to tell you the subsequent looks i got.

The point I’m trying to make is that one should assume the worst, in terms of what’s in these things. What enters the production, how it is cleaned and subsequently processed. That goes way beyond what you can smell. Btw I’ve been consuming this specific brand for years, it has always had a subtle offensive pig ***t odor, but this batch takes the crown. Utterly repugnant.
This point applies not just to the broth vs gelatin debate, but also to gelatine vs pure glycine debate. I’ll take some trace heavy metals from a lab-made glycine over pigg piss any day.
I quite like my powdered glycine. I do over 30 grams a day.
So next time someone tells you gelatine is more than just glycine, keep this in mind. Whether that ‘more’ is what you really want.
