'WARNING MATURE CONTENT 18+ http://www.asiafoodrecipe.com You have probably already witnessed this on YouTube; a squid appears to be alive as its tentacles writhe as soy sauce is poured over it at restaurants in Hokkaido, Japan. With millions of views, some called it \" Sadistic and cruel and ... abhorrent\" others say \" You animal lovers just gotta chill out. IT\'S FOOD.\" The question on top of everyone\'s mind is - Is it alive? According to Charles Grisham, Chemistry Professor at the University of Virginia, the squid is dead. What people are seeing is most of the tissue of an organism recently dead... which is actually still alive. \"Cell membranes are nearly intact... so brain function may be missing, but the cell membranes will respond to stimuli resulting in muscle contraction.\"... \"Soy sauce still has sodium Chloride..and soy gets absorbed by the suckers.\" This is where the sensors in the suckers react to the sodium chloride. There is however a real moral question that is on top of people\'s mind which is \"Does the Squid feel pain?\" According the Charles Grisham the answer is no. This is because the head is severed off and without the brain function is no longer have the capacity to process neural pain functions. In short, Go ahead, eat that Squid!
