In today’s world, health conscious individuals and diabetics the world over have been on a seemingly eternal mission to avoid refined sugar in the foods they eat. Unfortunately, virtually all of today’s low-calorie sweeteners can be hazardous to your health or simply miss the point when it comes to mimicking the taste of sugar. With a great desire for a safer, more natural, and chemical-free alternative to sugar, it’s a real shame that there isn’t an easily accessible, organic sugar alternative to sweeten our foods.
Well, actually, there is a fantastic all-natural substitute out there, although it was hidden from the public for many years due to money being seized by sugar replacement providers and lobbying the government for their private tax gains at the expense of health and wellbeing. welfare of the nation. Dubbed “The Miracle Fruit Conspiracy,” this removal of a purely natural ingredient that could easily ease the shackles of diabetes problems and thereby help citizens eat healthier could go down the list of cover-ups. boldest nutritionists of all time.
Sometimes called by various names including Miracle Berry as well as its scientific label Synsepalum Dulcificum, the miracle fruit is a unique shrub that hails from West Africa. Its red colored fruit, about the size of a cranberry, contains a natural substance called miraculin that has the power to limit the sour and bitter taste buds on the tongue, altering the taste associated with sour and bitter into sweet. You heard right; Miraculin can make all sour and bitter tasting foods taste as delicious as the sweetest sugar you’ve ever tasted before. Miracle Berry’s transformative flavor attributes are so powerful and strong that Miracle Berry has been used as a great alternative to sugar around the world for many years. So if this kind of super fruit is really so wonderful, why haven’t you found it until now?
This particular conspiracy begins as a tale of two organizations. GD Searle, led by Donald Rumsfeld (yes, former Defense Secretary Rumsfeld himself), became the company assigned to move aspartame through the FDA approval process as an artificial sweetener, and Maralin, led by Robert Harvey, whose ambition was to use Miraculin from Miracle Berry as an alternative to organic sugar.
Mr. Harvey and Marailin achieved excellent results using Miracle Fruit as a sweetener. His Miracle Berry-enhanced foods performed very well, with people preferring Miracle Berry-based treats to sugar by a considerable margin. These positive effects unsettled sugar manufacturers and sweetener manufacturers who for no reason wanted their multi-billion dollar businesses to collapse over a single organically grown ingredient.
GD Searle maintained substantial ties to the government, had to pay huge amounts to lobbyists, and was even able to insert a nice face as the new FDA commissioner just in time to be able to move aspartame through FDA clearance. Not only did they get their own chemically developed product accepted, but at the same time they were able to persuade the FDA to give Miracle Fruit a “food additive” designation the day before Marailin was created to launch their first product. product execution. Regarded as a food additive, Mr. Harvy and Marailin were now expected to spend many more years of considerable scrutiny and costly testing before the FDA could clear Miraculins for use as a viable retail sugar replacement. The additional time and expense imposed by the FDA ultimately led to the demise of Marilin and thus the use of Miracle Berry as an effective commercial alternative to sugar. In addition to the FDA reclassification, Mr. Harvie’s business ended up being broken into, ransacked, and his research papers stolen and demolished. In the end, it appears that the big companies finally got their way and succeeded in thwarting the prolific use of Miracle Berries as a viable commercialized sweetener.
Today, decades later, after more or less being wiped off the map entirely, Miracle Fruit is finally allowed back into the US market and it’s only a matter of time until people realize what a wool it was. thrown. over their eyes due to business and corporate greed. This natural, plant-based sweetener is poised to start a revolution in sugar supplementation.
