Forget the Tupperware—let’s have a miracle fruit party — 9 Comments

  1. Does this work like the skin temperature phenomenon, wherein you chill your hand (say) way down and then feel the sensation of burning by running lukewarm water over it? So sour anything would taste sweet by contrast?

  2. Not so new. We of the sixties witnessed exactly the same phenomenon after the second joint.

  3. Why FDA banished extract of this fruit (miraculin) to be sold as artificial sweetener? This is simply a protein. It can not be a health hazard even theoretically.

  4. Surely the miracle fruit can be transformed with Miracle Whip and with Jello.

  5. Eaters will get the same insulin spike even if it doesn’t contain any increased glucose.This phenomenon also occurs in diet soda and other artificially sweetened drinks;our brains taste sugar and we get the insulin resistance effect.Ever wonder why people still stay overweight even though they consume plenty of sugar free foods?

  6. People stay overweight because they continue to eat lots of other carbohydrates even when they switch to sugar-free diet. It is mostly American phenomenon: Americans are notorious for sticking to bad dietary habits. Recently I attended a herontology seminar where a cardiologist gave his advice on avoiding cardiovascular diseases. Overweight was named as the leading risk factor, and statistics was really convincing. He pointed out that both Europe and USA has achieved sizable risk reduction during last two decades, they did it by very different strategies: Europeans radically changed their dietary habits, while Americans did it by using medication and regular probing cholesterol in bloodstream. In Finland there is no obesity problem now: they eat more fish and vegetables, olive oil and stop use pork products and fat milk and butter, very popular previously in this really cold country.

  7. To use the old Hanseatic League standards, fat people are rich and prosperous people.

  8. Hey, we are all decendants of Marie Antoinette:

    We want to have our cake and eat it, too!
