Miraculin or Miracle Fruit has the potential to wipe out sugar related diabetes, not by sweetening food but by changing the way our taste buds interpret food.


Imagine eating the sweetest fruits out of the season, or enjoying healthy unsweetened dark chocolate that tastes like the finest milk chocolate from Holland, and doing it without adding a single calorie or grain of sweetener. Yes, this is possible and has been for decades.

Didn't you know?

For the last 50 years, our society has been pounded with the evils of

smoking, drinking, eating red meat, and that we should cut as much salt and fat from our diets as possible. Under the guise of healthy living, we are being programmed to replace our intake of butter with margarine or red meat with soy alternatives. This brings me to my point. We are being sold a bill of goods and any questioning is quickly muffled by the industries who control our food. We are told to eat this or that instead of that or this, but only if it is beneficial to the industry promoting it.

 

One such industry is the sugar industry also known as BIG SUGAR!

There are very few things in life that are as good yet so harmful to you as refined white sugar. Sugar is by far the largest worldwide addiction that is openly protected by the FDA. White refined sugar is not a food. It is a chemical. It is an addictive drug.  Yes, that's right, an addictive drug and when you remove it from your diet you can experience withdrawal symptoms. Refined sugar is used in everything from bread to fruit juice. Fruit juice! No way, they use fructose in fruit juice.

So called "Natural Sweeteners";

If you consider fructose a safe, natural sugar, think again. You've been had by one of the biggest nutritional bait-and-switch ploys in years. Fructose does not come from fruit, it IS refined sugar! High fructose consumption has been fingered as a causative factor in heart disease. It raises blood levels of cholesterol and another type of fat, triglyceride. It makes blood cells more prone to clotting, and it may also accelerate the aging process. So the next time you see a commercial touting the virtues of Fructose as the actor sucks on her popsicle... know that they are lying to you.

Even though there are healthier natural alternatives, BIG SUGAR continues to protect their interests in much the same way big tobacco has for decades. They own both the sugar and sugar replacement markets which meant that getting other, healthier alternatives are slim at best and getting these truths nonexistent.

Artificial Sweeteners;

Artificial replacements are known to have carcinogens. They cause CANCER and the companies making them know it. They have been rebranded constantly to keep consumers from understanding the true hazards of ingesting such products. Imagine renaming a product, changing the color of the box and calling it healthy! Such artificial sweeteners are; Acesulfame potassium — Nutrinova, E950 (FDA Approved 1988), Alitame — Pfizer (Pending FDA Approval), Aspartame — NutraSweet, E951 (FDA Approved 1981), Salt of aspartame-acesulfame — Twinsweet, E962, Cyclamate — Abbott, E952 (FDA Banned 1969, pending re-approval), Dulcin — (FDA Banned 1950) Glucin, Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone E959, Neotame, NutraSweet (FDA Approved 2002), P-4000 (FDA Banned 1950), Saccharin E954 (FDA Approved 1958), Sucralose — Kaltame, Splenda, Tate & Lyle, E955 (FDA Approved 1998)

Natural Sweeteners that truly are healthy (honestly!);

Naturalists and foodies are just now starting to expound the virtues of natural sugar alternatives such as stevia, mannitol, glycerol and the primary subject of this article miraculin. Miraculin is a glycoprotein extracted from the miracle berry or miracle fruit plant, a shrub native to West Africa (Synsepalum dulcificum or Richadella dulcifica). Rather than acting as a sweetening agent, miraculin changes the way our taste buds interpret flavors. It makes sour limes and lemons taste like lemon aide. It makes healthy unsweetened dark chocolate taste like fine milk chocolate. And it does all of this without adding a single calorie or grain of sweetener.

The ad read; Are you diabetic? Would you like to eat chocolate cake again? How about a chocolate cake with no sugar that tastes like the most decadent brownie you've ever tasted? Are you overweight? Would you like to eat fruit that tastes like candy, instead of candy that is killing you?

YES! Of course I would, while thinking to myself that this has to be a con. After hearing all the hype about Miracle fruit I started researching this so-called miracle plant. I was going to get to the bottom of this thing and find out for myself. I was amazed at what I found out, and it prompted me to purchase a package of miraculin tablets. These are freeze dried miracle fruit berries with a little corn starch added to hold the tablets together. They are all natural and won't interact with any medicines negatively. I started looking for a place to buy some miraculin and found a site (http://miraclefruithut.com) that offered lightning fast shipping. I placed my order and for $15, I received 10 tablets in about 2 days (yes they shipped lightning fast just as they had promised), and I was ready to give it a try.

Keep in mind that I myself am a sweetaholic and I crave sugar. I drink my coffee sweetened and have become addicted to flavored (artificial) creamers. I do love fruit, however, getting good naturally ripened and sweet fruit is next to impossible these days. With that said, for my test I got a melon that was not very sweet, out of season and the flavor was, well... blah! Imagine biting into a piece of candle wax with a dash of sugar on it.

After chewing on the miracle berry tablet and rolling it around in my mouth for a minute or two (as directed), I took a bite of my blah melon. OH MY GOODNESS! It was like I'd never eaten a cateloupe before. Is this what God intended fruit to taste like? I can't wait to try a miracle fruit berry now. I've read that they are twice as potent as the tablets and are the purest way to really exploit the power of miraculin.

A little about my research on Miracle Fruit;

The Miracle Fruit was first discovered and brought attention to by the western world by explorer Chevalier des Marchais during a 1725 excursion of West Africa
when he became aware that local tribes in West Africa were using this berry to add flavour and appetise their otherwise bland foods. Then In the 60's
and the 70's an Entreupreuner Named Robert Harvey who had studied this amazing berry after Des Marchais's discoveries managed to raise tens of millions of dollars to create an all natural alternative to sugar using the Miracle Fruit.
He sucessfully managed to synthesize the active ingredient inside the berry the natural protein known as Miraculin.

He began making Miracle Fruit Tablets because as like most Tropical Plants the fruits on the plant have a very short shelf life which is the reason many Fruits from the Tropics do not make it to the Western world.

Diabetics were going crazy for them and kids were choosing miracle fruit popsicles over popsicles with artificial sweeteners by an enourmous margin. This is when other Corporations became interested and Robet Harvey was turning down offers for billions of dollars as Miraculin looked like it was poised and ready to become an all natural alternative to Sugar. Just as the berry was about to launch Harveys office was raided by industrial spies, His files and research was stolen, he got into high speed car chases in the middle of the night and people were following him. Not long after In 1974 Robert Harvey Recieved a letter from the FDA saying the miracle berry products are not allowed into the market in any form what soever which led him to shutting down his entire operation.
 
The Laws from the FDA regarding miracle fruit are quite uncertain and suspicious. Many inquiries have been made regarding miracle fruit. Thier stance is that they consider miracle fruit as a food additive. Miraculin cannot be used as a food additive, effectively locking it out of the food chain. However, the fresh berry itself can be used legally and this is regulated by the USDA. Unfortunately the USDA seems to be stuck in a regulatory limbo.

This amazing berry is great for your health, yet it is not legalised to be in commercial food and drink products although legal to be sold on the internet in its natural forms.

How could anyone at the FDA not promote something so pure, so good and so potentially life changing is beyond me. And worse still is the fact that they are determined to keep anyone from enjoying the benefits of this miracle fruit. Have they actually tried it? I'd have to think not, but then they also want to ban Vitamin C at the request of BIG Pharma! Who BTW, also have a vested interest in BIG SUGAR, reference "Artificial Sweeteners" above.

I didn't read the whole article, but it looks like I have read it all elsewhere. Have you actually tried pure dark chocolate with Miracle Fruit? I have , it does not taste sweet, it doesn't even taste any better. Chocolate is bitter, not sour.

False advertising.

However, I would like to see this approved by the FDA. If I had the money, I would.

[MiracleFruitHut]

Yes, i have tried Lindt 99% dark chocolate and other bitter dark chocolate...and it has tasted sweet and amazing like brownies, I have many customers who could vouch for this, the one who wrote the article being just one.

Bitter, Acidic and Sour gets transformed by Miraculin into sweet or at the very least to bring out different flavour notes which are noticeable. That's why guiness people say tastes like chocolate milkshake or nesquik because it is so bitter.

You should read the article fully...the FDA do not want it legal...but yet they legalize lethal alternatives?

Robert Harvey had millions of investment...it's not money that is the Issue as this article shows. Also the Article is completely unique no information is copied from anywhere it is just the customers research, knowledge and understanding of miracle fruit expressed.

[miracleuk]

Nice article if a little sensationalist.

[silenceisgod]

The way I see it, miraculin masks ascorbic acid and lets you taste the sugars. For things like lemons, the taste is overly dramatized by the brain because it would expect the sour. This is just my idea because if you don't have something sour nothing is changed. Some people taste a change in bitter, but I don't.

What's interesting though is that lemons taste almost as sweet as oranges under mf, even though it has about half the sugar by weight and the same vitamin C. While I personally believe it can be used for fun, or to get kids to eat fruit, or in some ways to make no sugar ADDED drinks, I can't imagine it being able to "wipe out diabetes". It makes it easier to taste the sugars already there. It wouldn't be able to do that for a food not being masked. I do believe the FDA should allow it to be used in sugary fruit drinks, though (Those have as much as 100 grams added per bottle where MF would do).

Just so you know, acidic foods is BECAUSE of sour (Ascorbic acid, mostly).

@ MiracleUK, Thanks for reading the article as stated it was not personally written by me however i think the customer was aiming for the truth of the matter and being straight to the point.

@ Silenceisgod....Miraculin transforms acidic, bitter and sour natured foods and drinks into sweet...understandably the effects are more dramatic on acidic natured foods like lemons and limes...but its still very noticeable and many fantastic loves and flavour notes can be found in bitter and sour foods as i have found new loves for food with miracle fruit.

Of course, the miracle fruit does effect people differently based on how they are, some people have a better sense of taste than others. But all will notice the effect with lemons as you stated, in my case all bitter is transformed to sweet and hundreds of my customers claim the same, it depends on the person.

But amongst the gimic sides or fun of being able to eat a lemon...there is a serious side to the article and to the potentials of Miracle Fruit.

What is the real issue with why miracle fruit is being stopped from getting out there? To which the answer really is clear once the history is researched and really is unacceptable.

The reason it can cure diabetes is logically speaking....many people are getting diabetes from white refined sugar and other related artificial sweeteners, there is endless research that shows this, not to mention current diabetics who can benefit from using Miracle fruit to sweeten their food rather than harmful artificial sweeteners, Chemotherapy patients also using it to bring back appetite or others who have to take Bitter medicines have purchased off us in the past.

So you see two massive areas diabetes could be stopped and facilitated by Miracle fruit or other organic sweeteners.

Miracle fruit does not make it easier to taste sugar it tricks the minds interpretation of what the flavours really taste like so that an apple once acidic and more so sour will now be a very sweet apple. If you were to eat something very sugary under miracle fruit it is a lot of the time tasteless i have found.

But I recommend strawberries one of my personal favourites

There was a discussion about this somewhere, I can't remember. I am not sure to what degree you might be right, but I do know it does change total sour to total sweet. I have had pure Citric and Malic acid powder which both taste rediculously sweet.

I have treid Guiness and it definetely did not taste like a milk shake, and the other five people trying it with me said the same. It tastes better but not like chocolate milk.

However, I cannot speak for everyone, I hope its true for some people that it also changes bitter. However, I think it a coincidence, it is merely changing the sour, the transformed sweetness then masks the bitter. I think that only becuase of the glycoprotien research they have done to show what it does to specific taste buds. Of course, I don't know everything and that is why we are here!

I like the article, and have read most of it elsewhere, though I don't know where. Sorry. I do not think it is beyond the FDA to prevent this from coming through. Especially with the lobbyists we have.

[miracleuk]

Speaking of the FDA and the banning of miraculin - are there any EU vendors interested in producing a dossier to get miracle fruit approved as a foodstuff within the EU?

[MiracleFruitHut]

Well its the FSA responsible for the Miracle fruits censorship, we was actually selling Mberry Miracle fruit tablets on Amazon UK and we got stopped by Amazon a few months into it with them claiming i was making false claims regarding its cancer abilities all i said is that it can be used as an alternative cancer treatment, For chemotherapy as its well known. However after further enquiry I found out Trading Standards in the UK had approached Amazon asking them to remove my listing because the miracle fruit is classed as a novel food in the UK which means its not gone through enough testing in this part of the world to be considered credible of public consumption...you have to apply for the Novel foods act to get a product legalised in that way to be sold so the necessary tests can be done which you obviously need money to do, I have been discussing with Mberry who I work closely with getting this sorted so that miracle fruit can reach people in the UK as I know from experience there was many people interested on Amazon UK. But we'll have to see how that transpires. Either way its all censorship to hold down miracle fruit really.

[silenceisgod]

This product is not intended to treat, cure, or diagnose any disease.

Gotta always have that.

[Arjibuh]

"all i said is that it can be used as an alternative cancer treatment, For chemotherapy as its well known."

Yikes, Im not sure if this is what you meant, but I have not heard it said to be an alternative to chemotherapy. The only thing I have seen is that it can help food taste better for people on chemotherapy as chemo messes with the taste buds. Miracle Fruit can make some of those flavors better.

Very dangerous to say it is an alternative to chemotherapy, though I am not sure if that is what you meant.

[MiracleFruitHut]

Apologies it was late when i wrote that message I meant to say it is used after treatment for chemotherapy as a method to bring back flavour and appetite.

In my listing it actually stated the same as the U.S one on Amazon did 'Can Benefit Cancer Patients' Hardly a false statement at all when i have plenty of customers who purchase off me for this purpose.

The miracle fruit is banned to be sold in Europe essentially. The Miracle Fruit Tablets anyway for sure since the Novel Foods act needs to be applied for. So there is no hope of putting them on Amazon UK where sadly there was huge interest in them from what i presume when i was selling was experimental cooks a lot of the time since i had placed them in the kitchen section. Strangely on Ebay there appears to be little interest from my experience.
