Synsepalum dulcificum

The berry itself has a low sugar content[7] and a mildly sweet tang. It contains a glycoprotein molecule, with some trailing carbohydrate chains, called miraculin.[8][9] When the fleshy part of the fruit is eaten, this molecule binds to the tongue's taste buds, causing sour foods to taste sweet. At neutral pH, miraculin binds and blocks the receptors, but at low pH (resulting from ingestion of sour foods) miraculin binds protons and becomes able to activate the sweet receptors, resulting in the perception of sweet taste.[10] This effect lasts until the protein is washed away by saliva (up to about 60 minutes).[11] The names miracle fruit and miracle berry are shared by Gymnema sylvestre and Thaumatococcus daniellii,[2] which are two other species of plant used to alter the perceived sweetness of foods. History[edit] For a time in the 1970s, US dieters could purchase a pill form of miraculin.[15] The idea of the "miraculin party"[15] was conceived then. Characteristics[edit] Uses[edit]

Searle had strong ties to the FDA and while they were developing aspartame they inserted an FDA commissioner just long enough to push aspartame through and get it approved. Just as Miralin was about to launch, and aspartame was being approved, the Miralin was labeled a "food additive," instead of just food, which is what it was. True story. The FDA stated that miracle berries couldn't be used in any form. Now for some science. The first time I tried it, I was hooked.

Πάντα με γοήτευε να παίρνω τον ρόλο του κλέφτη συνεπαρμένος από θρύλους για λήσταρχους παλικάρια , που βοηθούσαν τους φτωχούς που τους αγαπούσαν οι κόμισσες και πέθαιναν με μπαμπεσιά. Βέβαια μεγαλώνοντας ανακάλυψα ότι οι πραγματικοί λήσταρχοι είναι άλλοι (τράπεζες , πολιτικοί , μεγαλοδικηγόροι κλπ κλπ) Αλλά τα πρόσωπα αυτά , Νταβέλης, Κακαράπης, Γιαγκούλας , Αρβανιτάκηδες και άλλοι , όλοι τους παιδιά της φτώχειας της αδικίας αλλά και της αναρχικής νοοτροπίας τους, έχουν εισχωρήσει στην περιοχή του μύθου και παραμένουν ακόμη γοητευτικά. Ο Φώτης Γιαγκούλας γεννήθηκε στα 1900 στο χωριό Λιβαδερό του νομού Κοζάνης. Ένα χρόνο μετά ένας φίλος του Γιαγκούλα αγαπούσε μια κοπέλα από τον Πολύραχο αλλά ενώ το κορίτσι τον ήθελε για άντρα της, δε μπορούσε να κάνει τίποτα αφού αρνιόταν να τη δώσει ο πατέρας της, ο οποίος, σε καμιά περίπτωση δεν θα ενέκρινε αυτό το γάμο.
