user-pic  Miracle Fruit Makes Sugar Obsolete?
By: Mark Joyner

Pop one of these berries in your mouth and hold it there.

Set your timer for two minutes.

Now eat something sour like a lemon or a lime.  It will now taste to you as sweet as an orange.

Science Fiction?

Nope, it's the "miracle fruit" and it's offered in a few select cafes in Japan.  Diners there say the sugar-free (and artificial sweetener free) deserts taste "just like the real thing."

I don't think it's available in the US yet, but there are quite a few people making a ruckus about that so I imagine you'll see it quite soon.

I just hope the aspartame community doesn't mount a disinformation campaign to keep it out.

This fruit may be sweet and that's great for some. The chocolateholic will not be impressed because they let almost 85% to 90% pure cocoa melt in their mouth and its not sweet - its chocolaty

Hi, The Miracle Fruit is grown in most tropical parts of the world including Florida. In tropical Australia we would find it in many backyards and used as a novelty for tourists and other visitors. The effect on the palate lasts about 2 to 3 hours. Cheers, Tony Woodall.

This is not a sweetener, as its effects depend on what is eaten afterwards - it is a sensory blocker that prevents your tongue's receptors from correctly identifying bitter and sour tastes... YOU CAN NOT USE IT AS A SWEETENER!

There is a true plant based sweetener that can even be grown in most temperate climate backyards but the distribution / sale of this plant's leaves as a sweetener is NOT LEGAL in the USA thanks to an extremely strong artificial sweetener lobby in DC... THIS IS NOTHING NEW - the BS began back in the 70s if I recall correctly. Want something to really dig your teeth into then do some quality research and discover the origins to today's artificial sweeteners - yes, they were developed in the lab but not for the reasons that you might think... I was shocked when I found out about it.
Want to know more? then have MJ contact me directly.

Note from MJ: Hi TBox, you're referring to stevia, yes?

I love the comment section, great idea!

OK Guys. How 'bout a hint on the botanical name? Is this the Carambola or Star fruit you're all talking about - Averrhoa Carambola?

Note from MJ: Hey Peter, please click on the link to the wikipedia entry there and it has all the info you need ...

Hey Mark.. did any one told you that YOU ARE a brilliant person when it come to make people want to buy your newest product, information or service?

I am sure they did.. but since I did not do it before.. I take this opportunity to share it here.

I made several purchases from you in the past, but so far.. did not achieve financial success.

I want to wish you long and healthy life anyway (you are a nice and generous person) and hope you continue to assist people like me who need to learn your secret and make it (financially) sooner:-)

Note from MJ: Hey Nick, I wish I were selling Miracle Fruit, but I'm not :-) If you want fast financial success check out the 7 Day Business Turnaround Kit. Do that to the letter and I bet you'll be surprised.

I live in Florida and grow miracle fruit plants on my lanai. The problem is, as mentioned earlier, they don't make everything taste sweet. Mostly citrus. Not all desserts would taste sweet. Further, it makes some things taste sweet that shouldn't. For example, beer doesn't taste that great after a miracle fruit. And, once you've eaten one all you can do is wait for it to go away.

It is a delicate fruit and can't really be shipped before it spoils. Even in the refrigerator mine don't last over a day. There are some places around the Keys that sell them w/ Key lime pie for about $2 (plus the cost of the pie). An expensive novelty - they are a fun houseplant as a conversation piece.

Dang. I was hoping it was a kumquat. That's a miracle fruit.

this is also in response to TBox....Mankind aren't meant to be lab rats!!! There is enough poison in the sweeteners that if given to lab rats, they would die!
Why do you think so many people have cancer today? This post is not big enough for me to go on, but it is almost too hard to swallow when you do your due diligence.
Stevia isn't too bad...but I still like homey as a sweetener!

Just wondering if the fruit can be frozen like other berries and shipped and kept that way????
It would probably only take a very short amount of time for the berries to individually thaw.

I believe the banning of Stevia in the USA was largely down to the campaigning of the sugar cartels rather than the artificial sweetener manufacturers (who probably have a large stake in the sugar companies anyway).

Talk about the drug cartels. The sugar barons are the worst of the lot.

you know maybe they should think about using this on alcholics.
