Quaker brand masa tastes and smells much better than Maseca. Walmarts in Houston carry it.

Hello, 1) I did not make a mistake on the Pantothenic acid. It is 13.6mcg in the multivitamin, which is micrograms. 13.6mcg = 0.0136mg. 2) I have already explained that my recipe is entirely for convenience, and said you can get oats and blend them…

I'd also put money on all of those items containing vanillin. Depending on how it's produced, vanillin can be called "natural flavor" because the active flavor molecule is the same as produced in nature... but some people report adverse reactions, depending…

Saturation is a term mostly used in chemistry.
Karunamon - Sep 18, 2014 7:31pm
That's kind of where I went. I eventually just ordered a week's supply on eBay (at a significant premium...) to see if sticking it out for the official stuff to get here was worth it or not.

The way I see it: if you do, you're part of the problem. However, despite still waiting for my day-one backer order, I think it would be reasonable to do it once, so that they can get a sample that's more than just a taste, and then see if they think…

Maybe starving isn't quite precise enough. As a beta tester I found being without Soylent : frustrating,disappointing ,inconvenient, disatisfed with other food. I also felt a craving for Soylent. Once it became a regular part of my diet I've felt like…

Beano does, in fact, do wonders on gas. If the gas is still significant, you'll need at least three servings per day. It took me 4 servings, and it still didn't completely eliminate the issue. But it made a huge difference, and eliminated it during…

MattCauble - Sep 18, 2014 3:51pm
When we ran the Beta program the biggest complaint we received was running out of Soylent. We had friends that told us they were starving and were having a hard time adjusting back to regular food. Soylent makes other options else seem like a huge waste…

I would definitely (and did) start with Axcho - Marion Fuel is my recommendation, personally, and my DIY (after some experiments) ended up pretty similar to that.

Actually, this paper focuses on saccharine, not aspartame. They found the same effect with aspartame and sucralose, but it was strongest with saccharine, so that's what they did the study on. Here are some more lay-press write-ups with details, for those…

the fact that the researchers gave the FDA's maximal acceptable daily intake of saccharin to the human participants — about 5 mg / kg body weight per day — isn’t ideal. In a real-life setting, that dose would be the equivalent to a 150-pound person consuming…
