While CRISPR is a promising technology for practicing biologists and geneticists, it's not really a viable option to do anything with in humans in the near future. Using CRISPR to insert modifications requires first generating organisms with the Cas9…

Hi guys ! I'm quite new in the DIY community and I am strugling with these mineral ratios. Is the table posted by @Mqrius in September still "state of the art" ? Mqrius said: Ratios min max Accepted ActualCalcium:Phosphorus 2.5ish 2.5ish TRUE 2.21Calcium:Magnesium…

Oh yeah. 2 tsp is almost twice the RDA at around 4.2 g of sodium. Ouch!

The body can't retain water without salt. Yes, craving salt can be a sign of dehydration, but in this case the body needs more salt, not more water. If a person craves salt and figures, "OK, I'm dehydrated, I'll just drink more and more and more water..."…

I do not remember the exact amount, but I drank approximately 2 tsp of table salt over the course of 20 minutes. I don't remember off the top of my head how much sodium that is, pretty sure less than one gram though. But I forgot to put any into that…

LOL no... it's utterly safe, inoffensive, and funny. Go ahead and click, then you'll get the joke.

I haven't been able to try the recipe again, but I definitely will go back to it next week.

Wait, is there a blog post with the pic of a turd? I don't want to click on that link.

Yup. I'm adding it into my batches every night now. I wasn't too worried about drinking it from a glass as 500 mg of table salt is roughly the same amount of sodium in a glass of Gatorade. If I was drinking multiple glasses of it, it'd be an issue…

Since they're still not shipping to the Americans very fast, I'd guess that Rosa Labs' biggest problem at the moment is producing Soylent in quantity, so they probably wouldn't be able to just fill a container and sail it to Belgium if they wanted to.…

Thank you for your prompt replies!I had thought the math couldn't be right on one of the two cal:phos stats but was reluctant to say it like that because you clearly are much more knowledgeable on the subject! I should be more forward next time I guess.…

@j8048188, keto-flu symptons have more to do with feeling fatigued, sleepy, dizzyheaded, and it is due to a lack of electrolytes. the amount of these that need to be ingested on a keto diet is a lot more than the amount needed on diets with carbs. if…

it has calcium, magnesium, phosphurus and choline. in my recipe, it also amounted to 127 calories (from fat and carbs) as @j8048188 says, it's main purpose is to act as an emulsifier.

Also, if I understand your question, it sounds like you're having trouble getting the 1.3:1 ratio and you want to know if this is a health concern? I have 2 answers for you: Narcissist Answer: I would personally only be concerned if your ratios were…

Holy crap. I really hope nobody has gone out of their way to make a 1:3 recipe. That was a typo! Thank you very much for pointing this out, @Fin. It is supposed to be 1.3:1... I must have messed it up while trying to beautify it in the last edit... months…

Calcium : Phosphorus ratio = at least 1:3 (2.5:140 for blood content, not diet)RDI for calcium is 1.3x phosphorus I apologise for my lack of understanding... I have a recipe in the making with 1.1g calcium and 1.8g phosphorus, this is more than 1:3 c:p…

How much salt gave you a sodium overdose? P.S. I hope someday we can custom order our Soylent through the web so that Soylent is then really complete for any given person (eg has as much salt as you need/want, D3, right calories, etc.).

Someone should set up a still image that looks like a stream and see how many hits it can get.

Depends on the micronutrients. I will be getting a house in August or September and dedicating a room as a lab - I want to set up a bioreactor with LED grow lights. I'll start producing algae and processing it into purified macros, and then determine…

But about an experiment. Even just a webcam that we can look in on and monitor it's progress would be cool. Just like the famous online coffee pot of the 90's, we could call it "soylent bomb cam". We could run a sweepstake to guess the closest time to…

I would add a tsp of table salt to your daily mix and see how that goes. As others have pointed out, official Soylent is 45% RDA of sodium. The RDA is no more than 2.4g, but that is affected by several variables such as gender, weight, activity level,…

and I wonder what the legend of that hole in the ceiling ultimately became! =D

These stories sound so much like they should start "there was this one time, at soylent camp...." the last one, from @nc1701d reminded me of an ill fated experiment I conducted at high school in a back room lab. (I was a "lab boy", a bit like a hall…

Definitely the sodium. Extra water didn't help, but adding kosher salt did the trick. No more cravings.

Am I a bad person for laughing so hard at these stories???

Ok, so here's my Beerlent (fermenting Soylent) story: I have a pretty plain thermos thingy I usually keep my soylent in. Just aluminum, with a hard plastic screw top with a rubbery gasket. Nothing fancy. So I'd had it at work with me, and had consumed…

Yeah but the real question is, who gives a sit? Thank you, thank you... I'll be here all week, be sure to tip your wait staff!

Man maybe I should just drive up to M5 and ask to borrow some of their equipment. Fun fact - years before there was a Mythbusters show, I met with Jamie when he had just moved his shop into that building and was looking to sub-lease some of the space.…

I thought your stools were fine. I don't see what the problem is.

It's in the name of science bro. And no kittens will be harmed. I figure a camera at a high frame rate on loop record, and some way to notify you when it goes off, and stop recording then. A gopro with a 64gb microsd card would be ample... Need to run…

And waste perfectly good food? Isn't that rather antithetical to the soylent cause? LOL

Thanks. They really do come in all shapes and sizes.

Perhaps Jamie et al of myth busters fame can do a series of experiments. Or.. any wannabe Jamies with too much time on thier hands, a packet of official soylent and a YouTube account want to give it a go? @vanclute I am looking at you

Hmmm strictly from a collectability point of view, that's kinda cool...

The soylent team went low on sodium, so it would be acceptable for people on sodium restricted diets. Contrary to popular belief sodium will not raise your blood pressure, unless you are in a small population of sodium sensitives. There is also some suggestive…

Compared to Soylent, which is chemical powders, flour, and oil, and Soylent Green, which is people, Ambronite seems downright normal. It's not, of course: Like Soylent Green and Soylent, Ambronite is a "drinkable meal" intended to replace a regular, ...

Yes, three servings a day. 350mg per serving, so 1050 per day. I think having low sodium is a good thing as other folks may have to limit their sodium intake. Better to supplement than be over? nutrition.JPG480x640 123 KB nutrition.JPG480x640 123…

Edit: Just noticed in another posting that 1 serving has 15% of RDA, so 3x is 45%. I don't have the official Soylent yet, but I seem to remember that 1 package = 3 servings. Maybe @vanclute or @soylentnoise can straighten me out on the official Nutrition…

Only 45% of the RDA. That probably explains it. I'll go with adding extra water at first, and then start adding some non-iodized sodium chloride if that doesn't work. Thanks @BriBy

Wow, I didn't expect this. Someone is selling a beta version: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Soylent-Official-1-0-Powdered-Food-Meal-Replacement-plus-one-SOYLENT-BETA-/161313625797?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item258f0a96c5

It says 350mg per serving

The general guideline out here for the field crews I work with is glass of electrolyte drink (Gatorade etc) for every 2 glasses of water. So @gilahacker might be right since a glass of soylent is comparable (lower sodium but higher potassium per glass…

Yeah the only reason any of it is selling for outrageous premiums is because there is a market willing & able to pay it. As soon as that market dries up (and/or more Soylent supply shows up on ebay), the auction prices will fall. In fact they already…

Yep I've noticed the same, but have a hard time quantifying what's going on. Could all just be in my head, or maybe tied to smells... who knows (nose?)!

Lecithin is an emulsifier (keeps the drink mixed and helps prevent separation) It also has small amounts of Choline in it.

Not sure its the same thing. I was not in any way in ketosis, I was just hungry because I didn't eat any solids and that made me question whether I was getting enough nutrients. @rvalsera What's the purpose of lecithin?

None of these eBay auctions have said "they are doing it for the community." Its supply & demand at work!

Still, if you're going to do it for a profit dont tell the community that you are doing it to help everyone get a taste of it, its just hypocritical. If you want to do it for a profit just post it and say that you are selling soylent, not that you are…

it irks me too, but i know i would do the same thing in their shoes lol

i'm really disappointed, people from the community saying that they are selling Soylent to let us try it sure sound nice a generous, but they sell it for an ENORMOUS amount of money... its just greedy if you ask me... its hard to get the word out if you…

I took a look through some of my available protein choices and it seems like in order to keep the Cystine and Methionine reduced my best option is Pea Protein. Not a terrible option choice wise but I'm thinking the "earthy flavor" may be a bit of an issue.…

In that same link, "The lid bust open with a bang that resembled the sound of a Champagne cork." - hmm.I guess dont store it, just drink it right away or leave the lid loose. So soylent can also be used in revolutions to keep the attacking government…

Standing at the streetcar stop a few weeks ago, tired and hungry after a long day at work, my arms loaded down with groceries, I longed for Soylent. I had interviewed Rob Rhinehart, whose company sells Soylent, a beige liquid that he claims has every…

I cannot corroborate any of this. I think I am too OCD about things. If I take DIY Soylent to work I uncork it every hour to drink a little, and I never leave anything food-related at work, fridge or not. If you want a real surprise, empty a can of black…

Yeah I suppose it wouldn't matter... I just wonder if maybe there are ingredients that DIYers are using, that are more prone to fermentation than 1.0? No idea if it's true or not, just a passing curiosity.

Fermentation builds pressure, if you have something that holds a lot of pressure before failing, then you can have it happen with 1.0

So far I've only seen reports like this with DIY... I wonder if it could happen with 1.0?

I foresee a warning label on future packages. Seriously the force could seriously injure someone. Very humorous to read these stories, but man I hope nobody gets hurt.

Yeah that sounds very much like what I've experienced, though I wasn't aware of any deliberate directing of the dream content. They definitely did contain elements of things that had happened recently though, but that's pretty typical. Most striking…

Very cool, thanks for sharing the recipe... I was wondering. If I still had a waffle maker I would be somewhat tempted to try this... I do enjoy me some waffles.

Omg we have so many merch ideas - can't wait until we have the resources to devote to them!! I personally want blender bottles and hoodies, so we'll see!
