messing with nature again?

[Guest guest]

Scientists

in China are reporting development of a low-calorie, low-sugar vegetable juice

custom-designed for millions of individuals with diabetes and pre-diabetic

conditions that involve abnormally high blood sugar. They reported on the new

drink at the 237th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society.

Heqin Xing, Ph.D., and

Xiuqi Liu of Jilin University in Changchun, China, described a cost-effective

method of preparing a special type of vegetable drink using lactic

acid-producing bacteria (LAB) to remove carbohydrates while retaining good

taste, vitamins and other nutrients.

This is not much different than the invention of cheese where bacterial action on a relatively poor food made it better. The problems I see here are that the final product will be missing essential fiber content, which is also important for diabetics, and that the original vegetables will not be organic and probably will be deficient in minerals.

 

Fermentation can make an inferior food better, but it can never supply missing minerals nor remove all the impurities present in the original product or added in the processing. Need I remind you of what we have done to infant feeding formulas?
