    Default Miracle Berry

    I remember learning about this in biology, and said to myself if I ever went off sugar again, I'd get me some: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miraculin

    Well, now I'm off sugar again, and I want some, but it's proving harder to find than I anticipated!

    Any ideas?

    Also, GCG, Goji Jucie comes up a lot in googling miraculin. What's the deal there?

    Wow, I had no idea this existed. Sound freaky but cool

    I quit sugar about 6 months ago. Increasing my intake of healthy fats really helped quell the sugar cravings. Another thing was having low sugar fruits...the ones high in natural sugars triggered me to have the real thing. The beginning was horrible, but now I don't even crave it. Good luck!

    I don't know, I hope it's not only available in Asia. I found a place to buy the seeds to grow the plant...but I'm not fancy like that.

    I went to my favourite herb store yesterday and they didn't have it...they had dried Goji berries there, apparently it's something totally different. But some Goji juice companies advertise their stuff as having miraculin in it...so I'm confused.

    So anyways, I got some Stevia and Xylitol (I can't do any other fake sugars). Made some oatmeal raisin cookies with stevia and almond flour, and by gum they're fantastic!
