Soylent gets a version bump to 1.1-new flavor, new gut flora help | Ars Technica - 0 views

  • The second change deals with my biggest issue with Soylent—what can be politely termed as "a bit of gas." Regular Soylent use eliminates the gas, but using Soylent as an occasional substitute for a missed meal—which is my preferred usage of the stuff—can introduce some thunderous gut activity (which I referred to in my original Soylent review as "horse-killing farts").

      Horse-killing Farts, I like this description for a fart. I can only guess what that is like.

      I would try it for a week so I would not have to cook and clean up.

      This is the science of what Soylent has to give us ENERGY
  • As the primary source of energy for the body, carbohydrates are the largest component of Soylent by mass. The two main sources of carbs in Soylent are the starch in oat flour and the oligosaccharide Maltodextrin. Maltodextrin is a medium-long chain of glucose units composed of both 1->4 and 1->6 glycosidic bonds. Starches are long polysaccharide repeats consisting of amylose and amylopectin linked together by glycosidic bonds and are broken down slowly by the body, thus preventing a spike in blood sugar.
