Soilent first appeared on radars a few months ago, when Mr. Reinhart talked about making the perfect drink, moreover cheap and not requiring cooking and cleaning. Talk about diet from one product has been underway for a long time, so he did not surprise anyone. In addition, everyone who absorbed tons of NF in his youth is wonderful knows that in the future we will be stuffed with a unified mass without taste and smell, but extremely nutritious and healthy. And Mr. Reinhart, seems to have decided to bring this future closer. He established a startup, which was sponsored by nearly 3,700 people. Today sponsors Already transferred $ 440 thousand. More than a thousand investors agreed give away $ 230 in exchange for a monthly stock of solent, about two dozen – $ 680 for a three-month period. Actively on the project forum and Reddit website other recipes for universal drinking are discussed. Mr. Reinhart walks on editorial blogs and offers a try.

It may seem that soylent is created for those who are used to food quick but Mr. Reinhart imagines it a little different. “I live in a poor neighborhood where people have problems with health due to malnutrition, says the inmate Brooklyn – And I worked with high-tech wireless networks that are designed to reduce the cost of Internet access. And I thought: a why not do the same with access to healthy food? “you, Of course, watched the film “Green Soylent” and already hold on to tummies, but Mr. Reinhart advises re-reading Harry Harrison’s novel “Move over! Move over!” (Make Room! Make Room!) the basis of the picture. There it’s just a mixture of soy and lentils, using which solved the problem of the food crisis in conditions overpopulation of the planet. Soylent is not the first product to claim the role of balanced nutrition. Famous harvard molecular geneticist George Church lived on a “medium” for some time own preparation, and from it all the time it smelled of yeast. Abbott Nutrition sells Ensure Plus drinks that are it is recommended to take, after consulting with your doctor. (Incidentally, it was with this drug that the prisoners were forcibly fed “Guantanamo”, on a hunger strike.) And there are people who have to take nutrients intravenously, but that’s already a completely different area with its own nuances. According to Mr. Reinhart, The key point is the low cost of solent. He admits that for now the product is more expensive than necessary and is struggling to make it cheaper.

People who love to cook and who can afford Fresh foods are hardly interested in Soylent. Who is he will it fit? Mr. Reinhart does not hide the list of ingredients. Formula vegetarian, but not vegan. According to the inventor, everything components approved by the Food Quality Authority US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). But doubts are Rob Reinhart himself. He is an electrical engineer, not a nutritionist or medic. is he claims to have studied dietetics by reading open-air scientific articles access, FDA tutorials and inquiries, and also went through several online courses. His first object of study was himself: says he hasn’t eaten anything but the solent for thirty days, carefully fixing the state of health, making a blood test and watching well-being. According to the results of the experiment, the formula has undergone changes. Now the product is at the seventh stage revisions. He says he lost weight, is full of energy. Having sat on the solent first month, Mr. Reinhart got bored without the social aspect of taking food. Now he recommends at the weekend at least from time to time. sit at the common table and take ordinary food. Sometimes other people test the soylent with him, but he cannot say how many of them lasted at least thirty days. Most nutritionists are surprised by the desire to sit on a single product. TO they are generally very negative towards soylent. For example, Steve Collins, founder and head of Valid Nutrition, a manufacturing company Ready to Use Foods (prevention and treatment of malnutrition), says the mistake is the desire to replace a varied diet with one drink. Susan Roberts of Tufts University did not see anything in solent new compared to other nutritious cocktails. With one hand, a small proportion of fat is good, but refusing ordinary food fraught with complications. “There are many nutritious fruits and vegetables substances about which we do not know anything yet, therefore reproduce the ideal formula for human nutrition at this stage is impossible “, – emphasizes the specialist. If necessary, live on solent possible, but this does not guarantee optimal health. She fears that in the long run such an enthusiast will acquire a bouquet of chronic diseases. Tracy Anthony of Rutgers University saw specific weaknesses in the formula: “Digestible soluble protein source (whey) in combined with a simple sugar source (maltodextrin) creates high glycemic index product. Humanly speaking Whenever you take Soylent, your insulin jumps with not very good effects on glucose levels, feelings satiety and mental health. “She also notes that consumption of a minimum set of nutrients in which the human body needs and healthy eating is different things. Of course, you can live on the Solent for some time, but this the drug lacks many of the ingredients needed for prevention and treatment of diseases, as well as a long and fulfilling life. Not Ms. Anthony liked the lack of a bouquet of fragrances. Mr. Reinhart considers this an advantage: supposedly from a neutral, slightly sweetish solent’s taste you won’t get tired as quickly as from a certain flavor, although in the future he does not mind experimenting with different smells. Ms. Anthony notes that aroma is essential for health and body and spirit. But it is enough for Mr. Reinhart that he and the others lived for several months on one or almost one solent. Of course, the formula will be clarified, and eventually they will hire a company nutritionists who will come up with something else. Perhaps there will be several solents. Especially since (no matter how nutritionists were surprised) many are interested in artificial nutrition.
