The truth about drinks helps people live without eating

An American inventor claimed to have successfully prepared a milk powder, which could provide us with all the necessary nutrients, replacing the need for traditional meals.

Inventor Rob Rhinehart revealed, he came up with the idea of ​​premium milk powder for everyone because he felt frustrated with the amount of time spent preparing and eating meals as usual.Soylent milk powder was originally born only to serve its own needs, but then Rhinehart marketed it online and now has the first 30,000 customers.

Each Soylent product is packed in white boxes, including powdered milk packs and cooking oil packs. According to the manufacturer, when mixing 2 packs of flour and oil with water, users will have 2,000 calories in liquid form, containing the essential fats from canola oil, carbohydrates from a food additive called maltodextrin , oatmeal Rice and rice flour provide protein. Essential vitamins, minerals and vegetable oils are all added to the product.

The 25-year-old software engineer Rhinehart declared, his inventive new drink was delicious and described traditional solid food as "fossil fuel for human energy".

However, scientists have voiced their skepticism. Ashley Blackshaw, bowel neuroscience professor at Queen Mary University of London (UK), emphasized that all trace elements and natural chemicals available in plants, such as lycopene in tomatoes, which are associated with low rates of prostate cancer, are deficient in Soylent.

"There is a question of the relationship between intestinal bacterial fermentation and cancer. Everything there, in our intestinal tract, has gone through millions of years," Blackshaw told a newspaper . "If I have doubts about bowel cancer, I will have to stay away from this kind of drink."

According to Mr. Blackshaw, more and more research works have found a link between food and people's mood. A drink like Soylent could throw away all that impact.
