Research results
It is emphasized that Russian scientists were able to recreate a sample of such a protein in the laboratory.
Experts emphasized that the resulting substitute does not harm the human body, since it does not affect the level of insulin in the blood.
Rostislav Kovalevsky noted: “Besides, you will never be able to distinguish the taste of such a substitute from the taste of real sugar.”
