GlennR Nov 2017 4:38pm, 7 Nov 2017 31,633 posts	0 GlennR I'm not sure if this belongs here or not. Any views? '“If there’s a downside, it is kind of crazy tasting,” said Geoff Woo, the founder of HVMN, a Silicon Valley company that makes nootropics, or performance-enhancing supplements. We were in a conference room in The Atlantic’s office building, and he was bracing me for my trial run of his latest product. It was a small, clear vial labeled “Ketone,” a new type of energy drink his company is releasing this week. Its nutrition label says it contains 120 calories, but no carbs, no fat, and no protein. Instead, it’s all ketones, the chemical that Woo and his company are calling a “fourth food group.” He hopes the drink will allow people to reap the benefits of occasional fasting—high ketone levels inside the body—without actually having to not eat. I unscrewed the top and, college-days muscle memory kicking in, chugged it like a shot of Captain Morgan. It tasted like cough syrup that had been poured into a garbage bag and left in the sun. “Augh!” I cried. “I compare it to a combination of a liquor shot with nail-polish remover,” Woo said.'

Dvorak Nov 2017 7:52pm, 7 Nov 2017 14,627 posts	0 Dvorak I have a bottle of something from the venerable R. Jelínek company of Visovice, Moravia, which exactly matches Mr Woo's taste description. It is a very occasional "treat". I think I bought it about twelve years ago. I don't know what it was actually made from. (If the product works as intended on the founder, I so hope that someone will go up to him and say "Are you with me, Dr Woo; are you really just a shadow of the man that I once knew?")
