What would be the results of living solely off this product?

[Green Xenon]

Hi:

 

I currently daydream of a hypothetical food product. This product is vegan-friendly and has all the vegetables, fruits, herbs, algae, mushrooms, seaweed, and other non-animal organisms that are necessary/beneficial for human health. It also contains beneficial and essential microbes [such as probiotics and the Red Star T-6635+ yeast which is a vegan-friendly source of B12]. All the aforementioned organisms are in amounts and proportions optimum for human health.

 

This product is completely organic and free of any pesticides, synthetic ethylene and other man-made substances that compromise the heath of foods and their human consumers. In addition, no organisms used in the product are genetically-engineered or irradiated. Equally important is the environment used to grow these organisms is healthy, organic, and free of pollutants.

 

Prior to the making of this product, all proteins & fats are pre-digested completely, and the following substances are completely removed from the concoction:

 

1. Any carbohydrate that raises blood sugar. Soluble fibers [such as inulin] are not removed at all as they don't count as net carbs. Simple sugars and digestible starches are completely removed. Insoluble carbohydrates [such as cellulose] are also completely removed.

2. Glycerol

3. Saturated fatty acids

4. Trans fatty acids

5. Hydrogen ions [to decrease acidity/increase alkalinity of the product]

6. Any substance that is known not to be beneficial or necessary for health -- such as the caffeine in coffee/teas and ephedrine in ephedra

 

All organisms used in this product -- excluding tomatoes -- are raw. Tomatoes are boiled to bring out the lycopenes.

 

Bad minerals [such as lead and thallium] are completely removed [assuming any of them happen to somehow be in the product. The concentration of sodium is decreased until it is as low as it can get without causing any symptoms of sodium deficiency. The concentration of chlorine* is decreased until it is as low as possible without causing any serious symptoms of chlorine* deficiency – the consumer should still be able to move, walk, talk, drive, operate machinery and perform others tasks normally taken for granted. To further decrease the acidity/increase the alkalinity of the product, hydronium ions are de-protonated and the resulting free-protons are removed. Also, any existing chemical in the product with a pH below 7 is deprotonated until its pH rises to 7.

 

It is important to understand that chlorine* deficiency will cause the body to react by excreting potassium, leading to potassium deficiency. To make up for this potassium loss, additional potassium ions are added to the product. In addition, this product has no carbohydrate that would cause any increase in blood sugar. As a result, ketosis will set in. Ketosis provides ketones which the central nervous system can use for energy in place of glucose. However, these ketones cause the body to become acidic. To neutralize this resulting acidity, potassium hydroxide is added to the product. Yes, KOH is added but in amounts that are small enough not to cause chemical burns or other injuries to the consumer.

 

The product has drinking water added to it to make it easier to drink.

 

This product is in small health-friendly, eco-friendly bottles. Five bottles per day should be consumed. The bottles are in a package and are of different sizes. The biggest bottle should be consumed in the morning. The smallest should be consumed in the evening. In between, are bottles of different sizes. Earlier in the day, the bigger bottles should be consumed and as the day progresses the smaller bottles should be consumed. This routine follows the saying eat breakfast link a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper -- except the food is divided into 5 smaller meals instead of 3 bigger meals. This is an extra benefit to diabetes patients.

 

To summarize, the substances in the product are chopped all the way down to the molecular level [tomatoes are boiled prior to this]. Second, the proteins/fats are pre-digested all the way down to their monomers [amino acids in the case of proteins, fatty acids & glycerol in the case of fats]. Third, the undesirable substances are removed. Fourth, good microbes, KOH, potassium ions, and drinking water are added. Finally, all the substances are blended together.

 

*Chlorine is a mineral that is present – in the form of chloride – in the human body and in certain foods. It is required only in trace amounts.

 

There still will be fat in this product, it's just that they will be broken down to fatty acids [and the glycerol portions removed] prior to bottling. Many fatty acids are necessary and/or beneficial for health. They also assist in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. In addition, these beneficial/essential fatty acids can provide ketones which are the body’s chief source of energy in the absence of glucose.

 

It is very important to understand that removal of undesired substances from this hypothetical product does *not* require or involve the addition of any chemicals.

 

Here is my question.

 

How long could the average 28-year-old adult male human survive on this product alone with an addition of eight 8-oz glasses of pure “drinking water” a day [total of 64 oz]?

 

What symptoms would he experience once he starts drinking this product [and not eating anything else] and drinks at least eight 8 oz glasses of pure “drinking water” a day? What symptoms after 7 days of this routine? A month? A year?

 

My guess is that there would be alkalosis. Alkalosis would suppress the respiratory system [because the body would react to the alkalosis by calling for CO2 to neutralize the alkalinity]. This would lead to oxygen deficiency. As a result there would be an increase in red blood cells to make up for this lack of oxygen.

 

 

Thanks,

 

GX

Ok, but what if negatively-charged lactate ions [stripped of the toxic H+ ions] are added to this product? I made a mistake in thinking that the brain can depend solely on ketones for energy. Only astrocytes can rely on on ketones - neurons and other glia would still need lactate ions for energy. Normally, lactate is obtained from glucose. However, if lactate already available, then glucose is not required. So if my product contains lactate, then the consumer's brain can still be in tip-top condition, while he/she loses weight without exercising. Right?

 

Toxicity associated with lactic-acid is due to the H+ ions. The negatively-charged lactate is what provides energy to the CNS.

H+ ions are essential for your health. If, say you continually removed H+ ions as they were generated you would die very very quickly.

Yes. Not to mention that all the water in your body comes with a small amount of auto-ionized H+ .

 

Green Xenon:

 

Who told you that H+ ions are toxic? Do me a favor and bonk them over the head.
