SoylentNews is people

In other Soylent news, the powdered foodstuff has a new "version release":

Soylent founder Rob Rhinehart has continued to update Soylent's formula, tweaking the contents and altering the micro- and macronutrient blend in response to user feedback and also actual science and lab-work. The latest change, to "version 1.4," is the most significant since the product's launch: in addition to ditching the often leaky bottles of oil, the amount of soluble fiber has been greatly reduced, from 10g per pouch to 3.9g; the total amount of fiber has been reduced from 30g to 16g per pouch.

Other changes include reduced portion size (the pouches indicate 4 rather than 3 servings), a smoother texture, a more neutral and less dough-like flavor, and less "butt stuff." Why? "Some people's gut bacteria are not accustomed to the soluble fiber."

    Unfortunately, apparently none of the keto-recipes has a list of actual ingredients. Maybe I can publish my own set and get some feedback there if they fix this page.

    The archive is months old, so if the site begins working again there should be more content.
