I would DEFINITELY try it! It sounds like so much fun!!!

I'm not sure that this berry "defies the very idea of rasa." Is it really true that rasa is in the thing itself (ie the berry)? Contemporary scientific theory indicates that no experience is objective; the observer always influences the experience. Is the rasa the 'sap' or our perception of it?

I must say I would be a bit concerned for those individuals who have severe stomach problems and may not know what they are getting into. If an individual with severe heartburn or acid reflux were invited by a friend as a fun surprise, and they were, non maliciously, perhaps lead to believe that the foods weren't as acidic as they truly are, one might overindulge in foods very painful and even dangerous to their bodies.

When a good friend of mine was younger and still in the drinking stage of his life, he was at a going-away party in his honor before he left for college. A few friends offered him a shot of Everclear, and, not knowing how intense it was, he accepted. He wound up in the hospital because it activated such bad acid reflux that he had to have his stomach pumped. Two years later, the damage caused by the acidity had slowly created a tense ring in the bottom of his esophagus which eventually caused him so much pain when he ate solid foods that he stopped breathing from shock. He had to undergo 2 surgeries to get to eat solid food again, but not before he lost over 50 pounds and looked like a walking skeleton...

This sounds like alot of fun, but even those with strong stomachs should be sure to watch how much they consume of something they know to be sour and heavily acidic.

ArcticLotus, as far as I see. I dont think you bring a valid point here. The miracle fruit masks sour flavors, I am sure a person that is self knowing to have this disesaes would know not to indluge in lemons and limes like a monster?

This could be actually a very good thing for diabetics, I myself get Miracle Fruit from www.MiracleFruitHut.com since I am diabetic. And I use it regularly, I have yet to have bad refluxes etc, and theres medicine to help cure that. I personally feel that I love miracle fruit since I can keep my sugar intake in balence and still enjoy foods as if it were better then desert.
