Recently, I listened to an interview with Montreal-based writer Adam Leith Gollner about his new book, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce, and Obsession. Goliner traveled around the world in pursuit of the history of fruit, leading him to discover "the miracle berry", a cranberry-like fruit that turns sour into sweet. When you eat the the miracle berry, you can eat an entire lime, for example, and it will literally be sweet. That's right. Imagine, no more mouth watering response when you think about biting into a lime as it becomes as juicy and sweet as an orange! Imagine! Not surprisingly, due to possible corporate interests, this amazing fruit has yet to reach consumers. In fact, this miracle berry was banned by the FDA in early 1970's, even though it could easily be an easy and all-healthy alternative to sugar. See the interview with Amy Goodman on Democracy Now!
