David's protein milkshake has 2 grams of fat in it and tastes like a milkshake. The fat is one ingredient, EPG, and your body mostly doesn't absorb it.

The label sorts itself into four systems, which is unusual for a consumer product. Protein system: ultrafiltered skim milk, water, lactase enzyme. Fat system: modified plant fat, EPG. Flavor system: Dutch process cocoa, natural and artificial flavor, salt, sucralose, acesulfame potassium. Structure system: dipotassium phosphate, gum arabic, cellulose gum, gellan gum.

EPG is the interesting part. It starts as rapeseed oil. They split the oil into glycerol and fatty acids, insert propylene glycol units into the glycerol, and put it back together. Those inserted units sit right where lipase needs to grab, so the enzyme mostly can't break it down. It coats your mouth like fat and carries flavor like fat, then leaves without giving up its calories. 10 grams of regular fat is 90 calories. 10 grams of EPG is about 7.

If you're old enough to remember olestra, that's the right comparison and it's the reason this one is built differently. Olestra was a liquid oil at body temperature, and that's where the side effects came from. EPG melts at 102 degrees, above body temperature, so it stays solid on the way through. The company describes the consistency as soft candle wax.

The structure system is four ingredients. Gellan gum comes from a bacterial fermentation and forms a gel so thin you can't feel it, but strong enough to hold cocoa particles in suspension. It's what keeps the cocoa from sinking to the bottom during months on a shelf. Gum arabic is dried sap from the acacia tree. It's an emulsifier, so it keeps the fat and the water from separating. Cellulose gum is plant fiber that's been modified to dissolve, and it adds body so the shake feels thick instead of watery. Dipotassium phosphate is a buffer. Milk protein wants to clump when it's heated to make a drink shelf stable, and the phosphate holds the pH where the protein stays dissolved.

The sweeteners are a pair. Sucralose is slow to hit and lingers. Acesulfame potassium hits fast and has a bitter finish. Blended, each one covers the other and the result tastes close enough to sugar. The Dutch process cocoa is cocoa treated with alkali, which darkens it, softens the bitterness, and makes it disperse in liquid instead of clumping the way natural cocoa does.

EPG is GRAS, not an approved food additive. The company assembles the safety file, FDA reviews it and issues a letter saying it has no questions. There are three of those letters on file. The molecule was developed in the 80s and didn't reach a product until around 2020. The longest human study in the file ran eight weeks. So the safety data is real, but the long term impact is being written right now by the people drinking it.

@TheTennisLetter Elana is a class act

NY Fans are a pathetic embarrassment to the sport. Disgusting display

By comparison, picture fans running out the door at Wimbledon. It would NEVER happen. They’d be mortified to witness such low-class behavior.

[Sandore @MichaelSandore]

@nick_ally1986 Accurate display of what low class animals NY fans are after Elana Rybakina beat Goff, 95% stadium ran out the door before her victory speech. Zero class. Imagine that scene at Wimbledon, mortifying, it would never happen.
