Miracle berry comes from Synsepalum dulcificum, an African plant. The berries are known to activate the sweet receptors in the taste buds, an effect that lasts until the protein is washed away by saliva, after about 60 minutes.

This video is an excerpt from "the Doctors" television show, and demonstrates to viewers how to make a meal or snack containing no sugar. Utilizing miracle berries, tart cherries, greek yogurt with no sugar or sweetener, and lemon juice, a chef makes a parfait that is clearly satisfying to all involved.

Most notable are the more far-reaching benefits of this berry. The chef speaks of his discovery of the miracle berry working to correct taste for cancer chemo patients. Both he and a doctor on the show report that chemo recipients have difficulty eating or vomitting their food due to a "metallic, rubbery" taste to everything they eat. The miracle berry reportedly "latches onto the sour receptor and straightens out the metallic taste for chemo patients so they can eat normally," said the chef.

In this clip, this chef reports that the method he developed for his friend in chemo treatment led him to explore the benefits of the berry for weight loss and to develop the "Miracle Berry Cookbook." Also available are sweetener tablets derived from the miracle berry.

The miracle berry has been used in West Africa since the 18th century and attempts have been made to cultivate it here in the United States since the 1970s. It has not fared well in America since its classification as a food additive, and there is suspicion about interference by the sugar lobbies. With the chef's cookbook and the new tablet sweeteners, it will be interesting to see how businesses develop.

There is no denying the science of the miracle berry method: When one ingests sour foods, which creates a low phat low pH, miraculin, the active ingredient of the miracle berry, binds protons and becomes able to activate the sweet receptors. This results in the perception of sweet taste. It is indeed a miracle for dieters who wish to banish sugar from their menu!
