Dude, that's awesome! NOT!!
The E. Coli is grown in tanks. When they take a dump, that stuff is collected because it contains the protein aspartic acid-phenylalanine amino acid. Once treated with methanol, it then becomes the artificial sweetener.
Now, let's be real. This is still not enough for me, at least, to give up my Coke Zero. And no, I'm not curious to even read the label of my beloved Coke Zero for a content check. But it is at least good to know. From crack cocaine to bacteria poop man, we've come a long way. I guess I should end with the old coke adage: "Have a Coke and a smile!"
Thanks, Monsanto!
