Re: [DIYbio] Coca-Cola Crowdsourcing Challenges

Not to defend coke or anything, but that's correlation, which alone does not imply causation. It's easy to imagine (though I haven't looked into this) that people who are already at risk of poor health outcomes might have lifestyles that favour sweet beverages, also.

“Drinking at least one artificially sweetened beverage daily was associated with almost three times the risk of developing stroke or dementia compared to those who drank artificially sweetened beverages less than once a week,” according to the American researchers who carried out a study published in Stroke, the journal of the American Heart Association.

Hi DIYbio community, 

I wanted to make sure you are aware of the crowdsourcing competitions that The Coca-Cola Company is sponsoring to find new natural sweeteners.   This a great opportunity to put your bio skills to work to compete for some pretty great prizes!

The $1,000,000 Sweetness Challenge seeks a natural, safe, low/reduced-calorie compound that tastes like sugar when used in beverages and foods and is not derived from, Stevia or Lo Han Guo (Monk Fruit). https://herox.com/cocacolasweetenerchallenge

The $100,000 Sweet Story Challenge seeks stories of the sweet in people's lives. Stories about tried and true methods to naturally sweeten food or drink, or how communities, cultures, and families have done so safely for many years. https://herox.com/cocacolasweetstorychallenge

Good luck!
