Sweet Protein for Sweetener Standard
Humanity's favourite legal addiction, sugar, is perhaps the leading cause of death in the world. Responsible for the development of numerous diseases, including deadly cardiovascular defects, claiming over 18 million lives a year.

The current chemical method we use to treat this, artificial sweeteners, is not much of an improvement. They have been linked to numerous health issues, not to mention aspartame earning a carcinogen warning by the WHO earlier this year. These factors have drastically driven down their mass adoption, and has allowed sugar-related deaths to continue to grow.

Our project aims to develop sweet proteins, a class of proteins that interacts with the tongue in the same way that sugar does, but digesting in the same way a protein would in the stomach. It is a sweetener that puts health first before anything else, and we see it as the final frontier of sweetener science. We have the opportunity to put a major dent in the deaths caused by sugar, and drastically increase the healthspan of humanity.
