Hey, it's Ben Greenfield. I was in bed last night reading Men's Journal magazine and I came

across a story about this cutting-edge meal replacement called Soilant. And you're actually

going to learn a little bit why you may want to avoid that stuff like the plague in today's

of today's sponsors. First of all, this podcast is brought to you by a company called

Aloha, which you can check out at alohad.com slash Ben. One of the things that Aloha

There aren't any fillers, additives, chemical flavors or colors or anything else that

And about 150 calories. You get a free trial of it. While supplies last, which we'll probably

can get because this podcast is also brought to you by Nuts. Nuts.com is where I get my

dried fruit. It's where I get my chia seeds. It's where I get my Brazil nuts. It's where

I get my dried mangoes. Yes, I actually do eat dried mangoes, despite being one of those
