So sweet, no spike: microbially produced protein 3k times sweeter than sugar

Protein isn't a magical satiation macronutrient, else protein shakes would be at the top of the satiety index and potatoes wouldn't be #1.

You're using the word "carbs" as a euphemism for refined grain and sugar. When you say we eat too many carbs, presumably you aren't talking about broccoli. Why not just say refined gains and sugar?

It's like demonizing "proteins" because you can't eat gluten.

I think you're confusing proteins and carbs. Dietary fiber yes a carb is not a problem as the body typically does not process dietary fiber. You need some carbs in the diet, but have you ever checked the nutritional label? Sugar is a carb. You really only need so much carbs in your diet and that is about 100g to 200g.
