Did you know

• To human tastes, the bitterness-suppressing
  quality of AMP interprets as food seeming
  'sweeter'. This makes lower-calorie food products
  more palatable, making AMP potentially a
  lucrative solution for food manufacturers as they
  respond to pressure from consumers and regulators
  concerned about social trends towards obesity.
  AMP has been approved by the Food and Drug
  Administration as a 'Bitter Blocker' additive to
  foodstuffs.
